Story: sometimes bodies
Author: Significant Owl
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 1520
Author's Summary: She couldn't see the bottom.
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Martha
Warnings: Sex, but not extremely graphic.

Recced because: It was hard to choose just one of Significant Owl's stories to rec; she has a wonderfully lyrical but economical way with words, and excellent characterization. This is set immediately after "42," one of my favorite stories for the Doctor and Martha's dynamic. It follows up on the moments of vulnerability in that episode, and has some really lovely imagery.

rec: House Rules

Hello, I'm [livejournal.com profile] platypus, and I'll be reccing, uh, a lot of adult-rated stuff. With, I promise, some variation in who's involved and why it's adult.

Story: House Rules
Author: daera23
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 2809
Author's Summary: Black lace knickers, black push-up bra, and black motorcycle boots. He’s sensing a pattern here.
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Rose
Warnings: Moderately graphic sex.

Recced because of my deep weakness for handporn. This story delivers exactly what it promises.

rec: And Always

Story: "And Always"
Author: rallalon
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 2182
Author's Summary: "'Hello,' Rose replies, tugging the Doctor’s overcoat tighter around her, brown-dyed hair brushing softly against the lapels."
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Jack/Rose
Warnings: Sexual situations/language.

Recced because: This story is part of an AU series, "Held at a Distance," the first story of which has already been recced here.  It's an OT3 tale with a difference: in this 'Verse, the team keep in touch after TPOTW, but Jack's "wrongness" causes the Doctor to be violently, physically ill if two of them get too close ("too close" being "within thirty feet of one another").  As a result, Jack has separated from the others but they stay in periodic contact, with Rose acting as the go-between.  In this (very explicit) story, Rose and the Doctor conspire to give Jack a special, unexpected surprise during one of her visits; the love and longing are achingly palpable and vividly memorable, turning what could have been a simple PWP (if an exceptionally well-written one) into one of the most sweetly heartbreaking stories you'll ever read.  (Be sure to read the whole series, while you're there -- well worth it!!)

Story: A Second Chance
Author: LondonBeauty
Rating: Adult - Explicit Sex, Swearing - Character Study, Het, Romance
Word Count: 9928
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness, Martha Jones, Other Character(s), Tish Jones
Author's Summary: Having returned to a normal life after walking away from the Doctor, Martha finds her thoughts straying to another doctor. She just needs a little encouragement in the right direction.
Warnings: Explicit Sex, Swearing

Recced because: She had me at "Operation Stalk-a-Stud!" This was so much fun. I love the way LondonBeauty writes the relationships between Martha and Jack and Martha and Tish.

rec: the wages of love

Story: The Wages of Love
Author: Darkerchild
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 1684
Author's Summary: Zagreus missing scene. The TARDIS tortures the Doctor. Very adult.
Characters/Pairings: Eighth Doctor/TARDIS
Warnings: Very dark.

Recced because: Another brilliant piece from the kinkmeme that I was thrilled to find on teaspoon. When the author says it's adult and I say it's dark, we ain't kiddin'. If you've heard the Big Finish audio Zagreus then you can probably imagine what we mean. If you haven't heard it...what's wrong with you?!?!?! Needless to say, I absolutely adore this story because the relationship between the Doctor and the TARDIS is my one true OTP and to see one betray the other...gives me shivers just thinking about it.

Author's Summary: Sarah Jane Smith comes home.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith/Sergeant Benton/Harry Sullivan
Warnings: Awesomeness

Recced because: This story was written for me, so it should be no surprise to anyone that I'm reccing it. But the truth is, even if it hadn't been written for me this would still be one of my top five favorite Who stories EVER. It's got everything I could possibly want. Hope and love and companions realistically dealing with the aftermath of their time with the Doctor. It also has one of the greatest Brig cameos in the history of fanfic. I love this story so much it's ridiculous.

rec: isobel's zoe

Femslash recs this week!

Story: Isobel's Zoe
Author: Amy Wolf
Rating: Adult
Word count: 1200
Author's summary: What can go on between two women, besides photography.
Characters/Pairings: Zoe/Isobel Watkins (from The Invasion)
Warnings: Explicit Sex

Recced because: This fic does everything right. Both women are very well characterised, with a clear contrast being drawn between Zoe's openminded 21st century perspective (as broadened further my travelling with the Doctor) and Isobel's dealing with attitudes to homosexuality that she's absorbed from the culture of her time. It's that bit of characterisation that's my very favourite thing about it: I don't think I've seen a better handling of the issue in fanfic before or since: most of the time, it's handwaved away and when it's not it tends to be either superficial or clunky. The sex is both integral to the plot and very hot, even while walking that tightrope. And on top of all that, it slots perfectly into its moment in canon.

Rec: Do You Remember The First Time? by ionlylurkhere

Story: Do You Remember The First Time?
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ionlylurkhere / Lurky McLurklurk
Wordcount: 2767
Rating: Adult
Author's Summary: Martha Jones, The Doctor (10th)


Recced because: Nothing is ever straight forward with a Timelord, including his sex life - as [livejournal.com profile] ionlylurkhere proves in this rather steamy tale! Timey-wimey takes on a whole new meaning when Martha sleeps with the Doctor for the first time.

Author: Lurky McLurklurk/[livejournal.com profile] ionlylurkhere
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 4,202
Author's Summary: Ten/Martha. Teacher/student.
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Martha
Warnings: BDSM, explicit sex, swearing

Recced because: I've been dying to rec this story ever since it first appeared on [livejournal.com profile] sizeofthatthing. Teacher/student: a classic kink easy to explore as a 1969 fic in which the Doctor, needing access to school equipment to build his timey-wimey detector, takes a job as a biology teacher. (At Coal Hill School, naturally.) While he works on his lesson plan for basic human reproduction, Martha decides to test his knowledge – and his patience – and gets a very personal demonstration as the answer to her questions. The sex is incredibly hot, but this story is also worth reading just for the banter between Ten and Martha, which is sweet, funny, and very in character.

Rec: Solitaire

Story: Solitaire
Author: Bagheera/[livejournal.com profile] bagheera_san
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 6,380
Author's Summary: After "The Deadly Assassin," the Doctor stays on Gallifrey to be President. But years later, a mysterious stranger tries to assassinate the Doctor, and the Master may be the only one who knows enough to stop him.
Characters/Pairings: Four, Five/Ainley!Master, Six, Seven, Eight/Ainley!Master
Warnings: Explicit Sex

Recced because: This story is creepy, dark, and yet, at times, very funny. The Doctor, growing lazy and complacent as president of Gallifrey, suddenly finds himself reliant on the Master to save his life ... and also finds himself strangely attracted to his old enemy. The love/hate relationship between the two men drives much of this story, though there is still a murder mystery to solve, and I'll leave it to you to read the story and uncover the assassin's identity. (I guessed it about two-thirds of the way through, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable.)

Rec: Lady of the Flowers

How about some porn for a Monday?

Story: Lady of the Flowers
Author: [livejournal.com profile] amy_wolf
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 746
Author's Summary: Cameca wore flowers in her hair every day after the Doctor left.
Characters/Pairings: Nine/Cameca
Warnings: Explicit Sex

Recced because: Expanded from a kinkmeme story, this is a gorgeous, tender portrait of both. It's sweet and a bit sad as Nine and Cameca find an unusual connection as they face the ends of their civilizations.

rec: routine

Well, it's been fun reccing for you all; to finish off, here's some kinky porn from the most recent series, to balance out Friday's 1964-tinged take on the same thing.

Author: cannibalcake
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 2000
Author's Summary: Ten/Donna. PWP with bondage and fluff.
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Donna
Warnings: BDSM, Explicit Sex, Swearing

Recced because: not only is it a deliciously hot piece of bondage porn for one of the hottest couples on the show, but it also does an excellent job of portraying it as part of a loving, trusting relationship and putting it in an overall context of negotiation and consent, which frankly we need more of in our bondage porn. And it's all fantastically in character.

rec: watching from the wardrobe

And yet another inadvertently matching rec:

Story: Watching from the Wardrobe
Author: yesjamie [*]
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 700
Author's Summary: Susan's curious. She watches.
Characters/Pairings: Ian/Barbara, Susan
Warnings: Explicit Sex (and, specifically, voyeurism)

Recced because: I wanted to rec something from the kink meme in my week, and this is a fabulous story, which captures the feel of the Hartnell era despite being porn, and has an interesting take on Time Lord sex in there as well.

[*] yesjamie is (apparently) a collective of kink meme anons (but for all we know it may just be one prolific one!) posting to the Teaspoon from a shared account; I'd just like to point out that they're completely unofficial - I don't know their password and I don't want to.

rec: imbalanced indiscretions

Author's Summary: Liz calls in UNIT to investigate a new professor, who turns out to be an old friend of the Doctor's.
Characters/Pairings: Third Doctor, Jo Grant, Liz Shaw, The Brigadier
Warnings: BDSM, Explicit Sex, Noncon.

Recced because: This story is completely hilarious. And yes, I realize how strange it sounds to say that a technically non-con story is hilarious, but it's true! The whole thing is a riot, it's got Liz/Jo whose very existence makes the entire world a better place to live in, and it's got the Third Doctor all tied up. I don't want to spoil the story, so I absolutely refuse to tell you who the "old friend" is, you'll just have to read it and find out for yourself. Oh, and the ending? Brilliant.

Author's Summary: The human Doctor and Rose are forced to face the inevitable in their relationship.
Characters/Pairings: The Doctor (Duplicate 10th), Rose Tyler
Warnings: Swearing, Explicit Sex

Recced because: This is a positively brilliant interpretation of what the dup!Doc and Rose's life might've ended up. There are too many sappy stories out there, I like to see a little pain and a little realism thrown in. Both are blended into this beautifully, while the characters behave believably. I love this.

Author's Summary:
‘When the Brigadier's moustache falls off mid-shag, years of trust and loyalty are undermined.’
Characters/Pairings: Brigadier/Benton, Jo Grant, Mike Yates
Warnings: Explicit sex

Recced because:
 
This story was inspired by the madness which is the kinkmeme. I think it’s nicely summed up by its original prompt: ‘When the Brigadier's moustache falls off mid-shag, years of trust and loyalty are undermined. Luckily, all is well thanks to Mike Yates, Jo Grant's mother and a tin of Spam.’
 
How can you go wrong with that???
 
This was only posted a few days ago, and I’m bumping off one of my original recs to fit it in. But rec it I must, because this is one of the funniest things I have ever read. The majority of the humour comes – not from the ridiculous situations – but from the ridiculously in-character reactions: Poor, clueless, and utterly betrayed Benton, Scarred-for-life Yates who has been wrangled into the role of unwilling relationship therapist, and dear sweet Jo who knows more than she’s letting on. And, of course, the stalwart Brig.

Author's Summary: The Story of the Year that Wasn't, from the viewpoints of almost everyone involved.
Characters/Pairings: Clive Jones, Francine Jones, Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness, Jack Harkness, Leo Jones, Lucy Saxon, Martha Jones, Owen Harper, The Doctor (10th), The Master (Simm), Tish Jones, Toshiko Sato
Warnings: It's the Year that Wasn't, and it's not fluffy. It is long - but rewarding.
Recced because: Firstly, because MeiLin has written what might be the definitive exploration of the Year That Wasn't here. Secondly, because she is a master at taking minor characters in a greater drama and seeing them as they could be, then writing them into reality. Even more important, she makes those minor characters integral to the Whoniverse she explores and the stories they inhabit. Once you meet Shae Han, you'll see what I mean.
And with that, my week of recs is over. I had a blast doing it, (although I apologize for posting rather more slowly than I should have occasionally,) and I hope you enjoyed at least some of the stories I presented. Thanks!

rec: Link

Story: Link
Author: DameRuth
Rating: adult
Word Count: 2314
Author's Summary: The story of how a certain Class II somatic/empathic linkage was forged in the first place. AU Rose/Jack/Nine OT3 -- story begins just after "Boom Town," everything having followed canon till this point.
Characters/Pairings: Ninth Doctor/Rose/Jack
Warnings: None
Recced because: It was easy for me to decide to rec DameRuth's "Bliss" series. There's very little not to love in this group of fun, well-written, creatively-imagined , sometimes emotionally gripping and sometimes hilarious AU stories set in a universe that didn't include Parting of the Ways. The difficulty was deciding which story to recommend, because they're all so uniformly good. I settled on "Link," because it marks the chronological beginning of the series and tells the story of how an unexpected turn in the Rose/Nine/Jack relationship became the foundation of the Bliss!verse. ("Link" beat out "The Shared Path" by a very small nose; if you like the first, I urge you to go and read the second.) Added bonus: Nine rockin' the long hair.

Author's summary: "At a Halloween party in a London club, Rose runs into an old boyfriend…and gets in over her head."
Characters/Pairings: Nine/Jack/Rose, Jackie Tyler
Warnings: None, unless you haven't seen S1 from "The Empty Child" on . . .

Recced because:
As some folks here might know, I'm a great fan of the Doctor/Jack/Rose OT3 (with either Nine or Ten), and this story is ( to me, anyway) a lovely example of that combination.  It's also a great "warm fuzzies" piece, as Jack and the Doctor get to be all protective of Rose, she's grateful . . . and ultimately a very good time is had by all.  ;)
