Story: The Still Point
Author: eponymous_rose
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 1369
Author's Summary: Alan sees the universe in her, the turn of the planet and possibilities stretching on into infinity.
Characters/Pairings: Alan Jackson/Sarah Jane Smith, Clyde Langer, Luke Smith, Maria Jackson
Warnings: None

Recced because: Such a lovely character piece for Alan and Sarah Jane, about the universe and their children. Sarah Jane in particular sounds exactly like she should on telly, and this is just one of those good-feeling overall stories.

Story: Reunion
Author: kerravonsen
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 1759
Author's Summary: She had expected her past to stay safely in the past, not come bounding down the hallway calling out her name. (AU)
Characters/Pairings: Ninth Doctor/Nyssa
Warnings: None

Recced because: This is an interesting AU from the Cliché-Swap Ficathon. I wouldn't have expected it to work so well, but Nine and Nyssa are both survivors, the last of their kind. Or not, as you'll find out here.

Whoop, I missed a day! Expect another this evening to make up for that.

Story: Only Biography
Author: sahiya
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 5452
Author's Summary: Biographies were the Doctor's favorite literary form. (Crossover with Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosiverse)
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor, Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan
Warnings: None

Recced because: It's an unlikely but unique way for the Doctor to meet a new companion: fitting into the blind spot of her biographer. This is a very well done crossover with the Vorkosigan saga. Cordelia's listlessness is plausible, and her dialogue quite in-character. There is a lovely attention to mood in this piece, both in the settings and the characterization. I'm looking forward to finding the time to read the other stories in this series.

Story: Perennials
Author: koshiroryuu
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 343
Author's Summary: Just an average springtime day for the Doctor and Peri.
Characters/Pairings: Six and Peri
Warnings: none

Recced because: I love entirely dialogue stories, and this one is pitch-perfect. It's a short one, from whoniverse1000, but the tone and character voices are flawless for a Six and Peri-era scene. I especially like how it plays up Peri's knowledge of botany. A fun quick read.

Story: Postcards
Author: uktechgirl
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 836
Author's Summary: Doris Lethbridge-Stewart enjoys a relaxing holiday in the Highlands. Ish.
Characters/Pairings: Doris Lethbridge-Stewart/the Brig, Harry Sullivan, implied others
Warnings: None given

Recced because: Doris gets precious little screentime, but I like to think of her something like this. Which is to say, someone caring, funny, and completely unphased by both aliens and her husband's inability to actually retire. It's short, but wonderful.

How about some porn for a Monday?

Story: Lady of the Flowers
Author: 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.

Story: Why Stop at Thirteen (When You're Having So Much Fun?)
Author: Gillian Taylor (dark_aegis) and WMR (wendymr)

Warnings: None given, very mild violence?

Recced because: Needs someone to stop him? Needs someone to smack him, perhaps! The companions step up to the task. For crack!fic vignettes, it has a lovely progression to a laugh-out-loud punchline.

Story: With Still No Master Plan

Author's Summary: The Rani's back in business, the Master's not quite dead after all, and it's all Lucy Saxon's fault.
Characters/Pairings: Rani/Lucy, the Master, Ten, Donna
Warnings: None given

Recced because: Lucy hooks up with a fobwatched Rani, the Doctor babbles a bit, and the Master boogies to the KLF. What's not to love?

Story: World Enough, And Time
Author: Aces
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 1739
Author's Summary: She would have always wanted *more*.
Characters/Pairings: Grace, Eight, Jack
Warnings: None given

Recced because: This is a wonderful character study of Grace, one of the most underrated companions. Jack's brief appearance is a lovely foil to Grace, and Aces writes all three characters skillfully and tenderly. I can't read it without getting a lump in my throat by the end.
