Whilst I never intended it, I have realised that most of my recs have been on the humorous side this week. This second last rec from me is no exception!


Story: Clash of the Titans
Author: AnneHedonia
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 1809
Author's Summary: Four geniuses who're sure they're right, all in the same room. Fandoms: Doctor Who/House/The Mentalist/Sherlock. Fair warning: this is crackier than a Roman ruin.
Characters/Pairings: Martha Jones, The Doctor (10th), Other Character(s)
Warnings: None
 
Recced because: I can't remember how I stumbled upon this little gem but I am extremely grateful that I did. It combines four separate universes into one so amazingly, I can't believe that it isn't canon. AnneHedonia manages to keep the the characters voice, attitudes and actions intact, which leads to much hilarity. Watch for the appearance of the companions/offsiders of the four main characters because that is so how this bizarre situation would go down.

For those concerned, you need not be a fan of all the other shows, such as House or the Mentalist, to get the gist of what is going on but if you have watched all four shows, you are in for a treat!

Story: Fire of Ages
Author: AceOnGallifrey
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1266
Author's Summary: Romana's last moments, as she ransoms the universe with her own life and maybe, just maybe, finds something Beyond.
Characters/Pairings: Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Rover Song, Romana III, Rose Tyler, The Doctor (8th)
Warnings: None

Recced because: This haunting yet beautiful piece of work really explores Romana and the impact her thoughts and feelings have after the time war. This fic also opens up the impact the Doctor had on Romana and how things might have turned out if she hadn't seen the universe through another lens other than the Timelord way.

I also love the Eighth doctor and Romana together. I think there should be many more fics exploring that combination in a positive light as the current canon through the BBC books shows quite a deep divide between the two.

Excerpt: Omega and the Other posited that the Fire of Ages, flowing through the veins of a Time Lord, might be a weapon of incredible power- but at the cost of the bearer's life. No one has ever before had the courage to try it, not even now at the end of all things. Except... she does. She and the Doctor.

Hello! My Name is Cally and I will be your recommender of who fics for the next week. I am fan of all eras and may try to sneak a couple of Torchwood fics in as well.

It has been a bit of a manic Monday for me so lets start with a short, light fic that put a smile on my face.

Story: Heliocentric
Author: Vilinye
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1191
Author's Summary: Sherlock doesn't care that the Earth revolves around the sun. Nor does he remember that he once travelled the stars. AU for both Doctor and Sherlock, slightly crack theory.
Characters/Pairings: Other Character(s), The Doctor (Author-Created)
Warnings: If you are drinking a hot beverage, I recommend putting it down as there is one particular line that may induce laughter spluttering. Otherwise, no standard warnings apply.

Recced because: There have been so many great Doctor Who/Sherlock crossovers recced already but I finally found one that hadn't made it through. Vilinye has captured what a young Sherlock would be like when faced with the Doctor quite to my liking. I do wish there had been more written as I love the idea of Sherlock at the academy pointing out acerbic truths to the High Council as well as how he would deal with the Master (imagine the snippy comments!). Of course, the ending is bitter-sweet but since when has Sherlock or Doctor Who ever really given a happily ever after?
