rec: "Look Down"

Story: Look Down
Author: Yamx
Rating: Adult

Author's Summary: When the Doctor and Jack are sentenced to life in prison, Rose is left all alone looking for allies on a hostile alien world.
Characters/Pairings: Nine/Jack, Rose
Warnings: Explicit Sex, Explicit Violence, Swearing

Recced because: We in fandom do like our fluff and our feel-good stories, but sometimes it's very satisfying to read something that takes on serious issues. "Look Down" does that without becoming an "issue" piece. There is plot, there is action, there is sex, there is danger, there is planning, and it all comes out all right in the end.

rec: before time there was a void... by Teacupnosaucer

Story: before time there was a void until a voice said 'I' and was "vulnerable and divine"
Author: Teacupnosaucer
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 3,519
Author's Summary: The Doctor. And then, Jack. Always Jack. Takes place after TDD.
Characters/Pairings: Ninth Doctor/Jack
Warnings: Explicit sex

Recced because: The Doctor is just the perfect balance of intense, know-it-all, and caring in this. Every piece of dialogue works to push the story forward, and the glimpses of Jack's background are haunting.  There's also a sexy Boeshane linguistics lesson.  This is a great story for reconciling the Jack from Doctor Who and the Jack from Torchwood without lessening either characterization.

Rec: "Survivor's Guilt"

Story: Survivor's Guilt
Author: amberite
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 7382
Author's Summary: An attempt at persuading the Doctor for a friendly shag turns into something far darker. Came out of a comment to the effect that the Ninth Doctor really is crazier than the Tenth; the Tenth has healed up enough to act out, while Nine is just all inward-pointed knives.
Characters/Pairings: Nine/Jack
Warnings: BDSM, explicit sex, swearing

Recced because: "Survivor's Guilt" is incredibly dark in all the right ways. It's Jack hitting on the Doctor and being let in farther than either of them bargained for. I love this story because we get to see Jack's empathy at work--his remarkable ability to read and understand people. It hurts beautifully, and at the end, the darkness isn't quite so dark anymore. (Also, it was the first time I'd ever seen anyone use Jack as a coffee filter--which amused me greatly).

Deal by Yamx

Story: Deal
Author: Yamx
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 4,265
Author's Summary: Jack has a problem, and believes he’s found an easy solution. The Doctor has a thing or two to say about that.
Characters/Pairings: Jack/9
Warnings: N/A

Recced because: I had a tough time deciding which of the stories in The "Deal" Series to rec; I enjoy all of them. I decided on this one because it's the one the series is named after.

This is the story of Jack's early days on the TARDIS, before Boom Town. Jack doesn't know how long the Doctor will allow him to stay on board, and he doesn't expect to be treated anything like Rose. This leads to a potentially dangerous decision and an agreement between Jack and the Doctor.

Yamx gets the voices just right. There are no grand or emotional declarations; just two men edging carefully around each other and into something new.

As I said, this is the namesake story of a series (it's actually the second); there are currently seven with an eighth "in progress". I'll cheat (a little) and recommend all of them.
