Doctor Who/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

* ''Comments'': Particularly recommended is B.K. Willis's ''To Die For'' series in which, free from the burden of her canonical personality, Nyssa is reimagined as an inventive psychopath with a grudge on Adric (who keeps coming [[Back from the Dead]]). It's ''much'' better than that makes it sound.

 

* Has its own [[The 10 Doctors|Trope Page.]]

* Recommended by cg12345

* Synopsis'': A webcomic that is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Ten Doctors, many companions, and just about every enemy from the TV series that wasn't dead at the end of their arc.

* ''Comments'': What's that, you say? You want an Eight -> Nine regeneration story? That is ''completely awesome?'' Here you go, then.

 

* Recommended by Sadistic Apathy

* ''Synopsis'': Set post Journey's End in the parallel world. Shows how Human Ten adjusts to living a "normal" life with Rose.

* Recommended by cg12345

* ''Synopsis'': The Doctor and Martha observe a supernova.

** Also available in an audiobook format.

 

* ''Comments'': This fic makes heavy use of timey-wiminess, but the writing is good enough to keep it a readable and fascinating oneshot.

 

* Recommended by Mugen Kagemaru

* ''Synopsis'': Corporal Beverly Powell, a known historian, has just joined UNIT, and is joined for lunch by the Third Doctor, who is rumored to have shut himself in his laboratory after Jo Grant left him. They get into a disagreement over Lord Robert Dudley,<ref>who was almost married off to Mary, Queen of Scots, by her sister, Elizabeth I</ref> and decide to revisit the period to prove which one is right. As Beverly attempts to prove Dudley's innocence, a sinister shadow seeks the life of [[Ill Girl|Dudley's ailing wife]], Lady Amye Rosbart-Dudley.

* ''Synopsis'': ''Tegan misplaces her key. She did not have a good time losing it. The Doctor sets out to retrieve it, and, in the process, changes a young man's perception of himself, and his place in the world.''

* ''Synopsis'': In this sequel to "Doctor Who: Plastic Nightmare", the Autons invade the city of Birmingham again, and it's up to the Third, Fifth and Eleventh Doctors---along with some old friends and a few new allies---to stop them. Brings back most of the original characters from "Plastic Nightmare", and introduces some new ones---as well as several Auton variants that have to be seen (or read about) to be believed. A third story---Plastic Legacy---is in the works.

* ''Comments'':

 

* Recommended by: mortimermcmire

* ''Synopsis'': The prequel to Plastic Murder, Plastic Nightmare centers around the Fifth Doctor racing against the clock to stop the Autons from taking over Birmingham. Features well-written original characters, a pretty cool battle sequence at Swannies (an actual British shopping center) and is generally one of the better Auton-based fanfics around.

* ''Comment's'': Well written and the author seems to get all the characters' personalities and quirks down very well.

 

* Recommended by Mugen Kagemaru

* ''Synopsis'': Another crossover piece from the same man that brought us ''[[The 10 Doctors|The Ten Doctors]]''. The Sixth Doctor and Mel find themselves involved in a {{spoiler|Zygon}} plot while attending a concert with one of Mel's favorite bands: [[Jem|The Holograms]].

* ''Comments'': It's said this portrays the Sixth Doctor in the light he was meant to be shown in, but was denied by the poor scripts of his tenure.

 

* Recommended by Mugen Kagemaru

* ''Synopsis'': Two ''Doctor Who''/''[[Forever Knight]]'' crossovers in one! In 1348, at a castle in France, the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa of Traken thwarted an experiment by the Master with the assistance of a trio of vampires that happened to be spending the night in the castle. 647 years later, in Toronto, the Eighth Doctor investigates an eerily similar case, and calls on [[Forever Knight|Janette DuCharme and Nicholas Knight]], who assisted him in France that fateful evening, to help him track down the culprit. But is it really the Master who is behind these mysterious murders?

* ''Comments'': Though I have never seen ''[[Forever Knight]]'', I have to admit, Rich did a hell of a job on this, I was hooked from the first page. Not to mention the Shyamalan Twist at the end.

 

* Recommended by Dont Kill Bugs

* ''Synopsis'': The Doctor fights the [[The Slender Man Mythos|Slenderman]] after Amy catches his attention.

''Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.''

 

* Recommended by Namta

* ''Pairing'': Doctor/Romana I

* ''Comments'': Wonderful Rose voice, and everyone involves comes off better than they did in episode IMO- and I say that as a fan of the episode! Turns something heart wrenching into a witty, humorous and yet still slightly bittersweet story without missing a beat.

 

* Recommended By: StudiousJones

* ''Pairing'': As the author states - 9/Ianto (Way slow burn) Jack/Ianto, waaayhahyhay eventual 10/Ianto''

* ''Comments'': Very well written, with many bits of the show woven in through it. Well worth a read.

 

* Recommended by: Malteaser, Gemmabeta

* ''Pairing'': Amy/Rory, Jenny/Vastra (Also mentioned: Doctor/Master, and {{spoiler|Rory/Alyssa Milano. Yes, [[Charmed|that]] Alyssa Milano.}}

* ''Synopsis'': A tribute to the Russell T Davies Era. His friends and companions talk about their Doctor...

* This vid is pure joy. It perfectly shows this incarnation of the Doctor's personality : dorky, flaily, fun.
