Turns out my Doctor Who muse wasn't done yet with me. This is the other result of my recent months of rewatching. Could be alternatively summarized as: he loves them all. Though his methods of showing it...

If you're looking for the archive itself to browse at your own leisure, here it is. This is just a first bunch of recs, more to come!

History:

Still Climbing after Knowledge Infinite

In which young Will from Stratford hangs out with a couple of other Elizabethan playwrights, spars and flirts with Kit Marlowe, and figures out his own writing voice. Just delightful.

Todos Los Bienes Del Mundo (1598)

That Philipp II. during his brief time as Mary's husband in England got at least emotionally involved with his sister in law and future arch nemesis, Elizabeth, is a tantalizing possibility brought up now and then in biographies. (Not least because of the apocryphal story that he confessed as much.) Here is old Philipp reflecting on their youth, talking to his best enemy. Very well done, not least because it's believably from the Spanish pov.

American Gods:

The Man in the Gaberdine Suit

In which Shadow returns to America, meets gods old and new, and has a decision to make. Captures the style of the novel really well, and the (surviving) characters.

Being Human:

Passing Bells

A Nina pov, set after the third season, and a terrific character exploration of her and through her of the other characters and their situation. Bonus point for including Tom.

Deadwood:

The Outward Gift

Lovely exploration of the tender, damaged relationship between Joanie Stubbs and Calamity Jane. Awesome use of Charlie Utter as well.

Some Like It Hot:

Scenes from a floating oasis

In which, after the movie, four people on a yacht try to figure out what comes next. A charming ensemble story that showcases the ambiguities in everyone very well.

The Sarah Jane Adventures:

Queens of the Marsh

In which the inevitable happens and Rani meets the Rani as Our Heroes try to solve the latest weirdness, which involves alien frogs. It's the kind of story you can imagine on the show, and everyone is delightfully in character. Clyde's drawing talent is put to good use and Rani shows off her budding journalist skills which pleases me muchly.

Galaxy Quest

Episode Thirty Three: The Dark Reflection

In which Gwen, back in the day, gets the script for the Galaxy Quest version of the Mirrorverse episode and is awesome. I love this both for the way it is pretty realistic about tv writing (sadly not just in the 70s) and yet allows Gwen to play the game better than the sexist she's dealing with. It's funny, acerbic, and leaves you whistling. My head canon now, definitely.

5 characters you feel are most likely to read or write fanfiction. (That don't already do so in canon)


1.) Andrew Wells from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Technically we don't see him do this, so I suppose he qualifies for the "doesn't already do so in canon" condition, but much of Storyteller is basically Andrew writing Trio and Scoobies fanfiction, so. (Not to mention his later "Faith versus a Vulcan" Star Trek crossover...)

2.) Marshall from Alias. He clearly specializes in Star Wars fanfction centered around Princess Leia when it comes to writing, but reading-wise branches out to Daniel Craig era Bond fiction. His biggest claim to fame is the New Hope AU where Leia pretends to change sides and brings down the Empire by being a double agent in whom Grand Moff Tarkin developes a mostly avuncular interest, while Vader figures out he's her father a bit sooner...

3.) Grace Florrick (Alicia's daughter from The Good Wife). Started with West Wing Josh/Donna fanfiction then soured on that and is currently scribbling Laura Roslin centric BSG stories and involved in a shipper war between Laura/Bill and Laura/Lee shippers.

4.) Toshiko Sato (Torchwood). A big Blake's 7 fan and into reading and writing Avon/Cally, poor girl. And Orbit fixits, though strangely enough no PGPs.

5.) Luke Smith (The Sarah Jane Adventures). Look, he had to get his romantic education somewhere. Clyde did have the talk with him, but it was after Maria left and when they were still getting adjusted to Rani that he discovered Harry Potter fanfiction, which turned out to be addictive. Even at Oxford, he still keeps his rec page updated and going. He suspects one of the authors (a Snape/Sirius shipper, to precise) to be Mr. Smith under an alias but can't prove it. It's the fact Sirius spends most of those stories in dog form and sometimes says "affirmative" that makes Luke suspicious.
