Doctor Who Recs from Previous Journal for Reference (part 1)


Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairing: All Doctors/Donna
Length: Short Story
Spoilers: None
What I Love about This: This is a completely inspired piece of crack!fic in which Donna is forced to marry all ten Doctors. The most beautiful thing about it is how totally in character she is the whole time. There's not a lot more to say really. Read it and laugh.

The Ten Weddings of Donna Noble




Fandom: Doctor Who, Iris Wildthyme
Characters/Pairing: Iris Wildthyme
Length: Short Story
Spoilers: Planet of the Dead, Verdigris
Rating: U
What I love about this: Iris is... unique, I suppose. She loves the Doctor so much she steals his adventures and retells them so they star herself. She travels through time and space in a double-decker bus that is smaller on the inside than on the outside. She might be a Time Lord. She might not. The story changes with each retelling. This short story is told from the point of view of her bus as Iris attempts to drive it, through London, to Putney Common. It is full of humour, vivid turns of phrase and is imbued with the sensation you get in all the best Iris stories, that it's not clear how much you should take at face value and how much is just another tall tale.

Origin Stories



Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairing: Donna mostly, but also Donna/Romana and Donna/Jack
Length: Short Story
Genre: Crack
Rating: PG
What I love about this: The Doctor dies and passes on his legacy to Donna, together with a book of instructions, which she reads but doesn't entirely follow, in a distinctly Donna-ish fashion. Crack follows which is almost always good...

Passing the Torch



Fandom: Doctor Who, Discworld
Characters: Daleks, Vimes, Ridcully, Rincewind, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Death.
Genre: Crack!fic
What I love about this: The Daleks attempt to invade the Discworld. I'm not sure I really need to say any more...
The Dalek Invasion of Discworld



Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Ships: Donna
Length: Flashfic
Genre: Fixit
Rating: G
What I love about this: Unsurprisingly there were an awful lot of fixits written at the end of NuWho season 5. This is one of my favourites and all the better for being short. It knows it's Who lore as well.

Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Donna, Ten, Compassion, Fitz and others
Length: Several Short Stories





What I love about this: This is a set of short Doctor Who stories all based on random prompts from iTunes. I'm particularly reccing Memories like Pressed Flowers a lovely melancholic piece with the Doctor and Donna set just after Forest of the Dead and Just as Fast as we Can in which Compassion sort of kidnaps Fitz, but they are all good.
