Title by [archiveofourown.org profile] nostalgia

Additional tags: oldfic, Missing Scene, Post-Regeneration (Doctor Who)

My comment: "This is pretty nice. I like its gentle tone."

Quote:
"I'm having an existential crisis here," he said to the empty room, "It would help if you'd stop looking at me like I killed your best friend."
The console hummed, which he decided to take as agreement.
"And," he added, sliding under the grating with slightly less care than was wise, "it's not like you really knew him that well anyway. I know you're going to keep calling me him, because English doesn't have the right pronouns. Let alone the right tenses. Honestly, how are you supposed to get by with just past, present and future? Mind you, I've seen her text messages. U is not a word. It's a letter."

Elostirion by hennthgalad
Fandom: The Lord of the Rings
Pairing/Characters: Merry, Pippin, Gildor Inglorion
Rating: General
Words: 4364

Author's summary: Gildor Inglorion invites Merry and Pippin to ride to Elostirion with him, in the second year of the fourth age.

Quote:
He remembered the first time they had met Gildor, when only Frodo had been counted as an elf-friend, and was choked with pride. He tried desperately to think of something elvish to say, but the only words he could remember were the ones they had seen on the Doors of Moria. He laughed then. 'Mellon !' he cried, and the elves laughed.
Gildor himself slid down from his tall horse, and bowed to the two hobbits 'Mae govannen ! Ha, if you have learned only one word of our speech, you have truly learned the most important word !'

Rating: General
Words: 18389 (WIP, 19 of 24 or 25 chapters)

Additional tags: Fluff and Humor, Occasional angst, Action/Adventure

My comment: "Quite enjoying this so far [chapter 8]. I like your sense of humor and of everyone's voices."

Quote:
"Strax," Clara said, "where are the kids?"
He straightened up proudly. "They are in the backyard sharpening sticks to be used in combat training. At least if they've finished piling up the grenades I provided." He noted their frowns. "Don't worry, they're only stun grenades."
Clara turned and poked the Doctor, who was trying to back away quietly, square in the chest. "Rule!" she cried. "Sontarans are not allowed to babysit!"

Good Clean Fun by (as yet anonymous)
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing/Characters: Tenth Doctor, Donna Noble
Rating: General
Words: 1020

Author's summary: The Doctor takes Donna to visit shapeshifters. She seizes the opportunity.
Author's notes: Inspired by AU Meme: Donna Noble by [archiveofourown.org profile] lost_spook. All of these AU snippets were fantastic. This bunny just beat his siblings to the finish line.
Author's warnings: None
Additional tags: Shapeshifting, Banter

My comment: "...Wait, what? I suppose it helps that I follow lost_spook on DW and so I'm passingly familiar with the AU/weird scenario generators they use, but still. LOL. What is this fic even? The Doctor as a caretaker is a nice touch. Shades of foreshadowing, I guess?"

Quote:
It would be unfair to say that turning Donna into a soap dispenser was his greatest regret. The Doctor had a number of regrets across his 900-plus years of life, including several planets he had failed to save. But did it rank up there? Certainly.

Quote:
Rincewind screamed and ran away. Soon his scream was taken up by several other members of the faculty. Death couldn't frown, but he could sigh. Perhaps shuffleboard was too much to ask.

Donna, Immobile by [archiveofourown.org profile] pedanther
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing/Characters: Donna, Ten
Rating: General
Words: 452

Author's summary: Donna is strapped into some kind of alien thingummy, which is ticking and counting down to something (and not even in proper numbers, so not only does she not know how she's going to die, she doesn't know how long she has left). The Doctor, irritating man, is refusing to admit this is a problem. This story was written and first posted well before the season finale, so any overtones that have retroactively attached themselves to the Doctor's cheerful view of Donna's future are unintentional. (Unless you feel they improve the story, in which case, obviously, I meant to do that.) Anyone who feels inclined to nitpick the Doctor's theory is invited to remember that the real Rule One is "The Doctor talks a lot of nonsense when he's shooting his mouth off".

Just being silly. I've kind of been wanting to do a whole series of these with as many Doctors as possible, though I'm not sure appropriate source images exist in every case. I just happened to be looking at Tragical History Tour's screencap gallery for "Tooth & Claw" today and it occurred to me the 1280x720 images might almost be large enough to support a small (8 1/2 x 11) printed poster, which was the desired result as I wanted to be able to stick it to the supply cabinet behind my desk next to my printout of this:

My DW feed on DeviantArt was very happy today. Check out some of these selections by [deviantart.com profile] Abecedye: Read more... )

Hm. Apparently I have quite a taste for the Victorious and other ways of depicting Ten losing his shit mentally and/or emotionally. Wonder what that says about me.

(no, DW, when I try to tag this post "the valeyard" you should not autocomplete it with "takin' over the asylum". even if maybe there is a vague thematic link with what I just said about Ten losing his mind.)
