Doctor Who Fic Recs
Jun. 12th, 2011 09:29 pmI fell face-first back into work after MediaWest, so I haven't read much fic recently. Fortunately, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brate7 showered me with podfic. I've been listening while running errands, and have some new favorites:
All the King's Horses by RobinC. Podfic'd here "A star empire is menaced by deadly creatures from the time of Rassilon. Will one lone Time Lord and a human companion be enough to defeat them?" A delightfully long Tenth Doctor story. Taking place shortly after Planet of the Ood, Robin takes advantage of the events of that episode to give Ten a little Year-That-Never-Was/Time War PTSD. With the Ten/Donna friendship firmly established, Donna is in place to give some well-needed and wonderfully in-character comfort. Extra kudos for the intricate, plot-supporting world-building, including two nicely done OCs.
How the Winds Are Laughing by Kathryn Andersen. Podfic'd here. Journey's End fix-it. "Lance is dead, H. C. Clemens is dead, her place of work is closed down. Is this some kind of joke? If it is, it's not funny, and Donna is going to find the person responsible and give them a piece of her mind." Another great, in-character Donna. Would the Donna Noble we grew to know and love take having her memory wiped lying down? Hardly. Kathryn's Donna puts the pieces together on her missing time, and with a little help, fights her way back. In light of The End of Time/S5, now AU.
