Aria wrote Fear of the Dark. G. Doctor/Master, Donna. This is a really lovely story involving the Gallifreyan language, signs, paradox, fairytales, and fear. I love it immensely.

becky_h wrote The First Night. PG-13. Jack/TARDIS with Nine. Because this features fantastic characterizations
of both Jack and Nine. I can hear their voices so clearly in my head when I read this. Also, Jack/TARDIS.

icebluenothing wrote The Candle That Burns Brightest. PG. Rose, Mickey, Pete Tyler. Because this is kinda-sorta AU for "Parting of the Ways" in which it takes years and years before Rose becomes the Bad Wolf and goes back to save the Doctor and Jack. The plot, the characterization, the writing itself are all superb. It's dark and painful and hopeful and just stunning.

missnyah wrote The Fourth Law of Motion. PG. Rose(/Ten), Rose/TenII, Jack. It's a nonlinear story about Rose's trip back to the Doctor using the Dimension Cannon. The style is unusual and interesting, and Rose is so, so tired and determined to keep going no matter what.

nonelvis wrote Wrong Turn on the Way to Albuquerque. PG. Eleven/Amy. This is an absolutely darling take on the Doctor's perspective concerning Amy trying to seduce him. The Doctor's thought process is perfectly on key and hilarious.

professor_spork wrote Contact. PG-13. TenII/Rose. The characterization is perfection and the relationship between Rose and TenII is lovely and tender and just a little bit desperate.

Rallalon wrote Scratching the Itch. NC-17. Ten/Rose. HNNNNG. A take on the "sex pollen" cliche.
Outrageously hot UST-y builld-up that's just as delicious as the sex itself.

Non-Linear Love Story. Adult. Eight/Rose, Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose. Just like it says on the tin. Rose skips about in time visiting the Doctor in different incarnations, whenever he needs her the most and they're never quite in sync with each other. It's sweet and funny and touching and romantic and sad.

Rosa Acicularis wrote The Boy Who Killed Time (The Last Love Song Remix). PG. Ten, Martha, Rose, mentions of past Doctors and companions. The Time War has unforeseen consequences. Dark and gritty and more than a little frightening.

scifiangelwrote Memories of War. Adult. Eight/Jack, Nine/Jack, Ten/Jack. The Tenth Doctor accidentally uncovers Jack's
missing two years. They contain the Eighth Doctor and the Time War. It's a timeless love story.

_thirty2flavors wrote A Matter of Time. PG. TenII/Rose, Jackie, Pete, and Tony Tyler, alt!Donna. It's the perfect mix of humor and angst. Ten II doesn't want kids and thinks Rose will be upset because of it. The flashbacks to Ten and Donna are so sad, and real.

aviv_b wrote Ianto's Journey. Adult. Jack/Ianto. This is a sprawling AU epic starting with the Battle of Canary Wharf and going on till Ianto is a very old man. Then Jack's remembrance of him.

VIDS

calapine vidded What About Everything II. WS. The first 10 Doctors plus their companions. This is not only well edited and a great tribute to the series, the styles are a blast since this spans 1963 – 2007!

chayiana vidded Pinky and the Brain. WS. Ten/Donna. This delicious slapstick vid looks like it’s the theme song for an
entirely different TV series!

flummery vidded Handlebars. PG-13 for violence. Ten and company. This is an incredible character study of Ten. Whimsical, energetic, charming and also dark and ruthless but always mesmerizing.

hobbityone vidded Bigger on the Inside. NWS. Ten & company. Freud would have had a field day with the Doctor!

hollywoodgrrl vidded Boulevard of Broken Songs. Unrated. Ten, Rose, Martha, Donna. This is probably the best use of a mash-up ever in fanvids. Each character has one of the songs, and it is so perfectly cut together that you get an incredible sense of each of their stories. The end is heartbreaking.

humansrsuperior vidded Stuck to You. WS. Eleven + Amy + Rory. Because the newest Team Tardis is so delightfully dorktastic that you can’t help but be charmed. And it’s showcased beautifully
here.

laurashapirovidded They Don't Know. WS. Ten/Rose. The vidder, Laura, used the happiest clips, crayons and a rotoscoping filter to make pure shippy magic!

such_heights vidded Lullaby For A Stormy
Night. G. Eleven and wee Amelia. Because a vid as dreamy and lyrical as the music that inspired it, I’ve enjoyed this over and over and hope that you will too.
