Pocket Watch Boy, by Mhalachai

2008-08-15

[Torchwood/Doctor Who]

Title: Pocket Watch Boy
Author: Mhalachai [info]mhalachaiswords
Summary: Ianto Jones is a very different sort of boy. (wee!Time Lord!Ianto)
Characters/Pairing: Ianto Jones/Jack Harkness, team Torchwood, the Doctor, Donna Noble
Rating: PG-13

Why?

A really good take on the Time Lord!Ianto cliché, especially the difference in point of view between Ianto and the Doctor, regarding Jack. Very good use of the Team, especially Gwen, as well as the Doctor. Donna feels a little off, but it was written before Season 4 aired.

Caveat Lector

There are a few too many references to pop culture, that don't always quite sit with British characters.

[Torchwood/Doctor Who]

Title: Left Unsaid
Author: Dune [info]seti_drd
Summary: The stories Martha Jones never told the Torchwood team
Characters: Martha Jones, Jack Harkness, the Torchwood Team
Rating: PG

Why?

Powerful stuff. Both Jack and Martha are still suffering from PTSD after the events of Last of the Timelords, and it shows in their interactions. The external POV is very interesting, too.

[Doctor Who]

Title: The Key
Author: [info]jadesfire2808
Summary: Death is not the only constant in Jack’s life.
Characters: Jack Harkness, the Doctor (Ten), Martha Jones
Rating: PG-13
Warning: moderate violence

Why?

Lovely tale, made of little snapshots of Jack's life, showing how few constants he has, and how much evolves around them.

Make sure to snoop around the comments, too, as there are related drabbles hidden in them.

Two To Make Peace, by Kathryn Andersen

2007-09-05

[Vorkosigan/Doctor Who]

Title: Two To Make Peace
Author: Kathryn Andersen [info]kerravonsen
Summary: “It takes one to make war, and two to make peace.”
Characters: Miles Vorkosigan, the Doctor
Rating: PG

Why?

Although it helps to have a general idea what Doctor Who is about, it's not necessary to be familiar with the actual show, which helped in my decision to choose to read this story.

Miles' voice was spot on, and from the little I've seen of DW, so was the Doctor's. Very enjoyable story.
