Fic rec!

Young Amelia Pond meets up with the Doctor... and Ace. There are scary woods and fairy tales and other tales of Scottish children. And yes, that is as fantastic as it sounds. Bittersweet and understated, with lovely character voices: Prime by roachpatrol

Fic: Home Field Advantage (Doctor Who Short Trips Entry: Five, Turlough)

I was stymied for months trying to come up with an entry for the Short Trips contest. Then at 9pm Monday night (the story was due at 7pm Tuesday, my time), the first scene from the story below stuck itself into my head and the rest gelled together as an idea (grabbing bits and pieces from the other ideas that had been swirling in my head basically as orbits to this as-yet-unseen one) in about 5 minutes. I spent the next day writing it all down. Below is the story after I poked at it for a few days and refined it from its rough inception.
