Two Doctor Who fic recs

[ghost2]

Here are a couple of recent stories that I liked a lot.

A List of the Lost, by aralias (3700 words, G)
Summary: The fifth Doctor has a multitude of companions, but is rarely alone with any of them. Here we have five times he was, each time after losing someone else.

Automatic bonus for being a Fifth Doctor story! Also, this fic has nice characterization of Peri, Turlough, Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan. Probably my favorite part is the one with Nyssa, but each section is very good.



Only Biography, by sahiya (5400 words, All Ages)
Summary: Biographies were the Doctor's favorite literary form. (Crossover with Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosiverse)

Here's a crossover that works really well. I liked the way the Tenth Doctor decided to collect a new companion and how he set about doing so. This story is part of a series. I haven't yet read the rest, but I want to.

They're kind of awesome. Especially because Miles's superpower is his ability to bullshit his way through anything and because Cordelia is just made of all kinds of win. Definitely worth a read-through, but I guess I don't have to tell you that. :D
