Thriller by Transporter Incident. Wonderfully vidded seasonal look at ST: TOS and all its creepy moments.
[VID] People I Don't Like by colls. The song is such a great match for Mon Mothma's life as we saw it on Andor. They're such subtle battles she has to fight, and I'm so glad this vid (and the show) put a spotlight on it. The restrictions and desire to unfold just a bit come out so clearly.
Wake Up by periru3 and tafadhali. Part of their Alanis Morrisette "Jagged Little Slayer" series of vids for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this one focuses on the Troika across the seasons. A good look at their decisions and the damage done.
The Body Politic by aadler. Given his background, how did Rupert Giles become Buffy's Watcher? A conversation with Quentin Travers reveals a lot.
The Hero With Three Faces: October 21, 2025 by scarfman. Reading this talk between Dr. Who and La'An made me laugh.

highadrenalineexchange (formerly known as Heart Attack) is a phenomenal challenge where you have to write a 10k word story in just two weeks. I received a very interesting Voyager story featuring Ro Laren.

Summary:

K can remember wondering how the rest of the station was able to tell he was fresh, even though he knew the procedures, knew the network, knew the layout of the headquarters itself, and it only became obvious in hindsight. It’s in the way the rookie stares at things, the way his standing posture is too still, it’s in the strange newness of him. An earnestness.

Summary:

"Science has its limits," Dumbledore said. "As does magic. And time. And everything else there is to see and touch and hear. But it is not a matter of fate, dear, no matter what the druid mystics say." He nodded at her wand. "When you throw a handful of petals in the air, can you control exactly where they fall? And would they always fall the same way twice?"

The Legend Of Liob by Killbothtwins. "The Republic sends a combat photographer to be attached to the 212th until further notice, citing the need for a morale boost. The clones make up a fake clone, citing the absolute fact that it is very funny. Somehow, these two things save the galaxy." Of all the ways in which Palpatine and Order 66 get defeated, this was probably the most entertaining. I love how bureaucracy saves the day!

Failsafes by Luna (lunasky). Time loop stories are a favorite of mine but it's intriguing how so many writers manage to do something a little different with their stories. In this Stargate Atlantis tale, the way it's told is a part of the appeal, the choppy, somewhat disoriented nature matching what's going on in the characters' heads. But best of all is the kicker of an ending.

World Enough And Time by laiqualaurelote. "1929 is going terribly for Jack Robinson, who is about to be suspended for trying to do his job. Then a glamorous time-travelling alien crashes his ex-wife's wedding, absconds with his feelings, and whisks him out of 1929 altogether. After all, there's a whole world out there. A Doctor Who AU" Even thought I am not a Who watcher, I found this Miss Fisher tale delightful reading.

Nerds of the Earth, take note! by Betty, Emeraldwoman. Alec Hardison is kidnapped by SHIELD and gets to really test his skills. Fun Leverage/MCU crossover idea.

Sufficiently Advanced by idlestories. "Merlin is the best hacker in the galaxy, thanks to the illegal technology in his brain that lets him connect directly to computers. After taking a step back from Morgause and her ruthless brand of revolution, he’s alone and jaded, drifting through the system and targeting the rich and powerful. Arthur is the secret son of justice minister Uther Pendragon, hidden from the public eye all his life after the death of his mother at the hands of revolutionaries." Although possibly stuck with the last 2-3 chapters yet to go, this story has plenty of setup and one of the most convincing portrayals of a Merlin in a space AU that I've yet seen.

Title: Monsters
Author:

Whispersecho
Fandom: Doctor Who (classic series)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Ace McShane (and Manisha Purkayastha)
Rating: Teen and Up
Summary: There are all kinds of monsters.

Something I don't see often is the exploration of Ace and Manisha's friendship. This piece, one of those rare explorations, contrasts childhood make-believe with the real monsters of the real world.

Title: Inanimate Love
Author:

goldenrod (under the pseudonym Palgrave)
Fandom: Doctor Who (classic series)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Fifth Doctor/his hatstand
Rating: General
Summary: The doomed, tragic one-way romance between a hatstand and a Time Lord.

It's just so funny, and the fact that it's written seriously makes it even better (ie. crack treated seriously).
