Harry and the Tuesday Girl by Amy Wolf (PG)
Hi, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
livii and I'll be reccing Doctor Who for you this month! I've got a mix of recs from the new and old series (with a fair bit of timestream crossing because I'm a sucker for that), with an emphasis on my favourite genres of gen, femslash, and rare het, but we'll end up seeing a little bit of everything because this fandom manages to produce fantastic work in all sorts of ways.
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing/Characters: Harry Sullivan/author-created Doctor; Jack, Sarah Jane
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: A Teaspoon and an Open Mind profile
Why this must be read: For my first rec, I thought I'd reach into the past, present and future at the same time - we have companions from the Fourth Doctor era, Harry Sullivan and Sarah Jane Smith, a companion from the Ninth Doctor era, Jack Harkness, as well as a post-Tenth, author-created Doctor. Who's a woman. Normally not quite my thing, this Doctor is perfectly realized, a true gem and immediately, insistently still the Doctor. Correspondingly, everyone around her is beautifully characterized as well, but none so much as our lead, Harry, who is exactly who he should be, and so much more as well. This story is about Harry, and he's wonderful, clever, still slightly clueless, a fair bit of ruthless, and clinging to happilys, if willing to forsake the ever-after. An underutilized character in both canon and fanfic, Harry is one of my favourites, and I think this will make you love him too. The story is three chapters long, just the right amount of meat and full of great continuity details and joy and deep sadness and action and humour and love, and getting each bit right. Fantastic in every way.
