The World, The Universe by Doyle (G)

Hello! I'm back for a third spin of the Van for Doctor Who. I'll be bringing a mix of new, classic, and audio-verse stories this month.

Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing/Characters: Ace McShane/Hex Schofield
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] doyle_sb4
Author Website: exit seraphim

Why this must be read: This absolutely gorgeous story goes AU after the Big Finish audio The Settling, but knowledge of that story isn't particularly required (though it gives some context). After trying holidays to get Hex to stay, and adventures where he realizes that this isn't who he wants to be, he leaves the TARDIS to go and help the world – so utterly in character. The whole story is incredibly sweet without being the tiniest bit sappy – exactly as romantic as Ace/Hex could ever be, and completely satisfying. Add in fabulous details about the TARDIS, Ace trying to pick up girls for Hex at a bar, and drunken almost-kisses, and overall it's a heart-wrenchingly perfect slice of fic for a very underrepresented character and pairing. I can't recommend it enough.

The World, The Universe
