"Do You Wanna Date My Avatar" by paperclipbitch (PG)
I fell headfirst into Doctor Who last summer and am psyched to be at the wheel (console?) for this month. Get ready for lots of recently-written Pond!feels, with a smattering of RTD-era angst mixed in. But let's start with the frothy goodness that only light crack can bring...allons-y!

Why this must be read: You know how sometimes you'll see a rec that says "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVAR!!!1!!1!" and you sort of roll your eyes? Well, check your skepticism at the door, because this gem is quite possibly actually the best thing ever. It's a coffee shop AU wherein Oswin Oswald (AotD version) hangs out with Sally and Larry (from "Blink"), totally ships RPF Amy/Rory, and fangirls hard about the Avengers, the "Phonebox Angels," and Wincest vs. Destiel.
Like I said, pretty much the best thing ever.
Sally and Amy come in within minutes of each other; Amy claims her cup of tea from Oswin and waltzes over to Rory in a skirt so short Oswin nearly scalds herself making Sally’s drink, attention well and truly caught by the sheer expanse of thigh. Sally follows her gaze and then straightens up.
“Is that Redhead and The Boy?” she asks.
“Maybe,” Oswin allows, grabbing the powdered cinnamon.
“You are aware that you’re probably invading their privacy, don’t you?” Sally says cheerfully, winding wet waves of hair around her fingers.
“I didn’t set up that tumblr account I was thinking about making,” Oswin replies, which is usually what she says in situations like this, and it never sounds less incriminating. Like, never.
“I suppose that gets you brownie points,” Sally agrees, taking her chai latte from Oswin and wrapping her hands around it. “Ooh, that’s lovely, thanks.”
“I can’t help it if they’re adorable,” Oswin points out on a shrug, looking away from where Amy and Rory have their heads bent together over mugs, easy with intimacy in a way she can’t ever imagine herself being.
Sally shifts to look as soon as she can without being conspicuous, while Oswin goes to clear a table of plates.
“Okay,” Sally admits when Oswin gets back to the counter, “they are very lovely and so forth.”
“OTP,” Oswin sighs.
Sally smiles, but with something a little exasperated in it. “You have no idea how much time I have to spend googling stuff to be able to talk to you and Larry, you know.”
“It’s expanding your cultural horizons,” Oswin says virtuously, then looks up to find the bloke in the corner with three different iPads apparently wants a refill on that very cheap filter coffee he’s drinking. She rolls her eyes, and adds: “BRB. AFK.”
Sally’s laughter follows behind her.
