Fic Rec: Can We Keep Him? (2nd Doctor, Gen)

I’m still in the process of fixing up my episode picspam posts but I wanted to make a quick post to rec a really good fanfic I just read. It’s a one-shot called Can We Keep Him? It features the Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe who end up taking in a cute little kitten onto the TARDIS. This story is so adorable, especially in how Jamie and the Doctor interact with the kitten. There are a few laughs too in how he unexpectedly becomes an asset to them in one of their adventures, and of course a bit of sadness near the end (which is tempered by a really sweet ending).

Please give it a read if you haven’t already. It’s great stuff.

This is the start of a new story in the “Isobel Saga” series, in which Isobel Watkins from The Invasion joins Two, Jamie and Zoe on the TARDIS as another companion. Very interesting series so far, I definitely recommend. Give it a read if you haven’t already. 🙂

This is the first story in a new series called The Isobel Saga (”trailer” for the new series is here). It’s an interesting concept, involving Isobel going off with the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe in the TARDIS after The Invasion. There’s only one part at the moment, but I’m really liking it so far. Definitely check it out!

It was then that Zoe saw the machine for the first time. She stifled a gasp, shocked at the sheer size of the metal monster. It raised one of its large, hammer-like arms, and swung it down onto a nearby desk, splitting the wood clean in half. Zoe gulped – she didn’t like the idea of staying in the warehouse for much longer.

unitdaemon:

“Nothing appealed to Sarah-Jane more than a good mystery; so when her editor rang up informing her that there was one to solve, she jumped at the chance. Of course, he hadn’t actually asked her to solve it – just to report on it – but for Sarah, it was the same thing.”

7th-impossible-thing:

He used his last, hoarse breath to scream for help, the cry ripping out of his throat. He raised his hands to his neck, the bottle of booze smashing as it hit the ground. Dark spots started to appear before his eyes, and he collapsed, hearing only one thing more before he faded into darkness.

“Resume work immediately. Construction must be completed by tomorrow morning!”

unitdaemon:

Void.

There was nothing there.

No colour. No sound. No lights. No air.
