Title: The Boat Race
Author: roku kyu
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary: The Eighth Doctor and Sam end up in an argument when Sam fails to show up for an outing. From Sam's point of view, it's a small oversight; to the Doctor, her forgetfulness holds a deeper meaning. This story is an excellent exploration of the Doctor's connection to his travelling companions.

Title: Night Out
Author: Empress of the Eclipse
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary: Adric is a character who is often poorly utilized in fanfic, so it's a refreshing change to find a story that portrays him fairly. In this Adric-centric piece, the Fifth Doctor gets drunk, and his companions have to deal with him. The responsibility ends up resting mainly on Adric. It's mild Five/Adric, nothing graphic, and could probably fit under a PG rating instead of the PG-13 given.

Title: The Secret Life of Scientists
Author: julad
Rating: R
Length: Long
Brief summary: Julad's given us some excellent S1 setting in fic, coupled with a gorgeous conceit of Zelenka gifting McKay with time. It's sweet but still hollow with the regretful reality of living in Atlantis, and it stands out very well against the background cast and scenery she's created.

Prompt: 2: AU
Title: A Supermarket in California
Author: taffetablue
Rating: R
Length: Long
Brief summary: The secret to a good AU is that it shows you something about the characters you didn't already know. This fic takes the lackadaisical side of John and pushes it to the forefront, creating a John who's at peace, and it's beautiful. Both Rodney and John are very well drawn and they're different, better, easier than we see on the show. It's a great twist on the characters we love.
