Miscellany

1. Just got caught up with s3 of New Doctor Who and while I wouldn't say I'm completely sold on it yet, it does have a lot of great things about it (RTD's scripts not always being one of them, but...) So if anyone has any fic or similar stuff that I just *have* to read, I'd appreciate a rec! (Also, I need a dalek icon. Daleks > Everything Else In The Universe Ever.)

ETA: Thanks stormwreath for the icon!

2. A couple of Buffyverse recs, since I don't rec nearly enough stuff:

• Of All the Wonders That I Yet Have Heard by girlpire (Angel/Darla, R). Fantastic take on what might have happened post-"Lullaby."
  
• frogfarm finished Big Country (Faith/Willow, R). Post-"Chosen" (slightly AU, see pairing), but the past just never lets Faith go...
  
• I'll Have What She's Having by spuffyduds is a Twin Peaks crossover! (Faith/Audrey, PG13). (And I do have my own take on the pairing, which will be appearing shortly.
  
• Come Into My Parlor by bookishwench (Tara/?, PG13). Excellent pre-canon look at Tara (as is frogfarm's One Summer, My Far Horizon, though that one heads off-canon into very believable Faith/Tara).
  
• And finally, Buffybot's Big Adventure! by Alex Wert sees the return to the Buffyverse of one of my favourite humour ficcers. This is a WIP taking place post-"Bargaining", but so far he always finishes his stories and they usually end up hilarious. (Buffybot/Various, R)
  
• Also, I put some recs up at buffyversetop5: Faith/Buffy, list-type fics, drabbles, episode rewrites, season 8.

3. Finally, a couple of icons I've made on a whim and never posted here.

I haven't seen "Time Crash" yet, I'll have to get around to that. Generally speaking I'm not too hung up on plot either, but since I watched all of s2 and s3 pretty much in two weeks, I suppose the similarities started getting to me.

Moffat seems pretty damn sharp, yes. "The Girl In The Fireplace" and "Blink" were both great.
