Almost-Thursday recs (not Yuletide)

By the way, Chocolate Box signups are open!

Over the last month or so, I've racked up a collection of things to rec and keep not posting them, so since I'm not sleepy yet and it's still almost Thursday, I'll collect a few of those here. Also, so it doesn't get buried since I've posted a bunch of stuff lately, don't miss my Yuletide reveals post and also end-of-year fics. I post nothing for ages and then drop a bunch of fic on people, it's how I roll ...


Recs - The Expanse

Six vids! The first two, I'm fairly sure, have seasons 1-2 footage only, and the top one is not really spoilery at all. The rest are spoilery as hell for seasons 3-4.

We Built This City by [archiveofourown.org profile] himundergreen (general show vid)
Gorgeous vid about the Belters. This is actually a pretty good recruitment/non-spoiler vid, with lots of pretty space footage.

The Outsiders by [archiveofourown.org profile] violace (Roci/team vid)
A very beautiful and rewatchable vid about the Roci crew and the people around them.

Clearest Blue by [archiveofourown.org profile] runawaynun (Naomi/Drummer, Bobbie/Chrisjen)
Beautifully edited ship vid.

Closer by slouching2geneva on Youtube (Naomi/Drummer)
Very pretty ship vid.

Live as a Belter by zurich23M on Youtube (Drummer & Ashford)
Very nicely edited vid, though more dialogue-heavy than I tend to like my vids (pretty much all dialogue) but the editing is super nice.

Low Light by FireflySunrise on Youtube (Drummer & Ashford)
A bit shippier than I prefer to see them, but very pretty.



Recs - Torchwood

10 recent fics! All are season 1-2 era team, i.e. the Owen & Tosh-enabled team.

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time by [archiveofourown.org profile] Paycheckgurl (gen team)
Wonderfully funny, sweet, and in character, and very Torchwood, from the sentient tinsel and someone possibly being run over by a reindeer (or something generally reindeer-like) to the genuinely thoughtful gift exchange.

Stuck in the Hub by [archiveofourown.org profile] Itneveroccurredtomeatall (gen team)
The team is snowed in and forced to take some down time. Super cute.

in the middle by [archiveofourown.org profile] mechup (Owen/Tosh/Ianto)
This is a rarepair I really love and never, ever can find! It's not long, but I really enjoyed it.

You and me in the war of the end times by [archiveofourown.org profile] Beleriandings (gen team + Martha)
Martha meets the team in the apocalyptic reality that was created and erased in Doctor Who's Year That Never Was. Really sweet Gwen-Martha bonding and lovely team dynamics.

Imprisoned by [archiveofourown.org profile] Squtternutbosh (gen team + canon pairings)
Technically part of a season 3 rewrite with Owen & Tosh, but stands alone. Case fic in which Jack is taken over by an entity and tries to kill the team. Enjoyable fic with Owen getting a central hero role.

Lightbulb by [archiveofourown.org profile] MrSandman (gen team)
Playful, short, and fun. The team contemplates a weird alien artifact.

Two Theories for the Invisible Lift by [archiveofourown.org profile] silver_penny (gen team)
Another cute, light fic with team banter, in which the team tries to figure out how the invisible lift works.

I'll think of you each time I watch from distant skies by [archiveofourown.org profile] violetmessages (team with vaguely OT5-ish undertones)
The team finds out that Jack's species requires more physical touch than humans do, and starts going out of their way to pet him a lot. Includes an Exit Wounds fixit.

An Unexpected Hemiparasite by [archiveofourown.org profile] starfishstar (gen with canon pairings)
Team fluff with mistletoe that may or may not be a sinister alien creature.

The Door Wide Open by [archiveofourown.org profile] sherlockpond (gen with canon pairings)
Five emotional bonding moments between various character combos. Sweet teaminess.
