picnokinesis:thirteenth doctor and captain jack fic recs1. Buried in Hallowed Ground by androktasia (13k, 5 chapters, gen)summary: There’s a dangerous beast lurking at the heart of Doncaster town. And no - it’s not the Council.// this fic is an absolute joy to read, simply because it’s just so brilliantly british. Pot holes are a plot point? Investigating an old minster? It’s so good. Also, fantastically written and wonderfully funny. The Doctor, Jack and the fam’s dynamic are so great - and, of course, there’s some particularly excellent Doctor and Jack interactions.2. Old Wounds by FictionPenned (1k, 1 chapter, gen)summary: The Doctor raises her eyes to him. Ancient, sad, arresting, in-between colors, in-between thoughts, and in-between eons. Not so different from her old eyes. A thought occurs to him, but he drowns it with the remainder of his whiskey.// I love this fic so much. The way the Doctor and Jack are written is so good, really exploring that angst of the Doctor abandoning Jack for being immortal, but now struggling with the timeless child reveal. Absolutely brilliantly done - beautiful prose and perfect characterisation. This fic actually inspired how I wrote Jack in a fic of my own. 3. The Timelord and the Immortal by PicassoPickle (3k, 1 chapter, thirteen/jack)summary: She is eccentric and wild and never stops talking. She can take a box of scraps and invent the impossible. She can command the attention of an entire room and the save the world with just a bobby pin and a piece of paper. And yet, sometimes when they are alone, Jack sees a different side of her.// oh my goodness I just adore this one - I have a soft spot a mile wide for doctor/jack, and this one is just so lovely. A really good exploration of the Doctor and Jack on their own and guh, it’s so beautiful. There are multiple parts that make my heart ache so much. If you ship them, go give this fic some love!4. Say Hello by Quercusrobur (5k, 5 chapters, thirteen/jack)summary: He takes a step closer and she straightens; she is much shorter than usual, the top of her head only at his chin. Reaching out, Jack traces the chain of her earring delicately. “Well. I can work with that.”// ok so if you ship these two you should really go read this whole series because it’s SUCH an interesting look at the two of them meeting out of order. But this fic in particular is really nice to start you off - Jack being, well, Jack, and also some really neat stuff about the Doctor’s gender and how she does and doesn’t want to be treated different because of her new body. Really good!5. nothing beside remains by wreckageofstars (6k, 2 chapters, gen, wip)summary: It takes him years and years and years, but he always finds her, eventually. [Or: the Doctor makes a different choice, all those years ago on Lake Geneva, and lives with the consequences.]// ok I know I’m say the same thing about each one but this one is SO GOOD GUYS. Cyberium!Thirteen suffering and Jack finding her at the tail end of the cyberwar, you can just imagine the angst, it’s so great. And it’s by wreckageofstars so do I even need to say how well written it is? Of course I don’t. But I will anyway. It’s brilliant, and sad, and beautiful, and hilarious. And, unfortunately, not finished, but I reckon it’s still worth the read just for what’s up there already, because it’s fantastic6. again, again, again, again by krebkrebkreb (8k, 1 chapter, thirteen/jack)summary: The Doctor is, undeniably, a coward. (A character study and expansion on the events during, between, and just after The Timeless Children and Revolution of the Daleks)// this one is hot off the press because it literally posted *checks notes* yesterday, but damn it’s so good. I don’t normally go for fics that cover scenes we see in the episode but ho boy, this author just breathed such fresh life into the scenes and made them all hurt even more? The writing is absolutely beautiful and I just love how they write both Jack and Thirteen. So so good.7. This is the Way the World Ends by wedgewood (7k, 1 chapter, gen)summary: The obligatory ‘escape from Judoon prison’ fic.// the main problem with reading so much fanfic is that sometimes you remember that a fic exists that you read a while back, but for the LIFE of you, you cannot remember what it was called, who wrote it, or how to find it - you just know that you NEED to reread it. This was me with this fic for about a week until I caved and ended up scrolling through my entire ao3 history (which is a TASK, I’ll tell you). But anyway, I love this one. Excellent prison thirteen angst and some absolutely wonderful hurt/comfort. I really love the way the author depicts Jack and Thirteen’s dynamic - and how the fam reacts to it hahaha.
