allfireburnsI would really like to stop getting randomly exhausted when I'm doing nothing at all. Or even better, having my heart rate jump to way too fast and refuse to slow down when I'm doing nothing at all. Both of these things make getting absolutely anything done very difficult. And there are things I would like to be doing! A lot of things! Gah.
Whatever. I'm going to go take a nap for an hour and hope that makes things better somehow.
Here, have some fic recs before I go.
Ulysses - Human Nature/Family of Blood AU. There is nothing about this fic I don't love. The writing is gorgeous, and all of the characters are just so much love. The Doctor is brilliant and unsettling all at once, and JOHN SMITH is love, and Martha broke my heart even though she doesn't once appear on screen, so to speak. "All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades forever and forever when I move." I love this author. I really, really do, and it makes me sad she only has two DW fics (the other being a story with the Third Doctor and Sydney Bristow that I so badly want to be canon for both of them).
And speaking of authors I love?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

damageverse. Go. Watch that community. Here is the index of fic, which you'll probably need. It's an epic multifandom crossover centering around Sam Tyler and Jack Harkness, goes AU from S1 of Torchwood and S3 of Doctor Who and somewhere in the middle of Life on Mars, and it is because of this fic that I have to constantly remind myself that no, Sam Tyler does not belong to Torchwood canon. Still in the process of being progress (as various bits of it are not actually written yet), but go flail at magi for that.
The writing's amazing, but the best part is magi's knack for character. The characters don't just ring true to canon, they are better than canon. (It is also because of this fic that I find myself staring at canon!Jack on occasion and going "WHY ARE YOU DUMB? ...Oh, right.") Seriously. Go read. Though as a warning, and so you can't say you didn't warn you, this story will fuck with your conception of canon so hard. I constantly forget that Damaged People canon is not actual Doctor Who/Torchwood canon, these days. But don't let that stop you. It's worth it.
