remixthedrabble recs!

[allfireburns]

remixthedrabble is going live (Whoniverse and Jossverse fics have been posted so far), and I kind of love this challenge. I had to drop out of writing for it, because of the combination of move and Gwen's meltdown (I could have dealt with one of those, but not both in combination).

However, there are still some fantastic fics being written, including some for me. I figured I'd toss some recs at you - they're drabbles, which makes them quick reads, and I'd definitely recommend checking them out! (There are other good fics I didn't rec, and I've only read the Whoniverse fics so far, but these are my favorites.)

Doctor Who: Upside Down (The Abyss to Hope Remix)
Martha, during the YTNW. The original drabbles, Upside Down and Upside Down II by studyofrunning sort of broke my heart (and I'd definitely recommend reading those first) - this is the perfect follow up to them. I love YTNW fics, and it's so nice to find a moment of hope in the middle of an apocalypse.

Doctor Who: A Matter of Perspective (The Disorientation Remix)
Rose/Doctor. Also written for "Upside Down" (see links above), taking a rather different tack on the remixing. The last lines really sealed it for me - it's sweet and just makes me happy.

Doctor Who: Absolute Zero (The Quantum Singularity Remix
Tenth Doctor, Jack. A lovely examination of what Jack is to the Doctor (and to Time Lords in general) - it's shivery and painful and I love it.

Torchwood: Metronome (The Temporal Anomaly Mix)
Jack/Ianto, CoE Day 4. Yeah, yeah, another Day Four fic. The subject material is not stunningly original, but I liked the pacing here - it's so deliberate, you can feel the seconds ticking by.

And a couple remixes of my fics!
Torchwood: And You, My Love, Are Gone (The Promise Not to Promise Remix)
Original Fic: And You, My Love, Are Gone
Suzie/Tosh, during "Everything Changes". This is heartbreaking and chilling all at once. The Suzie voice is not the same as my usual, but it's completely believable, and the final image keeps making me wibble.

BtVS: Depth Perception (The Pursuit of Happiness Remix)
Original Fic: Misery and Happiness
Xander/Buffy, post-S7. The Buffy voice is awesome, and the fic brought a smile to my face, even though it's kind of sad. The little touches here are wonderful.

Hi this is random but I was just reading your original fic (the Tosh/Suzie one) and someone commented that they'd never thought about Tosh/Suzie before and, um, I would like to point out reason number 87987145871 the Rift ruined me for Torchwood:

I thought they were canon for the longest time. Oh, also, I missed that Suzie died and I was convinced during They Keep Killing Suzie that she was going to actually stay alive.

Pffft. I am convinced that Tosh and Suzie are canon that they just never properly confirmed. It's the only way I can make a couple scenes in TKKS make sense, and it also puts the whole Mary thing in a light that makes much more sense with Tosh's characterization, to me.

I am so very proud of having broken Torchwood canon for you. It's better this way, I promise.

I agree with you there--I just thought it was SHOWN in canon, thanks to the Rift. We went through the whole first episode and I'm sitting there going "Why haven't Tosh and Suzie kissed yet? I'M CONFUSED."

Oh, I'm not complaining about broken canon. I know for a fact that it's much better this way. <3
