dbskylerBeen a while since I've done one of these . . .
A randomly generated fic rec is simply my way of spreading the fic-love around. While the calufrax recommendations are great, there are too many stories that go unnoticed. This is my attempt to rectify that a little. To mix things up, and to keep myself from getting into a recommendation rut, I go to the Doctor Who Random Pairing Generator, here, then choose a fanfic story to recommend that is related to one or both of the characters that come up. If I can't think of a good story to recommend based on the first pairing of characters, I click again to get a new pairing. My only rule is I will not recommend a story that has already been recommended on calufrax, since that defeats the purpose of spreading recommendations around.
Randomly generated character: The Fourth Doctor
Fic: Missed Connections
Author: orbythesea
Author's summary: Sarah Jane's like a butterfly, always on the go. Lavinia and Four.
Characters: The Fourth Doctor, Lavinia Smith
Rating: All ages
Spoilers: None, really.
Length: 502 words
Why the rec: Sad in its implications but sweet in its execution, this story explores the possibility that Four did go back for Sarah, but simply kept missing her. Wonderfully, he keeps getting Aunt Lavinia instead.
