dbskylerRandomly generated fic rec time!
A randomly generated fic rec is simply my way of spreading the fic-love around. While the Calufrax recommendations are great, there are a lot of 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: Romana II
Fic: Incident in a Parisian Cafe
Author: JJPOR
Author's summary:When deciding how to kill time during a night out adventuring in Paris, asking yourself "what would James Bond do?" is probably the wrong approach. Missing scene from City of Death (Romana/Duggan).
Characters: Romana, Duggan
Rating: Teen
Spoilers: City of Death
Length: 2220 words
Why the rec: I'm stunned that this hasn't been recced on Calufrax (yet), but it hasn't been recced on Calufrax -- and that's exactly what these randomly generated fic recs are for! It's extremely funny, it manages to make Romana/Duggan perfectly in character, and the various reactions from Romana and Duggan in their post-coital conversation are priceless. Romana's dialogue is especially wonderful, as is Duggan's response to getting unexpectedly lucky.
