Rec [fic]: The Annoyances of the Future being Reliant on the Doctor's Pet by ThoughtsCascade

Title: The Annoyances of the Future being Reliant on the Doctor's Pet
Creator:

ThoughtsCascade
Rating: Not Rated
Word Count/Length/Size: 1981 words
Creator's Summary:
Missy heaved a sigh, rolling her eyes. "Time Lady. I can sense time loops. Time travel tastes different." She blinked innocently. "I could pull a Doctor and lick you to check, but really, the smell alone is enough. Would put me off my lunch, if I wasn't an unrepentant murder. Isn't much worse than blood. So. How long, and what was the inciting incident?"

Or, Missy is trapped in a time loop with one Clara Oswald, and neither are particularly pleased with this fact.
Characters/Pairings: Missy, Clara Oswald
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a really interesting time loop - much longer than you generally get when you think of the trope - which makes it fun. And it's also Missy being Missy and being annoyed with Clara, which is fun.

December Theme + Request Post

Recs of any sort may be posted at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes.

tardis_library's theme for November is now closed, and here is our new theme for December:

Sixth Doctor // Endings

"Eternal blackness. No more sunsets. No more gumblejacks. Never more a butterfly."

It's Six's turn in the spotlight! Time to rec any works featuring him or anyone and anything from that era. Or you can rec something that fits in with the theme of Endings, however you want to interpret that. Or, as ever, both!

Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 31st December 2025 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners at the end of the year for reccers who posted a rec for 6 or more of each year's themes.

When making your post, add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods can take care of any other needed tags if you prefer, but a challenge/theme tag could easily be missed.)

Request List
Anyone may also request any specific recs they'd like to see. (e.g. "Fourth Doctor fic, not on Teaspoon," "Cheerful Bill Potts artwork," "Leela vid," "recent Ten/Rose," etc.) If you are only interested in one medium (fic/vid/art etc/), don't forget to specify.

Current requests:
* Classic Who fanvids, any Doctor/TARDIS team (music, no/minimal audio quotes preferred), especially out there on tumblr/YT -

thisbluespirit
* Twelfth Doctor h/c that's not on AO3 (any pairing or gen) -

Make your requests in the comments here to be added to the list. (Anon commenting is on.) If you make a rec that fills any of these requests, please add the "other: request" tag to your entry so it can be found easily.)

Any other questions? Ask here or at the Info & Guidelines post, or PM the mod.

Look! I remembered to post before December started this year!

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means

karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
