🥏 TXF Fic Rec #15: "Strangers and the Strange Dead" by Kipler
Today’s fic is a must-read classic, an extraordinary piece that is so original, unique, intelligent, and brilliantly executed that it lingers in your memory. It makes great use of a third-party narrator and creates this eerie, atmospheric small town where mysterious strangers suddenly reappear. It begins with one of the best opening lines I’ve ever read in fanfics and ends with a dynamite twist that will make you gasp. So good.
(*It was written midway through the original run of Season 7 before ‘Requiem’ so everything happens after that point in canon should be disregarded.)

He's a bounty hunter. He's into DnD. He somehow doesn't know about cosplay or how to improv despite this. He CAN dance. He fell for the Doctor so hard the only coherent thought in his head under stress was proposing to them. Within the hour he'd kissed them, sacrificed himself, and said "find me" after making them catch a goddamn marriage bouquet. He's a nerd. He's socially awkward. He listens to Kylie Minogue. He's a sweetheart. He's a Killer. He's engaged to the Doctor. He is the moment. He is the Rogue.

I am simultaneously deliriously in love with the ending of Loki season 2 and absolutely loathe it
On one hand…Shakespearean tragedy at its finest, essentially circling back to Loki’s original Thor 2011 character arc by reversing it, and Loki has literally ascended to godhood. In the end, Loki’s ultimate selfless sacrifice was to sit upon the highest throne in the multiverse, and that to me is tragically ironically beautiful
On the other hand…Loki being alone makes me want to burn Marvel studios to the ground and do other unspeakable things
Best and worst ending of all time f u Eric Martin

🥏 TXF Fic Rec #16: "The After" by lepus arcticus
Today’s ficlet offers a very cool and original spin on Scully’s immortality. It manages to paint vivid imagery, build a world, and leave you wide-eyed, all in fewer than 500 words. It can be read in under a minute, so treat yourself and dig in right now! :)

Cannot emphasise how OBSESSED i am with the Doctor being able to hear the show's backing music. Does he have favourites? Does he ever miss the funky classic who tunes?
Its giving Day of the Doctor novelisation, where the Doctor's vision changed when the show's colour grading did.
I love whenever they make allusions to the 4th wall or skirt near it. 1st Doctor talking to the people at home. 4th Doctor's laugh at the camera. 12th Doctor's monologues and playing of the Theme tune. Its all so wonderful.
But to put it in the forefront. To literally have him say " I Thought that was non-diegetic " (music not actually present in the world and only for the audience) to have him WINK at us.
Obsessed is too weak a word for what I'm feeling right now. I love them
