elisi | Big DW S5 Pimpin' Post.

Have been meaning to do this for weeks. A ton of spoilers within. Also, this is not *everything* that I've seen or read, just the stuff that stuck with me - the things I kept coming back to. (I'm sure I've forgotten something, but this is most of it.) Lots of vids, and a fair few fics too. :)

VIDS

Gen/Team TARDIS.
Can-Can Onze by

elderberryink. The whole first season of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, IN two minutes, TO Offenbach's Can-Can. (That's the can-can tune everyone knows.):

Watch on YouTube

Brand New Day by

humansrsuperior. New Doctor, new TARDIS, new sonic screwdriver, new companion... A fresh start, the dawn of a new day, and of a new era.

fan_eunice: The Eleventy Project. (A vid for every episode. So far only up to Hungry Earth/Cold Blood, but all of them BRILLIANT!)

Bring the Pain by

writeangel1. A tribute to the series up to 'Cold Blood'.

Stuck to You by

humansrsuperior. NEW TEAM TARDIS LOOOOOOVE. ♥

Amy & Amy and the Doctor.

Lullaby For A Stormy Night by

such_heights. Little child, be not afraid. (The Doctor and wee baby Amelia. If you only watch ONE vid, make it this one.)

Half Life by

big_n_happy. (Excellent, and rather dark, Amy vid.)

I found this via a rec on

doctoreleven, and I love it to absolute pieces. It's Eleven and Amy set to 'Fireflies' and it never fails to cheer me up. Comfort vid, that's what it is, and I love it for it. My wonderful show with its wonderful happy ending! ♥

On youtube here, and I also uploaded it here if anyone wants it to keep. 22MB, flv format (which plays beautifully on VLC).

Rory.

Change of Time by

greensilver. Rory Williams, time traveler. (Gorgeous vid. A must-see for any Rory fan!)

River & Doctor/River.
(Two big SHINY ones, and three smaller, fun ones.)

The World Is Not Enough by

big_n_nappy. The world is not enough. But it is such a perfect place to start... My Love. (The PERFECT River song. Am still flailing.)

Set My World Into Motion by

beccatoria. River Song. Totally fucking awesome. (And so's the vid. Am still flailing.)

Meet Virginia by

writeangel1. A River Song Tribute.

"Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" by

ageless_aislynn. The Doctor just has one question for River...

All I Wanted by

katoelizabeth. River/Doctor. (Oh my shippy heart...)

ETA: Knew I was forgetting something. Sadly no one has made a big, shiny meta vid for Eleven yet, so instead I shall rec you this fabulous youtube vid: Hot in Here. Naked Matt Smith FTW!!!

FIC

Stories We Tell Our Children by

calapine. Tell stories; be kind; remember. A response to The Big Bang. (If you only read ONE fic, make it this one!)

The Time I've Spent by

rheanna27. I don't wait for people, Rory. I make them wait for me. (The Doctor and Rory post-The Big Bang. So perfect I can't begin to explain it.)

The Care and Feeding of Tiny Humans (and slightly larger Time Lords) by

netgirl_y2k. The adventures of Eleven and Wee!Amelia. (So adorable even those who hate S5 love it!)

Five Things that Never Actually Happened (And One that Did) by

promethia_tenk. River Song was in an unusually talkative mood . . . (Hysterical. Follow the tags for more fic. It's all brilliant!)

Not Expecting This by

mogwai_do. (Set during The Lodger, and still cracks me up...)

The Latest One by

calapine. "Saving the world in your nightie. That’s a new one. A good one, but definitely a new one." (Or, one of those post-ep fics where they muck about in the TARDIS for a bit.) (Set post-The Beast Below.)

(OK, so here's the part where I don't make sense to myself. I mean, I can easily justify Doctor/River. That makes sense. But. I am slowly beginning to realise that I totally ship Amy/Doctor/Rory. I blame fics like these...)

Patient (PG-13) by

hoosierbitch. Rory figures the Doctor is a lot like the TARDIS. (Set post-The Big Bang. Shows how things might develop.)

In A Big Round Bed, In A Little Blue Box (15) by

jenwryn. Rory knows the freckles, on Amy's shoulders, as if they were a map to his very own home; he's growing to know the shape of the Doctor's hand, broad and gentle, just as well. (And if things *did* develop, this is how they might end up.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oooh vid recs!! I'm so behind on S5 vids, and I've been craving more (especially for inspiration for something I'm working on...) so this is perfect. Thanks for doing this!

And thank you for rec'ing my vids, bb. :) *hugs* ♥

My pleasure - on both counts! *sends many hugs back* ♥

ETA: You're working on something?? Squeeeeeeeeeeee! \o/

ETA2: Btw, have you ever thought of a Rory/Amy vid to Fairytale? Because it'd be perfect... :)

Haha, yep! :) Keep them eyes peeled. ;)

Ah thanks for the link, I'd not heard that song before. But alas, it hasn't struck my muse in the proper way, and I'm not too keen on vidding to live songs either. :( Thanks for the suggestion, though! ♥

Darn those holidays, I forget about comments...

Haha, yep! :) Keep them eyes peeled. ;)
WILL DO!

Ah thanks for the link, I'd not heard that song before.
Doubt there's a single person in Europe who can't sing along to it!

But alas, it hasn't struck my muse in the proper way, and I'm not too keen on vidding to live songs either. :(
Ah well, it was worth a try. And there's a proper recording btw, although the live performance is fun, hence the link. Also, the fairytale thing is suddenly illuminating stuff to me. :)
