Verity by whispersecho (General)
Jan. 26th, 2024 08:20 amscifirenegadeFandom Category: Doctor Who (classic series)
Pairing: Seventh Doctor/Ace McShane (feat. Bernice Summerfield)
Fic Title: Verity
Author: whispersecho
Link: Verity on Teaspoon
Rating/Warning(s): General
Genre: Adventure and Romance?
WIP?: no
Why This Must Be Read: Despite my strong opinions regarding the New Adventures range, Human Nature is one of my favourite Doctor Who. It's just missing one little thing, and that is Ace, who left a few books ago. It's a nice, somewhat short retelling. And yes, that's a Verity Lambert reference!

Why This Must Be Read:
This is my favourite Lilly/Scotty fic because it takes SO MUCH TIME for them to get together. There's such delicious pining and slow build -- Lilly is with Eddie Saccardo for much of this and Scotty watches from a distance (angst and UST, yesss) -- and the whole thing is just wonderfully in character. There's also a fantastic case woven throughout, and a little Kat Miller/Nick Vera background pairing. The author does such great justice to all of the characters, highlighting everything I love about them and about Cold Case in general.
