sometimes i get carried away in the popular moffat bashing like yh fuck that guy sherlock was shite actually etc etc but then i try and list out every cool concept just in the silence of the library/forest of the dead two parter and my head literally explodes in awe like commercial space archeology? monsters made of shadow? simulation children who don't exist when you blink? a whole planet of books? a benevolent computer built from a child's mind? dr moon virus checker psychologist and literal satellite moon?!?! the perception of passing time in a simulation?? echoes of consciousness saved on communicators blinkering out into death!! the imagery of monsters who eat flesh and leave behind bone?! two shadows!!! not knowing whether the love you met in the simulation was real or a creation of the algorithm?! the tragedy of never meeting the very real man you loved in that reality 😭😭 that's not even touching on the introduction of river song and the start of a backwards love story meeting your lover for the on the day you die but he doesn't know you yet like what the actual fuck this was two episodes of television im going to be sick every one of these has kept me up at night since i was 11

List of queer books I read, loved & recommend!

(There isn't any particular order, I wrote these as I remembered them)

Master Of One - Jaida Jones & Dani Bennett (mlm, fantasy, very cool worldbuilding and magic system, funny, cool characters)

Legends & Lattes - Travis Baldree (wlw, fantasy, very soft & chill vibes)

The Priory of the Orange Tree - Samantha Shannon (wlw, high fantasy, cool worldbuilding, kinda reminds me of LOTR but with more dragons and feminism and lesbians)

Even Though I Knew The End - C.L. Polk (wlw, supernatural noir, cool 1930s detective story with angels & demons, I loved this one!)

The Love Interest - Cale Dietrich (mlm, science fiction, very cool concept)

The Darkest Part Of The Forest - Holly Black (side mlm, fantasy, cool fae lore)

The Weight Of The Stars - K. Ancrum (wlw, not quite science fiction but space stuff is involved, lovely and complex characters)

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - Benjamin Alire Sáenz (mlm, fiction, very nice in general, there is also a sequel)

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue - Mackenzi Lee (mlm, historical and vaguely fantasy, nice story but I preferred the sequel honestly)

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy - Mackenzi Lee (wlw, the sequel to the one before, more fantasy elements than the first, asexual main character!!)

Gallant - V.E. Schwab (no romance, but in the background one of the characters(?) uses they/them pronouns, very cool dark fantasy vibe)

Stranger Than Fanfiction - Chris Colfer (gay main character, trans main character, coming-of-age, nice book)

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (yes it's the Love, Simon book, mlm, fiction, pretty nice)

They Both Die At The End - Adam Silvera (mlm, sci-fi ish but mostly fiction, cool ideas, but the ending is sad! Very amazing book though, I haven't read the prequel yet)

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Taylor Jenkins Reid (wlw, bi main character, historical fiction, cool story, just a neat book in general)

This Is How You Lose The Time War - Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone (wlw, sci-fi, very cool time travel stuff!! and very beautiful, it felt like reading poetry most of the time)

One Last Stop - Casey McQuinston (wlw, background trans & pan & queer characters, sci-fi or fantasy idk, but time travel, I loooved this book, great)

The House In The Cerulean Sea - TJ Klune (mlm, fantasy, THIS BOOK oh my gosh you should read it!!, just cute and lovely and good)

Under The Whispering Door - TJ Klune (mlm, fantasy, this book is also sooo amazing, great character development and awesome relationships and stuff, it's been a while since I read it but it was so good)

And They Lived... - Steven Salvatore (nblm, fiction, about gender identity and learning to love yourself, read it a while ago but it was very nice)

I Wish You All The Best - Mason Deaver (nblm, fiction, about finding your identity and people who care about you, very cute and sweet)

The Song Of Achilles - Madeleine Miller (mlm, historical, very good in general)

Carry On - Rainbow Rowell (mlm, background wlw in the third book, fantasy, it's a trilogy, basically Harry Potter if it was gay and also better)

Silver In The Wood - Emily Tesh (mlm, fantasy, very pretty, lots of fae stuff and lovely descriptions, it has a really good sequel too)

Pretty much anything by Alice Oseman (all cute and lovely and great, though I've only read Radio Silence so far I hear only good things, Solitaire is on my to-read list)

I Kissed Shara Wheeler - Casey McQuinston (wlw, fiction, it's been a while but I liked this book)

The Falling In Love Montage - Ciara Smyth (wlw, fiction, this book was so cute and funny and deeply emotional it made me Feel way too many things, I'd definitely recommend it)

What Big Teeth - Rose Szabo (a bit of queerness all around, fantasy, werewolves and monsters, this one was pretty cool!, lots of original ideas for the world/character building)

“I found the perfect place, Yaz!” Graham walks into to console room, waving what the Doctor recognizes as a travel book from one of her libraries.

“You said you wanted to visit an alien library, well, this here’s the largest one in the universe! An entire library planet!”

The Doctor sprints over to him and rips the book from his hands. “Find somewhere else. And no libraries.”

The bite in her voice startles them.

———

An hour later the Doctor shuffles into the kitchen where Yaz, Graham and Ryan are having tea, she avoids eye contact. “I’ve changed my mind. I think.. we should go to that library.”

———

They arrive at the Library, the Doctors mood has not improved, she’s hardly said a word since.

“I’m going to drop you off at this section. I… need to be alone here.”

They all shift awkwardly and look at one another, exchanging worried glances.

“Are you alright?” Yaz asks her.

“Stay off my comm channel unless it’s an emergency.” She closes the TARDIS door and a moment later it vanishes.

———

They meet back up a few hours later.

They find the Doctor sitting in a large, wide staircase. Her eyes are red and her cheeks are damp.

“We’re here for you, you know, if you ever need to talk.” Graham says softly as they all take a seat around her.

She eventually looks over at her friends. She thinks once more of River and of Amy and of Rory. She wants a family again.

“I lost my wife here.” She suddenly wants to tell them everything.

She hears them all inhale sharply.

“… This is also the place where I first met her.”

Ryan’s hand touches her shoulder. “Wow, that’s really shit, mate.”

“Ryan!” Yaz and Graham say simultaneously.

“Was that not the right thing to say?” Ryan mumbles to Yaz.

The Doctor laughs.

She smiles at them all, and she lets the tears fall again.

Yaz leans in and wraps her arms around the Doctor, Ryan and Graham follow suit. They stay a little while longer, and talk, and cry, and they hold her more. Her family.
