Keeper's Demise,
single work
short story
science fiction
Doctor Who fan fiction.
Traces the dissolution of the Traken Union, an empire of planets all kept in a state of peace and harmony by the presence of the Keeper of Traken. The Traken Union was introduced in the 1981 Doctor Who serial 'The Keeper of Traken'. Though this story doesn't involve the Doctor himself, it takes place not long after the events of that original serial, judging from the references to the Doctor's Traken companion Nyssa, her father Tremas, and Luvic, who assumed the Keeper's position at the end of the serial.

Little Man,
single work
short story
science fiction
Doctor Who fan fiction.
A human soldier experiences a brief but terrifying war against the Sontarans, the race of warrior clones from the Doctor Who television series. Though the soldier never actually sees the Doctor himself, the latter's role in the ultimate destruction of the Sontaran vessel can be deduced from the shell-shocked speech of one of the victims of the attack: '"There was this man..." it said, trailing off as if there wasn't anything else to say.'
