Doctor Who: A Complete Retrospective by bradigan

Summary
In this ongoing retrospective, I attempt to delve into the more-than-60-year history of the Doctor Who universe and make some (probably controversial) determinations about what works for me and what doesn't. I breakdown the series serial by serial, analyzing plot elements, characterizations, story arcs, and more! If you like fandom discourse and dream in TARDIS blue, this is probably the project for you.
Most Recent Serial:
Season 5, Serial 2: The Abominable Snowmen -

Summary
Lots of us know the story of Code: Lyoko, of brave warriors facing down a threat to mankind as they know it, all to save the humanity of a certain pink-haired not-so-Artificial Intelligence. But what if there were more to the story? Follow the lives of Jeremy Belpois and company from their fortuitous beginnings all the way through to their heroic victory over the evil program XANA, and all the road blocks in between.
The story draws heavily from canon, with additions and small changes to make it more palatable for a slightly older audience. Told from the points of view of all the Lyoko Warriors. Hope you enjoy!

Still a Man: The Reincarnation of Balthamel by bradigan
Fandoms: Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan

Summary
Balthamel, now Aran'gar, struggles to come to terms with being a man's soul in a woman's body.
OR
Aran'gar has always been a rather problematic character, and I wanted to write a more accurate portrayal of what putting a male soul in a female body would look like in Jordan's world.
Rated M for themes of sex and self-harm.

Summary
We are the chosen few. One hundred of us being groomed for salvation. All we must do is follow the divine orders given to us by the superiors. Residents who prove to be uncooperative or ungrateful are cast out, forced to live as Adam and Eve did after their original sin. Sent back to the horrors of the Outside.
"You can't say that!" I hiss, my eyes narrowing. "They're God's people!"
But she continues to sew doubt. "What proof have they ever offered that they actually speak for God? That they speak for anyone?" It's a sentiment she has pushed many times before.
I frown, though the Bliss inside me is already hard at work tempering my anger. "What, so you're saying this is all some sort of lie?"
She tucks a strand of red hair back behind her ear, her eyes intent on mine. "Yes."
***Note: Religious themes and Christianity in this work have very little to do with modern-day religious practices. I simply picked Catholicism because it is how I grew up and what I am most familiar with. I do not mean to slander or insult anyone's deeply held religious beliefs.
