Pairing(s)/Character(s): Fifth Doctor/Nyssa (mostly platonic)
Word Count: 51K Words, 8 chapters, IT'S DONE IT'S FINALLY DONE
Summary: On a human colony where Baroque France and classical Rome are so far in Earth’s legendary past that both are mined for “wisdom of the ancients,” the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa are swept into a fantastic world of pageantry, allegory, advanced gravitational engineering, dance and court intrigue.
The Doctor believes Nyssa has found true love. Nyssa believes she has found someone who needs their help. After the Doctor leaves Nyssa to her new life, she’s forced to embrace the masquerade far more deeply than she had intended. Will the Doctor defy the Web of Time to extricate her from the jaws of history?

Summary: Nyssa is lost, probably dead. Yet the tangled skein of their timeline has one more wrinkle. When the Doctor learns that the Daleks cloned her during a previous encounter, he faces an impossible choice: save her twin, who may be just as twisted as Nyssa's father after the Master possessed him, or... exterminate all that's left of a dear friend.

Warnings: Character Death
Spoilers: Dalek Soul, Prisoners of Fate, Entropy Plague
Summary: Nyssa is dead or lost forever, but her timeline and the Doctor's keep crossing in the wrong order. Now he finds that during the years she was away from the TARDIS, she was captured and forced to work for the Daleks. Or was she? Is it really Nyssa? Or a clone with Dalek conditioning? And if so, should he try to save what's left of her?

Story: The Coronation of The High Hierophant ("Unrevealed Truths")
Author: Trakentourist @ AO3
Characters: Fifth Doctor, Nyssa
Rating: T+
Word count: 33K (5 of 9 chapters up)
Summary: The Doctor takes Nyssa to an enlightened civilisation of pageantry, advanced gravitational engineering, dance and court intrigue. There's more than meets the eye beneath this fairytale, and it turns out that Nyssa is not the Cinderella the Doctor believes her to be.

Title: Unrevealed Truths (the Coronation of the High Hierophant)
Author: [tumblr.com profile] circular-time 
Wordcount: 20K
Rating: Teen
Characters: Fifth Doctor, Nyssa of Traken
Pairings: Five/Nyssa (mostly but not-quite platonic)
Summary: The Doctor takes Nyssa to a magnificent coronation, but didn't expect it to be a reprise of Jo's wedding. Stranded in the most elegant and advanced society she's seen since she's left Traken, Nyssa must draw on her aristocratic upbringing to navigate a web of intrigue and masks. The Doctor, meanwhile, must learn what will make him turn back and defy the Web of Time.

Notes: The premise of this story is, "What happens when the Doctor thinks he's in a companion exit story, but the companion thinks they're in one of their ongoing adventures?" Also, I wanted to explore the Fifth Doctor working through stages of loss after a companion's departure, which hasn't happened on TV or Big Finish despite the fact that he's lost Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan in heartbreaking ways. Finally, I wanted to subvert fairy tale tropes (in this case Cinderella) with all the gusto of Utena. ;)

Author:[personal profile] circular_time
Rating: Explicit/Adult
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Five/Nyssa

Spoilers: Refers to the Doctor's heroic self-sacrifice in Mawdryn Undead, but you don't need to know classic Who to read this. (Takes place the night before Nyssa's final TV serial).

Summary: The Doctor and Nyssa go exploring deep in the TARDIS to clear their heads after a harrowing adventure in which both of them nearly died. Smut ensues.

...specifically, 4D smut. Haven't you ever wondered how that might work?
