Lots of spoilers, sweeties, and Team TARDIS is cool

I admit that I didn't give series 5 of Doctor Who enough of a chance. After loving "The Eleventh Hour," I disliked the second to a point where I just decided to wait for the series to end and do a mass catch-up. Life got in the way, things like that happened, I got spoiled on the actions of one Amy Pond and chafed ... a lot. Then I saw "A Christmas Carol" and was reminded of why I really do love "Doctor Who." Then, right before series 6 began, I watched "Time of Angels," then "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon." I became all sorts of excited about the series again. A lot of it has to do with the amazing chemistry between the Eleventh Doctor and River Song. A good bit more are some vital changes in Amy -- enough to the point where I no longer wanted to smack her.

Here's what I've been loving about series 5 (take 2) and series 6:

As a result of the Doctor/River awesomeness, I wound up creating two one-shots while I was sick last week. The first was a trial in writing both of them, the second I absolutely love and it's pretty funny:

"Out of Order" - Set at the end of "Day of the Moon" and chocked full of spoilers
"Our Own Brand of Domesticity" - Set at an earlier point in River's life, no real spoilers. It does have a sock-eating monster.
