I don't generally do fanfic recommendations, but this one is just too brilliant.
A Doctor Who/ Discworld crossover. Jack and Death's friendship through time. Alternately funny, clever, brilliant, witty, and heartbreaking. Also, DEATH, guys. DEATH. Who is totally the best Discworld character EVAR and I have a lot of love for some other Discworld characters so that is really saying something.
Death and the Definitely-Not-A-Maiden by
odsbodkins
Two of the best parts
The first time Jack died, he had enough time to look round confusedly, see the figure in black and go “Wha-” before he was gasping back to life.
The second time he got as far as “Who ar-”.
The third time he was rather more badly minced by the experience, and got out a whole “Look buddy, you'd better have a pretty good explanation for-”.

Jack had been chasing after the alien, jumped a bannister, started running down the stairs – then tripped on his coat, fell down the flight and broke his neck at the bottom.
THE LONG COAT IS RATHER IMPRACTICAL.
OMG OMG OMG. MERLIN CRACK, GUYS. MERLIN CRACK, I HAVE FOUND IT AND IT IS EPICLY HILARIOUS. Come on, it has Merlin using COUGHING as a metaphor for doing MAGIC. Also being pervy and very aware of things! And Arthur being jealous and adorable and emotionally messed up!
geoffrey of monmouth was a liar, but that's okay by

Hunith sent him to Camelot in the hopes of being something great, to be molded into a man under the tutelage of Gaius, her old friend and the physician to one of the most mighty and terrible households in the world.
Merlin went to Camelot and developed a constant cold.
He doesn't think that's what she had in mind. Especially when coughing can result in one's head being off.
GO GUYS. READ THEM BOTH. READ THE EPICNESS!
