Firefly – Doctor Who Crossover, Chapter One: Entry
Sunday, February 11, 2007
“A Firefly Doctor Who Crossover. Nine/Rose. When the TARDIS lands on Serenity what kind of reception do the Doctor and Rose get?”
>.> That's a bad summary. Just read it, you.
CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 4134 RATING: 8.0 (PG) SERIES: FIREFLY
Author’s (Mini-essay) Note: Setting in Firefly: After “Arial”. Setting in Doctor Who: The new season one. As long as it’s after “Rose” and before “The Empty Child”, we’re good.
Joss owns all the Firefly coolness, and much to the benefit of the franchise, BBC owns the rights to Doctor Who, not me. Shouldn’t have spoilers for after the specified setting.
Odds are this will shift about of perspective a lot (and as I’ve already written at least part of this story as I’m typing this, it does). And as we go to other perspectives, until people get names in that perspective, they’re a description. Further more, when there’s a * * *, it’s a shift in perspective, but otherwise, a blank line means a passing of time.
Ah, and a note to the (insert fandom) fans reading this…. Don’t mock me on some of my descriptions; you know, sometimes people read crossovers from one pure fandom, so my funny explanations are cheating towards the (other fandom) fans here. And a note to both fandoms: This may seem a bit odd to you, ‘cause there are explanations of some basic concepts, but little explanation for others. And a note for people from neither fandom: why are you reading this? It’s a combination of two complex universes. Unless you understand at least the basis of both, you’re hopelessly lost to me.
And… read, review, and criticize all you like. I’m not sure the changes will be made… ‘cause I’ve at least.5 chapters already written when I’m writing this bit, and, you know, I don’t always note when I’m being stupid.

Serenity : Perspective: Zoe
An unfamiliar wheezing, grinding sound echoes throughout an otherwise quiet Serenity . It’s the middle of the night, at least for the crew, and everyone’s asleep. Tonight, however, Zoe’s not big on deep sleep, and she looks at her husband, makes sure he’s still sound asleep before she gets out of bed. She grabs her Mare’s Leg and puts on a shirt, her vest, pants, but not shoes; shoes made noise on deck grills, and she’d done worse to her feet in the war. As soon
But I do have one quibble though. The Ninth Doctor's leather jacket is black, full stop. Not an obscenely dark shade of brown, but black:(
Other than that? Great stuff, Fizzix:D
BEB
I think it's great, and I want more
Onto the story! I thought this was a refreshing, fun read. The character voices were bang on, and I could imagine Eccleston's cheery face throughout this chapter.
Having the TARDIS materialise in the cargo bay was a cool moment.
There were a lot of nice touches in this. I liked the part about Zoe's feet: "shoes made noise on deck grills, and she’d done worse to her feet in the war." It's a great line.
I also liked the part where Mal says: “Why today? On our way to a perfectly good job, an’ then this happens. Strange folk on my boat… what’d I do for this? Next thing you know we’ll be hailed by the high and mighty Alliance,” he said, taking Jayne down to the infirmary to stand as guard for the aforementioned ‘strange folk’.
My favourite Time Lord line had to be this: “Do you want your questions answered, then, Rose?” The Doctor was enjoying mocking her, here. “In order: I rightly don’t know, yes, I was, and yes, it was pointless. But funny.” He chuckled, but stopped to grimace. “They aren’t kind people here, are they? Seems my memory the reception was a bit fuzzy. All I remember was getting hit out of nowhere.” Great line! It was very true to character.
I'm really interested to see how this story will progress. You've written a good opening chapter.
Great work Fizz. Roll on the next chapter!
- Cos.
And... BEB, I've read one too many fanfic. Actually, I think it was HonorH's Seed Pearls that did that to me. *sigh* Lemme check. If so, I may append... or fix, whatever that append-thing meant, in further-ness-es. But... Cos... That's the engine room. Did I say cargo bay?
If I hit on with Nine, maybe I don't suck, and maybe I need to change my end-author-notes ... hehe....
But hooray for the non-Cos sulkage!
