FIC: Doesn't Look Like A Hell Dimension

[kerravonsen]

Title: Doesn't Look Like A Hell Dimension
Universe: Buffy/Doctor Who
Characters: Buffy, Tenth Doctor
Words: 1900
Summary: If you fall through a dimensional portal, do you expect to end up in the time-travelling ship of an alien? Buffy didn't.
(AU from end of "The Gift" for Buffy, also AU from the end of "Doomsday" for Doctor Who)

This started as a series of drabbles done for the 2008 tthdrabbles Mod Birthday challenge. People suggested I expand them into a proper story, so here it is.

Aww, I liked that. Those two really do have things in common, don't they?

To coin a phrase, you did good. :)

Buffy was lucky that she didn't finish up in Torchwood's Cardiff rather than the TARDIS. :)

Yeah, I kept on getting surprised how much they do have in common. I would never have thought of the two of them in the same context if it hadn't been for the tthdrabbles thing. Which I'm sure you understand, fan of ficathons that you are.

8-) Thanks.

Buffy was lucky that she didn't finish up in Torchwood's Cardiff rather than the TARDIS.

That hadn't occurred to me, though you're right.

Oh, yeah. That's one of the reasons I like Multiverse so much. It always forces me to consider characters in relation to each other that I wouldn't have thought about much otherwise, and I always do seem to discover a surprising number of points of commonality.

I would happily read a story about Buffy in Torchwood's Cardiff. I think it would likely be funny as hell. :)

Buffy should feel right at home, since the Rift is only the Hellmouth by another name. For all the show's SF trappings, most "Torchwood" stories seem to owe more to the horror genre.
