rec: mind the gap

Story: Mind The Gap (WIP)
Author: moonmonkey
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 27056
Author's Summary: Londoners. They'd have you believe that their city is the one true beating heart of the entire world - of the universe, even. And they'd be right.
Characters/Pairings: Anji Kapoor, Fitz Kreiner, Romana (author created), The Doctor (8th)
Warnings: Explicit Violence, Swearing

Recced because: Crossovers are often between uncomplimentary fandoms, but the steam-punk gothic feel of the middle of the EDA series melds seamlessly with Neverwhere. This is a great concept written by someone who clearly has a feel for the characters and has perfected haunting menace to a fine art. It is a WIP, but it is regularly updated with decently lengthy chapters ... and let's face it, good fanfic is worth waiting for.

Author's Summary: Sometimes, Ian just doesn't think...
Characters/Pairings: Ian, Barbara
Warnings: None

Recced because: It's quite amusing, but there's a serious look in there about what Ian might have got up to during the time they spent in the Roman villa. Ian and Barbara are actually quite sweet in this, even though it's not something immediately obvious from the way they talk to each other.
