Story: Out of Joint
Author: HonorH
Rating: PG-13? They talk about sex...
Word Count: 44603
Author's Summary: Crossover with Joss Whedon's Firefly. A mysterious incident in the Time Vortex forces the TARDIS to set down on Serenity. Mal finds a few headaches, the Doctor finds a mystery, and River finds someone who speaks her language.
Characters/Pairings: 9, Rose, Jack, and the Crew of Serenity during the series. (So, all sorts of implied pairings.)
Warnings: None

Recced because: This is the best written Firefly/Doctor Who crossover out there. (Yes, the best in the 'Verse.) HonorH's River is just perfect, and the interactions between River and Nine are pure gold. The characterizations are excellent. Really, I could just sit here and heap praise on this fic all day. But wouldn't you rather pop over and see for yourself? Just think what could happen with our happy trio on the same ship with Mal and Co. And yes, the dinosaurs make an appearance.



“Time,” River announced to all and sundry in Serenity’s cargo bay, “is out of joint.”

“All and sundry” included most of the crew, who were admiring the new hovercraft mule, with the notable exceptions of Wash, Inara and Simon. Everyone in the bay looked up at River at least briefly. As had become routine in the case of River making strange and portentous statements, however, they quickly went back about their business.

River, for her part, didn’t seem to mind. She clambered up onto a couple of crates and sat, fixing her eyes on a spot on the opposite side of the cargo bay.

Kaylee pulled herself away from her new toy and wandered over to River. “What’s up, sweetie?” she asked.

“Storm’s coming,” said River. She pointed at the spot she was staring down. “Right there.”

“Oh.” Kaylee was at something of a loss.

Word to the word power! This fic is fantastic! You didn't even mention the wealth of LOL-inducing one-liners.

Thanks for the rec! Those two crews just went together so well when I started working with them, even better than I hoped. The dialogue practically wrote itself. I'm thinking of giving a few nitpicky things a tweak--I somehow had the idea that you descend into the TARDIS instead of going up a ramp to the main console, don't ask me why--but I'm really happy with the way it turned out and am glad to know people are enjoying it.
