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.


...But all she wanted to be was safe. Don’t step on the cracks, or the bears… That’s all she’d been trying to do, stay safe.. Don’t step on the cracks, or… Strange how running away had seemed safer than staying, if it meant staying in that house…

Wow, thanks so much for that rec! I wouldn't have started it on my own since I'm not very familiar with Eight and the Neverwhere crossover isn't advertised in the summary. Now that I've started it I'm hooked. The plotting is fantastic, and the author really evokes London Below. Alas, now I must wait to know what happens next.

Alas, so must I!

I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far. I can never understand why such brilliant fic has so few comments on Teaspoon. Do people only review porn?? Lol.

This piece was so good that it convinced me to go and read Gaiman's novel. Thereafter, I decided that her story was quite as good as the source inspiration. Absolutely wonderful stuff!

I'm glad you liked it as much as I did. This comm is such a great idea - good fanfic should be pimped, lol.
