Doctor Who and The Great Eclipse: Part 25/34

Collusion

Almost everyone decided eventually to follow Carolyn’s example and try to rest. Johns was not quite asleep when they started to trickle in. Maybe it was the being inside yet another set of walls, behind another layer of doors and sharp spikes, bathed in light even though they want to sleep, that was the attraction. Maybe it was the need to stay together. Even the Doctor settled down into his cot, the third time anyone can recall him using it ever. Riddick made like he was sleeping, but he was really standing guard, without the standing part.

It was after the high that came down, and after a week more of things falling into a pattern, and his forgetting about his vision and his being in a bad mood because he can see Rich fucking flirting with the Doctor now in front of everyone and nobody gave a shit. It pissed him off, seeing the con smile like that. What right did the killer have to be happy? And then Fry was giving him the cold shoulder as though they’d not talked and he couldn’t figure out why the hussy was so well liked that everyone else jumped to her defense anyhow…

Doctor Who and The Great Eclipse. Part One – Despair

This will be an adult, err, graphic version of the tale posted on FF.net with more violence, sexual themes, and rowdiness… well maybe not the rowdiness.

The Time War left him shattered & alone. Experiments left her shattered & open. The tools for revenge also form a web that cannot be broken. You’re not scared of the dark are you? The Ninth Doctor, River and Simon Tam, The Crew and Passengers of Hunter-Gratzner. A Dr Who – Firefly – Riddick crossover

Summary: The Doctor, reeling from the effects of the Time War as the last surviving Time Lord, stumbles into a situation he cannot ignore when the TARDIS lands him inside a ship that is clearly in trouble. His people may be gone, but the stamp he’s made on the universe is still there, and he finds himself caught in a web spun of the choices he’s made in the past…

It’s 2517. Something in the past has prompted humanity to explode out from their home world, Sol 3. Could the events of 2164 be responsible? Was Earth a myth or was it real? In fleeing Earth-that-Was, humanity scattered to the stars across the galactic arm. Initial survey teams targeted likely planets and systems for habitation and not all of them ended up on the same side of the sector. Blue Sun exists on one side, separated by a patch of ‘wild space’ filled with exotic binary and triple star systems, from the rest of civilized space. Few ships brave the route. But luck has it that one ship is. It’s a ghost run, the only contact that the two sides have. Port of Departure: Eavesdown Docks, Persephone. Mixed Sino-Anglo culture. Port of Call: Tangiers-5. Darkside. Mixed Islamic-Anglo culture. Crew complement: Four. Passengers: Forty. Living ‘Cargo’: Two.

So what happens when a passenger by the name of Dr. Simon Tam and his cargo get on the wrong ship? And just how is this related to the Time War?
