Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Madam Vastra/Jenny (maidservant)
Genre: Case!fic, Minor Characters, Mystery
Length: Medium (Words: 29,268)
Admin Note: rec'd on fancake
Author's Summary:
SOME OF OUR MORE IMAGINATIVE READERS INFORM US that the events of the past few days -- the grisly deaths, the tragic fire, the flying carriage that caused the egregious delays on the Metropolitan and District Railway -- are attributable to the fevered pursuit of a Chinese vampire, known in its native land as a jiang shi, by the adventuress detective Madame Vastra. These readers, whose persistent letters are beginning to become tiresome, claim that this is but one of many times Madame Vastra's unravelling of a mystery has saved all of an unknowing London.
We advise these peculiar devotees that we have yet again sought an audience with Madame Vastra, who, as ever, politely declines comment on any of the wilder rumors in circulation, but wishes it known that any unusual cases requiring investigation may be brought to her attention care of this newspaper.
Review:
The doctor does not appear in this fic. It does, however, contain such Doctor Who essentials as aliens, silly science, deadly battles using unlikely weapons, and lots of running. Silurian Madam Vastra and her maidservant and lover, Jenny, star in a story which is very much Sherlock Holmes (Victorian) with aliens. And its awesome!
