Title: The Time Machine TARDIS
Author:tenaciouserr
Fandoms: Doctor Who/Warehouse 13 crossover
Characters/Pairings: Doctor/River, HG Wells(/Myka Bering), + Warehouse ensemble
Rating:PG
Spoilers: None specific, but up to all canon. I imagine this in a perfect AU for Warehouse (HG is revived, joins the warehouse,) and set at a time period where both River and the Doctor know why she’s in Stormcage but you could read it without that knowledge, I think.
Summary: River picks up H.G. to prove the Doctor wrong, and mayhem ensues. River and H.G. get stranded in the TARDIS and must repair it as The Doctor tries to help from Warehouse 13.
Snippet:
“River?!”
“We’re in a temporal storm,” River yells back. It’s a guess, but her authority is what Helena needs right now. “The only thing to do is wait it out.”
“And I thought the Warehouse was the most fun one could have!” she yells. She grins, her hair has long since come out of its perfectly put-together bun. River grins back.
“I am glad to have you back, Helena!”
“And the Doctor?”
River shakes her head. “I’m sure he’s making new friends. Or enemies. We’ll get him as soon as we can. Hold on!”
River clasps Helena’s hand in her own and holds on as they continue to shake and shift. She’s only been in one other temporal storm, but it wasn’t pretty. Helena smirks. “Are you sure you didn’t just want me alone?” she yells out over the noise.
“Please Helena, you know me. Since when am I subtle?”
“You consider this subtle?” Helena waves her free hand around to highlight the absolute chaos of the TARDIS. As she does they finally stop with a hard jerk, and the lights go out.
“Stay here,” River tells Helena as she helps the other woman to her feet in the darkness. River knows the way to the door even in complete blackness. She opens the door slowly, carefully, makes sure she isn’t about to kill them by blasting them out into space or a hostile culture. When she opens the door, there’s only sand for miles around them.
Helena leans against the door and stares out at the sand. She doesn’t look even slightly fazed.
River says, “Let’s get to repairing, shall we?”
