Rarity's Book of Impossible Things

To my dearest friends in all the world,

I’m not certain that this letter will ever reach you. Even if it does, I doubt that any of you will believe a word it says. It all sounds quite impossible, but do bear with me. It is the tale of a time traveler, a monster, and the mare caught up in their struggle.

It is the tale of how I met The Doctor.

A Doctor Who Crossover, in case you were wondering.

At last, a Doctor Who crossover that I don't utterly loathe.

I will wear your lack of loathing as a badge of honor!

I was wondering what you'd have to say about this, remembering your comments on Doctor Who crossovers in the Blueblood's Ascension comments.

Well, I sure hope it was good! Rarity as a companion just clicked for some reason.

I say, good sir/madam (select appropriate), I do hope this isn't as far as you intend to take this story, as I find your take on "Doctor Whooves with (insert Mane 6 member here)" to be most refreshing, and I would be delighted to see more of it! (O).o <----Monocle

Oh, I myself would be pleased to take it further, my good man/madam! Alas, perhaps the most important part of writing is having an idea of what to write, and I have exhausted my plots for Doctor Who crossovers in this single chapter. Egad.

Of course, should inspiration strike me in the future I should like nothing more than to continue the story. Please do keep a lookout for stories starring our good Doctor and his curly-haired companion!

I thank you for the kind words and bid you a good day!

Well, like I've told others, the story will continue when there's more story to tell.

This was me

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent job on the story. I wonder where they go next? And how do the other members of the Mane 6 adapt to this?

Thank you very much.

I wonder where they go next?

Most likely the distant future, The Doctor likes to show off.

And how do the other members of the Mane 6 adapt to this?

Yeah, if I do continue this, that'll be a big, big element to the story. I think Applejack might be the most shell-shocked, and perhaps the most interesting. Eh, food for thought.

A lovely little bit of crossover, with a character you don't usually see with the Doctor. For the most part, Rarity's voice and mannerism came through clearly, and it's always neat to see her out of her element.

If I may, it seemed to take a bit of time for the voice of the piece to settle. At times it read like a letter, but then at others, the style switched to that of a novel, with dialogue and descriptions suited more for a reader than for the recipient of a letter. Then the style would switch back for a paragraph or two, leaving me wondering why we were listening to Rarity describing the Doctor telling her something, instead of hearing him describe it.

He explained to me that the Dalek was alone and isolated, and would have gone into hiding as soon as we vanished. He explained that he and I would draw the monster into a trap of his own design, one that would most certainly spell doom for the Dalek. He would draw it into middle of the deadly contraption, and I would be ready with the activation code. It would be The Doctor who landed the final blow; he insisted on that duty, and I was all too ready to let him take it

And then we're back within a couple of paragraphs to a word for word transcription of events instead of a summation. It's not a huge deal, but it just jumped out at me.

Aaaanywaaays, just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the story, Thanks for writing it down.

Also, yes, Daisychain died too soon, darn it.

Thanks for giving it a shot! It was a big experiment for me. Not only in crossovers, but in first person.

Of course you may! In fact, thank you for speaking up. It's a good critique, and one that I've done my best to take to heart. The flaw's there because of it being my first first-person story, and I didn't quite have the whole "consistent perspective" thing down yet. Rest assured, next time I write first-person, these issues won't exist. Hopefully, most likely.

Also, yes, Daisychain died too soon, darn it.

Well, yes. Sorry about that. I wrote this after watching a bunch of episodes where a random friendly person bites the dust almost immediately. I figure it was something of a Who trope, if not a Whooves trope.
