Title: Seven for a Secret
Author:
Fandoms: Doctor Who, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman
Pairing(s): Anything you want, if you look at it sideways. (Both het and slash are implied, but neither are confirmed, nor are they the focal point.)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Seven times the Doctor met the Endless; none of them the last.
Author's Notes: A rhyme about crows: “One for sorrow, two for joy; three for a girl, four for a boy; five for silver, six for gold; seven for a secret that’s never been told.” You probably won’t be able to understand this if you only know the Sandman fandom. If you only know the Doctor Who fandom, the only thing you need to know about Sandman is that the titles of the vignettes are the names of the distinctive secondary characters in each one; these characters are personifications of the abstract concept listed in the title. Otherwise, the story is mostly told through the Doctor’s eyes and he knows no more about the Endless than you do.
To my LJ: The garden is calm in the half-light.
