elisi's humble abode

Cold, wet and windy, and on the way home from taking the children to school the rain turned into semi-snowy slush. Am now drying all my clothes on radiators and never wanting to step outside the door again.

Meh.

(Although my mood icon is making me smile.)

Anyway, I shall bring you fic in a little while, but it is dark... I just felt like posting.

ETA: Btw thank you muchly to kathyh for the Christmas card which came a few days ago! (I am slooooow and forgetful!) *squish*

I have no idea why I'm posting this now. It's been sat in a folder for... ages and ages. Just started thinking about it last night, and decided that I really ought to just polish it off and get it posted, even though it is about the least Christmassy thing I can possibly think of.

Title: Children of (another) Earth.
Setting: The five days of 'Children of Earth', but in a parallel universe.
Summary: What would have happened if the 456 came to Alex's world. A re-write, not a fix-it.
Rating: 15.
Word count (this chapter): 800+
Characters: Lucy, Jack, Sarah Jane, Johnson, Alice, Steven, Dekker, OC (Alex).
A/N: After CoE aired I wondered if there was a way of incorporating the events into my Alex 'verse somehow. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that it'd be impossible. Because this is what would happen... So, it's AU from canon and from my own AU. Doubly AU?

There'll be one chapter for every day, and they'll all be from different points of view, and in some cases very restricted - if you've not seen CoE you won't have a clue what's going on, since most of the action takes place 'off-screen'. No knowledge of Alex's world needed, apart from the fact that in this world the Master and Lucy had a son during The Year That Never Was, and everything went AU from then on out.

The only other thing is that it'll help if you watch this, which is the beginning of 'In The Night Garden' - a programme very popular with young children. The little blue chap in the boat is called Igglepiggle.

This can't be happening!



ETA: For a happy update, go here.
