Yes, yes, still working on the Briar Rose sequel, and other story ideas keep shooting out of my brain as I finish the revisions. Not sure where I stand on the whole crossover thing, but I thought I would give it a little try, at least on a drabble level. The trick is, the reader has to be a fan of both things to truly appreciate the crossover, so it's hard to make something that's necessarily going to appeal to people. As a super-nerd, I decided if I'm going to try it, I'll try it with one of my other favorite stories: Akira. If you're not familiar with the story, you probably will just say "huh?" - not sure if I should put this one up on the Teaspoon or not. Probably will, though.

The Doctor slid his motorcycle to a sideways stop outside the unfinished Olympic stadium, dragging his boot on the street to keep his balance, and then removed his goggles. There was a surging pile of screaming flesh and metal rising from the center of the stadium, surrounded by three shriveled little kids floating in midair. Neo Tokyo burned in the distance.

“Nah,” the Doctor said, putting his goggles back on and kicking the motorcycle back into gear. “This is too messed up, even for me.”

He drove back towards the TARDIS, a streak of white light on a desolate highway.
