Rating: PG
Summary: Ford's first year on Earth.
Notes/Warnings: For a prompt at [livejournal.com profile] ways_back_room. I like to go with the theory that the Guide verse and the Whoniverse are one in the same, so there's a bit of overlap, here.

Title: Perfectly Safe
Fandom: H2G2
Character/s: The whole sort of general mishmash. Arthur/Fenchurch later on, and eventually Random/Mown for the crack pairing lulz.
Word Count (this chapter): 540
Rating: Whatever the film was rated. PG, was it? Something like that.
Summary: Earth has been demolished, but there are still a few kinks to be worked out.
Notes: Follows all continuities, and none of them at the same time (much like the series itself). On the whole, it ignores And Another Thing..., though that did provide a few good gags that I’ve thrown into a combine harvester and recycled into sort of flat-pack bits and pieces. Directly follows the events of Mostly Harmless.

Several passages have been shamelessly copied from a previous story I wrote (Hitchhiking, which was posted under a different name), because they sounded good and they worked in the context of this one. So, if bits seem familiar, it’s entirely possible that there’s a reason for it. Will be posting this at a rate of one chapter per week, to avoid spamming everybody. Since this follows Adams' narrative style as much as possible, I do apologise in advance for the smaller chapters.

Read all in one go on AO3

Summary/Warnings: Green, bug-eyed monsters demolish the Earth to make way for a hyperspace express route. At least, that's what the people of Earth are told.

There's a lot here that was cut out from my ending, in my many, many re-writes. I'm planning on doing a follow-up, but Nicholas' story ends here. I know there's some questionable science at the end, but hopefully, no one feels the need to cry at me when it's all over.

This was meant to be about the Daleks. I totally and completely failed at that.

I realise that I neglected to mention earlier exactly where in the Doctor Who time line this story takes place. They've already met Jack, and this is set somewhere between The Doctor Dances and Boom Town. There was something about a banana grove, and Jack shopping in London, but that was cut out when my ending changed for the umpteenth time, because even one little tiny throw-away can create huge continuity errors.

Basically, I don't know where Jack is at the moment. But he's not here, because I knew he'd spend the whole time hitting on Nicholas, and I didn't want to mess with that.

In which Arthur goes and makes an idiot of himself; something he's probably quite used to by now. Also, the Doctor tries to figure out just what the hell is going on.

As though the Heart of Gold wasn't already crowded, here come two more visitors.

Right away, the Doctor knows that something's terribly wrong, and true to his nature, he sets out to right it. Of course, to do that, he first has to figure out what's gone wrong to begin with.

I'm still not entirely sure what possessed me to start this beat of a fic. It has to be one of the most crackiest crossovers ever, and really, Nicholas Angel is the last person that needs to be travelling time and space. This was posted once before, but has been heavily edited and revised. I've taken out a lot of the text that introduces the Hitchhiker's Guide fandom, because it felt unnecessary.

SPOILERS FOR: Hot Fuzz, Mostly Harmless, Doctor Who: The Long Game, and sort of ties in with Bad Wolf, and the Parting of the Ways. The ending for this was originally a bit different, but it wound up mirroring Stolen Earth on an uncanny scale (mind you, I've been working on this fic for over a year, trying to get a lot of the science right), and I didn't like the similarities, so it's been changed.

As far as the Heart of Gold crew goes, I clearly had Martin Freeman in mind for Arthur, but the rest could go either way. Trillian is British, though. I never did fancy her as an American.

I don't think Nicholas would handle this whole mucking about in all of space and time adventuring thing quite as well as some people do. In fact, I think it would totally rock his world (no pun intended) in all the wrong ways.

At least he's making friends.

Also, I really liked the idea of an older, slightly more educated and confident Arthur. Being out in space for over a decade will make you learn at least a few things, whether you want to or not.
