'Tis indeed a crossover. Sorry about that! I worried about the anti-crossover sentiment (I tend to only read crossovers myself if they're by an author I trust AND I know the universe), but, well, I'm doing it anyway. If it helps, I intend to take pains to make the story accessible to those who are less familiar with the other source. Also, I'm not drawing from some random TV show but a work of literature that most people probably have at least a passing familiarity with (no, not Twelfth Night or anything Shakespeare. Early nineteenth century.)
The excuse I'm using to bring the worlds together is that Rose is already in the wrong universe. She knows of the people she meets from literature and is surprised to find them flesh and blood. I suppose you could see that as doing the fourth wall even more damage than a typical crossover, but in a way it's rather like when the Doctor and his companions visit famous historical people. Rose squees at meeting Charles Dickens and Queen Victoria (though with the former the Doctor was far dorkier), and Martha totally geeks out over Shakespeare. Hopefully, if you don't have a problem with, for example, The Shakespeare Code you won't have a problem with this.
There will be dancing! (only literal dancing, but hopefully still worth reading).
