And here's what I wrote for Crossovering 2014:
Let's Find Out
Fandoms: Doctor Who / Marvel Cinematic Universe [& Sarah Jane Adventures, Iron Man (Movies)]
Rating: G
Word Count: ~2500
Genre/Type: gen
Characters: Pepper Potts, Sarah Jane Smith, Maria Hill, Kate (Lethbridge-)Stewart
Relationships: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Sometimes, the most straightforward approach turns out to be the long way around.
Or, how Pepper and Sarah Jane meet in a fused version of Whovian and MCU continuity, with a couple of bonus Easter Eggs (because I could not resist putting in a certain bit about just who Nick Fury was looking at as a potential Avenger....).
Be it duly noted that there are a couple of stories that I considered but didn't end up writing for this exchange: specifically, the one in which Pepper had been recruited as a companion by Eight (largely because it felt to me rather too similar to the premise of Azar's excellent "Rebel Yell" series about the Doctor and NCIS' Abby Sciuto), and the one in which the Anthony Ainley version of the Master finds his way to Asgard and hooks up with Loki in an effort to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters, which of course one or another Doctor would have had to show up and foil (because while that would have been immensely entertaining, it felt like a much bigger story than I had time to draft for the challenge).
Also offered as a plot bunny, because it occurred to me along the way, this theory: Hugh Lofting's (and by extension Rex Harrison's) character Doctor John Dolittle is, in fact, a Time Lord (and very possibly a previously unknown regeneration of the Doctor himself).
