I've only ever known enough about the Dr Who universe to pick up the premises and recurring characters but not the events or keep up too much with the various Companions, but you make it very easy for a non-fan to pick up the needed essentials for your crossover.

You have the flavor, the dialogue "ear" wonderfully for GO and the cosmic mix up of all of them is pure charm!

The laconic responses to things like flying cars and tea tables that expand to accommodate extra guests and apocalypses that feature "Horse Persons" like "Obesity" (Famine on a reversal?)make for delicious humor. The cream of the jest is that nobody even NOTICED the Apocalypse and getting everyone together for the tea party so we can have the pleasure of "seeing" all the characters again from the viewpoints of other characters who don't know them is great fun.

I'm so glad it made sense even without knowing half the fandoms - I have to confess I didn't really try to make it accessible in that way, as I didn't think anyone who didn't know both would read it, but it's a nice bonus that it worked!

I'm so glad the GO dialogue worked for you - it's been a while since I read the book, so I was going on memory rather a lot!

The cream of the jest is that nobody even NOTICED the Apocalypse and getting everyone together for the tea party so we can have the pleasure of "seeing" all the characters again from the viewpoints of other characters who don't know them is great fun.

The whole story came together the moment I realised it would be funnier to have the apocalypse actually happen, and just be a damp squid, rather than get fixed. And I'm so glad you liked the little tea party at the Ritz - I had fun writing Mrs Noble's reactions to them all!

This was quite lovely. Funny AND witty.
I loved everyone's voice in this - especially Donna and Crowley.
And Wilf. Oh, Wilf ♥

Thank you for sharing this little jem :)

PS: Aziraphale complaining about biscuits = WIN.

Aww, thank you! I loved writing the different characters - it's funny, I didn't like Donna at first on the show, but I grew really fond of her, and I loved writing her.
