tardis_libraryTitle: The Adventure of the Hopping Vampire
Creator: David Hines (hradzka)
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 29,268 words
Creator's Summary:
SOME OF OUR MORE IMAGINATIVE READERS INFORM US that the events of the past few days -- the grisly deaths, the tragic fire, the flying carriage that caused the egregious delays on the Metropolitan and District Railway -- are attributable to the fevered pursuit of a Chinese vampire, known in its native land as a jiang shi, by the adventuress detective Madame Vastra. These readers, whose persistent letters are beginning to become tiresome, claim that this is but one of many times Madame Vastra's unravelling of a mystery has saved all of an unknowing London.
We advise these peculiar devotees that we have yet again sought an audience with Madame Vastra, who, as ever, politely declines comment on any of the wilder rumors in circulation, but wishes it known that any unusual cases requiring investigation may be brought to her attention care of this newspaper.
Characters/Pairings: Jenny/Vastra
Warnings/Notes: None
Reasons for reccing: It's a really great story about a Chinese vampire/alien that involves them figuring out what's going on and how to stop it, via a whole lot of fighting and kissing. But also some of it parallels Jenny and Vastra's story and we get an idea of what it's like to be Vastra in a human world.
