Disclaimer: All characters belong to BBC, and Russell T Davies. I've just taken absolute creative liberties with the Shadow/Midnight character and ran.
Warnings: Spoilers for series 4 episode Midnight. No, seriously, this thing reads like a transcript. (You have been warned)
Acknowledgements: Doctor Who S4 Ep 10 Midnight (for almost wholesale quotings) and Wikipedia for Goblin Market (titles are from the poem)
Author's Note: It's a very experimental story, one that my muse wouldn't let me alone if I didn't write it. Loose writing style, very script-based, 1st person POV of the Shadow/Entity for the whole episode. Can make for confusing reading, and was pretty much written all in one night. (You have been warned)
Split into 5 chapters because it's really too long to read in one go. Will upload chapter at a time; the later chapters may need to undergo editing.
But aside from that, reviews and constructive criticisms are most welcomed. This is my take on the entity's character and motives in the show, so differing opinions are welcomed or at least anticipated. Thank you, and enjoy.
