Time and Entropy

by Quatermass

Homura Akemi's time loop has attracted the attention of the powerful. Spread too thin, they send an operative with experience of the Incubators and their methods: Moni, one of the last of a species who was wiped out by the Incubators' malice, and who is running from a dark past of his own. Can Homura and Moni work together to stop not only the Incubators, but other threats?

1. Foreword

FOREWORD

I am, first and foremost, a Doctor Who fan. But I have interests outside this fandom. And one of my interests of recent years is the dark and thoughtful magical girl anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica. But when I looked at the fanfics on , I found myself disappointed, for one of the key concepts in the series Puella Magi Madoka Magica was also a key concept in one particular Doctor Who story.

I am speaking, of course, about Logopolis.

For fans of the new series who are yet to dip a toe into the classic series, and for fans of Puella Magi Madoka Magica who are nonetheless curious about this connection, I suggest you look it up. Be warned, though. It may spoil you to one of the most epic departure stories for a Doctor. The latter will doubtless know why I made the connection between Logopolis and Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

In any case, the possible connection was too great a draw for me as an author, and while in many regards this is a Peggy Sue, trying to fix things, it is also an intriguing look not only into the true nature of the Magical Girls and their abilities, but also of Kyubey and its kind, as well as those who may oppose them.

Before we embark, some things I should point out. Although this is a crossover with Doctor Who, this is still primarily a Puella Magi Madoka Magica story, and the elements from the Whoniverse won't become clearer until later. The Doctor won't be involved initially, at least not until later in the story. As for a setting, Who fans would like to know that this is set later on in the Eighth Doctor's life, between the first two Dark Eyes audio drama anthologies.

Secondly, I will be making annotations as I go.

Thirdly, this was one of my first fanfics. It may be a bit rough at first.

Fifthly, here be spoilers for Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Doctor Who. You have been warned.
