Why this must be read: because it is a brilliant and chilling concept that is executed stylishly. I don‘t want to give too much away but it focuses on two characters that wear red and weaves a fascinating link between the two shows. Extremely effective, gives us a intriguing perspective on the characters, and beautifully written. And just to let you know the author warns for: Heavy spoilers through S2E8 of LoM and through the end of S3 of New Who. Darkness. Now go and read it.
Excerpt
Red did, after all, go with every hair colour, every shape, and every emotion. It was attention-getting, and it served to make sure all eyes were focused on her whenever she wanted them to be. When she didn't, she simply dialled down the colour concentration. It wasn't hard, and she'd mastered the skill quite some time ago. Add into this the fact that red was seen as representative of a myriad number of things in various cultures and she felt that overall, she couldn't have made a better colour choice. Every successful entrepreneur did, after all, need a calling card. This was hers.
