* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/581290/chapters/1043540 An Adventure With Aliens]] (1 year after movie, crossover with ''DoctorWho'') When the Albino Pirate wishes on a passing comet to be told why TheStarsAreGoingOut, he gets more than he bargained for - namely, the comet itself. It's the TARDIS, with the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble inside. Something has pulled them out of the Time Vortex, and not by accident. As it becomes apparent that there are far bigger problems around than disappearing stars, the pirates and the time travelers must work together if they hope to defeat the nefarious forces that threaten them all.

* TheStarsAreGoingOut: At the beginning, albeit very slowly. It's meant to reveal where in the ''DoctorWho'' timeline the story is set.

** In ''Napoleon,'' the incident leading to the Pirate With Gout's "execution" apparently involved [[ThePrincessBride iocane powder]].

* NoodleIncident: Why the Pirate With Gout had to be "executed." All we're told is that [[ThePrincessBride iocane powder]] was involved.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: A dark variation; the Doctor is taking Donna to a planet called [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E11TurnLeft Shan Shen...]]

* ContinuityNod: [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E8SilenceInTheLibrary The Library]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E9ForestOfTheDead and River]] are briefly mentioned, as well as [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E10Midnight Midnight]]. The story is meant to take place shortly after the latter.
