* FictionalDocument: ''The Adventuress of Henrietta Street'', in a way, is one, since it's supposedly a piece of nonfiction involving the Doctor. And it also [[ScrapbookStory contains]] a number of ''other'' fictional documents, which end up showing that the Doctor [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs writes like he's on something]] and Sabbath has a stenographer who, stranjly, can't spell.

The Doctor and his companion Scarlette, head of the the local brothel, solve mysteries and go on adventures. The Faction Paradox are involved, as usual.

to:

''On February 9, 1783, a funeral was held in the tunnels at the dead heart of London. It was the funeral of a warrior and a conjurer, a paladin and an oracle, the last of an ancient breed who’d once stood between the Earth and the bloodiest of its nightmares.''

Her name was Scarlette. Part courtesan, part sorceress, this is her history: the part she played in the Siege of Henrietta Street, and the sacrifice she made in the defence of her world.

In the year leading up to that funeral, something raw and primal ate its way through human society, from the streets of pre-Revolutionary Paris to the slave-states of America. Something that only the eighteenth century could have summoned, and against which the only line of defence was a bordello in Covent Garden.

And then there was Scarlette’s accomplice, the ‘elemental champion’ who stood alongside her in the final battle.

* TheManTheyCouldntHang: Juliette is an unusually young example; [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior she's only thirteen]]. It's implied she'd [[BungledSuicide attempted]] to hang [[DrivenToSuicide herself]], but not only did she not do it properly, [[InterruptedSuicide the Doctor showed up to rescue her]].
* MarshmallowHell: Lightly implied; Katya, whose buxomness is one of her defining characteristics, bids farewell to Fitz in such an affectionate manner he nearly suffocates.
* OldNewBorrowedAndBlue: The Doctor has to get married because it'll somehow save the world from extradimensional baboons. Fitz mentions it's too bad they can't bring the TARDIS into the chapel, because it would count as all four.
* PsychicSurgery: Some vague version of this happens to the Doctor, although the details/explanation are concealed by the semi-LemonyNarrator who basically admits he/she doesn't know exactly what happened.



* [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs]]: The entire plot revolves around stopping interdimensional apes. There's a hunt involved. It's weird.

to:

* SwitchingPOV: ''The Adventuress of Henrietta Street'' largely averts this, being mostly narrated by an unnamed historian, but uses ScrapbookStory to get some of the same effect.
* ThisBedOfRoses: The Doctor, Fitz, and Anji are staying at Scarlette's brothel for most of the novel, and the young ladies working there help them to save the world from extradimensional apes and whatnot.

* WildSamoan: Tula Lui is a teenage girl who's the last survivor from some Polynesian island, virtually never speaks, goes around killing people, and is the closest thing that 18th-century gentleman villain Sabbath has to a real friend. When he used to have a social life he'd bring her to parties because he apparently thought it was funny when she snarled at people.
