Crossover Craziness!
MOAR RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU SAY?
I'm sure that if anybody knows my tastes well, they'll know that I absolutely love well-written crossovers. As such, I thought I'd link you guys to the best stuff I've run across thus far... and that I can think of off the top of my head and can dig up easily enough. (Thank you so much, Delicious, for continuing to exist...) Many of these are oldies but goodies. :)
I've noticed that a disproportionate amount are Harry Potter crossovers... but JKR created such a lovely sandbox, so it should be no surprise that everyone wants to play in it! ;) There are also lots of Good Omens crossovers on this list, but in my defense, Good Omens is an amazing book, and it engenders some amazing fanfic.
Avatar: The Last Airbender X Harry Potter
Duality by avocado_love
An accident with two linked Vanishing Cabinets transports Draco Malfoy and Prince Zuko into a place between their two worlds. To escape they need to work together, and it may turn out that the two aren't very different after all.
I absolutely love this piece. It's very character driven, because the plot essentially amounts to "throw Malfoy and Zuko into a small space together and see what happens"... and what happens is AWESOME. It's one of the best crossovers I've ever read for keeping characters from both fandoms extremely in-character. It also has a multi-chaptered sequel, which is always a plus.

Rampage by avocado_love
There isn't a facility on any planet that can hold the Fire Prince and the World's Greatest Earthbender.
I've never even seen Stargate and I love this fic. Read for Toph and Zuko badassery. Also has sequel.
Buffy: The Vampire Slayer X Good Omens
California Dreaming by daegaer
Crowley takes a business trip to America, and runs across Buffy et al. Aziraphale must rescue him from being purified.
CSI X Good Omens
Ophidian Evidence by Macx
The CSI team is called to a crime scene (breaking & entering) to find... a giant snake.
CSI X Harry Potter
In Vegas and In Trouble by Sophie3
Harry Potter finds himself in trouble when the Las Vegas CSI show up and he has a dead body in his bedroom. The one time he needs the Ministry to butt into his business, and they’re suspiciously absent. Now, how is he going to explain this one?
An oldie but goodie. Involves Harry trying to deal with the police as a muggle while suspicious things like Hedwig and a dead Death Eater on his apartment's floor hang about.
Dogma X Good Omens
Angels, angels everywhere (Home is Where the Heart Is) by daegaer
“Shit, man,” the young man said. “You’re a fucking angel.”
“Oh dear,” Aziraphale said. “So are you.”
Fullmetal Alchemst X Harry Potter
Cerulean Silver vs Amber Gold by hikaranko
Edward Elric has been put on his stupidest assignment yet: babysitting. Everyone else calls it undercover work. To Ed, it's babysitting. But there's more to this assignment than what's on file...
There are quite a few half-decent HP X FMA crossovers out there. This is one of the better ones. I was always a sucker for an Edward Elric who actually follows military protocol. Sometimes.
Good Omens X Harry Potter X Buffy: The Vampire Slayer
The Comfort of Old and New by violet_quill (may be friends-locked)
After Buffy's death, Giles returns to England, where he visits an old friend's bookshop. While he's there, he meets someone else who has also suffered a recent loss.
I love the idea of Aziraphale just... KNOWING people.
Good Omens X Harry Potter X House, M.D.
Battle of the Vexes by violet_quill (may be friends-locked, but I can't remember)
A wizard, a demon, and a doctor walk into a bar...
( So here we have three men, each of whom thinks that he is far more intelligent than the other two. )
It's Snape, Crowley, and House, together. SNARK ENSUES.
Good Omens X James Bond
Falling Without a Parachute by musegaarid
James Bond is having a hell of a time in his most controversial adventure.
Essentially, James Bond meets Crowley, in the 1950s. It is AMAZING because Bond just doesn't quite GET Crowley, who is, of course, a demon.
Good Omens X Sherlock (BBC)
Getting Away With Murder by irisbleufic
Mycroft makes John and Sherlock an offer they're too bored to refuse.
The Nice Young Man Upstairs by irisbleufic
Sherlock and John investigate a murder in the flat below Crowley's.
irisbleufic just has such a wonderful grasp on the characters, combined with a lovely writing style.
Good Omens X Supernatural
When Summoning, Please Watch the Wording by Ryuuza Kochou
Dean and Sam fall into the hands of Satanists, who, naturally, want to use Sam as the vessel for the Golden Eyed Demon. Well...they do get A Certain Golden Eyed Demon. And an avenging Angel. And a serious posterior whooping.
(Because Crowley isn't all that bad, really.)
Iron Man X X-Men
What Happens in Vegas... by cruelest_month
Tony accidentally gets married to Logan (Wolverine) in Vegas. After learning all the reasons he can't divorce him from Pepper, Tony has to learn to deal with wedding presents, well-wishes for the Avengers and X-men, and sentimental sound effects.
Sounds like crack, but isn't.
Hetalia X V for Vendetta
Remember, Remember by AppleCiderVinegar
The fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot... “I’d watch that mouth of yours, Mr. Kirkland,” Creedy remarked. “It’s liable to get you into a real mess one of these days, you know.”
Howl's Moving Castle X Harry Potter
The Mission of a Lifetime by Moonlite Night
When Howl snuck out of his castle that day, he was expecting a day free from the bothersome duties of a loving husband and doting father. He was not expecting to be roped into a war. He should really stop expecting things.
Howl is just so... Howl! Arrogant, vain and badass. The Order has a right to be suspicious.
Inuyasha X Harry Potter
Of Great Turmoil and Excess Stupidity by Seaouryou
In his quest to teach his students about foreign magical creatures, Hagrid has a demon shipped over from Japan. A poisonous, arrogant, illtempered one. Hilarity and mass murder ensue.
This fic doesn't take itself seriously... and is hilarious as a result.
Naruto X Harry Potter
Itachi and the Prisoner of Azkaban by Mistress DragonFlame
Just before that fateful time where Itachi slaughters his clan, he receives a mission to guard one Harry Potter for a single year. How much can change for Itachi, Harry, and the History of both worlds, in just one year?
This is one of those crossovers that I just LOVE. Yes, it starts off with the third year at Hogwarts... but the introduction of Itachi (being awesome) does not mean that the plot happens in exactly the same way with a few extra lines thrown in here and there. STUFF HAPPENS. Awesome stuff. It also has a sequel, which is ongoing... in which Itachi is a Hogwarts professor... of a completely unexpected subject.
Stranded by Gigabomb
... a bunch of random Naruto characters stuck in the HP-verse via a crack theory on the Sharingan.
Joke summary, seriously good fic. These Konoha nin form their own secret society and hire themselves out as ninjas when they find themselves trapped for good in the Harry Potter world.
Temeraire X Harry Potter
Flying Again by esama
Harry learns languages and philosophy and mathematics and misses something important, while elsewhere Charlie thinks of pearls and foolish dreams and is unable to find the right dragon.
Rebirth fic. Absolutely adorable.
Little After Dark by esama
Terrible things happen to those that meddle with time, but sometimes it was worth it. Meddling with the affairs of dragons, though, that was a different thing. AU with some OOCness, swearing and a Creature!Harry.
Much better than it sounds. Once Dragon!Harry and the girls get to the Temeraire world... <3
Tsubasa Chronicle X Star Trek: Deep Space 9
What Came Through the Wormhole by Ontogenesis
The TRC gang suddenly appears on the station, much to the shock of the DS9 crew. How will they manage to find Sakura's feather while under suspicion?
I'm surprised that Tsubasa doesn't have more amazing crossovers. I mean, the entire premise of the series is a series of world-hopping crossovers. SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
WALL-E X Toy Story
On the Shelf by Miss Becky
WALL-E isn't as alone as he thinks he is. Someone is watching.
Super cute, and yet also sad at the same time. I sniffled when I read it the first time.
One of the best crossover videos I've ever seen. Another oldie but goodie: Cowboy Bebop X Trigun. Hey, one show is about a bunch of bounty hunters in space. The other's about a guy on a planet in the future with a giant bounty on his head. THEY MUST MEET.
And of course, I can't mention awesome crossovers (let alone awesome crossover videos) without at least mentioning the Buffy vs Edward video (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer X Twilight).
I'm thinking I'll do a timetravel fic recommendation list as well one of these days. And a good alternate universe list, too.
I'm sure that if anybody knows my tastes well, they'll know that I absolutely love well-written crossovers. As such, I thought I'd link you guys to the best stuff I've run across thus far... and that I can think of off the top of my head and can dig up easily enough.
