RR -- Crossover

[meishali]

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, folks! It's crossover week here at epic_recs and it's your (and our) chance to introduce your fellow fanfic reader to stories that 'combine as much fandom love in one shot as possible'. How many fandoms can you really fit into one fic? The more the merrier, of course ;p

Things to keep in mind: 
-Recced stories can be any length

While I do already have a Crossovers recs page, I suppose I could pick out a few to rec here. I suppose I'm picking out not so much my favourites as ones that are a bit unusual, that people may not have read. There's masses more on my list that I fully recommend you try, though...

Things I Can Depend On by Oriolegirl
Torchwood x Stargate Atlantis
I like it because... I'm biased as it's based on my prompt. Also, I love crossover fics where characters from different fandoms are related.

Saving Jade by Azar
Doctor Who x Dragonriders of Pern
I like it because... It's sweet and works perfectly; most crossover fics feel a bit forced, but this doesn't at all.

Jack Bristow at the Edge of Reason by Yahtzee
Alias x Bridget Jones's Diary
I like it because... It's a unique combination of fandoms, and Yahtzee is one of my very favourite fanfiction authors whatever fandom she's writing in.

An Equal Temper by Lamia Archer
Angel x Bones
I like it because... It's beautiful and bittersweet and perfectly written.

An Accurate Mind by Mara

Thank you for the links! I just finished the TW X SGA one; it's brilliant. Not something I would have looked for normally, but I'm glad you rec'd it. :)

I love House crossovers, though a lot of them tend to begin with: and House was asked to treat another 'special patient/case'...

[lothy]

You're welcome. I love the idea of Jack having adult children from his long life. I've posted different versions of the idea as prompts in a few TW challenges, and I really enjoyed reading Oriolegirl's take on the concept. Did you read the accompanying fic from Ianto's POV?

Yeah, a lot of House crossovers are like that, but not all. On my recs page, for instance, there's a CSI crossover by Teenwitch where House is a murder suspect...

[meishali]

Yes, I did. Loved it. I never thought that it would be interesting to read about Jack's adult children, but now you've got me hooked... I hope more people will take up your prompts :)

Will definitely give the House as a murder suspect a try (but House/Cameron? Seriously?).

[elspethdixon]

I don't think any list of epic crossovers would be complete without Martha Wilson & Kimberley Rector's When Hellmouths Collide.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys/BtVS crossover, over a megabyte long. Despite sounding like it should never work in a million years, it somehow does, brilliantly.

[meishali]

Thank you. That one sure looks epic. :)

[meishali]

Yay, a Speranza fic I haven't read yet. Thanks! :)

Upon a Fiery Steed at ff.net by Vathara
Stargate SG-1 x Gundam Wing
It's one of the most unusual crossovers I've ever read that the author took seriously and managed to pull off. Vathara brought the anime characters and their very intricate political setting into the SG-1 universe just after SG-1 met up with Nirrti. The giant robots and other anime stuff that doesn't work in real time didn't make it into the story. Cheesy sci-fi action with some yaoi/slash in it. Usual SG1/GW OTPs. I love it, but honestly, I'm easily pleased with sci-fi action.

Foreign Territory by Macx_Larabee
Stargate Atlantis x Magnificent 7 (eventually)
Slash McShep
I like this one because John's brush with ancient tech turns him into a horse like creature and it makes for some interesting angst.

Lovely by Martha
Stargate SG-1 x The Sentinel
Slash
I thought it was an interesting look into Daniel's character after his problem with Shifu's Dream. Martha has him on the run from the NID and he runs into Blair at the Library in Cascade.

[meishali]

Thank you! Jane will be thrill to see the SGA/Mag 7 crossover!

[muffiewrites]

I just wish it had more Mag 7 in it than it does, but they've got a decent amount of story time in the back half. It's pretty heavy on the McShep. It's the story that introduced me to the Magnificent 7, actually. I missed the TV thing entirely and the only Mag7 I knew had Yul Brenner as Chris in it, which was just grossssssss!

Ooo, DS crossovers. Jane will love them. Thank you!
Who knows, maybe you'll even convert me to the DS fandom. ;p

[green_grrl]

Cooome to the Canaaadian side ... there's gay marriage! ;)

(I see above you are a Speranza fan -- just read a few of her DS fics, and I dare you to not fall in love!)
