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'...

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?).

H/C isn't that impossible... they did go on a date in the first season ;) Lol. I enjoy reading it occasionally.

Ponders... I'm not sure why, but I always loved Grissom/Sara but could never understand House/Cameron. Sara and Cameron are quite similar in many ways, it's just I can't see House putting up with Cameron whereas Grissom has...more patience?
