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

Part 1! :D

Oh, crossovers are my favorite. So I have lots of links, although I've tried to whittle them down some. Longer fics (i.e., at least 10k words) marked with a *. (I also second the recs for When Hellmouths Collide, Death and the Definitely-Not-a-Maiden, Upon a Fiery Steed, the Summer House/Shore Leave/Sabbatical trilogy, and Calling All Cops and Autobots above.)

Seven Times Dean Winchester Didn't Kill a Fugly (And the Two Times He Did) by silverruffian - Supernatural/various - Dean, Sam - Has Dean and Sam crossover into several different fandoms, including Bewitched and Sesame Street. Very much crack, but that's how I like my Supernatural fic.

Can't Stop the Turtle by roga - Discworld/Firefly - ensemble - It's a Discworld crossover, thus guaranteed to be funny if it's any good (which this is).

The Fortune-Teller by Hth - Buffy/Firefly - Kaylee/Tara - Tara joins the Serenity crew in order to help River with her mind-reading. This is nicely sweet.

*Geniuses by Amaretto - Calvin and Hobbes/Foxtrot - Calvin/Jason - Calvin and Jason meet while at college. Nice, fun, works surprisingly well. There are also other stories, some by Amaretto and some by others.

Apples by 20thcenturyvole - Discworld/Firefly - Shadowfax, Death - It's got Shadowfax and Death, what more do you need?

Untitled by Louise Lux - Good Omens/Star Trek TNG - Crowley/Lwaxana Troi - Crowley and Aziraphale meet Lwaxana. Personally, I think there should be oodles of crossovers where people get to meet Lwaxana just because she has such a strong, out there personality.

Hitching a Ride by Meltha - Buffy/Firefly - Jayne/Harmony - Jayne smuggles Harmony on board. Fun!

I Hear the Rotors Still by blinkytreefrog - M.A.S.H./Marvel comics - Radar - Interesting and a little creppy, in a good way.

*The Room with a Computer by Minisinoo - Harry Potter/X-Men - Cyclops, HP ensemble - Cyclops is hired as Hogwarts new Muggle Studies professor. It's pretty nifty.

Green Flying Saucers and Blue Time Machines by chicafrom3 - Doctor Who/Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Ford, Jack - Ford and Jack meet in a bar on Earth. Funny with a slight dose of melancholy at the end.

*Wesley Crusher Dies by akire - Highlander/Star Trek TNG - Wesley, Richie/Methos - Wesley Crusher, it turns out, is an Immortal; Richie mentors him. Not the best thing I've ever read, but "Character X finds out they're Immortal!" is a classic plot, and it's nice to read something where the author doesn't hate Wesley.

Staying Alive by doctorv - DC comics/Stargate Atlantis - Booster/Ted, Superbuddies - Booster, Ted, and the rest of the Superbuddies are members of the Atlantis expedition. Anytime you've got this crew, you've got wackiness and hijinks.

*According to Plan by xparrot - Smallville/Static Shock - Clark/Lex, Virgil/Richie - Lex and Virgil's dad get kidnapped; Clark, Virgil, and Richie work together to get them back. Pretty good. It's a sequel to Of Heroes and Villains and Partners, which is shorter but also enjoyable.

Five Reasons Xander Hates Pete Wentz by lovelypoet - Buffy/Fall Out Boy - Xander, Pete Wentz - The ending to this cracks me up every time.

Thank you! You have an impressive list! I never knew some of these crossovers were even possible.

Calvin/Jason? o_O I'll never be able to read Calvin and Hobbs or FoxTrot the same way again.

You're welcome! I thought the same thing about Calvin/Jason too at first, but it's actually a fairly sweet story. It's a type of sweet that includes destruction of property via rockets, mind you, but still.
