213: when worlds collide
reccer's note. I think one of the most basic fannish impulses is to wonder - "What would happen if Character A from [insert show] met/hooked up with/fought with Character B from [insert show]?" Here are some of my favorite answers to that question in stories and vids involving Supernatural.
title. Untitled
author. dsudis
characters. Dean/Donna, Sam
summary. "Oh, man, Dean/Donna" and then, in really quite short order it collapsed into schmoopy Dean/Donna curtainfic. Don't say I didn't warn you. (SPN/Doctor Who crossover)
read this. So much better than what actually happened to Donna, I can't even say. So I've decided that this one's my canon.
title. A Simple Touch
author. leonidaslion
characters. Dean/John Smith, Sam
rating. NC-17
words. 9,302
summary. John's savior is too beautiful to be true, and too mysterious for either of their own goods ... (SPN/Dead Zone crossover)
read this. I have never seen so much as a frame of Dead Zone - and it doesn't matter. Though the pairing is nominally Dean/John Smith, this is really a Wincest story - hot and angsty and heartbreaking.
title. A Heartbeat at My Feet
author. kellifer-fic
characters. Dean, Sam, John, Bobby
rating. PG
words. 7,300
summary. An event in their childhood leaves Sam and Dean Winchester separated without knowing the true reason why - that reuniting could kill them both. (SPN/His Dark Materials fusion)
read this. kellifer-fic uses the daemons of the His Dark Materials 'verse to demonstrate just how bonded Sam and Dean are.
title. Coeur d'coeurs
author. lyra_wing
characters. Dean, Sam, Emerson
rating. PG
words. 2,900
summary. Dean and Sam open a pie shop. (SPN/Pushing Daisies Crossover)
read this. Well, it's Dean and pie. Pie. So you know they're MFEO.
title. Old Country
author. astolat
characters. Sam/Dean, Minerva McGonagall, Harry Potter
rating. Adult
words. 40,000
summary. Sam and Dean go to Hogwarts. (SPN/Harry Potter crossover)
read this. Yes, yes, everyone in fandom and possibly the known universe has already read this story, but I couldn't possibly leave it off a list of crossover recs. So, you know, for completeness' sake - this is a marvelous, riveting read that requires no more than a passing familiarity with Harry Potter, if even that, to be thoroughly enjoyable. It's funny and exciting with a wonderfully romantic Sam/Dean 'ship at its core.
title. On the Use of Weapons
author. cofax7
characters. Ellen, Sarah Connor
rating. G
summary. (SPN/Sarah Connor Chronicles crossover)
read this. Atmospheric snapshot of what it might look like if these two 'verses brushed up against each other.
title. The Uilleann Ululation Undertaking
author. musesfool
characters. Dean, Sam, Wendy Watson, Middleman
rating. PG
words. 4,855
summary. "Two weeks ago, the museum received a cache of instruments from Ireland, and among them were a set of Uilleann pipes. We believe the pipes to be dangerous in the wrong hands." (SPN/Middleman crossover)
read this. The voices here are unbelievably perfect - and hilarious.
title. Under Darkening Skies
author. rivkat
characters. Dean/Willow, Buffy, Sam
rating. NC-17
words. 35,000
summary. The Winchesters take a job involving a demon-influenced woman and a powerful witch. Explicit heterosexual content (not, amazingly enough, involving Faith). (SPN/Buffy crossover)
read this. Luckily for me - and for all of you - Sawed Off Recs changed its rules just before I put up this set. Formerly, we couldn't rec stories that were written at our request; now, we can, if we get the endorsement of two regular Sawed Off rec'ers - which in this case I had no trouble procuring. And so I am delighted to rec this gorgeous Buffyverse crossover that I commissioned in a Sweet Charity auction. rivkat absolutely nails the characters from both universes and seamlessly blends their worlds in this beautifully plotted adventure. She also makes everyone look awesome.
All right, I admit - a crossover involving SPN is a little different than a J2 AU, and there are many more J2 AU crossovers than SPN crossovers. Still, I just couldn't resist rec-ing these gems.
title. The Morning I've Never Seen
author. longsufferingly
characters. Jared/Jensen
rating. G
words. 1,500
summary. In which Jensen is possibly a monk, Jared is definitely the love of his life, and they both might be animals, I guess I never specify. (SPN RPS/Gmail theme fusion)
read this. Possibly, the cutest fic ever to appear on the internet.
title. Aero
author. setissma
characters. Jared/Jensen
rating. NC-17
words. 7,200
summary. I hate myself. Have some totally ridiculous dragon rider sex. (SPN RPS/Pern fusion)
read this. Heat!fic, basically, where Jensen's shy and inexperienced, Jared's masterful, and both are endearingly insecure about each other. Hot and desperately sweet.
A well-done multifandom vid fills my heart with incomparable glee. There's nothing that gives me more joy than seeing my favorite shows situated within Greater Fandom.
title. Thriller
vidder. buffyann
characters. SPN ensemble, Buffy ensemble
length. 3:01
summary. Darkness falls across the land
watch this. Terrifically fun, perfect blending of the 'verses.
title. Boulevard of Broken Songs Dance Remix
vidder. destina and barkley
characters. Dean, Jack O'Neill, Mal Reynolds, John Crichton
summary. They are very hot men who walk alone. Feel the angsty man pain. Dance, angsty man pain people, dance!
watch this. Because manpain can be surprisingly catchy!
title. Canadian Actor Bingo
vidder. barkley, elishavah, thepouncer, and widget285
characters. An assortment of semi-regulars, guest stars, and under fives
watch this. Sort of like ... a visual manifestation of what we're always thinking when we watch.
title. Climbing Up the Walls
vidder. obsessive24
characters. Sam/Dean, Peter/Nathan, Simon/River
length. 4:21
summary. Siblings. "I am the pick in the ice."
watch this. An examination of incest!kink in fandom. Disturbing and powerful as hell.
title. Souljacker
vidder. danegen
characters. Dean, Faith (Dean/Faith??)
length. 2:49
summary. Faith and Dean, character study
watch this. A well-constructed analysis of the deeper visual and narrative parallels between ... oh, look at the pretty!! So very, very pretty!! ... I'm sorry, was I saying something?
title. Keeper of the Fire
vidder. sweetestdrain
characters. Sam, Ben Hawkins, Johnny Smith, Peter Petrelli, Joan Giraldi, Paul Callan, Jaye Tyler
summary. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush... (Exodus 3:2)
watch this. A gorgeous and unsettling comparison of characters who are touched by angels, demons, and destiny.
title. City of Angels
vidder. bachaboska
characters. Dean/Castiel
length. 1:19
watch this. This movie would have been way better than the Cage/Ryan version.
title. Filthy Mind
vidder. sol-se
characters. Sam, Dean, and everyone else in the multiverse
length. 2:48
summary. A fandom free association, stream of consciousness. With dancing.
watch this. I'm finishing with this one because sol-se brings everyone - and I do mean everyone - together, proving that the entire multiverse lives inside Gaius Baltar's mind. Which, if you think about it, makes a lot of sense.
