Fic Rec of Extreme Awesome
Ooooooh, yeah. So. I signed up for a prompt at this comm called trek_exchange. The prompt I got was horrible, in a fourteen-year-old songfic sort of way. But enough about that. I requested a crossover fic that's been lurking in the plotbunny corner of my mind since I saw the new Star Trek.
The Enterprise and the Serenity should meet, y'all.
And Scotty and Kaylee should make sweet, sweet, engineering-euphemismed love. And Mal and Kirk should bond over their crazy gun-slinging ways. And Simon and Bones should be grumpy and try to out-professional each other to death. And Spock and River should circle each other warily, River being all genius-y and telepathic, and Spock being, "This chick is amazingly intelligent and somehow UNDERSTANDS ME (and there is a small moment of emo!Spock with some black eyeliner and a lonesome guitar riff), but OMGSHE'SSOCRAZY!!"
And somebody delivered.
celebros, the darling, has written a crossover for the ages. I know I made the request, but generally speaking, I hate crossovers. Very rarely are they done well; this is the best exception to that rule I have ever seen. Both canons really shine through without belittling or violating each other, the characterization is beautiful, and the interactions are so perfectly written, it's like watching the actual shows. It is amazing. celebros has promised me more (excuse me while I die of fangirl squee), including more Spock and River, Mal and Kirk, Scotty/Kaylee love, Simon and McCoy, Jayne and Cupcake (YES, JAYNE AND CUPCAKE. WHO IS ACTUALLY NAMED GERRY.), and wait for it, wait for it...
River and Chekov being young geniuses together, and possibly dancing Russian ballet.
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? RUN, DO NOT WALK! Or, you know, click. Turn of the 'Verse
