Five Answers part 4- Crossovers and fanfic!
Welp, it's the last one today so I've done the one I had most fun with- futuresoon 's Top five crossovers you should write/want someone else to write/have been working on but never mentioned/you get the point. I actually don't have any pictures for this one, so I dipped into the alternate universes where these were all written and stole a small chunk, as well as the title. I kind of want to write these now!
But before we get started, here's the other question about the kinds of fanfic I like from solaeris :
5. Gen
4. Everyday situations
3. Unpopular characters
2. Nonromantic/platonic relationships
1. GEN
1. Asterix and the Pandorica
Asterix has, by his own admission, seen some pretty strange things. He's seen men turned to stone or given miraculous strength, far away lands and Rome's first all-female cohort. This, however, has to rank among the strangest. The centurion gestures with a hand and a nearby tree dissolves into ash.
"We just want to look at your box, Roman." Asterix grunts, restraining Obelix as best he can.
"Trust me." Says the centurion, and the hand turns on them. "You don't."
2. The Magician
John's been sitting in the park for a while now. He's hoping that he gets locked in so he has an excuse not to go home. It's too dark, there, and the memories get too close. That had been a bad job in a life of bad jobs.
He wrinkles his nose in a sneer at the guy sitting down next to him. Isn't it sodding clear enough he wants to be left alone?
"Piss off, eyebrows."
The man silently gives him the V sign and pulls out a newspaper. Then the magical aura hits John and he can't think straight, can't even see straight. Evidently he's not the only magician here.
3. Hellboy: the Forks Job
"Kate, the intel was wrong. These aren't vampires."
Kate Corrigan's voice crackles with confusion over the intercom. "Blood-drinking, immortal, super strong. Sounds like vampires to me, HB."
Hellboy takes cover behind a pillar and waits until the female bursts into the sunlight, then takes aim.
"I've fought a lot of vampires, Kate. Vampires don't sparkle."
4. Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Duck-Headed Umbrella
My Dear Holmes,
In light of your continued refusal to deal with the necessary facts of my going away, I have found it necessary to hire a replacement to 'mind' you while I am gone. Perhaps this will teach you to behave in a more civilised manner next time. This is a colleague of mine, Miss Poppins. She is a fully-trained expert in the care of children, and so she should be perfectly capable of handling you.
Yrs,
Dr J Watson
5. The Soul and Centre
"I know who you are." Granny says sharply. "Stand out where I can see you, lad."
The man steps shyly into the light. "Thought it was time."
She looks him up and down, sniffs. "Maybe it is. Can't say it's decent, though, land being people. Seems unhygienic."
Nanny Ogg thinks of the caves, or the mines she's been in deep underneath the mountains, and cackles.
