More crossovers ...

oh god if you want crossover epics you gotta check out pretty much everything written by Voracity. Most of it is Buffy-centric (usually focussing on Xander) but it crosses over with pretty much every fandom you can think of.

Her monster epic (that is still ongoing) is Demon Criminal Investigative Services (DCIS) found at
http://e-fic.com/voracity/crossovers.html

she has tons of others there as well but set aside several days (weeks!) to get through them all.

Right, this isn't a shameless excuse to pimp my rec journal *really*, but I specialise in reccing crossovers here and at my del.icio.us. I leave you with this awesome Stargate Atlantis/The Muppet Show crossover by Take Atlantis.

The Muppet Show? o_O I'll have to give that one a try.

Thanks for the recs. And we absolutely encourage self pimping :)

Part 1! :D coprime October 19 2008, 04:13:03 UTC
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 ( ... )

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.
