478: The Truth is Out There (X-Files crossovers)
title. Driver Picks the Music
author. currently anonymous (from this year's spn_summergen)
characters. Dean, Sam, John, Mulder, Scully
rating. All ages
words. 15,000
summary. In 1997, the Winchesters were forced to abandon a hunt when Sam became sick. Ten years later, Sam's life might depend on Dean figuring out exactly what happened back then, but all he has to go on are some cryptic hints in Dad's journal.
read this. I love the pull between distant and more recent history, especially the look back and John and Mulder interacting and forward (from XF canon) to Dean and Sam meeting Mulder & Scully.
title. End of the World on April Fools
author. caenozoic
characters. Dean/Mulder
rating. R
words. 2,293
summary. Grief is universal. Strangers meet and have more in common than they can say.
read this. I love the psychology of this, the way the two personalities interact. Also, it's hot. ;)
title. Stopping for Pancakes
author. dotfic
characters. Dean, Sam, John, Mulder, Scully
rating. PG
words. 958
summary. In a diner in 1993, Mulder and Scully find the subjects of an X-File.
read this. John and the teen/tween!chesters meet Mulder and Scully--what's not to like? The characterization feels just right all around. See also Looking for Salt.
title. Veritas, Veritas
author. moorishflower
characters. Dean, Mulder
rating. PG
words. 3,3337
summary. The F.B.I. guy roams across the country, searching for the truth, but Dean Winchester is the only one who knows the truth about him.
read this. Chance meetings between Dean and this FBI guy through the years. Every interaction feels just right.
title. Like Love We Seldom Keep
author. vaznetti
characters. John, Marita, Krycek (John/Marita, Marita/Krycek)
rating. Adult
words. 4,000
summary. A hunter wanders through the pages of someone else's story.
read this. This falls into the time between TXF and SPN, and it has John being so very much John.
title. There Are Worse Ways to go
author. mahoni
characters. Dean, Sam, Mulder, Scully
rating. unrated (I'd say PG/PG-13)
words. 1,000
summary. "This vision didn’t, by any chance, involve autoerotic asphyxiation, did it?"
read this. This story yanks the timelines together to bring S1 Winchesters into contact with S4 M&S, and it's sharp and funny and right for both shows.
reccer's note. The X-Files and Supernatural are entwined in so many ways: genre, subject matter, filming location, actors, crew, producers. Kim Manners. Supernatural has referenced TXF as a show existing within their world, but it's fascinating to imagine the characters meeting and interacting with each other in their intersecting worlds of truth and secrets and danger.
