RR -- Crossovers

  • May. 27th, 2012 at 4:27 PM
We've come to the close of our crossover week here at [livejournal.com profile] epic_recs, and it's been a blast focusing on stories that mash-up two or more fandoms.  We'd love to hear about any favorite crossover fics you've really enjoyed.

Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to). All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).
-Stories as a single file are preferred, if available.
- WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING NEW RECCERS. Reccers are accepted by invitation only and the invitations are issued primarily based on their response to RR posts.  If you're interested, respond to this post (or one of the previous RR posts) with a full rec, including Title, Author, Rating, Pairing, Genres, Length, Summary, and Review (including details of why you liked the story).

Today's Topic: Crossovers

Previous RR topics can be found here.

"raises a hand shyly" So, hum, I know this epically long crossover, and I thought it was recced here, but I checked the fandom tags just to be sure and it turns out it's not, so I thought I'd do it, but it's still a WIP and I'm not sure what's the policy on that? #>__<#

Tenhawk's Alexander Harris and the Shadow Council

Fandom: BtVS, HP, Addams Family; weird combination, but it works ♥
Link: Here it is (http://fanfiction.tenhawkpresents.com/viewstory.php?sid=35)
Notes: The fic is still a WIP, so beware; but it's freakishly epic (322 708w so far), and every new chapter is quite long and worth the few months' wait.

Sorry it took me so long to answer x__x

Long fic
Anything by Voracity, since she's only been recced here like twice. YMMV, but her recent Castle/BTVS crossover with SGA/SG1 and Supernatural cameos is good (Xander has always written as stress relief, Anya makes it a career), as is her SG1/SGA/BTVS/M7(ATF!AU) which sees Jack O'Neill ( followed by John Sheppard and then Xander Harris) as President of the United States.

Since she has a ton of fic and all of it epic. and most of is megacrossover though...

http://voracity.e-fic.com

Keira Marcos's Sentinel AU! of Stargate Atlantis
http://keiramarcos.com/fan-fiction-index/stargate-atlantis-fan-fiction/the-sentinels-of-atlantis-atlantissentinel/
Also epic, and as Jim and Blair do actually appear...

The Housemates verse (Being Human/Thor/The Avengers)
Loki falls to Midgard, where he learns there is more than one way to cope with being a monster. AKA His roommates are a ghost a vampire and a werewolf stuggling to be human and Loki works as a janitor at a nearby school.

Combined word count on 3 finished stories in series: 339,949 words.

Just finished the story. Thanks again for the rec, I really enjoyed it!

Sentinel was a TV show that lasted for 2 years. It was a cop buddy show with a supernatural twist: Jim (the cop) is a Sentinel that manifests his abilities after a long stake out in the woods and Blair is a grad student that helps him figure out what's going on. :D

Crossovers of Varying Lengths
Crossovers are a favorite of mine. Although most of my favorites have already been recommended, I thought I would toss in a few others anyway.


Title: City Chase (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6217947/1/City_Chase)
Fandoms: TMNT/Batman
Author: Goblin Kat KC
Rating: T
Genres: Action/Adventure, Crossover, Family
Length: 8,697
Summary: Batman's in New York, and finds out how hard it is to chase down one turtle.

Review: Good action fics are hard to find within a fandom, let alone in crossovers, but this one shows the skills of both Batman and the Ninja Turtles evenly. It plays off the classic “misunderstanding” idea, but this one at least makes sense. Definite bonus points for Oracle figuring out the situation first and yelling at Batman over the headset to try to get sense into him before Leonardo does something drastic.


Title: My Name is Leonardo (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4976742/1/My_Name_Is_Leonardo)
Fandoms: TMNT/Gargoyles
Author: Spawn Guy
Rating: T
Genres: Action/Adventure, Crossover
Length: 6,579
Summary: My name is Leonardo. And I am going to die.

Review: Spawn Guy has a great sense of humor and action that shines in this fic, and he manages to fuse these two fandoms beautifully. I did find the flashbacks a little jarring at first, but that's my only complaint. Those familiar with Gargoyles and TMNT will squeal at the in-jokes; those not familiar with them will still appreciate a well written and suspenseful chase fic with plenty of fun lines sprinkled throughout.


Title: Instincts (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4760337/1/Instincts)
Fandoms: The Sentinel/NCIS
Author: Sweet Anonymity
Rating: K
Genres: Angst, Friendship, Crossover
Length: 43,964
Summary: Tony's facing something he can't handle alone. It's a good thing he's got Ducky, McGee, Ziva, Abby, and Gibbs behind him-even if they're still struggling to figure this thing out, too.

Review: This is the only gen crossover I’ve seen between these The Sentinel and NCIS (don’t get me wrong. I enjoy slash, but I like gen crossovers too and there aren’t enough of them out there). I love the way she writes Tony and Gibbs awkwardly feeling their way through the strange situation as their team tries to figure out what is wrong with him. My only real complaint is the “oh how lucky!” placement of Jim and Blair in DC which feels a little too contrived, but it works okay for the story.

This is the first in a series, and in my opinion Sweet Anonymity gets better with each story, so if you like this one definitely continue with the others.


Title: A Small Wish (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5666714/1/A_Small_Wish)
Fandoms: Doctor Who/xxxHolic
Author: Aiffe
Rating: K
Pairing: 10th Doctor/Rose (sort of)
Genres: Angst, Crossover
Length: 1,709
Summary: When the Doctor wants an impossible thing, he finds himself in Yuuko’s shop.

Review: I always find it amazing when a crossover can tie two fandoms together without taking either one out of canon, and this one is heartbreaking. I love how it offers a second explanation for the collapsing universes and Doctor/Donna without challenging canon, but makes the Doctor’s second loss of Rose that much more painful. Takes place after the end of Doctor Who episode “Doomsday,” when the TARDIS lands in front of Yuuko’s shop and the Doctor is forced to decide exactly how much Rose means to him.


Title: A Brief Account of Life with Zombies (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6253167/1/A_Brief_Account_Of_Life_With_Zombies)
Fandoms: Sherlock (BBC)/World War Z
Author: Silver Pard
Rating: T
Genres: Humor, Crossover
Length: 2,747
Summary: The zombie apocalypse arrives. Mycroft wants tea, Sherlock wants to work and John wants a katana.

Review: A short look at the “Zombie Incursion” as seen through the eyes of Sherlock, told in text messages, John’s blog, emails, and Mycroft’s encrypted notes. Normally, I detest zombie fics, but I found myself giggling as I read this, and I absolutely love John’s response to the whole situation. Sherlock’s complaints to Mycroft about John finding a sword and not leaving him any test subjects to play with has me smiling every time.
