Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, folks! It's crossover week here at

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).
-Crossover fics recced in the past can be found HERE.

Comments
While I do already have a Crossovers recs page (http://mayitbe.co.uk/crossovers/), I suppose I could pick out a few to rec here. I suppose I'm picking out not so much my favourites as ones that are a bit unusual, that people may not have read. There's masses more on my list that I fully recommend you try, though...
Things I Can Depend On (http://oriolegirl.livejournal.com/575613.html) by Oriolegirl
Torchwood x Stargate Atlantis
I like it because... I'm biased as it's based on my prompt. Also, I love crossover fics where characters from different fandoms are related.
Saving Jade (http://azarsuerte.livejournal.com/360891.html) by Azar
Doctor Who x Dragonriders of Pern
I like it because... It's sweet and works perfectly; most crossover fics feel a bit forced, but this doesn't at all.
Jack Bristow at the Edge of Reason (http://www.thechicagoloop.net/yahtzee/aliasfic/TheEdgeOfReason.htm) by Yahtzee
Alias x Bridget Jones's Diary
I like it because... It's a unique combination of fandoms, and Yahtzee is one of my very favourite fanfiction authors whatever fandom she's writing in.
An Equal Temper (http://carlyinrome.livejournal.com/336246.html) by Lamia Archer
Angel x Bones
I like it because... It's beautiful and bittersweet and perfectly written.
An Accurate Mind (http://www.altogetherelsewhere.net/multiverse/2007/anaccuratemind.html) by Mara Greengrass
Firefly x Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I like it because... I love fics about River Tam, and I love Hitchhiker's Guide, so this was a good match.
Oddly, I haven't included any House crossovers, and I love House crossovers. There's some on my recs list though...
I still haven't managed to find anyone to write my HousexAngel bunny though where House tries to diagnose Cordy's vision-migraines... oh well. Maybe one day!
I love House crossovers, though a lot of them tend to begin with: and House was asked to treat another 'special patient/case'...
You're welcome. I love the idea of Jack having adult children from his long life. I've posted different versions of the idea as prompts in a few TW challenges, and I really enjoyed reading Oriolegirl's take on the concept. Did you read the accompanying fic from Ianto's POV?
Yeah, a lot of House crossovers are like that, but not all. On my recs page, for instance, there's a CSI crossover by Teenwitch where House is a murder suspect...
Will definitely give the House as a murder suspect a try (but House/Cameron? Seriously?).
H/C isn't that impossible... they did go on a date in the first season ;) Lol. I enjoy reading it occasionally.
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys/BtVS crossover, over a megabyte long. Despite sounding like it should never work in a million years, it somehow does, brilliantly.
Fandoms: Torchwood/Dr.Who and Discworld
(For some reason, the character of Death and Captain Jack Harkness have this amazingly adorable chemistry together. For example,
That was the last he saw of Death for a few days. But Jack rarely stayed out of trouble for long.
IT IS A NICE DAY. THERE IS LITTLE RAIN.
“What?”
I BELIEVE ACQUAINTANCES ARE SUPPOSED TO EXCHANGE PLEASANTRIES.
Jack found it hard to concentrate after waking up from that one. How did you make small talk with the Grim Reaper?
and,
Jack was awful at chess, and didn't particularly get much better over the course of 1800 years. He wasn't a sore loser, but he did worry aloud to Death that all the practice he was giving him meant that the next person who challenged Death to chess would have the odds stacked against them.
THEY ALWAYS DO. I AM VERY GOOD AT CHESS.
This fic is amazing, and I can really believe, at the end of it, that if they ever met, that Jack Harkness and Death would interact this way if they met.)
California Dreaming (http://daegaer.livejournal.com/19996.html) by
Fandoms: Buffy and Good Omens
(
The blonde girl elbowed Crowley in the stomach. He was definitely surprised by that. She ran over to her friends, and he contented himself with sauntering over to Aziraphale.
“Hi,” he said casually. “Nice timing.”
It wasn’t that he was hiding behind the angel, he told himself. He was guarding Aziraphale’s back. At least until he was sure they hadn’t got any more holy water.
Aziraphale is also adorable in this too.
“All right, I’m a wizard,” Aziraphale said loudly. “And this – is my familiar spirit.”
Crowley looked at him in deep annoyance.
“Yeah? Well -,”
“Be silent, I command you,” Aziraphale said, trying to suppress a smile. “He’s not a bad fellow, but he does tend to go on a bit. Rupert, a word with you, if you please.")
A Vision in Scarlet (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Scarlet.html) by
Fandoms: the Dead Zone and the life of Arthur Conan Doyle (does it even count as a crossover?)
(I haven't seen this story recc'd very much, and it's a pity, because, like all of Speranza's stuff, it's a really awesome story. It's a plausible crossover between two events that are set 100+ years between each other, and that's an accomplishment in and of itself. But it also explores the fact that Arthur Conan Doyle, while he popularized the "rational solution to every mystery", he was also a spiritualist who believed in the afterlife and magic.
Conan Doyle is two steps ahead of him, out of his chair and appealing to Bruce with outstretched hands. "Please, sir; don't go. We are in desperate need of your assistance."
See? Johnny wants to say to Bruce. Even Conan Doyle's with the program. "What can we do to help?" Johnny asks.
"A child is missing," Conan Doyle says desperately, and this seems to push the pale woman past her limits. She crumples to the floor, apparently passing out. "Doctor, please!" the other woman calls, and Doyle rushes to her. He dispatches someone for smelling salts and someone else for water, and while his attention is divided, Johnny seizes the moment to have a quick word with Bruce)
Stargate SG-1 x Gundam Wing
It's one of the most unusual crossovers I've ever read that the author took seriously and managed to pull off. Vathara brought the anime characters and their very intricate political setting into the SG-1 universe just after SG-1 met up with Nirrti. The giant robots and other anime stuff that doesn't work in real time didn't make it into the story. Cheesy sci-fi action with some yaoi/slash in it. Usual SG1/GW OTPs. I love it, but honestly, I'm easily pleased with sci-fi action.
Foreign Territory (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=9778) by Macx_Larabee
Stargate Atlantis x Magnificent 7 (eventually)
Slash McShep
I like this one because John's brush with ancient tech turns him into a horse like creature and it makes for some interesting angst.
Lovely (http://www.skeeter63.org/~soulcake/lovely.html) by Martha
Stargate SG-1 x The Sentinel
Slash
I thought it was an interesting look into Daniel's character after his problem with Shifu's Dream. Martha has him on the run from the NID and he runs into Blair at the Library in Cascade.
Due South crossovers ...
Northern Comfort (http://kellie.mrks.org/fic/ds/northerncomfort.html), No Secrets (http://kellie.mrks.org/fic/ds/nosecrets.html) by Kellie Matthews, and Shadows Fade (http://aukestrel.com/fic/shadowsfade.html) by Kellie Matthews and AuKestrel
Due South/Hard Core Logo/Tales of the City. Fraser/Billy, Fraser/RayK, Billy/Brian. NC-17. A Canadian comes by the Canadian consulate in Chicago and the relationships spin off from there, featuring Paul Gross and Callum Keith Rennie characters.

Wilby Wonderful/Due South. Duck/Dan, Fraser/RayK. The RCMP sends Fraser to Wilby.
Soul Surrender (http://www.elementalvision.org/soulsurrender.html) by Tara Keezer (
Due South/Battlestar Galactica. Fraser/RayK, Fraser/Leoben. The Cylons take Fraser and force him to make a horrific choice. Ray POV remix in Surrender (the end that crowns the pain Remix) (http://community.livejournal.com/remixredux08/51972.html) by
The Cetacean Situation (http://www.livejournal.com/users/littera_abactor/2701.html) by
Due South/Spiderman 2. Fraser/RayK. What happens when Doc Ock's tentacles enter the Due South universe? Tentacle!crack with fantastic character "voice" and disturbingly hot smut.
Don't Drink, Don't Smoke (What Do You Do) (http://minervacat.livejournal.com/995577.html) by
Due South/Hot Fuzz. Gen. Fraser and Ray, on vacation in England. Shenanigans! Glee!
Wings of Desire (http://community.livejournal.com/mjcountdown/8753.html) by
Due South fusion with Wings of Desire. There's nothing an angel in love can do but fall. Absolutely gorgeous.
Call of the Weird (http://spuffyduds.livejournal.com/104956.html) by
Due South/Kingdom of the Spiders. Fraser and Ray come across the survivors of a very bad
horror moviespider infestation. You don't have to have seen the movie, just know: 1) bad sc fi, 2) William Shatner. There you go.Real Boys (http://community.livejournal.com/ds_flashfiction/512211.html) and Space!Mountie (http://troyswann.livejournal.com/tag/space+mountie) by Salieri (
Due South fusion with Bladerunner. Ray is a CPD detective a hundred years in the future, and Fraser's not quite human. Outstanding sci fi.

Who knows, maybe you'll even convert me to the DS fandom. ;p
(I see above you are a Speranza fan -- just read a few of her DS fics, and I dare you to not fall in love!)
Re: DS. I loved mounties when I was a kid (and have pictures to prove it!)...it's just hard to see them...linked to sex.
Zen and the Art of Chopstick Mutilation (http://www.squidge.org/basement/archive/0/zenand.shtml) by Claire and Temaris.
Stargate SG-1/The X-Files. Krycek/Daniel, Jack/Daniel. Daniel wanders in for a seminar at the 23rd Annual Bad Guys (tm) Convention.
One In the Play of Many (http://troyswann.livejournal.com/tag/davinci%27s+inquest) by Salieri (
Stargate SG-1/DaVinci's Inquest. Jack/Daniel. There's a case that's making no sense to the Vancouver PD and Coroner's Office, not made any easier when some US Air Force types and a general with a classified record sweep in.

Her monster epic (that is still ongoing) is Demon Criminal Investigative Services (DCIS) found at

she has tons of others there as well but set aside several days (weeks!) to get through them all.
Thanks for the recs. And we absolutely encourage self pimping :)
Seven Times Dean Winchester Didn't Kill a Fugly (And the Two Times He Did) by
Can't Stop the Turtle by
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 college. Nice, fun, works surprisingly well. There are also other stories, some by Amaretto and some by others.
Apples by
Untitled by Louise Lux - Good Omens/Star Trek TNG - Crowley/Lwaxana Troi - Crowley and Aziraphale meet Lwaxana. Personally, I think there should be oodles of crossovers where people get to meet Lwaxana just because she has such a strong, out there personality.
Hitching a Ride by Meltha - Buffy/Firefly - Jayne/Harmony - Jayne smuggles Harmony on board. Fun!
I Hear the Rotors Still by
*The Room with a Computer by Minisinoo - Harry Potter/X-Men - Cyclops, HP ensemble - Cyclops is hired as Hogwarts new Muggle Studies professor. It's pretty nifty.
Green Flying Saucers and Blue Time Machines by
*Wesley Crusher Dies by akire - Highlander/Star Trek TNG - Wesley, Richie/Methos - Wesley Crusher, it turns out, is an Immortal; Richie mentors him. Not the best thing I've ever read, but "Character X finds out they're Immortal!" is a classic plot, and it's nice to read something where the author doesn't hate Wesley.
Staying Alive by
*According to Plan by
Five Reasons Xander Hates Pete Wentz by
Calvin/Jason? o_O I'll never be able to read Calvin and Hobbs or FoxTrot the same way again.
Highly Classified and Very Hush Hush and Strictly on a Need to Know Basis by
The Gorram Pegasus Galaxy by
*Mind Over Matter by
*Beatles 'Verse by
*Supersaturation 'Verse by
Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda by
*A Distorted Genius by Hwshipper - House/Nero Wolfe - House/Wilson, Archie, Wolfe - Wilson's been arrested for murder, and House hires Wolfe to solve the case. I really liked this one.
Acquainted with the Night by
Paparazzo by
All in a Day's Work by miss_baxter - Doctor Who/Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Donna meets the Vogons. Go Donna!
Huntin' Ain't Never Been So Shiny by
*Fortunate Voyager by
*The Wisdom to Know the Difference by
Origin Story by jjonahjameson - Incredibles/Spider-Man - Edna Mode, Peter Parker - Spider-Man saves Edna from a mugging. Edna! She's always fabulous to read.
*The Scarab by BK the Irregular - Buffy/Stargate SG1 - ensemble - A Goa'uld gets the idea to use vampires to try to take over Earth with. Very long and plotty with a good use of both ensemble casts.
*Actualize This by Helena Handbasket - Invisible Man/Sentinel/Stargate SG1 - Darien & Bobby, Jim & Blair, and Jack & Daniel are forced to attend a government team-building workshop; wacky plot ensues. One of my favorite things about this (aside from the wacky plot because that's pretty much a given) are the different conclusions the characters come to about each other because they're all so off-base. It's all very, very funny.
Also, try the Multiverse ficathon (link goes to 2007's 'thon, which has links to previous years). It's a ficathon for crossovers between various sci-fi shows.
Also also, I'm stopping here, but if you would like crossovers for a specific fandom, just say! I have something like 500 crossovers bookmarked, these are just the ones that I could remember fairly well when I saw the title.
Thanks again!

My Brain Slug by

My Space Adventure by
...I just realized I've got about a dozen bookmarks that can be summarized with "Character A's a member of the Atlantis expedition!" I hadn't realized it was such a popular crossover basis until just now.
Is there anyone from any fandom that Cpt. Jack hasn't slept with??? ;p
I just read this and it *had* to be recced, everywhere I can think of...
The Longest Three-Week Day (http://michelel72.livejournal.com/49511.html) by
Doctor Who x Stargate Atlantis
Another day, another "science conference" gone horribly wrong. For once, Dr. Rodney McKay gets help saving the world... but then Donna Noble remembers. Donna/Rodney, PG, complete at 23,800 words.
