Title: Jedi Harris
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Star Wars, plus Stargate:SG-1/CSI/NCIS/Haven/Castle/Father Ted (yes, really) in later stories.
Pairing: Gen
Categories: Crossover, action, drama, occasional crack, YAHF
Length: Super-Epic (230,000 words, and that's just the first story)
Warnings: None (though the Wish-verse section is appropriately nasty)
Author on TtH: Scribbler

Summary:
“It’s a prop,” said a British voice to one side of him. “There’s a rumour that it was used, I believe, on one of the Star Wars films. I’ve no idea which one, but it might have been the original Star Wars.”
Review:
It's Cliché Week, and for Buffy crossover fans that can mean only one thing: YAHF. Yet Another Halloween Fic. That season 2 episode has launched more fanfics than any other single episode, in part because it's so easy to base a crossover from it. Just have your favourite characters pick up a costume of the show you want to use, and when Ethan Rayne's spell begins you have an instant crossover.
Needless to say, Sturgeon's Law applies in spades. Far too many stories use the idea as a cheap power-up for their favourite character, usually Xander, and let him keep his powers at the end with not the slightest hint as to why no one else gets to keep more than fuzzy memories. At first sight, Jedi Harris looks like it falls into that category; Xander dresses as a Jedi, becomes a slightly confused version of Obi-Wan, and still has Force powers at the end.
Fortunately, that's barely the beginning. Scribbler does have an explanation that the characters toss around; the Force is real, isn't the same thing as magic, and Star Wars gives the right metaphors to approach it despite being fiction in this world. It's a deliberately incomplete explanation, and it doesn't explain how Xander can remember large chunks of Obi-Wan's life that were never in any of the films (and aren't part of the Obi-Wan he dressed as, for that matter), but it does explain why Xander and (eventually) others can learn to manipulate the Force. It even comes with a built in balancing mechanism, not falling to the Dark Side, that stops Xander taking primacy from Buffy.
It's really cleverly done, in my opinion. The characters feel true to themselves throughout, though Jedi do tend to end up calmer and more self-assured, as you might hope. The plot moves on logically, taking into account both canon and where it would logically be changed by events. Many characters move in and out of events in ways you might not have expected, but which fit perfectly well when you think about it. There are even little cameos by other crossover characters, such as Don Camillo (give yourself a pat on the back and feel smug if that made sense to you).
Jedi Harris has turned into a whole sequence of stories of varying lengths, all equally well written, as more and more Jedi are found and trained. I thoroughly commend the lot of them, complete or not.
Jedi Harris (takes things up to Graduation)
The Terran Jedi (incomplete: introduces SG-1)
Train From The West (medium-length story in which the Vegas CSI team investigate an impossible crime scene).
Craggy Island: Vampire-Free Zone (purest crack)
The NCIS Jedi (how a member of the NCIS team becomes a Jedi)
A Jedi, a Mage and the Troubles (a case takes the NCIS team to Haven while Audrey is in the Barn)
The Alley and Jedi Castle (strange things happen in New York too).

Summary:
Xander joins NCIS and has to prove himself to become a proper Federal Agent. Keeping his past secret is hard enough by itself — will he be able to do so when the supernatural manages to find him in DC?
Review:
Xander becoming an NCIS agent is a common enough means of crossing these two fandoms over. It's been done a few times, with varying degrees of success. What sets this story apart for me is how it resolutely refuses to fall into the usual lazy writing traps. This Xander isn't a Superxan; his Halloween memories give him an expertise with firearms but his Sunnydale instincts are for hand-to-hand, and his eye-patch is offset by Willow giving him perfect depth perception. Similarly this Gibbs is somewhat open to the possibility of the supernatural, but isn't omniscient and has no idea that demons are anything more than indistinct shapes in the desert. And Tony is an ass to the probie, but not to an extreme.
It makes for a refreshingly well thought out story, with just the right levels of trust and secrets flying about. Xander actually has the perfect foil for the team's curiosity about his past; in the official reports, the Scoobies were treated as civilian consultants to the Initiative, so Xander is officially not allowed to tell Gibbs anything. Gibbs doesn't have to like it, but without good reason he does have to lump it, and again the author plays this nicely.
The supernatural element turns up in the form of a vague and ill-defined prophecy that is taken to mean that the someone in DC in the right government job at a particular time will come into lots of power and money. The NCIS team become involved through missing marines, and then Angel and the Slayers show up separately, and Xander has to walk the tightrope of keeping everyone cooperating. This is not easy when Gibbs doesn't trust civilians and the Scoobies don't trust the military, and possibly my only criticism of the story was that I felt Xander didn't quite have a hard enough time of it. It's a matter of degree only, and personal preference at that, but I would have rather seen both Gibbs and Buffy take a little more convincing to play well.
All in all, a well-balanced story.

Summary:Most people never touch another person's soul...but when a 20 year old Leroy Jethro Gibbs meets an 8 year old Tony DiNozzo, it sparks an event that links them forever.
Review: This fic is dark, creepy, scary and sad by turns. A great treat for a stormy Halloween night. And it has a happy ending before you get too scared off.
If you're not familiar with Daemon AUs, Xanthe has a nice intro to them in the Author's notes at the beginning of the story.
This is an origin story for Tony and Jethro, following them from the time Tony is 8 years old, until a few years into canon. Xanthe as always, does an amazing job of questioning canon, and showing details that you never though about when you were first watching or reading canon.
For instance the question of what happens to a daemon, when their partner is so twisted that they start killing and torturing other daemons?

Summary: After a long search, Mulder finally finds someone who'll give him the extreme thrills he seeks - but there's a price.
Review:
For super! epics week I picked one of my favourite stories by Xanthe and the first "real" bdsm relationship fanfiction I read. Often people use the trope of slavery to have one character force the other to submit and feature them in various situations where the submissive person is whipped, caned, flogged, tied up etc. At least that was the experience I had had before I came across Xanthe's super! epic X-Files fanfiction.
First off, I am not a fan of the X-Files. All in all I've seen so far about 3-5 episodes and I'm not impressed with the show all that much. But, for some reason, the premiss of the story captivated me and I read the story without actually knowing most of the characters. For me it was almost like reading incredibly well-written original slash.
My lack of knowledge of the characters and plots of the TV show were no problem at all while reading the fanfiction and the captivating portrayal of the relationship and the shift in the relationship between Mulder and Skinner had me reading the whole novel without a pause.
It is by far one of my favourite bdsm feauturing stories and even though I have recced this genre a couple of times (and a lot of great stories), I have reserved a special place in my heart for this piece of fanfiction that got me started on that road. ;)

Summary:
Post Obsession Conversation: Gibbs and Tony have a rather revealing conversation following the events of Obsession. Picks up from the end of the episode.
Figuring It Out: Gibbs and Tony try to figure out where their relationship is headed after the revelations in Gibbs' basement. The team helps. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious.
Second Law: Gibbs and Tony continue to settle in to their new relationship and try to balance all the different aspects of their lives. As before, the team helps. Sometimes funny, sometimes not.
Review:
Here is a very nice verse following the Obsession episode during season 4.
The first fic is a perfect following to this episode. Their conversation is amazing and really show the connection between Gibbs and DiNozzo.
The second and third stories follow their growing relationship and deal with their lives in private and in their workplace. The problems are clearly posed and the author never shy away from them.
I really loved the athmosphere of this verse. The whole NCIS cast is well crafted. And the charaters are very much in character.
The cas files are also very realistic and well-written.
It's trully a must read in the NCIS fandom.

He certainly did not expect to fall in love again.
Review: SQUEAL. SQUEAL. SQUEAL. I loved this story soooo much! It's a different take than what I'm used to seeing in CM fandom. For one, Aaron and Spencer already have a relationship albeit the one between Sentinel and their Guides but still. I love the fact that Spencer and Jack have such a strong relationship here! It's not often that there is an established relationship between them.
I can't say more without spoiling you so I'll end it here and allow you guys to read and love Life Changes for yourself. :)

Review: SQUEAL. SQUEAL. SQUEAL. I loved this story soooo much! It's a different take than what I'm used to seeing in CM fandom. For one, Aaron and Spencer already have a relationship albeit the one between Sentinel and their Guides but still. I love the fact that Spencer and Jack have such a strong relationship here! It's not often that there is an established relationship between them.
I can't say more without spoiling you so I'll end it here and allow you guys to read and love Life Changes for yourself. :)
Life Changes
Here is a rec for our Dark/Horror/Supernatural week.
Title : Angel of Death
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Categories: First time, Hurt/Confort, Supernatural
Length: Epic (~46600 words)
Warnings: Season 2 compliant, canonical death of a character.
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: KSL fanfictions
Summary:
When Tony is recovering from exposure to the plague, Gibbs finds out Tony has a most unusual friend. That friendship is just the nudge Gibbs needs to act on his feelings for Tony.
Review:
Here is a long fic centering on Gibbs and DiNozzo with a nice supernatural twist. I really like how KSL used both canon facts from the 2nd season and original ideas to develop their relationship.
The whole NCIS cast is clearly recognizable, KSL just gave them more depth. Ksl also introduced well-written OC when necessary. Sam, the main supernatural OC, never overwhelms the canonical characters and adds just so much more to this story.

Here's my rec to close out mystery/case file week here at Epic Recs!
Title: Rictus
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gen
Categories: Mystery, case file, angst, pre-canon, backstory
Length: Epic (63,144 words)
Warnings: Violence, case deals with a killer targeting children, descriptions of crime scenes with children victims

Summary:
How Tony Dinozzo started working for NCIS.
Review:
If you’re in the NCIS fandom you’ve no doubt read this story from the mid 2000’s. It is a terrific tale that takes a small piece of dialogue between Kate and Tony and expands on it in a completely plausible way explaining how Gibbs and Tony met and the circumstances that brought Tony to NCIS. Obviously this has since been Jossed, but I think it still stands the test of time.
The overall story is well written and the mystery keeps you wondering as it does Gibbs and Tony. I enjoyed the procedural part of this almost as much as the storyline itself because police work and investigations do take time, are frequently frustrating, and sometimes it’s knowing that all the pieces are there and just not being sure how they fit together.
The author has a great ear for dialogue, especially when it comes to Ducky, and the characterizations of Gibbs and Tony are layered and believable. The OC’s are incredibly strong and distinct and add much to the story.
If it’s been awhile since you’ve read this, I recommend giving it a re-read, it truly is just as good, even years later. And if you’ve never read this story? I’m a little envious of you and recommend you give it a shot because this is one of those stories that highlights the best of what fanfic is all about.

Summary:
Gibbs says his last goodbyes before sailing off into retirement.
Review:
I don't read a lot of angsty fics. So it was a bit hard to find a story I wanted to share so in doubt I went back to one of the best author I know for Angst/Drama stories aka Xanthe. And while most of her longger fics have already been recced here,there were a few I enjoyed reading specially "Sunrise". I must admit it's quite short, a bit less than 3000 words and not too angsty it still made me cry a little.
In this fic, Xanthe explore what could happen when Gibbs retires. Her use of Gibbs POV is very well-chosen. And I just love the glimpse it give us about all the other characters. The relationships between Gibbs and the other membres of the NCIS team are well-done. And as always I just can't help thinking I would have love to read more of this fic.
