move your body when the sunlight dies

Something I have discovered about being polyfannish is that, when I am in the shower or on a bus or folding clothes or whatever it is that puts my brain on screensaver mode, I will start making up crossovers. I love clever crossovers, and clever fusions (and, I'll be honest here, I would be perfectly happy if every fandom ever had a His Dark Materials fusion where all the characters had daemons and this did interesting things to the fic plot). Most of the time I do not actually get around to writing them down, but I do like to pretend that I might.

I am not quite sure why the rest of this post is a poll, except that I am in a poll-making mood and I want to know if people know what I'm talking about.

Highlander/White Collar: Neal Caffrey first died somewhere in the 1930s; Amanda was his mentor. Now Peter Burke is his Watcher, and breaking pretty much every noninterference clause in the book. Mozzie is Immortal too; no one knows how old he is, and he's not telling.

"For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, he chases Lex Luthor to the USA and fights crime in Chicago."

*dies* Good grief, I'm not even a Due South fan, and that cracked me up. :D

Also. All of these? WRITE THEM. Except the Young Wizards one, because I didn't really like Young Wizards, and as long as I'm making selfish demands I might as well go whole hog.

I may yet write all of them! Stranger things have happened.

You are also likely to get your but-not-the-YW-one wish, if only because I've had the idea for years and years but never set it to paper. My mind is kind of boggling at the idea of someone not liking Young Wizards, though! Why do you not much like it? I am curious. :)

I... I'm not even certain, to be honest! Everyone seemed to love them so much, so I took them out of the library and read So You Want to Be a Wizard, and then Deep Wizardry, and then I think I made a start on High Wizardry before giving up. I just got... bored, and a little confused, and, IDK, something about the style of the writing just rubbed me the wrong way. I'd probably have to re-read a few chapters to articulate what, exactly, it was that bothered me.
