aria | Entries tagged with fic: crossover

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.

Inception/Smallville: The team's been hired to do another inception, this time for another billionaire, Lex Luthor. The job is simple: they just have to incept Superman to trust Lex again.

So not only did I [a] mainline a children's show and [b] actually tear up at the end of it (I am apparently overinvested in CKR's characters having happy family lives, damn yooou, Ray Kowalski) but I then [c] wrote fic about it.

In this particular case it is

china_shop's fault for making encouraging happy sounds when I said that I totally wanted Eric and Fraser's adventures Being Good People together. That is ... not quite what this fic is, because this fic is actually a riff on the tune of "Post-quest Fraser goes to take a Canadian posting somewhere without Ray and is not happy," except that in this particular case a Canadian posting somewhere is Gimli. So I decided to write it for the current (nearly expired, ahaha)

ds_flashfiction challenge. WHY NOT. (I think it might also have the distinction of being just as random and obscure as the HCL/Slings & Arrows crossover. Can I get some sort of C6D medal for Pointless But Fun Crossover Fic? That would be awesome.)

Anyway: 1500 Kilometers (& A Caboose). For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, Fraser is BFFs with Eric Johansson. And Johnny and Ray look kind of alike for no particular reason. And Zoë is awesome. And ... mostly I just really like the word "caboose."

I'm starting to really love asserting that I can't write things, because obviously my subconscious takes that as a dare and immediately writes the hell out of those things I think I can't write. Today's edition, unsurprisingly, is Hard Core Logo fic, although it is also very, very C6D-y in that it's a crossover with Slings & Arrows. (Possibly this is because I am much less terrified of Geoffrey's POV than of Billy's? -- hey, subconscious! I can't write Billy's POV! -- which is quite funny because I find RayK's POV so very much easier than Fraser's.)

And Count Myself a King of Infinite Space, or: the one where post-film Billy and pre-series Geoffrey hang out and somehow manage to make each other less miserable. It also has unashamed Shakespeare geekery, which really is the main reason to write S&A fic, and contains a lot of my Thoughts On Hard Core Logo.

And, um, I am really quite proud of it. Look, I just wrote 5000 words on two of my favourite things in the world! (And I'm sorry there are no makeouts, but my crossovers are surprisingly gen and, really, guys, that's what due South's for.)

Some completed ficlets for your reading pleasure!

For

echoes: ( Medically Speaking; Doctor Who, Koschei/Theta )

For

polarisnorth: ( If I Changed My Haircut I Could Apply For Alien Citizenship; due South/Star Trek, Kowalski & Fraser )

For

wintercreek: ( taking it all apart; due South, Thatcher & Fraser )

For

feverbeats: ( Saturday; due South, F/K/V )

And I am unsure why I create ficlet projects like this for myself, but I really want an actual excuse to write due South fusion ficlets. If you want Frannie in the TARDIS or Kowalski the Watcher or Fraser being hit by a car and traveling in time or Welsh teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts or Vecchio as the Advisory wizard for the greater Chicago area or everyone as mutants with superpowers or, um, anything really that I have some working knowledge of the canon for, I am your woman. Propose fusions, please!
