Crossovers

Avengers/Burn Notice

Fishing Job by amcw177
Coulson tries to recruit Michael Westen for the Avengers. Heh. Cool. Now I want the sequel where Michael and Natasha remember old times.

Avengers/Discworld

You must come in at the door by petra
Some of Tony's extended family show up for a visit. He's not thrilled. HILARIOUS.

Avengers/The Hunger Games

Five Avengers who were Hunger Games Champions (and one who wasn't) by pearldrop
Super-ouchy fusion of Avengers with the Hunger Games. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Avengers/X-Files

Pay No Attention to the Men Behind the Curtain by JeziBelle
Coulson looks to the Lone Gunmen when he needs to disappear. Fix-it fic all around. <3

Crossovers

Fringe/The X-Files

Reason by wendelah1
Mulder and Scully on the Other Side. Mulder gets ambered. Scully will do what it takes to get him back. I enjoyed the way they fit into the altverse.

Leverage/Sherlock

The Crossover Job by scrunchy
Really lovely Sherlock/Leverage crossover. Sophie and Lestrade have known each other from way back. "Why aren't you Chief Inspector Lestrade yet?" Sophie ran her fingers over the letters on his nameplate, "Someone I need to take care of?"

"Please don't Sophie any of my colleagues."

"'Sophie' them? I'm a verb!"

"Oh, you're a verb, all right."

"Do you know what I missed the most? Well - one of the things. It's how when you say things in that low voice, they don't even have to make sense - 'oh, you're a verb all right' - they're just incredibly sexy. It's a talent I don't think you know you've got."

Leverage/White Collar

Twice is a coincidence by Petra
Adorable crossover where Jones ends up with a pet felon of his own, one Alec Hardison. Things do not go as planned, at least for the FBI. Adorable and hilarious.

Jones does not punch him; that would be brutality. But he's tempted. He grits his teeth for a second and thinks about all the cases he's chased Hardison on--tax fraud, messing with international bank accounts, hacking systems Jones had never heard of--and how fast they all turned to nothing. "Don't let him touch anything with buttons or a battery; he's been convicted on two counts of computer-related fraud and those are just the ones we could finally pin on him. He's here as a--" Jones is really coming to hate the word "--consultant."

Burke raises his eyebrows. "I didn't realize I was setting a trend."

"I kind of wish you hadn't," Jones says.

Crossovers

Alice in Wonderland/Harry Potter
Curioser and Curioser by Blythely
One Saturday Hermione remembers that there was a girl who fell down a rabbit hole and wonders what happened to her after that. Lovely.

Supernatural/Lucifer
Faster Than a Roulette Wheel by Scy
Lucifer visits the roadhouse and has a few choice words for Dean. Lucifer's a canny, twisty bastard, and I like that Dean is able to figure him out, to some degree. Lucifer's assessment of the brothers, and why Dean is the one he approaches, rings true.

*

Supernatural/Some Kind of Wonderful
Kissing Lessons by dotfic
Cool crossover in which Watts gets the attention she deserves from the new boy at school. Dean is lovely here, and he and Watts play off each other nicely.

*

Supernatural/Terminator 2
Once Upon a Time in the West by marinarusalka
John Winchester meets Sarah Connor. Ungodly hotness, with a side of snark, ensues. *fans self*

*

Supernatural/The X-Files
Late Nite at the Sudzy Dudz by se_parsons
"Don't argue with the FBI man covered in bullshit, Dean [...] That's pretty much guaranteed to not end well for anybody."
Hee! Scully runs into the Winchesters at the laundromat. Wonderfully in character and hilarious.

West Wing/The X-Files

The Right To Silence (unnecessarily wordy remix) by Delightfully Eccentric
Oh, what a perfect crossover - the Bartlet White House is in full cover-up/this is not a cover-up mode of late season 2 and Mulder's on the trail of lies being perpetrated at the highest level. Brilliant. Plus, Donna gets to be smart, and CJ gets to have smoochies with Mulder. I enjoyed this a lot.

XMM/Star Trek: The Next Generation

Where No Mutant Has Gone Before (The Split Infinitive Remix) by Alara Rogers
Charles Xavier wakes up on the starship Enterprise and everyone, naturally, thinks he’s Captain Picard. It’s an obvious and seemingly unworkable crossover, but it totally works. I love the Q-voice in this.

XMM

For Now (The Fuck Waiting Remix) by Katherine
Katherine, bless her, is an ambitious soul, and she chose to remix not one story, but a series, and not just any series, but the seminal For Now series by Jenn (which I'm fairly certain I recced a long, long time ago), which tracks the evolution of Marie into Rogue. The original is strictly from Marie’s POV, and sometimes, it’s hard to see what, exactly, Logan is thinking. Well, Katie gives it to us straight up, in a pitch-perfect, dead-on Logan-voice. He can see the potential in Marie, see the woman she could become, if she’d only let herself, and so he waits and watches and teaches her until she finally, finally comes to realize that you can’t go through life scared of everything, especially not yourself. That living is being vulnerable, and not just because you have life-sucking skin. Funny, sad, uplifting, romantic, this story has everything.

Alias
Airs Water Places by vanzetti
Jack and Sark search for Sydney. Sharp, clean prose, dead on characterization, just an all around brilliant fic.

*

Alias/X-Files
Resenting Paris by Shrift
Weiss is in Paris on a mission, in place of Vaughn. He's meeting a contact, who turns out to be Alex Krycek. Hot up against the wall sex ensues. Nummy. (crossover with XF)
