Refuge - The author would prefer not to name the series it’s crossed with. I disagree, but I’ll follow the author’s preferences. If you’re that curious, skip to the bottom of the fic just long enough to see the names. Not that I did that. Of course not.
Characters/Pairings: Mal, Zoe, Wash, Inara, River, Simon, Jayne, Book
Warnings: None’
Summary: Serenity is hired to transport some refugees.
Comments; I have to say, at first, this didn’t quite work for me because I misinterpreted where they were going with this. However, upon reread, it works, and works really rather well. It really manages to fit both series quite nicely, and I have a huge weakness for that.
One-shot, complete.

Venificus Ex Machina - A Belgariad/CSI crossover
CHaracters/Pairings: Belgarath, Grissom
Warnings: None
Summary: Grissom deals with a strange case and a mysterious old man.
Comments: I debated long and hard about reccing this, because it’s such a very odd fic. And I’m completely unfamiliar with CSI, and don’t generally read fanfic in book fandom for many reasons. But, from my perspective, this is oddly enough an excellent outsider-perspective of Belgarath. I have a fondness for random-person-thinking-about-familiar-characters fics, and to me, this is an excellent example of the kind. Now, to a CSI fan who’s completely unfamiliar with the Belgariad, I have no idea what their impression of this fic would be. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. Besides, I have a fondness for crack that’s internally consistent.
One-shot, complete.

sweet Delight
Characters/Pairings: D, Leon, Willy, Charlie, rest of cast mentioned
Warnings: None
Summary: Count D gets one of the golden tickets
Comments: This is just such a brilliant concept executed so very well that I don’t really know what to say.
One-shot, complete.

Damnation
Characters/Pairings: D, Desire
Warnings: None
Summary: Desire comes to visit his least favorite great-grandchild
Comments: Wow. I don’t believe I hadn’t recced this already - it’s one of the very few Petshop of Horror fics that get it right. Desire is perfectly done, and his and D’s conversation is just wow. It’s one of those fics that I like so much I just don’t quite know what to say.
One-shot, complete.

quillofferings: Cat’s Paw
Loosely connected sequel to Je Chante Pour Passer le Temps
Characters/Pairings: Yoruichi, Watanuki
Warnings: None
Summary: A certain black cat visits Yuuko, and borrows Watanuki for the day.
Comments: Just…a magnificently done fic. Yoruichi’s interaction with Watanuki is just well-done, the lessons that she teaches him while still remaining largely aloof are interesting, and it just feels like both series at once. At that’s amazingly hard to do, especially when it comes to series as different as Bleach and XXXholic. (Also, the Rukia cameo made me squee. I am so easy.)

Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll
Morning After - Demyx, Zack
Kissing Cousins - Zack/Demyx
Mean Streets - Axel/Roxas ♥
Sugar and Spice - Axel/Larxene
Perks of the Job - Xigbar/Demyx
First-Time Jitters - Axel/Roxas
Warnings: Graphic sex, cousincest, age differences, consensual hatesex
Summary: Demyx is a club musician staying with his SOLDIER cousin Zack. Axel is a club performer who becomes intrigued with a street kid named Roxas. Hijinks and hot sex ensues.
Comments: Okay, this is not, by any means the deepest story I’ve ever recced. But it’s fun, and it’s well done, and the characterizations are all spot on. And I am totally and utterly converted to Zack/Demyx.
Added Sugar and Spice + hatesex warning on May 31, 2006
Added Perks of the Job on June 24, 2006.
Added First-Time Jitters on June 28, 2006.
Inter-connected but independent one-shots, ongoing.

Je Chante Pour Passer le Temps
Characters/Pairings: Byakuya, Yuuko, young Ishida Souken cameo (Ishida’s grandfather)
Warning: None
Summary: Byakuya has made a promise, and he intends to keep it. No matter who he has to deal with, or what laws he has to break.
Comments: Why had no one thought of this before? The concept of this fic is just perfect. And it is just amazingly well-executed. Byakuya’s discomfort with the whole situation, while at the same time, there’s that same titanium-hard honor about him that attracted me to him in the first place.
Author says it may be first in a series, or it could be a one-shot. I’ll leave it at that.

Smoke and Mirrors
Characters/Pairings: Yuuko, Fuji, Watanuki
Warnings: None
Summary: Another day at the shop for Yuuko.
Comments: This was one of those stories that just absolutely fit both…not series. Fit xxxHolic and fit Fuji perfectly. This is a wish that I can see Fuji asking for, because a genius who’s never had to strive can long for that. And it just works.
One-shot, complete

the war of winter
Characters/Pairings: Rukia, Jadis.
Warnings: None
Summary: When Rukia discovers her sword is the bound soul of an ancient queen of ice, she must defeat her.
Comments: The White Witch as Rukia’s zanpakutou is brilliant. And it’s beautifully written, and just made me grin with mad glee.
One-shot, complete.

Restitution (Ranma/XXXholic)
Characters/Pairings: Happosai, Yuuko.
Warnings: None
Summary: Happosai gropes the wrong woman.
Comments: Best Ranma crossover EVER. Because Yuuko’s reaction is so perfect,and so UTTERLY EVIL.
One-shot, complete.

What Would Have Followed
Characters/Pairings: Fai, Kurogane, Sakura, Syaoran
Warnings: None
Spoilers: For The Last Magician
Summary: When the group of travellers comes across a dead world, only Fai knows what happened here.
Comments: The atmosphere in this fic is just amazing. It feels like Charn. Or, ah, I think that’s the name of the dead world in The Last Magician. It has been many, many years since I read it. But anyway, the utter desolation, and Fai for once being utterly serious, and just the oppressive isolation of the world around them just works. Perfectly.
One-shot, complete.

bravecows: Partners in Crime - Lord of the Rings/Discworld
Characters/Pairings: Legolas, Gimli. Probable future Legolas/Gimli, but that’s not in evidence at the moment
Warnings: None
Summary: Gimli is an ordinary hard-working dwarf in the Ankh Morpork City Watch, when he is assigned a new partner. Who just happens to be an elf.
Comments: Yes, Gimli is reacting as to a traditional PTerry elf. I’m not sure how this is going to affect Legolas’ characterization as yet, but if this fic continues to be as good as it is, it’s going on my top ten favorite fics ever. Because it’s Legolas and Gimli in Discworld. How could I not love that?
Theoretically multi-chaptered, incomplete.

Nights of endless conversations
Characters/Pairings: Simon/Kaylee, Mal, Dream, Book, Destiny, Jayne, Death, Destruction, Wash, Zoe, Inara, Desire, Despair, River, Delirium
Warnings: None
Summary: The Endless converse with the crew of Serenity.
Comments: Wow. This is just beautifully done. The character matchups of which character talks with which Endless is very well thought out; I particularly liked Inara’s meeting with Desire and Despair. And the meeting with River and Delirium, who was once Delight, was just perfectly perfectly done and led to the absolute perfect ending line.
One-shot, complete.

Maybe Someday
Characters/Pairings: River, Delirium
Warnings: None
Summary: River is one of Delirium’s.
Comments: Why did I never think of this? It makes complete and utter sense in that way that River and Delirium make sense - sense and nonsense at the same time. And Sandman really is one of those series that can be crossed with absolutely everything, can’t it?
Notes: Sorry about not reccing. I’ve been busy with RL stuff.
One-shot, complete.

The Things I Cannot Change - A Firefly/Smallville crossover
Characters/Pairings: Simon/Lex. No, really. Mentions of Lex/Clark.
Warnings: Sex. Non-graphic rape.
Summary: When a few of Serenity’s crew run across a bald man dying in the desert, they hardly suspect how much he’s going to affect their lives.
Comments: Long, well-done, and I have no idea how well the two Smallville characters are characterized, but I can certainly see the canon characters in Firefly in their characterizations here. I thought the author did an excellent job of merging two series that I sure didn’t think it would be possible to merge. And really, I’m kind of a sucker for that. I’ll admit to being really, really doubtful that Clark in any way whatsoever resembles canon!Clark, but I’m also giving the author a fair amount of leeway there because hell, five hundred years and the death of your home planet can change a man. And Simon and Lex’s relationship was just fun.
Notes: This Firefly fanfic archive has a tendency to put all their chapters on one page if the fic’s finished, so I’m kind of torn on whether to call it a multi-chapter or not. Since I usually mention that more to let people know that they’re going to be clicking through various pages than any other reason. Not that I totally didn’t notice that it was a multi-chapter on at least one fic that I already recced from this archive or anything. Eh, well. I guess it doesn’t really matter which one I choose.
Multi-chapter, complete.

Crossover cocktail
Characters/Pairings: (Multiple drabbles, semi-colons indicate new drabbles) Yuuko, Watanuki, Aizen, Gin; Watanuki, Doumeki; Watanuki, Ichigo, Yuuko
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Soul Society arc
Summary: 1) Aizen comes to request a wish 2) Doumeki and Watanuki go to soul society 3) Watanuki and Ichigo meet
Comments: Oddly, I hadn’t thought of a XXXHolic and Bleach crossover before this, but they really do work well together. My favorite is the first, because Yuuko is utterly kickass and I like the concept. But they’re all decent.
Drabbles, complete.

Coup de grace
Coup de main
Coup d’oeil
Character/Pairings: Hisana, Rukia, Susan, Death
Warnings: None
Summary: Death adopts baby Rukia.
Comments: There are not enough words to express my love for this fic. Susan and Rukia are both among my favorite characters, and this fic concept just makes me grin happily.
Series of one-shots.

Tomodachi - a crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho and Fushigi Yuugi
Characters/Pairings: …Okay! Let’s see… Yuusuke, Kurama/Hiei, Kuwabara, Chiriko, Miaka, Tamahome, Nuriko, entire Fushigi Yuugi cast basically
Warnings: None
Summary: When the Reikai Tantei are cast in the book, shortly after Amiboshi is discovered and Chiriko is found, what changes?
Comments: Heh. This is a series I’ve liked for years now. Half of this, I’ll admit, is a nostalgia rec. But this series singlehandedly causes me to want to dig out my ancient Fushigi Yuugi, and rewatch it every single time. It’s just…I have a weak spot for crossovers that are done right. This one - I could critique how easily the Reikai Tantei are accepted by the Suzaku Seishi, but in all honesty, it was pretty well done. And I just get a nice, warm feeling whenever I read Yuusuke and Chiriko’s interactions. So, yes. I’m babbling, aren’t I?
Multi-chapter, incomplete.

hogwarts: a life
Characters/Pairings: Clow, Dumbledore.
Warnings: None
Summary: Dumbledore looks into an old friend’s history at Hogwarts
Comments: I have a weak spot for Clow fics, and this is nicely done. It gives an interesting insight into Clow’s character. And I do find Clow knowing Dumbledore very much believable.
One-shot, complete.

Sakura/Yuusuke/Lee/Gwendal - Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Kyou Kara Maou
Warnings: Polyamory
Background: In Kyou Kara Maou, slapping is an engagement. Sakura, Yuusuke, Lee, and Gwendal all managed to slap each other.
Summary: The four adjust to living together.
Comments: They’re so dysfunctional and strange. Yet oddly entertaining.
One-shot, complete.
