Two years after the
dissertation is made public, then retracted, Blair is given a newly online
Sentinel. Since his relationship with Jim has slowly stagnated into almost
nothing, he agrees to help Alex Krycek. Nicely done. I'm not fond of the
X-Files and any crossovers tend to give me the heebie jeebies, but this
one worked for me. |

It's the crossover of doom!
Rodney and John get sucked into an alternate universe where the physics
are all wrong. Rodney's brain melts. Who would have thunk he could be
terrorize more than the Atlantis geeks? John did. The new guys never saw
it coming. I unashamedly love this fic. Guilty pleasure or excellent
writing? I couldn't tell you 'cause I think it's excellent. |

Wolverine and Gambit get
pulled through a portal in the Hellmouth. While Giles and Willow try to
figure out how to send them home, they get involved in both the fight
against evil and getting Spike into Xander's bed. Logan dispensing the
occasional canned Cosmo-quiz style relationship advice is kind of creepy.
It's not any better with Remy, either. There's a little too much Seventeen
Magazine in the boys and Buffy-bashing is usually tedious anyway, but the
writing itself makes it good and the plot feels wonderful, as opposed to
contrived. |

There's a federal program
designed to promote communication between partners to make them a more
effective law enforcement or military unit. Or as Bobby Hobbes says, "You
say 'vacation,' I say 'new-age hippie therapist summer camp nightmare.'"
The Agency sends Bobby and Darien, the Mayor is making Simon send Jim and
Blair, and Hammond is sending Jack and Daniel. Daniel wonders, when
no one else seems to, "Why would a United States federally-sponsored
retreat take place in Canada?" This isn't slapstick or situational comedy
the way fan ficcers have been doing (and usually badly) though the plot is
certainly rife with it. The author has wonderful self-control and keeps
these guys as in character as is possible. She takes advantage of using
character to keep it amusing rather than cheeze. |

On his road trip to see
California, Xander discovers the hard way that he is an Immortal. Angel
teaches him how to sword fight and Wesley steps in has his Watcher. The
Seacouver Immortals discover him and come for a visit. The plot and
character are developed nicely, though there is a bit of telling rather
than showing here and there, where characters pause to ruminate
repetitively on their relationships. It's a disguise for exposition, but
it does make the eyes glaze while reading. |

After the end of the First
Evil, Xander is in charge of the younger potentials in Cleveland. A
gao'uld in transport to Area 51 escapes, and tries to take Xander as a
host. SG-1 wants to know why it couldn't take possession of him.
Characterization issues plagued this. The writer's in love with Xander and
the rest of the Buffy crew and makes it rather obvious by turning SG-1,
mostly Jack, into wimpified straight men (like in the Abbott and Costello
comedy routine). The writing itself is top notch and the characters are
wonderfully written. The issue is the Mary Sue-ification of Xander and
Willow at the expense of SG-1. |

Jim and Blair come through
the Stargate from an SGC and an Earth overrun by the Go'auld. Their
purpose is to find the best SGC possible to teach everything they know and
where they went wrong so maybe the Earth will win in at least one
alternate universe and will spread the knowledge to other alternities,
maybe even back to their own. Jim and Blair in Cascade know something is
wrong, but not what. It's a race against time. I love this particular
fandom crossover, so this fic was already popular with me before I opened
it. Legion follows through with the usual excellent writing and attention
to detail. Suspension of disbelief tickled in a few places for some
nose-scrunching, despite the groundwork laid in both plot and character
development. |

Willow and the newly re-formed Watcher's Council
sends Xander to Cascade to study the phenomenon of Sentinels. Blair's more
than happy to welcome him in, the Jim's a little iffy on it. An innocent
phone-call asking about Shamans later because, duh, Blair is one, and
Spike comes to Zeppo-sit and to generally be a pain in the ass for all
involved. Then he decides he wants his own Xaner. As usual, she delivers
top notch writing skills and both well written characters and a nicely
interesting plot. Though she did pull it off nicely, I had a little bit of
dubiousness of the Xander and Blair dynamic later in the
story. |

Willow's portal spell and the
Stargate hack up a serious hairball for Willow, Spike, Xander,
and SG-1. They land in a place where Sokar's forces are crawling
everywhere. Willow and Sam have to figure out how to get home. Jack has to
figure out what the hell is wrong with these people. And Spike figures out
that Sokar's Jaffa = lunch. And then the Wraith come. Getting home isn't
so easy. Wonderfully done plotline that sounds both perfectly reasonable
and I didn't completely figure out by the first rise in the plot arc.

join Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson on a mission to Peru, when Blair
Sandburg inadvertently gives them information pertaining to an
Egyptian-like site in the middle of the jungle. Curiosity drives Jim and
Blair to investigate why this information is so important to the Air

While on a remote planet, an
ancient machine turns John into a horse-like creature. With only Rodney
for company, a bond begins to develop between them. Back on Atlantis, the
returned to human form John and Rodney try to come to terms with what
happened. The occupants of a crashing ship shed a little light on the
horse-like creature and on their bond. Nicely drawn out with a good handle
on character. The Magnificent 7 people were mildly distracting in that
they were supposed to be aliens, but I did have difficulty
making that transition in my head. |

Daniel's on the run from more
than just the NID after SG-1's encounter with the addictive Light and
Shifu's dream. He meets up with Jim and Blair after an encounter with NID
thugs at Rainier's library. I was particularly impressed with the
combination of the Light and Shifu's dream to dig into Daniel's
character. |

Teal'c lets Halfrek talk him
into making a wish for companionship and Anya's wedding-that-wasn't is
suddenly avenged. Xander and Faith become a part of the SGC. The blatant
character-luuuuuuuurve is dorky and there's a lot of unnecessary
information (so did not need an exact rundown of Faith's ASVAB scores).
The writer's ability to show what's going on (most of the time) rather
than tell is very redeeming even if the characters, in particular the
reactions to Faith and Vala, are beyond a liberal ability to suspend
disbelief. "Mary Sue" is the most appropriate term for Faith and Vala,
actually. |

After the destruction of
Sunnydale, Jack O'Neill gets a phone call about Jessica Harris, her will,
and the son he never knew he had. Watchers have just as many secrets as
the SGC, particularly ones that live on the Cleveland Hellmouth with a
houseful of Slayers-in-Training. And then the NID gets involved. Superbly
written story with a nice attention to character. It wasn't hard to see
Jack as Daddy. The only problem was that it wasn't quite long enough to
delve into character and the plot. |

Daniel Jackson stumbles
across a new planetary system of humans fighting against the Go'auld after
he's been kidnapped by the Go'auld Dimme. The first of these new humans he
meets is Duo Maxwell, a shinigami that takes an unorthodox means of saving
Daniel's life when he takes the "snake-baiting" game a little too far. The
thing is that some of these humans have been genetically modified either
on purpose or through biological warfare and to them, the Tauri are their
greatest hope. I never thought anyone could pull off a convincing GW/SG-1
crossover, but this one worked because the writer resisted the urge to
play the time-travel card. The concept of the shinigami fascinated me and
I was thrilled with social construction of the Gundam Wing system. Even
without the notes at the bottom of some chapters, the research that went
into this fic was obvious. Of course, I'm such a squee-ing anime fangirl,
it's pathetic, so I'm not sure how in the way my bias is. It's at
fanfiction.net, unfortunately, so sometimes it's difficult to get pages to
load. |
