Crossover explosion! (for firefox1490)

Inception Crossover fic recs!

1. POSTED TODAY: frantic_allonsy's crossover with Merlin, in which the team incepts King Arthur. Since I just saw s1 plus a few eps of s2, I consider this good timing! SO DAMN GOOD (so far, as I'm in the middle of part 2); lovely and subtle and more quiet than I was expecting. AND OH JESUS, ALSO EXTREMELY HOT!<3
   
   
2. ethrosdemon's crossover with Harry Potter, in which Arthur and Eames are wizards. Hahah, this is as close as I've come to being tempted to read the books when I've managed to avoid anything and everything to do with HP (books AND movies). I highly recommend it based on Kassie's usual writing. I probably will not read this for another couple of years. (How ridic am I right now? Yeah.)
   
   
3. butterflythread's crossover with Equilibrium, in which Arthur is a Grammaton cleric and Eames is a sense offender. Lovely and sad and hopeful; it captures the feel of the movie perfectly. <3
   
   
4. finkpishnets's crossover with Brick, in which Brendan receives a visit from a stranger in a dream. I tend to like the ones where Arthur used to be Brendan, but this one's got a unique idea. Slightly more Brick-focused than Inception, and I wish there were more in this verse, dammit.
   
   
5. whiskyrunner's crossover with Mysterious Skin, in which Arthur used to be Neil. All kinds of angst and fuckery. Poor Arthur Neil Eames is all I can say. It's heart-wrenching (as always) to read her stuff, but the end (and the two one-part sequels) are SO worth it!
   
   
6. pyrimidine's crossover with Time Traveler's Wife, in which Eames travels a lot. And Arthur waits. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I may have recced this before, but it deserves another. I read the book because of this fic. It is so much love, IDEK.
   
   
7. cobweb_diamond's crossover with Burn Notice, in which... I don't actually know what happens because I haven't read it yet and neither have I seen the show. So, yeah. I'm reccing based solely on the quality of Gav's writings.
   
   
8. BONUS: FANART and crossover with... RL!THARD? Now We're Cooking by red_rahl, in which EAMES IS COOKIN A TURKEY YO xX
   

I just started watching Lie to Me based on a friend's recommendation -- and realizing how similar it is to all the Holmesian shows (House, The Mentalist) out there. Which are, of course, my favorites. Well, so "just" started watching means I saw season 1 over the holiday and am looking forward to starting season 2. It's a wee bit more episodic than I usually like, but am enjoying the characters despite some of the cheesiness inherent in depicting the workings of the main character's talent in reading people's true emotions based on "microexpressions".

So yes, I WOULD NOT BE AGAINST AN INCEPTION/LIE TO ME CROSSOVER FIC RIGHT NOW.

Bugger. I thought I was getting on top of my Inception reading.

It's funny, though. I had an epic Batman/Inception crossover of epicness stewing in my head (and in twenty pages of my notebook), and someone only went and posted the first three chapters of a fic with the exact same concept the other day, My face, it was like this: o_0.

*tears up notebook*

And now I shall go bury my woe in the Merlin crossover.

(Disclaimer: I am totally jazzed that someone else in the world thought of writing a Batman/Inception crossover.)

Ahahah, there's also a Burn Notice crossover WIP, but I haven't seen BN or read the fic yet. I doubt I'll see the show but I'll probably read the fic anyway (...and dammit, I have to find the link again somehow).

BATMAN/INCEPTION CROSSOVER?! DO WANT!!! Please to be linking it? and/or writing it YOUR WAY?!

Don't feel too bad -- this fandom seems to be even more hive-mind than usual. <333! ALSO, I DON'T THINK THERE IS A WAY TO STAY ON TOP OF THIS FANDOM. I AM DOING THE BEST I CAN (which includes reading illicitly at work and also sleeping only when I cannot possibly keep my eyes open anymore) AND I STILL CAN'T. =(

The Batman/Inception crossover is by lauralot over here. Haven't read it yet, but I'm in the middle of frantic_allonsy's Merlin one, and ... omgitisawesome.

The possibility for crossovers is endless, isn't it?

[osaraba]

YES!

And yes! That Merlin one IS AWESOME!

A friend of mine is thinking about hosting a crossover fic meme! IT COULD BE EPIC. =D

omg favorite person ever!!

you had me at crossover :D

btw fics like Requiescat are the REASON I LOVE CROSSOVERS *faints in joy*

[osaraba]

HAHAH FUCK YES!

BTW, I meant to reply to your entry asking for help with the crossover fic meme. I could help, maybe? Not sure how much time I really have to devote, but let me know what you need and I can try?

AND AND I just finished the Time Travel one (OMG TWO FAVORITE NON SEX THINGS EVER TIME TRAVEL AND CROSSOVER!!!) You've made me so happy.

Coolio. I don't actually know what I need beside someone to hold my hand and tell me I'm not crazy. And someone to help me pimp. If coughwhencough I do it I'm going to do the first "round" on my LJ and depending on how many people are like interested maybe make a comm for it.

OH MY GOD I have a HUUUUUGE weakness/kink for time travel stories. Like, I absolutely HATE romance (movies) and chick flicks but if it's time travel, I'll make an exception and usually end up liking it. I'm immensely pleased to have brought a TT crossover to your attention! =D

Looking forward to the meme! I don't have a huge readership but will try to help you pimp it/otherwise help as much as possible.

Time travel makes me squee no matter how much I hate the pairing the show, anything it its time travel i will probably read it (thats why I watched Journeyman for however long it was on).

OMG I MADE UP RULES!!!! THis is really going to happen. God help me. I'm going to PM you what I just spent the last 20 minutes doing.
