Give me two characters from two different fandoms with which I am familiar, and I will invent a relationship for them.
Alias, Angel, Buffy, American Gothic, Babylon 5, Blake's 7, new BSG, Farscape, Firefly, Highlander, Star Wars, Star Trek (any incarnation save Enterprise), X-Men movieverse and within limits (am still catching up) comicverse: bring it on.

Date: 2006-11-01 09:15 pm (UTC)Given the time the good Doctor (no, the other one) spent in the holosuite, and the rather entertaining adventure they had the last time, Garak invited himself along into a further adventure. This one didn't star Julian Bashir, Secret Agent, it starred Julian Bashir as Giacomo Casanova, visiting Paris. Garak refrained to comment on the obvious.
At any rate, instead of scamming the French court via a lottery, Bashir got into an argument with someone named D'Alembert who was there to petition someone about a dictionary and its publication. Or something like that; Garak didn't pay too much attention, because he made an acquaintance of his own. (Naturally, Garak deduced who the most intelligent member of the court was at once.) They had a delightful conversation about doctor, part of whose charm was that they talked to much and were just that bit out of reach for a permanent relationship, so one could always wonder. And about gardening.
(Garak was always annoyed nobody took his claims about having been a gardener on Romulus seriously; he had spent two years in that function there, and cover or not, had actually enjoyed it more than he had tailoring at first. He missed it.)
Afterwards, as he and Julian Bashir grew more and more distant and the war grew worse and worse, as he had to work against his own people and get hundreds of them killed in order to end the Dominion's rule, he found himself returning to that holosuite program on his own. Just for an hour of conversation over chocolate or coffee in exquisite porcellain cups made of photon particles. Aside from her wit, there was a wistfulness in her at odd moments, and he blamed his susceptibility for this for the fact that one day, he found himself saying:
"I used to look at the stars like an appalling adolescent, trying to find Cardassia. These days, I try not to see it."
"I picked a star once," she replied. "It is still waiting for me, and I try not to look for it too often. Until I can claim it, the candles of Versailles will have to do... and we have such flattering candle light here, Monsieur."
Clearly, someone had messed up with Bashir's programm, Garak thought, and then decided she was talking metaphorically.
"It is made for hiding," he agreed.
"For a while," she said, and her smile was altogether far too aware for a hologramm.

Date: 2006-11-01 09:51 pm (UTC)There was some rescue expedition which Magneto joined up on, not bothering to explain his reasons. He's being written by Chris Claremont and thus we can assume subtext. Anyway, he is the only one who manages to track down that crack in time (a sense of magnentism helps) and ends up going through it as well. Arriving somewhat later on B5 than Charles does, he ends up getting invited to Londo's big ascension day party as well; all the new arrivals are. At the party, Erik and G'Kar quickly get into an argument about effective methods of resistance fighting. Charles makes a move as if to interrupt, Londo tells him not to spoil the fun, and lo and behold, Charles thinks about it, looks at the two arguing parties - and doesn't interfere. He does end up playing cards with Londo in the meantime, though. (No one else would by then; they know Londo cheats, after all. But that's okay, because Charles does now and then, too. (Not in games with Erik, but with aliens? That's different.)
Londo, beaten despite cheating, goes on to open his presents, and events proceed as we know them to. Later, once he's left medlab and said goodybe to the wives, he tracks down Charles Xavier again and invites him for a return match. Charles is a bit embarassed, despite knowing Londo cheated as well.
"Never mind," Londo says cheerfully, "we married man must stick together."
Charles is about to protest he's not married, but by that time Erik has figured out how to reopen the crack in time so they can return to the present and does so without asking, dragging Charles along. What did you expect him to do?

After all, would Julian Sark allow himself to be trapped among the homeless and unshaven? Besides, Bashir as the only doctor around had other worries.
Shortly before they left, though, he saw one of the police guards take a look at the fellow and shout: "Julian Sark!" at him. Whereupon there was some chase and run, the end of which Bashir never got to see because they were beamed back on the Defiant.
Damm, he thought. He could have asked Sark for his autograph.
