selenakFirst, crossover goodness from the Multiverse ficathon (my own story is due on Wednesday, and I revel in the smugness of having finished it last week):
Battlestar Galactica/ Star Trek: The Next Generation:
Birth, In Progress: Stop me if you've heard this before: once upon a time there was an android, not content with being the way he was, looking to evolve. It's a Cavil meets Data story, andbagheera_san does something absolutely awesome with the encounter between these two. The characterisation for both is awesome, as is the way other characters from their respective universes are used (being me, I was especially impressed by what bagheera_san does with the screwed up Cavil 'n Ellen relationship, and Data talking to Picard about the Borg and different ways to reach perfection. Go! Read!
Dune/ Star Wars:
A Sunset On The Road, Reappearing: in which Leia, Luke, Han and Chewie make it to the Dune verse at some point between Dune and Dune Messiah. Told in Paul Atreides/ Mua'dib's pov, which is no mean feat in itself as his state of mind during that era is not, shall we say, easily to comprehend, plus Paul isn't a sympathetic character (imo, imo) anyway once he's reached Mua'dib stage, and the story doesn't pretend otherwise. It's lyrical, has an awesome Alia and Leia, great cameos for Luke (that other child of a desert planet), and offers layers upon layers. Truly excellent.
In the not-crossover department, I found during the weekend:
Astonishing X-Men:
Equus Caballus: in which Scott Summers and Agent Abigail Brand have an absolutely priceless conversation. A short vignette, but it captures Brand perfectly, and this makes me so very happy, let me tell you that.
