Crossover RecsNewest recs added to the end of the list.
Yugi, Ryou, and Malik are invited to Hogwarts; however, dark forces have discovered the existence of the Millennium Items and plot to use them for their own means... Notes: While it may sound a bit cliché, this fic is done really well. Both the YGO guys and the gang at Hogwarts are IC...and the interactions between Malfoy, Yami Bakura and Malik are priceless. ^_^ Plenty of humor...this fic flows really well; it really reminds me of the actual HP novels, in how it deals with the gang as being kids in school, in addition to whatever else is going on. ^_^ ******
Title:
Roll the
Bones Yugi, Seto, and Ryou find chaos in Cascade, Washington. Notes: When I first read this story, I had no idea it was even a crossover...(I found it via a direct link; hence, I never read the summary, which stated it was YGO/Sentinel)...And with a series I'd never even heard of, no less. Yet, I enjoyed it immensely and had no trouble following it. (ETA: I've since seen The Sentinel, and loved it. This rec has been updated to reflect this.) Very well-written, with both casts of characters neatly IC. Nice descriptions...I also really liked how the author dealt with the magical qualities of certain characters, that are never really explored in canon. This fic does have a couple of references to events in some of the author's other crossover fics, so it might help if you read them, too. I hadn't on my first time through, and it wasn't a big deal...just a couple of "Huh...Okay...When did that happen?" moments. My only complaint is that there are a few aspects of the Sentinel side of things that aren't quite right. Some are really minor (like Jim calling Blair by name the majority of the time), but some are a bit more annoying. Like, Blair's a cop and has his doctorate? Um, how? There are at least two mild references to the series finale, so I assume this fic is set post-TSbyBS. So, if Blair's going to have his doctorate, I'd like to know how that happened. Also, the implication that random people (i.e., Brown and Rafe, and others) have seen Jim's jaguar, Incacha, etc. That just doesn't make sense...no one but Jim (and once, Blair) has seen these things, and it doesn't even fit with this fic's notion of magic users being in on things like this. Also, everyone in Major Crimes knowing all about Sentinels and Guides, and accepting it as true? Um, no. Simon and Megan, yes...everyone else, not without an explanation. Heck, just give me a line about Jim or Blair or Simon assuring them that it was true, and the reasons for Blair's announcement; that'd be acceptable. ...Wow, long rec. XD But I really liked this fic, so it's not surprising that I had a lot to say about it. ******
Title:
Smoke Gets
In Your Eyes Yuki gets accidentally involved in a mission, and naturally Shuuichi follows. Notes: *Purrs* A cross between two series I love. And well-written, too. Both the WK guys and the Gravi cast are IC...the interactions between Yuki and Aya are very nice, and totally believable. Also...am I the only one who doesn't immediately think that Omi and Shuichi look alike? ^^;; Although, that may have to do with the fact that I tend to think of Shu as early-manga-Shu, as in before he cut his hair. At that point, he doesn't look like Omi...Also, I think anime-Shu looks more like Omi than manga-Shu...but maybe that's just me. ^^;; ****** Title:
History of
Magic Dumbledore decides it's time for a change, hiring a new...
History of Magic prof! A History of Magic prof with tri-colored hair, violet
eyes and an unusual affinity for black leather. Notes: Another YGO/HP crossover...though this one is markedly different from the one by White Angel Chan. Instead of being a student, Yugi's a professor. Very amusing...nice interaction between Yugi and Yami, too. I'm interested to see where the author will take this...too bad it isn't finished yet! ****** Title:
Foreign
xChange,
Whistling
Past the Graveyard,
Opening
Moves,
I Just Called Yugi, Anzu, Seto and Mokuba visit Bayville... chaos ensues. Notes: Another of Vathara's excellent crossovers...yet again, crossing Yuugiou with a series that I'm not familiar with. Still, like "Roll the Bones", this is a good fic. ****** Title: Fading
Footsteps Edward Elric's quest for home takes him to Hogwarts and into the life of one Tom Marvolo Riddle. Harry Potter/Fullmetal Alchemist crossover. Notes: This fic is one of those rare crossovers that is believable, despite the fact that the two series do not seem horribly compatible, at first. The cast, especially Ed, were nicely IC, and the writing is well done. ****** Title:
Foundation of
Truth Stranded in another world, Edward finds himself ripped through time and space. As luck would have it, he lands in the very place that might be able to help him get home – Hogwarts. Post Series FMA, HP AU Book six cross. Notes: Yeah, another FMA/HP crossover. I swear, it seems the only way to get me to read HP fic is to cross it with another fandom. >_> But, seriously. This one has some rather interesting points, such as how Ed interacts with Harry, their similarities and the like. Very nice. ****** Title:
The Best Defense,
Sidefics, and
A Good Offense The Best Defense Voldemort's return has caught the attention of more than the Order of the Phoenix. The Spirit World's best are on the case, but can they handle Hogwarts (or Harry) without blowing their cover? A Good Offense Another year at Hogwarts, and, as always, last year's events have consequences. Notes: This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite fics ever. Yeah, it's another HP crossover. I'd never have thought of crossing it with YYH, but this author really makes it work. I really love Genkai as the new DADA teacher, and seeing Yuusuke-tachi dealing with the wizarding world...very interesting, and very well done. Plus, the Kurama+Neville interactions are just priceless! =D ****** Title:
Shinigami Switching The following three drabbles were written as part of a "crossover" challenge on deathnote100. I accept no responsibility... people kept egging me on. Notes: Ha! Oh, this is beautiful. Raito having to deal with Tsuzuki...and poor Hisoka! ****** Title:
Written
on the Air Death Note/Weiss Kreuz crossover for deathnote100. The ending of the first drabble may make more sense if you remember the third part of rule number 5. Notes: I really liked this. It was neat to see how each member of Weiss reacted to owning the Death Note differently...and I think this author really nailed their characterization. ****** Title:
Untitled Nobody had told him about this when he became a Shinigami. Notes: Another nifty YnM-DN cross. These two series seem to work well together. ^^ ******
Title:
Falling Forever
and
Catch
Me When I Fall Falling Forever A case of mistaken identity leads Omi to some of the best - and the worst - moments of his life. Catch Me When I Fall The sequel to Falling Forever. Someone is determined to see Bad Luck gone, and Omi may be the only thing standing between the band and death. Notes: *Squee* I really, really like these fics. I could do without the occasional fangirl Japanese, but it's such a minor thing, I don't really mind that much. And they made me ship my very first crossover pairing; Hiro/Omi is <3 ****** Title: Chance EncountersAuthor: kiestje Series: Saiyuki/Gravitation Genre: General Pairings: Sanzo/Goku, Yuki/Shuichi Status: Complete Spoilers: None Summary: Yuki encounters a sympathetic soul. Gravitation Saiyuki fluff. Slight shounen-ai – YukiShuichi, SanzoGoku Notes: I like the parallels drawn between the two pairs; it really fits. ******
Title:
Untitled
Forks, Washington. Notes: Oh, my...this is just fun. I'll admit, all I know of Twilight is from the general mocking online, and this is somewhat in that vein. In other words, if you're the sort to take it too seriously, you probably won't like this. If you can laugh at your fandoms, though, you might. =) ******
Title:
A Kingdom for My Troubles A tall man, clothed in ancient Japanese robes and rather unflattering square-cut glasses, stood stonily before the window of Light's modest apartment. Notes: Okay, so this is ridiculously amusing. XD |
