Because I need a little distraction and I want to get a little writing practise even before I start railing against the Yuletide deadline:

From daegaerGive me the premise for a crossover (example: someone in a fairytale meets the devil, who turn out to be Crowley), a fusion (example: Midsomer Murders and Weiss Kreuz fusion: the peaceful English

Dead Like Me/Better Off Ted?

[buddleia]

I have to admit I would LOVE to read George working as a temp at Veridien Dynamics. Ideally with Mason turning up and Veronica's clinically horrified reaction to him.

Re: Dead Like Me/Better Off Ted?

[jamjar]

It was surprisingly hard to find temps, despite the crushing job market, and current corporate approved way forward was keeping Phil and Lem busy in the lab. In the meantime, Ted made a note of what agencies would still send people in to Viridian Dynamics and made a point of meeting anyone that made it through induction and had signed their confidentiality notice, waiver of legal rights and living will

Lord, woman, I could hear every voice note-perfect in my head and I've read it three times! Corker!

Re: Dead Like Me/Better Off Ted?

[jamjar]

Thanks for the prompt-- I am so fond of both of those shows. Season two starts on the 8th!

Crossovers! My favorite!

Bandom/Chrestomanci: Bob has many lives. This explains a lot.

Alternatively, write me the verse where Kon ended up in Chicago after escaping from Cadmus--let's say he meets Patrick Stump?

[jamjar]

Surprisingly, it's not actually Frank that figures it out first, because Frank just assumed Bob will be there, or be around somewhere. It's Mikey that notices all you have to do is say Bob's name, his whole name, and then he's there, banging in through the bus door or pushing back a bunk curtain or banging on the bathroom door and complaining that they should check there's something on the roll before they go, for fuck's sake

[harborshore]

OH. Your Bob, my dear, he is really, really on. This whole thing is great, all of them feel like themselves, ugh, and the last line, my heart, my heart. Of course, now I want this whole universe (why don't more people write insane crossovers? They're totally my favorite genre), but that's a natural consequence. This is perfect on its own, too.

[jamjar]

Aw, thank you! I was really torn with which prompt to do. Kon and Patrick would just be a world of <3.

And, you know, you could always write something in that universe yourself (she hints subtly).

H2G2/Dr Who

Zaphod, the Doctor, Vogon Poetry and Pan Galactic Gargleblasters (whichever Doctor you like!).

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy as this to say about Time Lords

That's fantastic! You've really got the 'voice' of the guide down. :D

When Willow Rosenberg came over to England for training, one of her tutors was Anathema Device.

[jamjar]

Willow Rosenberg hates prophecies. She hates the way they never make sense until it's too late, the way they're only ever partly true, but it's usually the worst part and most of all, the way they mean that you're destined to always, always make the mistakes you never wanted to.

Anathema's left the book on the table. It has to be deliberate. She's practically surgically attached to that thing, it has to be deliberate that she's left it there where Willow could just walk over and turn over a page and read it.

If she was Buffy, maybe she'd just say screw you to the book and say something about how you don't have to live by someone else's destiny, we can make our own. Or maybe she'd already have gone over there, turned the page and read instead of hovering over here like a complete wuss.

But it's knowledge and ignoring it won't make it go away and it's right there, and if she wasn't meant to know, it wouldn't be, right? That's how fate worked.

Itte shalle all worke out for the befteOh. Huh. Not what she was expecting, but

[cdave]

Gads! That was lovely thanks.

Perfect for the Willow of that moment.

[jamjar]

Thank you for the prompt. Good Omens lends itself oddly well to crossovers.

Jane (the mentalist) and Miles (Vorkosigan) attempt to negotiate on behalf of their respective bosses.

[jamjar]

"Frakly, I think it's not surprising you're so reluctant to have us in your territory, even though part of you feels guilty because you know you should be more willing to have offworlders here, it's good for your people to see we don't all have four arms and a fetish for genetic engineering. You would have been much better off if you'd had siblings, you know. It would have taken the edge off that tendency to warp the world around you. And frankly, I've never been more relieved that Lisbon is petite," Jane said. "This cake really is incredible. Do you think I can get some to take away with me

[brown_betty]

Wheee! Jane's problem is that Miles' reaction to being profiled by someone who sees too much is either an oath of loyalty or "Mommy!" Jane can't quite process either of those.

[jamjar]

Ha! And the more Jane uses all those talents that normally disconcert people, put them on edge and make them react, the more Miles relaxes as it pings those familiar, familial notes in his head. One of my favourite bits in the books is when Miles is talking about dealing with the Cetaganadan emperor and how he grew up playing with Gregor, so "emperor" to him is tagged with identifiers like "someone good to play Hide and seek with".

Also, Miles has a tendency to draw people to him and Jane isn't madly keen on his team having outside friends...
