Top 5 Crossovers

Top 5 Crossovers
(asked by anothercave )
To be honest, I'm not much of a crossover person, but! This question made me think about crossovers and ideas I'd definitely read in a fic if somebody wrote them (even though they might be occasionally crack!fastic). And it turned out to be lots of fun!
Statistics: 4/5 of the crossovers include a Whedonverse show, 3/5 Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 5/5 include at least one show with a female lead.
#5: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Firefly
First of all, I'd like my crossovers to make some kind of sense. This one does. Really! Okay. So both is set in "our" world, right? Yeah, Firefly is basically a long time ahead, in a galaxy far far away, but still, it's the future of "our" world. Doesn't matter! My idea crossover of these two shows wouldn't take the Buffy characters and put them on Serenity. Neither would her crew mysteriously land in Sunnydale. No, it would take the rules of the Buffyverse and apply them on the Firefly 'verse. I'm mostly thinking the Slayers. What if River is the Slayer? Or any other (OC) girl? The "normal" world doesn't know about the Slayers in neither case, so I can see it happen in a fic if done right.
#4: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Harry Potter
My reasoning was similar as with Firefly, but the logic of this one is ruined by the fact that both 'verses have magic and it naturally function differently. Ah, whatever, it's not like everything in the Buffyverse always make sense. ;-) And, I mean, Hogwarts is full of teenaged girls; any one of them could be the Slayer. Alternatively: Giles/Wesley/Ethan/William/Liam studying at Hogwarts. Heh. Crack, I know.
#3: Gilmore Girls/Veronica Mars
Don't you think Lorelai is the coolest TV mom ever? Don't you think Keith is the coolest TV dad ever? Don't you think their daughters are pretty (absolutely) awesome, too? Hm, we're lucky both Keith and Lorelai are single! Come on, don't you think they would be epic together? I would love to see that, I really would. (Sorry, Luke, I love you!)
#2: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Twilight
This one's solely for the lulz. I do love my ...and then Buffy staked Edward. The End t-shirt.
#1: Dollhouse/anything
This one's my favorite. Imagine this: Dollhouse can co-exist with pretty much any real-life setting. What if a character from [insert show] finds out another character is a Doll? What if the character orders a Doll? What if a RL person orders Dolls to play characters from their favorite show? (This was inspired by a fan-made play from a Czech con.) I think this crossover might open lots of creative possibilities.
