This is brilliant. Brilliant characterization, brilliant emotions, brilliant humor and angst and love.<br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><cite>"There, see?" he says. "They're not such bad guys."<br /><br />"They smell wrong," Matt insists stubbornly.<br /><br />Nonetheless, he picks up a sandwich and bites into it. True, his chewing is moody and petulant, but what matters is that he's eating at all. Foggy retreats to the doorway of the kitchen with his older double, satisfied.<br /><br />Of course, with two Matts in the room, the peace only lasts another five seconds.<br /><br />"You're no bouquet of roses yourself, pal," mutters Ginger Matt.<br /><br />One comment and the two of them devolve into childish sniping at each other. Foggy wonders if it's because they're too alike or if it's just because Matt is a contrary, antisocial duck.<br /><br />"Really?" he says when the arguing hasn't abated after several minutes, and it looks like his double agrees by the way he's pinching the bridge of his nose. "And can you please take off that mask, Matt? I <strong>can</strong>not take you seriously."<br /><br />For about ten seconds, Matt's lips are pressed together in his typical stubborn 'Foggy is right but I don't want to admit it' expression. But in the end he does slide the black cloth up off his face and toss it aside – revealing sweaty, ruffled hair and a very grumpy tilt to his eyebrows. Other Foggy's breath catches. Which, like. Same. Foggy gets that. So much.</cite><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=coprime_recs&ditemid=264853" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2011-12-31:1347686:262305Xover (Doctor Who/X-Files): The Flexible Concept of Tomorrow by finisterre2024-01-05T03:12:35Z2024-01-05T03:12:35Zpublic0<a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/134915">The Flexible Concept of Tomorrow</a> (Donna-Mulder, Mulder/Scully | PG13 | 11,244 words): Five time Donna and Mulder meet plus one time for each of them they don't remember.

The bridge is so much floating matchwood and ahead, a fireball consumes the center of a densely packed wood. He walks towards the crash site, flashlight in one hand, gun in the other, one part scared to five parts thrilled at the thought of seeing a ship at last.<br /><br />He catches a glimpse of red hair ahead of him and just for a moment, his spirits leap at the thought that Scully pushed aside her objections and came out here after all. As he gets closer he realizes that the woman isn't Scully. She's about five inches too tall, longer hair, more broadly built and the jacket's brown leather. There's something vaguely familiar about her. She's also walking very fast in the wrong direction, her breath blowing out in white clouds as she labors up the hill.<br /><br />"Ma'am," he calls out. She turns around. She's older than Scully, with a scowl on her narrow face. She's muttering under her breath. "Ma'am, I need you to move away from the crash site. It could be dangerous."<br /><br />"Should've known you'd be here, Mulder," she says, in an accent he immediately identifies as from London. "Great big trouble magnet, you are; just like him."<br /><br />"How do you know my name?" he asks, the hairs on the back of his neck prickling.</cite><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=coprime_recs&ditemid=262305" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2011-12-31:1347686:261715Xover (Daredevil/Marvel): A rose in a fisted glove (love the one you're with) by QueenWithABeeThrone2024-01-02T21:52:27Z2024-01-02T21:52:27Zpublic0<a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/4380155">A rose in a fisted glove (love the one you're with)</a> (Foggy/Matt | PG13 | 1,014 words): 616-comics Matt and Foggy end up in Neflix Matt and Foggy's world; 616!Matt and Netflix!Foggy hook up.

Excerpt:
<cite>Frances says they argued like an old married couple. She says the man Mulder is tall, but not too tall, and that his features are distinguished and his eyes are shadowed by old pain that will never be forgotten. She says she offered them a lovely Danish Modern sofa, but that Agent Scully said they had no way to get it back to DC.
The FBI agents - if that is indeed what they are - do not seem to mean us harm. However, appearances can be deceiving. Agents from a Vague, Yet Menacing, Government Agency have been seen following them.

This is so funny. It perfectly captures the humor of <i>The Middleman</i>, and Aquaman from <i>Batman: The Brave and the Bold</i> fits in perfectly with that humor.<br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><cite>"My formal uniformed friend!" the big man bellowed. "A pleasure as always." He grabbed the Middleman's hand and shook it, then followed the gesture with a slap to the back that almost made Boss stagger. Wendy blinked, wishing she could see what would happen if this guy took on Sensei Ping. Whoa. "And who is this lovely young seaflower with you, old chum?"<br /><br />The Middleman surreptitiously flexed his hand. "Arthur, I'd like to introduce you to my partner, Wendy Watson. Wendy, this is Arthur Curry."<br /><br />Wendy recovered from the still-unaccustomed glow of pleasure at being called partner instead of trainee just in time to do a double take as the man's name registered. "Wait, Arthur Curry? <strong>The</strong> Arthur Curry? As in Aq—"<br /><br />"Ssh!" Arthur peered around the room and leaned towards Wendy, his voice lowering to a mere sonic boom.

This is fun! A couple moments where I laughed out loud, as well as a couple moments that I found touching.<br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><cite>Superman -- <em>maybe</em>-Superman -- maybe-but-holy-crap-probably-Superman -- frowned, and placed his hands on his waist. Honest to god. Hands. On his waist. John was far too manly to feel faint, but. "All right," Superman-or-whatever said, "what is going on here?"<br /><br />But Rodney gasped, and John moved his eyes to the right and realized what Rodney must have just. The kept hair. The polo shirt. The kind of psychotic blackness deep inside his eyes.<br /><br />And Rodney said, with absolute sureness and absolutely no foresight, "You're Bruce Wayne. You're Batman."<br /><br />In less than a second, Rodney was flat on his back with a Batman on top of him and an arm pressing on his throat. "How do you know that?" Batman snarled. "Who are you?"<br /><br />John moved automatically. "Let go of him." His gun was aimed at Batman's head.<br /><br />"No, Sheppard!" Rodney sputtered beneath the crushing hold.

His fingers worked independent of his mouth it seemed. Hers did too.<br /><br />"I didn't ask," she said.<br /><br />The man looked up at that, transferring his frown to her.<br /><br />Her smile slipped away. "I'm supposed to ask, aren't I?

This is a just plain fun imagining of how Scott and Reed could have met.<br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><cite>The bus doors were closing, and Scott was resigning himself to being stared at due to his shades and/or talking with eight-year-old, bespectacled Peter and his friend Harry for the entire ride upstate, when a hand thrust through the crack between the doors and someone yelled, "Please, wait!"<br /><br />A tall, gangly guy with a big backpack followed his hand through when the driver opened the doors again, then promptly fell up the stairs. As the entire bus watched in fascinated silence, he unfolded his long, bare legs, stood, and brushed off the front of his blue Camp Windy Hills polo shirt. He looked up, and his dark eyebrows immediately drew together. "Oh. Oh, dear." A quick glance down at his khaki shorts, immaculate white sneakers, and--strangely--black argyle socks.

This is one of those stories I read mostly out of curiosity on how it would even work, and, well, it's just as fun a crossover as I'd thought it would be.<br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><cite>"Oh, no," she says, smile impossibly wider. "Please, call me Barbie. Everyone does."<br /><br />He's not used to not leading the conversation, nor to the endless nicknames this century seems fit to bestow on everyone. Barbie seems too informal, too personal; it makes him uncomfortable in its perceived intimacy. Perhaps his centuries are finally catching up to him.<br /><br />Or, perhaps, it's just her.<br /><br />He tilts his head, tries it out. "Barbie."<br /><br />Something like a dimple shows in her cheek.

But the sensation of blood rushing in his head was very unpleasant, and with his wrists also tied, he was unable to either reach the ground or climb the rope above him.<br /><br />Such an excellent impression he was making on SG-1's first off world mission since Colonel O'Neill's return. He'd hoped to put off any such eventuality until such time as he had proven his competency beyond reasonable doubt... but he supposed he had ample proof by now that his new job was as subject to the whims of the fates as his old one.
