I dreamt that President Obama sat on the foot of my bed and chatted with me about the Avengers movie, Mercedes Lackey's Velgarth books, and how terrible the crossover of the two would be. And then the power went out, so he went to call his wife (from his cell) to see if she had power in her part of town and suddenly I was in a large department store where taichara was grumpily making donairs on a grill that was somehow part of the checkout lane, which I then had to clean, which meant teriyakibroth had nobody to distract my mother from forcing her to try on clothes for a ridiculously long time.

Pretty sure before that there was a huge house wherein I know there were Avengers, but I could only hear them from other rooms, and also I got locked out and it rained and terrorists attacked. Actually I think the terrorist attack is somehow related to how I wound up meeting Obama.

He was pretty cool.

So, I found a ficcer who does lots of awesome stories about minor one-shot or infrequently-recurring characters from Highlander: The Series. I especially like the fics about Cory Raines, Matthew McCormick, and Carl Robinson. (Matthew taught both of the other two.) There's a load of them that are crossovers with X-Files, because Matthew is an FBI agent when we see him in the "present", and Cory was played by Nick Lea, who played Krycek on X-Files. Now, I've seen maybe three episodes of X-Files, and none of them had Krycek, but I enjoyed the stories, for the most part. I mean, an Immortal double? An Immortal running into someone who looks just like his first student? Fighting aliens? This is often cool.

{Hilariously, Matthew's Watcher is an FBI agent named Donna Sculder. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, WRITERS.}

[Ooh! Apparently the Matthew McCormick character was specifically created for the actor who played him and the producers considered giving him his own spin-off series. He ended up starring in Will & Grace instead. *sigh*]

«I wonder why there aren't more Once A Thief crossovers for Cory... or Leverage, or White Collar, or Breaking In, or...»

(I wish some of Matthew and Cory's history had actually been in the show, as opposed to just on the Watcher's CD, because it's strongly indicated that Matthew is actually the one who killed Cory the first time. Hung him for poaching the King's deer. (Cory is basically Robin Hood.) And then trained him. How did that conversation go, I wonder? XD)

There was also a pretty cool (on-going) crossover with Stargate focussing on Rebecca (Amanda's teacher) and her ability to find extraordinary objects (in the show, the Methuselah Stone; in the fics, various Alteran or Goa'uld thingies); it's an AU where Amanda died instead of Rebecca).

Also, a couple of stories assuming that Ramirez did, in fact, actually manage to teach Connor MacLeod some of his sorcerous tricks like, for example, breathing water. :Dd (I mentioned this to taichara, since she liked Conner, and she said she though he was too thick to pick that up. XD "Post-like, compared to Ramirez", she says.)

SO, ANYWAY, THE POINT OF THIS POST is that I figured I might want to watch the episodes involving Matthew, Cory, and Carl (Carl has two episodes, Matthew is in the second one of those), so I looked them up. I sort of remembered Carl, actually.

But I had forgotten he was played by Bruce A. Young. aka Captain Simon Banks from The Sentinel! with HL and TS being My Two Shows Set In Not-Seattle (Cascade and Seacouver, respectively, both meant to be expys of Seattle but filmed in Vancouver), and both having a lot of guest appearences (Immortals, criminals, Jim's old Army buddies...) I shouldn't be surprised by overlap. But it amuses me. XD

I suppose I should link to that ficcer, too. XD About half her stuff is gen, and half is slash. Check for pairing lists -- and for warnings, a few of her stories are dark. Oh! And don't miss any of the Greg Powers & Oz fics! :D They're great.

I have acknowledged, here and other places, that I have a... crossover problem. Usually this shows up on livejournal as fanfiction and roleplay, or speculation thereof.

But you see, I do fanart, too.

Cracky, cracky fanart.

Recently I uploaded some examples to my deviantArt account, and I share some with you here, so that you may boggle at my insanity. X3

First up, two Megaman X characters redesigned along My Little Pony lines.

Axl is too adorable for words

No matter how high he rears, pony Zero can't get his impressively long mane off the ground (there are some amusing disadvantages to being transformed XD)

The rest need a little bit more explanation. If you've ever watched Ronin Warriors or Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, chances are good you've seen Ryo do his signature attack (Sou En Zan or Flare Up Now, depending on show). And if you've ever seen Samurai Pizza Cats, you've very likely seen Speedy Service do that exact same thing almost. Given the latter is a parody of all kinds of things, this doesn't shock me, but once upon a time I got obsessed with a really silly idea. So, these next two fanarts are from a Ronin Warrios/Samurai Pizza Cats fusion.

Yes, that's right, catboys! And also a fox dude in pink! For some reason only the fanarts involving Warlords ninja crows ...the adversaries survived, although I have a Ronin Cats fanfic or two floating around... (and if no one stops me in time, I may post one!)

Also, when I say "obsessed"? I really mean it. Cat breeds, henshins and attacks, personality and physical descriptions, an analysis of Talpaw's organization.... Yeah. I drove everyone nuts. XD

A very young Dayhiss meets Talpaw for the first time

Dayhiss helps Sekhmet hurriedly change his clothes for a meeting with the boss after a mission

So, there you have it. I'm going to scurry off to work now and hope the men in white coats don't intercept me. XD
