idealists are the cruelest monsters of them all.

1. Dear Internets: sparky77! is the best.

2. Dear Internets: maurheti is the best.

3. Dear Internets: romanticalgirl is the best.

Enablers ho! Now let's get down to business.

*I created a thank you music mix for #2 and #3, which I now feel compelled to share, because the tunes are just that awesome. Special thanks to moneyfolder for her contributions.

* On last night's Daily Show, Jon interviewed Sebastian Junger (The Perfect Storm). Mr. Junger was shilling for his new book, WAR. This book was about the time he spent embedded with Army soldiers on the Iraq/Pakistan border. It was about the troops and how they hoped for battles to stop the boredom. It was about how you could hate somebody and still work beside them. It was the most freakish sense of deja vu ever. If they had started talking about being hired to work at Hustler while on Xanax, I'd've thought Evan Wright had had plastic surgery. Don't believe me? Watch for yourself.

I've been thinking about Ben McKenzie a lot recently. Okay, I've been thinking about Ben Sherman a lot lately. No, I've been thinking about them both. In fact, there was supposed to be a small ficlet here about Ben and Cooper, but then I realized I might need to save that for something else.

In conclusion, who's seen The Losers?

I have! And maurheti has. And sparky77 has. Three of us cannot make a fandom. Okay, that's not true. ONE CAN MAKE A FANDOM (Always remember that. Ari is proof of that). I assume this is how I have 100 500 words of The Losers/Leverage for sparky77.


Leverage/The Losers
Hardison/Jensen, Eliot, Parker
Rated Crack

( My Boyfriend's Back (And You're Gonna Be in Trouble) )

To all my lurkers: It was so nice to hear from you and I assure you every day is Amnesty Day so always feel free to drop by.

FYI: there is no defense for this. There is only the crack and the crack is AWESOME. Based on some random concept that I threw out there yesterday...

For lazlet, serialkarma and sparky77, who I suspect are the only people that will actually appreciate it. Inspired by the striking resemblance between Jeremy Renner and Ben McKenzie, I present:

Southland/The Unusuals
Ben/Cooper, Walsh
Rated PG-13

A Bad Man Would Be Good For You

( It starts with a phone call. )

Yeah, um, *waves hands around vaguely* Happy Birthday antheia. Don’t say I never gave you anything.

Burn Notice/Iron Man/Alias
Michael Westen/Tony Stark; Michael/Tony/Julian Sark <-- Yes, you read that right.
Rated R


Spies > Superheroes (Or Not)


( I was an evil mastermind in my last job.  )

I'm sure many of you will see the below title and either shriek with glee or run away in horror. The story it contains is not bandom in anyway *shudders violently* it's just a shout-out to my girl, ethrosdemon who has suddenly decided to pick up the mantle of FoB so she can whack me with it. For antheia who was having a rough week.


Burn Notice f/Alias
Post-S1 finale
Michael Westen/Julian Sark; Michael Westen/Fiona Glenanne (implied) (PG-13)


This Ain't a Scene, It's a Goddamn Arms Race


(  Michael stands over him disapprovingly, holding his ever present roll of duct tape.  )

I was gonna have a big old explanation and then I said fuck it. This is crack. Crack needs no explanation.

Battlestar Galactica/Stargate: Atlantis
Multiple pairings (m/m, m/f)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Title from 'Once in a Lifetime' by the Talking Heads.
Summary: And you may find yourself asking, how did I get here?
ETA: Now with art by slodwick. Yay, Slod!


And You May Find Yourself Living in a Shotgun Shack


(  The initial transition and integration between the Galactica and the Atlantis contingents hadn't necessarily gone *badly*... There had been a lot of rank confusion and a lot of scuffles over stupid things like who ate the last of the blue Jell-o, but Kara had promised to stop taunting Dr. McKay, and he'd eventually put hot water back on in the east tower, and everything after that had seemed pretty tame to Cally.  )

Me: I should totally write a Ocean's 11/Lost X-over
sparky77, thepouncer and serialkarma: Yes, do it now!
Me: I was joking.
*crickets*
Me: Guys? Guys?! Fuck.

Very short and dedicated to the above I present:

You Can't Have Confidence Without a C-O-N

( The trouble started with the postcard from Alabama, which Danny knew was a bad sign, because Danny knew Rusty and Rusty would never go to Alabama. Ever. Unless there was something important involved. Like a con. And Danny hated it when Rusty did jobs without him )

I said: I see the inability to write when I want as a kind of mental constipation.

serialkarma said: The world does not have enough Due South/Dead Like Me crossovers, in which George runs into Dead Bob and leaves feeling thoroughly confused and disgruntled...

This is bran.

due South/Dead Like Me
( Modern Life is Rubbish )

First order of business, rosenho put together a cracking SV ezine together, Ground Zero. Check out all her hard work.



Second order of business, yesterday was lalejandra's birthday, and she's so low key that she didn't even blow anything up to celebrate. Unfortunately I was, err, indisposed yesterday and didn't get to write her anything, but this week? Oh, it's on.

Also, a uh wee crack-fic! crossover for the birthday girl.
Smallville/Harry Potter
Rule #2,812: Beware the Charming Pretty People with Wands
( Lex had rules about fucking people who held him at gunpoint, but a rather long stick wasn’t a gun, strictly speaking )

First of all, today is tigress35’s birthday. Happy Birthday, baby girl! Many happy returns of the day, I hope you get everything you want, naked men included!

Secondly, this is kinda sorta written for you (if it's your thing), but also for bonibaru and lalejandra and when Marshall’s involved I have to think of ethrosdemon. Did I mention that this is straight up crack!fic?

Inspired by this conversation, I present the mother of all crossovers:

SV/RPS/HP/LOTRips, or
Lex Luthor/Eminem/Draco Malfoy/Viggo Mortensen and *Guests* in:
Welcome to the Dark Side
( A wizard, a rap star and a multi-billionaire with political aspirations and questionable ethics walk into a bar. )
