crossover recs

I updated my crossover recs page.

Take a Long Line, by Derry667. Gen, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Don Eppes, Charlie Eppes, Alan Eppes. (ca. 22,000 words)
Numb3rs/Supernatural
The Winchesters are trying to stop a psychic arsonist at CalSci, which we see through the eyes of the Eppes. I liked how competent Sam and Dean were in this story as well as the the outsider look at them.

Defect, by Kikkimax. Gen, ensemble. (ca. 39,600 words)
Criminal Minds/Supernatural
This is set after the second season finale of Supernatural. While Sam tries to get Dean out of the deal with the demon with the help of Bobby and Ellen, Dean is taken into custody by the FBI and interrogated and evaluated by the BAU team. I really enjoyed the take of the profiler team on Dean, and how they try to make sense of him and revise their opinions without ever actually buying into Dean's supernatural worldview.

Untitled snippet, by Pentapus. Gen. (ca. 230 words)
Highlander/Stargate: Atlantis
This is just a brief snippet, but it is a very neat idea to merge the mythologies of the two shows.

Take Atlantis, by Siegeofangels. Gen. (ca. 800 words)
Muppet Show/Stargate: Atlantis
This is quite short, and doesn't really have a plot beyond "the Muppets visit Atlantis", OTOH having the Muppets on Atlantis is awesome and funny.

argh.

My stupid rat somehow managed to pull out some of the stitches holding his left eye closed. Right now it is still barely closed, though it seems mostly due to one remaining stitch in the middle, but I don't see that holding until Monday (when they were supposed to come out), not with him continuing to pick at it. So I guess it's yet another trip to the vet tomorrow morning. I just hope it'll hold at least until tomorrow and he doesn't injure or harm his eye overnight. I have no idea how he even managed to pull on these. Initially I couldn't even see any of the tiny stitches or the thread.

Sigh. It's not that I don't understand that having thread in your eye/eyelids is uncomfortable and irritating, but he is not helping himself.
