RatCreature's Journal

The Old World, by aesc. Slash, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Castiel. (ca. 10,890 words)
Stargate: Atlantis/Supernatural
They all run across each other on Earth while hunting wraith. This mixed the mythologies of the two shows in a cool way. (As a side note, even though the author labelled it McKay/Sheppard slash, it read gen to me.)

What Keeps The Light, by Eisoj5. Gen, Dan Vasser, Sarah Connor. (ca. 3,000 words)
Journeyman/Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I'm a bit ambivalent about this one, because I would have liked to learn so much more of what happened. In a way it is more the start of what could have been an longer story. OTOH a timetravel crossover mixing Journeyman and Dan's involuntary timetravel with the Sarah Connor Chronicles is such a great fit, and I really like the setup here and the possibilities their meeting here opens.

Shotgun, by July. Gen. (ca. 18,000 words)
Friday Night Lights/Supernatural
This is also a bit of an AU, because of course in canon the Winchesters moved around a lot, but it feels more like a crossover than an AU. An the idea of Sam and Dean growing up in Dillon while John still hunts is simply awesome.

Twenty Four Hours, by Morgan32. Gen. (ca. 10,700 words)
Sentinel/Supernatural
This is set pre-series for SPN, and I really enjoyed seeing Sam and Dean as teenagers through Jim an Blair's eyes.

You've probably seen this story recced elsewhere already, still, I enjoyed it, and there's no shame in seconding other people's recs after all.

I'm glad I read The Wrong End of the Story by Julad and Calico in broad summer daylight and not at night in midwinter. It was still creepy as hell. In a good way, of course. Horror isn't my favorite genre (like, I've never read Martha's Unsleeping, no matter how often I've seen it recommended), but this story is sort of psychological horror, not a monster story.

lanning posted a new installment of the Identical series, Groundwork (Smallville).

Thanks to a rec on Prospect-L I found this crossover: Actualize This by Helena Handbasket (Sentinel/ Invisible Man/ Stargate). Usually I dislike the "characters of different series meet at a seminar" crossover device, but this one is really funny, and well worth reading.

I'm not sure whether I already recced this, but in case I haven't a while ago I read the Legolas/Gimli AU Back to the Beginning (LOTR) and quite enjoyed it.

I just updated my AU recs page, but mentioning good stories more than once can't hurt, so...

Rivanna finally finished her Footpaths Through Peru Series, a gen TS story in which Jim and Blair meet in Peru. So anybody who has avoided it so far, because it wasn't finished, can now look forward to reading five fine stories about Jim, Blair, sentinel senses, and adventures in the jungle. I'm not quite as fond of her writing style as I was almost three years ago, when I read the first story in this series. But then I'm very jaded about TS fanfic nowadays. And I still enjoyed reading the fifth and final part, The Wings of Faith. The only bad news is that Rivanna said in the author's notes that this will be her last TS story.

The other story I want to rec is the Farscape story UFO by The Right Brain. It's still a WIP, 14 chapters so far, an interesting and believable take on the popular topic of John returning to Earth. It branches off from canon after season 3.

And not an AU rec, but fun nonetheless: The Rocky Horror Muppet Show. I'm sure many know this script already, considering that it was first performed in 1987 according to the page, but I've only recently found it. So check it out if you haven't read it already (or seen it performed which would probably be even better).
