Title: Intersections
Author: Curuchamion
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 416
Characters: Liz Shaw, Ilya Kuryakin

Short but sweet crossover ficlet. Very nice.

 

Highlander

Title: Friendly Drink
Author: KerrAvonson
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 450
Characters: Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Methos, Duncan Macleod

Amusing vignette – the confusion of non-linear meetings for time travellers and immortals… (The author has also written two drabble crossovers with Methos and the Doctor: Geodesy – the First Doctor in the Library of Alexandria – and Fall, a double drabble featuring the Second Doctor and Methos in the Himalayas).

Title: Twisting Timelines
Author: amaresu
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 1737
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones, Methos (slight Methos/Martha)

I don’t really know Highlander (still) but this is a well-written, thoughtful crossover, with Martha and Methos (and the Doctor) meeting in a non-linear way, not unlike River Song and the Doctor would later.

 

Sapphire & Steel December 7, 2011

Title: Pets
Author: hearts_blood
Rating: All ages
Word Count:
Characters: Fourth Doctor, Steel, Sarah Jane Smith

An excellent and interesting short crossover, but it will make a lot more sense if you have seen Assignment Three of Sapphire & Steel. (So also has some mild spoilers for that story.) But I like the meeting and the way it works, because the two universes aren’t as easy to mesh as they seem on appearances.

Title: Interlude in Café-Space
Author: Annariel
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 665
Characters: Romana II, K9, Sapphire, Steel

In which Romana provides a neat and well-done fixit for Sapphire & Steel’s final episode – so beware spoilers if you’re unfamiliar with the crossover show.

 

Bujold – Vorkosigan series

Title: The Lady and the Temp
Author: Altariel
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 1560
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Donna, Cordelia, Gregor the Great

Hugely enjoyable and well written short crossover, even for someone like me who’s never read the books.

 

Spooks / MI5

Title: Another Time
Author: belantana
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 671
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Jo Portman

A brief encounter on a train that is perfectly, perfectly in character for both and rather lovely, playing on the fact that Tallulah and Jo were both played by Miranda Raison.

Title: Outmanoeuvred
Author: vvj5
Rating: All ages
Word Count: Drabble
Characters: Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Pearce

Sarah Jane meets an undercover spook in the 80s.

 

Dalziel & Pascoe / Reginald Hill July 20, 2011

Title: Untitled
Author: tree_and_leaf
Rating: PG
Word Count: 300
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, Andrew Dalziel

I’m not especially familiar with the novels or TV version, but I didn’t have to be to enjoy a very entertaining ficlet. Somehow there’s always something about a TV detective finding he’s got the Doctor to contend with that never grows old…

 

Buffy

Title: Ten Trips Still To Be Taken
Author: atraphoenix
Rating: All ages / PG
Word Count: 3114
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Drusilla

It’s an odd combination, but it works, and the use of Drusilla’s POV gives us the Doctor and his travels in a new light. Beautiful, and clever, and sinister.

Title: Apocalypse: The bird in the box
Author: Calapine
Rating: PG / All ages
Word Count: 3276
Characters: Harry Sullivan, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sergeant Benton, Liz Shaw, Rupert Giles.

A dark and Doctor-less UNIT AU crossover, which is very well-written and not without hope. It’s also an especially good Harry story – well-characterised, and not an imbecile.

 

Stargate (SG1) June 17, 2011

Title: A Jaffa, an archaeoogist and two Air Force officers walk into a library
Author: aces
Rating: All ages.
Word Count: 1289
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Daniel Jackson, Jack O’Neill, Teal’c, Sam Carter

A lovely bit of fun in which the two teams meet in a library, and there is world-threatening danger and the Doctor and Daniel bonding over bow ties, books and the promise of a visit to yet another library.

Title: T is for Time (Non-Encounters of the Deeply Weird Kind)
Author:

Rating: All ages
Word Count: 3223
Characters: Fourth Doctor, Leela, Eighth Doctor, Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, Zoe Heriot, Sixth Doctor, Peri Brown, Third Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones, Seventh Doctor, Ninth Doctor, First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, Eleventh Doctor, Daniel Jackson, Sam Carter, Jack O’Neill, Teal’c, Vala Mal Doran.

Highly entertaining multi-era fic in which the team encounter all of the Doctors without ever realising it’s the same person.

Title: gate Travel
Author: Apple Cameron
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 127
Characters: The Doctor, his companion (any era you choose), the Star Gate

The Doctor, not overly impressed by the Gate.

A drabble of mine.

Title: Crime Scene
Author: Aja
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 346
Characters: Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Lennie Briscoe

Short vignette, but wry, in character and very readable. You just know this one isn’t going to be straightforward…
