Hello! I'm nonelvis, one of the mods here, and it's my turn to rec this week. If you're interested in reccing -- and we're always looking for more people! -- please join the comm and leave a comment on our sign-up sheet.

Story: i'll give you stars and the moon
Author: voodoochild
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 4,588
Author's Summary: Five women the Doctor has never met – and one who keeps coming back. Crossover with Ashes to Ashes, Criminal Minds, Firefly, Madeline L'Engle's Time Quartet, Battlestar Galactica, and Neil Gaiman's Sandman series.
Characters/Pairings: Ten, Nine, author-created Doctor, Jack
Warnings: None

Recced because: Crossovers can be tricky – how do you integrate the characters believably into each other's universes? But voodoochild does an admirable job with six separate fandoms, weaving the Doctor seamlessly into all of them, while providing an amusing explanation for Nine's Northern accent at the same time. All the crossovers here are deftly written, with a good ear for character voice, and enough details from canon sprinkled throughout to make each story feel like a true blend of both fandoms. And even though I've never seen Criminal Minds, I still enjoyed that crossover – these are all fine stories, worth reading regardless of whether you're familiar with every show or book.

A DW/CM crossover? How convenient yet unexpected! *bookmarks*

I had a feeling this rec would be relevant to your interests ;)

*falls over giggling* I find this hilarious, since you, yanno, know me and my love for both series. Hope you like it!

Omigod. Omigod. I got recced on calufrax? It's seriously a lovely compliment, and I'm so glad you thought enough of the story to rec it. I remember your comment back when I first posted it - it made my week - and it's nice to hear that I managed to hack all the fandoms.
