February Fanfic Day 7: Crossover

[pensnest]

This one's a little awkward, not because there aren't popslash crossovers, one way or another, but more because I haven't kept track. And quite a lot of popslash with a 'crossover' label means Nsync/Backstreet, and I'm not counting that, not since my last six years of MTYG have involved Backstreet.

Crossover with another RPF fandom seems reasonable, though, so that's what I'm going for today. Annoyingly, I recced both Moments When You Can't Deny What's True (Nick Carter/Patrick Stump) and Eight Times (JC Chasez/Gerard Way) last February, and my love for both stories is still true. So today's rec is for 42 by Arsenic. It's arguably the sequel to Eight Times, and certainly mostly bandslash (Bob Bryar/Spencer Smith) but with a sparkly injection of JC Chasez, still snuggling Gerard Way. The JC/Gerard secondary pairing isn't a huge deal for the story, but the rest of the story still makes me happy.

There really ought to be a popslash crossover with His Dark Materials. Daemons would be so much fun! Anyone?


I'm going with The Adam Lambert Experience for my own RPF crossover story—part of my Bouquet series. I think there are a couple of Adam Lambert/Lance Bass stories on Nifty (I have not investigated with any determination) but as far as my fandom is concerned, I do believe I invented this pairing. And an awesome pairing it is, too.

I fell into popslash through a crossover with Harry Potter. A very hot Lance/the Weasley twins if I remember correctly :-)

[pensnest]

Yes, there are a few popslash/FPF crossovers around, but I'm quite surprised there aren't more. Perhaps I just don't remember very many!

[turlough]

I seem to have vague recollections of at least a couple of crossovers with Buffy. And possibly also with Highlander. And I definitely remember the Gundam Wing/Nsync crossover Arsenic wrote ages ago.

I enjoy that series of Arsenic's so much.

[pensnest]

Me too - I have within me an unexpected love of Bob/Spencer, of which there is apparently too little. But JC/Gerard is unexpectedly awesome too.

I'm almost positive I once read a popslash/Highlander crossover that - bafflingly - paired JC with Methos, but I'll be damned if I can find it again. :(

Can you really be the only (good) writer who's ever thought to put Lance and Adam together?! That makes me sad.

[pensnest]

Oh I dunno, JC, Methos, you can see why fangirls want to play with them!

I'm a bit baffled by the shortage of Adam/Lance or indeed any other Adam/pop pairings. *Some* of the Glambert fans must surely have been popslashers once! I know a couple of people have written Lance/Adam *for* me, though, so I'm not the only one to have produced stories. But, I want moar!
