Later than I promised, but for your enjoyment nonetheless. :)

Old Road. Supernatural/Watchmen, PG13.
Two of the defining moments of John Winchester's life come to him courtesy of the same man.I clicked on this because I was interested in a fic with John Winchester and the Comedian, given that both are played by the same actor, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I wasn't expecting much - but even if I'd been expecting excellent, I'd have been blown away. I was impressed beyond the telling and have spent not an small amount of time pondering things about Viet Nam, the nature of family, and the ways that a total bastard (the Comedian) might have actually done good in the world.

Here Be Dragons. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles/Buffy the Vampire Slayer, FR15.
They were found in a dark corner of Century, hidden away by the metal, and left for rot. They were darkness. They were death. They were dragons.This particular crossover is astonishingly common, but that's because it works so well. I do not often find BtVS fics that I love, but this one has come to mind so many times since I've read it. It's chillingly well done.

And Away We Go. Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Bandom (Fall Out Boy), PG.
"Dear Pete," he writes after filling in the age verification page, thereby confirming that he is far too old to be doing this. "Hi. Please stop being such a whiny emo bastard in public on the world wide web. I dont care what you do in private with your friends or family, but I live with fifteen teenage girls and they have all of your blogs bookmarked. I dont know if you know this, but living with fifteen teenage girls is not anything resembling fun. And when theyre all crying because youre sad its even less fun. Ive tried to use parental block software so they cant get to your blogs, but theyre strong girls and Ive got a limited field of vision. Please, for the sake of my sanity and physical wellbeing... just stop. PLEASE!"Because, even if you don't get into Bandom, which I don't, this is just
funny. *grins*

Curiosities. X-men Comicverse/Harry Potter, PG13.
Tom Riddle meets Erik Lehnsherr, circa 1950. It's an educational evening for them both.I really like crossovers between X-men and Harry Potter. Mutants and wizards, so alike, and yet so very different. This fic explores some of the similarities, and shows some startling conclusions.

Parlor Games. Torchwood/Firefly, PG13.
“Captain Jack Harkness,” the dark-haired man proclaimed cheerfully, grasping Jayne’s hand and shaking it with almost obscene warmth, in Jayne’s opinion. “Welcome to Torchwood Seventeen. You must be Jayne Cobb.”This is crack done so well that it ceases to be crack and instead becomes a delightful what-if. It's not long enough to be epic, but the premise is certainly epic. Plus, who doesn't want to see Jayne and Jack match snarky wits?
Okay, this is the first set of recs for April. My plan is to rec at least 30 different things over the month, and this is the first five. I hope you all enjoy them! If you do, please let the author know.
Cheers!
