What the...?; not that he'd fault the boy for being wary of Danzo just on principle but the curse he'd spat upon the bandaged shinobi veteran was completely alien to the Yamanaka though not, he realised as he heard movement to the side of him and glanced over to see Tsumes' shoulders shaking with mirth, to all present. Noticing his scrutiny, the Inuzuka leant over slightly as she mastered herself and whispered out the corner of her mouth,
"You need kids of a certain age to understand Ino-kun, probably boys", she elaborated after realising her son and Inoichi's daughter were the same age give or take a few month. Deciding this was one of things he'd have to ask about later Inoichi left it alone for the moment, settling back in his seat as Sarutobi, recovering himself from his own smirk at seeing his long-term rival wrong-footed so unexpectedly, took charge again,

Hikari stood her ground. "I'm a one-legged civilian cleaning lady, whose younger brother is a genin, whose elder sister is married to an Akimichi, and whose family has been in the village for three generations. I could give less of a damn about politics unless they directly pertain to me, and I have been the target of enough gossip to have a healthy loathing of it. I'm loyal to the village, have zero ties to forces outside of it, and I have this crazy feeling that even on an off day most of you could beat me in a running race," she finished dryly. "I'm not really asking anyone to trust me any more than you might trust the village locksmith, or the chefs and waiters at any of the restaurants you eat at. I mean, I figure that's why there are so many Akimichi restaurants, right?"

Spacebattles gives us another winner: from the super active 'A Familiar Thread' reguarding Louise from Zero no Tsukaima (Familiar of Zero) summoning someone different, Louise summons the Grandma Loli herself, Evangeline The Gospel of Darkness--before Negi steped foot on Mahora Academy.
A Summon Goes Wrong

Quote:“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!”
Louise stared in shock at the girl. She was holding
her sides as she almost doubled over with laughter. Louise felt shame and anger
start to burn in her chest. So even her familiar laughed at her?

Professor Colbert on the other hand felt the hair on the back of his
neck stand on end. Something about this situation was making his instincts from
his days as the Flame Snake start to go crazy. Out of the corner of his eye,
Colbert noticed that Miss Tabitha, a mage who had already earned the title of
Chevalier, move to get in a better position behind the summoned
familiar.
The young girl finally stopped laughing and stood straight up
wiping a tear from her eye as she looked at Louise.
“Oh did I need that.
That has to be the funniest thing I've heard in years. To think that there's
actually someone stupid enough to try to bind me of all the people in
the  world as a familiar. Ahh, it's good to know that the world still breeds
such  idiots.”
Louise bristled in rage at the child's words. The students
around them started laughing and talking amongst themselves, wondering just
where this girl had come from that she would speak in such a manner to a
noble.
“Still, I suppose I should be grateful.” The girl said as she ran
her hands down her body in a way that would have been erotic if done by an
older  woman and looked disturbing when done by a child. “After all for the
first time  in fifteen long years I'm finally free of that man's
curse.”
So, what happens? A few minutes of mayhem as Eva-chan cuts loose, followed by this:

Quote:A crushing weight fell on Evangeline's shoulders. A weight formed out of a
forced feeling of fear, as a glaring pressure of anger and disappointment
burned  into her. Evangeline turned her head slowly, the only movement allowed
to her as  she looked behind her. A swirling vortex of darkness had formed
behind her, the  source of the imposed feelings. A massive hand reached out of
the darkness for  her and grabbed the mighty vampire by the back of the
neck.
“Yo-You've  got to be kidding me! Just.......just how much power
did you put into this  curse, Thousand Master!”
Evangeline could do
nothing, not even let go of  the girl in her arms, as she was dragged bodily
through the portal of darkness  that she knew would take her back to Mahora.
Check it out, if you like.
Now here's one I would have filed in CTSNB, if it wasn't not only already written but already complete:

http://www.fanfiction.net...Sun_The_Complete_Trilogy

Star Wars fuses with Superman - and not Smallville supes, since he's bulletproof-level super even as a baby, despite being listed in that category. Caveat: I've only read the first three chapters, which is not even up to the beginning of ANH. Buuuuut, those three chapters have been pretty good. Only time will reveal if it stays up to standard, however.

Forgive me if this has been rec'd here before - I can't find it:

Naruto AU: The Empty Cage (or should that be Kage?)

The butterfly here is simple: The Nine Tails is a Thanatos of Epic Proportions. And he's read the Evil Overlord list...

Oh and everyone in the 'verse has been given a badass and common sense upgrade - which does not necessarily make things better - more like they make big mistakes for perfectly rational reasons

And it's well written. Not a Canon ReWrite. I was really sad when I ran out of chapters...
Speaking of Superman fusions, try this one: Last Child of Krypton by Chuckman (author of The Riddle of Steel). Superman and Evangelion. And it's good.

If you become a monster to put down a monster you've still got a monster running around at the end of the day and have as such not really solved the whole monster problem at all.

The Man With No Name, by Frostfyre7. (FFNet) Firefly (Post-Serenity)/Doctor Who (Tenth Doctor) "He hadn't really counted on getting into a pub brawl over the color of his coat on some speck of a planet, or signing up with a crew of petty criminals. Still, he'd always wondered what really happened to those Lost Colonists from Earth..."

This is a great read. I'm a big fan of the way the author writes the dialogue between the Doctor and the crew of the Serenity. I haven't seen too much Doctor Who (I'm most familiar with David Tennant's tenure) but it feels very true to both sources.

Currently reading through A:TLA AU works of James Golen

Lots of world building - different style than Vathara but just as compelling with use of secondary characters as AU points and very deep character development.

Two series set in the same AU'verse with but with different diversion points:

Children of the War (A:CoTW): 'Butterfly wings' AU off the Canon series. Jeong Jeong never goes AWOL, Suki is a decade older and Ty Lee gets left behind on Kyoshi Isle by the circus a year before the Avatar shows up.

Book One: Water. Complete

Book Two: Earth. Complete

Book Three: Fire. Complete

Sequel to A:CotW - War of Flames. Six years after Sozin's Comet, Azula finally awakens from her madness, to find she is going to be used as a figurehead. But she has a nasty surprise in store for her puppet-masters. Complete.
I'm amending this recommendation. I completed the first series and it was good, although the Flames sequel started getting fairly surreal towards the end. Since it was Azula-centred I found that understandable.But the other series is set in a Avatar world where changes in the time stream have rendered the Characters very, left of centre, lets say - and there's a lot of focus on OCs.  It's also very Grim-Dark. So despite the excellent writing, I'm not enjoying  'Three Families'.  That's my personal taste showing though - I'm not a fan of Grim-Dark anything - others may like it.

"Anyone can be a winner if their definition of victory is flexible enough." - The DM of the Rings XXXV
Technically, this is an update. But seeing as it's a oneshot turning into a series I figured I'd repeat my recommendation.

Blood & Iron, a Warhammer40K crossover with the Bolo series.

The same author has another Warhammer40K crossover that is worth a giggle. When A God Emperor Goes To War, is a oneshot which mixes W40K with Doctor Who. Possible spoilers for Mid Season 6 of Doctor Who.
Storybook Hero New(ly expanded from Skysaber's bunnies anthology) by Dogbertcarrol, young Harry Potter is pretty sure he's living in a fairytail, and the evidence just keeps stacking up. Typical Dogbertcarrol high quality.

Z, that's well written and all, but still rather repulsive. As if Harry wasn't deconstructed-hero enough in canon!

From the mind that has already crossed Buffy with the A-team, Predator and few other settings that were unable to escape I bring a work in progress that crosses Buffy with a work that is partially in the public domain.
Willow Rosenberg and the Mind Riders (Buffy/Tow Swift)
It draws heavily on the literary canon in question, so expect people quickly grasping new technologies, rather silly chapter titles and all the pulpy goodness that comes with a Tom Swift story.
"All right, you lot." Oglo barked out. "Our job is to find out where the enemy is, what they're doing and how loudly they yell when their valuables go missing!"

http://www.fanfiction.net.../Saruman_of_many_Devices is a oneshot crossover of LotR with the General Belisarius series. It's pretty cool.

Naruto Emiya. Yeah. Naruto is Archer. And is utterly nutzoid, and has apparently visited pretty much every 'verse out there to add toys to Unlimited Blade Works.
