Not nearly so bizzarre, but... Xander has a job at a constrution cxompany, right? And yet he's constantly getting battered around and tied up in things that leave him too injured or with little time to work, but his job is still always there... perhaps someon is quietly serving as a sponsor for the Scoobies? Some low key, competent faction of one of the intelligence agencies, or a private demon-hunter group parrelel to the Watchers but not focussed on Slayers per se. Or, something less benevolent, wanting to keep an eye on the Scoobies, and possibly keep them in place on the Hellmouth to deal with the problems there and NOT deal with interests elsewhere - and noncoincidentally prevent having those other interests disrupted by the end(s) of the world. Not so much a fic in itself, as a possible element in one, but something to consider.
For bizarre crossovers... Well, I still want to see Bastard/Dirty Pair/Slayers, Moldiver/Macross 7/RahXephon, and FLCL/DBZ. I even started writing the latter - set post-FLCL and pre-Dragonball, mid-teens Naota's curse of the space hotties reactivates when a rookie female saiyajin is sent to find out how a world with no significant power readings broke one of the planet traders' automatic strip-mining factories, but gets el-kabonged and loses her memories for a while - long enough to get attatched to him.
- CDSERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
Dr. Akagi will recover. Observe, Rei smiled. Shinji-kun, are these your clothes?
Ritsuko shot up like a spring loaded meerkat. What? Shinji-kun is naked?
See, Anata? Dr. Hentai is alive and well. - Innortal's _I Do_
