Reveals for Crossworks are up; owing to a summer chock-full of complicated life events, this was my first exchange this year - but as the crossover junkie that I am, I wasn't going to let it go by. And I'm glad I persisted, both because my gift this year featured one of my more obscure fandom requests (executed thoughtfully and to very good effect) and because my author said some really nice things in their notes on the fic.

So here's the gift:

The First Rule of Supervillainy
Written by: Sealgirl
Fandom: Columbo, Defenders of the Earth (Cartoon)
Rating: General Audiences
Words: ~2600
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lieutenant Columbo (Columbo), Ming the Merciless (Defenders of the Earth)
Additional Tags: Case Fic, Crossover
 
Even a supervillain, who’s skipped worlds and retired to a universe that your enemies can't reach, should be careful not to underestimate people. Especially policeman.

And here's my own contribution, in which I spun a three-and-a-half-way caper yarn featuring some of my favorite action heroines (and a villain I've always found entertaining).

The (Retroactively Classified) Triple Burglar Job
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV), Leverage, Stargate SG-1
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Words: ~2300
Characters:
Parker (Leverage), Alec Hardison, Vala Mal Doran, Ethan Rayne
Additional Tags: Crossover, Heist, Bechdel Test Pass, Stealth Crossover, Xanatos Gambits

The Orb of Qin-Jao is in a safe in a Manhattan condominium. But is it actually safe from an alien, a rogue warlock, and the world's greatest cat burglar? 

Probably not....


It's a superb year for the Crossworks exchange, and one reason is definitely the story written for me - a skillful dueling-rescuers tale in which the Leverage crew finds itself in the middle of Stargate SG-1's attempt to rescue one of their own from a fate worse than death (in this case Sam Carter, the kidnapping in question being straight out of an actual SG-1 episode).

The Alien Job by Anonymous
Fandoms: Leverage, Stargate SG-1
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Words: ~5600
Characters: Parker (Leverage), Eliot Spencer (Leverage), Alec Hardison, Nathan Ford, Sophie Devereaux (Leverage), Samantha "Sam" Carter, Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson (Stargate), Teal'c (Stargate), Harry Maybourne
Additional Tags: Heist, Crossover, Episode: s05e11 Desperate Measures

When trying to uncover proof of unethical and illegal experiments at Zeditron Industries, the Leverage team comes across a kidnapped Air Force Major.

I can't, of course, yet tell you what I wrote for Crossworks - except that I picked up a pinch hit along the way, so that I have two stories waiting to be revealed, both of which I'm reasonably pleased with.  And there's a lot of really excellent work in the exchange generally, in a wide range of fandoms, so you should definitely go browse.
