I have to write a paper for one class by four PM tomorrow and read like a hundred pages for another class by Wednesday morning, and I haven't even looked at what I have due for Tuesday, so naturally I thought this would be the best time for another round of crossover challenge requests!

I've done this a couple times before. It goes like this: Under the cut is the list of fandoms I'm currently into/comfortable writing for right now. You pick a couple (or more than a couple, if you want), and you can also add a further prompt - a scenario, song lyrics, color, pairing (even though I'll probably end up writing it as a gen interaction because that seems to be what I write these days), whatever. If you add the prompt, I might go with it, I might use part of it, I might do something tangentially related to it, or I might ignore it entirely. And I can't promise to write for every request, because there are always some that never gel for me no matter what I try. Please don't feel neglected if yours is one of them. I promise I love you anyway.

If you want a crossover with something that's not listed here but you know I'm into, feel free to ask for that; again, I promise nothing, but one of my favorite snippets last time came from one of those requests.

TW/iCarly?

I don't even watch/know anything about the latter, but I WOULD DIE if you did this. I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!

Since you're not familiar, for visual reference:

Left to right: Freddie, Carly, Sam.

Okay!

"Sam didn't do anything," Carly is saying even before she and Freddie are all the way into Principal Franklin's office. "We've been with her since we got - oh."

There's someone else in the office, a man neither of them recognizes. He's tall, wearing some kind of old-fashioned military coat, and good-looking. Kind of annoyingly so, in Freddie's opinion. He upgrades that to really annoying as Carly loses track of her sentence and starts staring at the guy. Freddie shoots him a dirty look.

"Carly, Freddie, sit down," Principal Franklin tells them. Carly, realizing she's been staring, gulps and makes a sudden point of looking really hard at the chair as she sits in it.

"You're right, this is about Sam, but she's not in trouble. This time," he adds. "This is Captain Jack Harkness. He'd just like to ask you a few questions about her."

Captain Harkness smiles. "Nice to meet you." There are a couple of seconds in which Freddie and Carly exchange uncertain glances; then Captain Harkness clears his throat, looks at Principal Franklin, and looks at the door.

"Oh," says Principal Franklin as he catches on. "But -"

"Sorry," Captain Harkness says. "Official business. Top secret."

This time with Carly and Freddie look at each other, it lasts longer and is decidedly wide-eyed.

"I'm not sure I'm comfortable with -"

"The kids are safe with me." Captain Harkness smiles again, this time the kind of charming, chiselled smile that always makes Freddie want to punch the guy smiling it. "Promise."

It works. Principal Franklin doesn't look happy about it, but he leaves. When he's gone, Captain Harkness sits casually on the end of his desk.

"So, you two are Sam's best fr -"

"She didn't do it!" Carly blurts out. "Well, okay, she probably did, but - well, okay, she probably meant to, but -"

"But we're not telling you anything," Freddie cuts in.

"Yeah!" Carly exclaims, then whispers to Freddie, "Thanks."

"No problem," he whispers back.

"Look, it's okay," Captain Harkness says. "Like your principal says, Sam's not in trouble. She's just come to our attention because of some interesting stories about some of the things she can do."

***

Captain Harkness seems to think that Sam will be more cooperative of Carly and Freddie talk to her first.

Freddie could have told him how that would go.

"What?" Sam demands. "He thinks I'm what?"

"AN ALIEN," Freddie says, gleefully loud and earning a glare for his trouble.

"Yeah, I heard you the first time," Sam snaps. "This guy's crazy. I mean, you know he's crazy, right?"

"Look, we're not having the 'aliens don't exist' argument, are we?" Freddie asks. "Because -" Because that argument is played out over the last couple of years and really boring now, and Freddie wants to keep the focus where it should be: Laughing at Sam. She ignores him, looking at Carly, which he figures is answer enough.

"Look," Carly says carefully, "he explained about it. I mean, I don't think it's weird or, or inhuman that you can beat up a grown man twice your size, but - I guess it's a little more unusual than we thought."

"Because you're an alien," Freddie puts in.

"Freddie!" Carly hisses - she's gotten really good at that over the years, hissing his name even though it doesn't have any S's in it - and smacks his arm. Freddie doesn't really notice; he's busy eyeing Sam, who's bristling and looks about half a second away from trying to kill him.

The tension stretches out for about a second and a half longer than Freddie expected, then Sam abruptly relaxes, shrugs, and flops onto the couch.

"You get to live," she tells Freddie. "For now. I'm gonna save it for Captain Alien."

At that moment, the loft elevator opens. Without even looking, Sam smiles. Freddie and Carly look at each other, then at the newly arrived Captain Harkness.

"You should run now," Carly tells him.

He doesn't.

***

When he leaves ten minutes later, after his scanner has confirmed (several times over) that Sam is human, he's limping.

I have read this about fifty thousand times now, and it makes me grin like crazy. JACK MEETS HIS TEENAGE GIRL MATCH!

Titanic as played by iCarly for their show would give me fangasms.

Ah... am I allowed to reply as well?

If you can read this, you can make a request!

thak you :)

whatthehellicon.

The Fix, as if Reed Chandler had never died. Bonus for switching his and Cal's roles.I get the feelingyou have written both already.

And! And! Jack - torchwood for crossover, because evey fanfic in the world needs him.

The Fix/The Thick of It.

Some sort of Tucker/Grahame interaction, bonus if it is conducted while Cal is there but as if he is utterly superfluous.

Titanic/Dollhouse and I love, love your Jack. I only have one Titanic icon and its a sad one but should do.

♥

I don't have any Titanic icons. This will never do.

I am totally going to tag up on that post one of these days, I swear.

Today is not that day, but - someday!

emiv has some beautiful Titanic icons, that's where I got this one.

No worries, I'm just back from break and I have so much to do that I'm not.

Doctor Who/Les Misérables, the Doctor at the barricade. Or it turns out that the Thénardiers are Slitheen or something. Or, IDK, something else.

Torchwood/The Thick of It---Malcolm needs one of TW's artifacts to save the PM's bacon. Jack drives a hard bargain.
