Summary: SGA/SPN Crossover AU. The world ended and not how any hunter would have imagined. A BSG-style fleet of refugees on the run, with Dean Winchester aboard the Hammond. Shep POV.

My thoughts: !!! Great crossover. Mechanic/Engineer!Dean is always great.

Stargate SG-1 is so good. I love it so much 🥺

[makiruz]

Ran iinto another Stargate crossover fic written by someone who hadn't watch the show, but I don't know this person so I'm a lot less forgiving.

It's called "The Dragon King's Temple" and I skimmed it before and they were things that felt off like making the Stargate an universal translator, I started reading and immediately felt it with Janet's feelings of zats, and well the TV Tropes page is discouraging the villain is "the last sane goa'uld" and we already have the Tok'ra plus goa'uld don't live that long, and apparently the Ancients created the goa'uld and I don't know.

But the real problem is looking at the comments, specifically author defending their changes, to a show they haven't watched; sigh, it was the same with A Star to Steer By, they didn't seem to realize they were changing Canon badly and got defensive. You don't get defensive when fans point you did something wrong, you say "you're probably right, but this is my story and I don't care"

[kitkatt0430]

Rewatching SG-1 has reminded me of a Tales of Symphonia xOver idea I had that I'd still like to write.

It'd ignore the Tales of Symphonia sequel, so no Dawn of the New World stuff going on here. Instead, a few years post Tales of Symphonia and the reunification of the two world of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla into the single world of Aselia, an archeological dig in Tethe'alla discovers an outpost in the mountains that predates the Kharlan War and the civilizations involved by thousands of years.

It's not ancient Elven technology from their migration to the world from space either and likely predates even that long ago event - and the Elves are related to the Nox, though whether that comes up or not... at least it's world building, right? I considered the Ancients... but I like the Nox better for this. Anywho, the current Elves are an offshoot of the Nox who've lost their history and had somewhat divergent evolution from being on a completely different planet from the other Nox for so long.

It's Ancient technology, but with the Elves having forgotten their history they can't identify it anymore than the human and half-elven historians or archaeologists can. They've even consulted the Summon Spirits, but if they know then they aren't telling. And they do seem to know something.

Seles is fascinated. She's gotten interested in archaeology - Zelos blames Raine, who of course wouldn't see why being interested in old stuff would be so boring to him. But Zelos is trying to be supportive so he's shown up at the dig site.

There's a giant stone circle inside and that Zelos does find interesting. Its made up of a foreign material similar to exspheres, but it's clearly refined the same way exspheres were. While it's still somehow being powered - though they've yet to successfully activate it - it's clear the power source is external and stored in capacitors, not imbued with the power of a human life sacrificed to it's production.

That's when an offworld activation occurs and a Goa'uld and his army shows up. Zelos manages to hide Seles, but then he and two others are 'selected' similar to how Sha're and Skara are in the episode Children of the Gods.

On another world now, Zelos manages to befriend one of the Jaffa guards. Not enough to be snuck out, but enough that Zelos is pretty sure he's not going to get killed by this guy when things inevitably get worse. A selection is going on and, as Mekel explains, the Goa'uld - gods, but not really and isn't that a familiar situation for Zelos to be in? - are selecting new hosts. They're parasites. And that's when Zelos realizes he's in more trouble than he realized.

And so is Mekel and anyone else if Zelos gets 'Chosen'. The Chappa'ai (Stargate) is made of the similar-to-exspheres element. And so is the tech the Jaffa use - and thus the Goa'uld use. And, according to Mekel, the Goa'uld and Jaffa have that element - naquadah - in their blood stream. It's similar enough to exspheres that just being surrounded by so much of it makes Zelos able to feel his now-dormant powers again (dormant ever since he stopped using his angelus crystal) but not enough to actually use those powers.

He's pretty sure if he gets possessed? Those powers will be back and in the control of a wannabe god. Not good.

Mekel is not thrilled to learn this either. He may believe the Goa'uld are false gods, but they're still ridiculously powerful. Giving even one of them more power??? Could only be a bad thing. He's not sure he believes this isn't a ploy on Zelos' part to try and get away safely, but he does like Zelos now so... he decides to help Zelos escape. In doing so they discover a Tok'ra prisoner and after a short explanation about the Tok'ra vs Goa'uld divide, they decide to take him along.

The three of them jump a few planets and Zelos laments that he doesn't know his own world's address to go home. They'd be safe there. Though he's also hoping that they've somehow disabled the gate to prevent further incursions, though he knows Lloyd will be beyond pissed if the King chooses to abandon Zelos and the others to their fate that way.

They realize they didn't get away clean when an Ashrak injures the Tok'ra - Jeren and... I admit I don't have a name for his host in mind yet. They're too badly injured. Jeren could survive in a new host, but it's too late for his current one. Mekel refuses to become a Tok'ra host. If there were a way for him to be free of his symbiote without dying, he'd take it in a heartbeat... except for this. Which Jeren assures Mekel that he understands.

Zelos volunteers. He's come to trust Jeren and he knows the information Jeren seeks to take to the Tok'ra is important. It's just temporary, after all. Until a new host can be found, anyway.

As Zelos suspected, being bonded with Jeren revives his old exsphere/angelus crystal granted powers. He can't bring out his wings, but he's able to call on Judgement and some of his other high-level spells. And when the Ashrak strikes again, the three of them are able to kill the Goa'uld assassin this time.

But even with Zelos' healing powers restored, he never had Raine's gift for Resurrection and so Jeren's previous host is too far gone even for Zelos to heal even now. At least with the Ashrak dead, the man is avenged and they're able to safely seek out the current Tok'ra safe house by contacting another Tok'ra spy who knows where to send them.

The Tok'ra are fascinated by Zelos' powers but also relieved its not something they can replicate. Because if they can't, the Goa'uld can't either. And unfortunately the Tok'ra don't have a way to send Zelos home yet because they don't have the address to his world either.

When a new guy volunteers to become Jeren's host, Zelos decides he likes the partnership and stays Jeren's host after all. Mekel offers his services to the Tok'ra specifically to protect Zelos and Jeren. If the Goa'uld became aware of Zelos' powers, they'd seek to capture him and remove Jeren in order to take his body for themselves.

A few years later, Egeria is discovered and Zelos is brought in to try and use his unusual powers to heal her. He's met SG-1 once or twice before and Mekel and Teal'c have a mutual respect for each other going on. Zelos does manage to heal Egeria enough to stabilize her for travel, but she needs the care of her people going forward - she needs a host. But doing so meant revealing his abilities to SG-1.

Egeria fixes the flaws in Tretonin and Mekel jumps at the chance to try it. And after talking things over with SG-1, Zelos and Jeren tell Mekel they want to request they be assigned as a sort of permanent liaison to the SGC. Mekel likes this idea so they go through with it. Jacob and Selmak think it'll be a great fit.

Admittedly my ideas for this verse skip around a bit. Zelos, Jeren, and Mekel verses an Ori Prior would be very interesting to see happen. At some point they'd make contact with Aselia and Zelos is able to see his sister and friends again. Also... Lloyd and Colette kicking Ori ass with their angel powers, as some of the few still utilizing angelus crystals, would be a great deal of fun.

18, 59, and 68 for the writer ask game?

18. Do you enjoy research?  Which fic of yours required the most research?

Research is oddly one of my favorite parts of writing a fic. I get to learn weird trivia and skills! Current tabs i have open for research: Wiki on Volatile Organic Chemicals, the Canadian Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy, Wiki on Women Airforce Service Pilots, Russian Lessons . net, and a google map of Wyoming. I am a very normal human being who absolutely DOES NOT feel the need to cite sources in fandom activities! The fic that requires the most research is definitely Instructions on Mindful Focus, my fic on the inner-workings of IMF counseling. I am essentially teaching myself Psychology and how to treat PTSD. Am I interested in pursuing psychology as a career? No. Do i even know anyone with PTSD? Also no. Am I going to get a good grade in fanfiction writing? That's the plan!

59. Have you participated in any fic events/writing challenges?  If yes, what were they and did you enjoy them?

Ish? I'm doing last years Fictober prompts[Link] for Real Genius over on AO3[Shameless plug]. I really like it as a jumping off point for drabbles! I'm still fairly new at writing and publishing fanfic so the help is appreciated. I also have two picker wheels to help me choose characters and au(s) as I am a deeply indecisive person. Generally I like the method. Some prompts I have an idea of what characters i want and I don’t mind re-rolling if I can't figure out the scene, but some of the random picks give me ideas i wouldn’t have had otherwise!

68. Are there any fics that influenced you to write the way you do?

Love is for Children is one of the bigger influences for how I'd like to structure fic. It was one of the first fics I really fell into back in 2013. The Grand Unified Theory of Shěn Qīngqiū: Qi Refining by 00janeblonde is a fic I strive to resemble. I'm no where near close, but one day I hope. But each fic and fandom have their own influences. I am deeply influenced by Anagrrl Stargate x Real Genius xovers, popmart (tambsi)'s stuff and A Knight's Quest by Omorka for the RG fandom in general. For my Fictober 2023 RG fills, I'm also bizarrely influenced by PurpleArrowzandLeather and Katastrophe (Karrington) Top Gun drabbles. For Instructions on Mindful Focus, I'm inspired by you'll need a new name to survive this by callmearcturus, interropunct and The (Not So Secret) Diary of a Full-Time Minion by CaffeineGinger

[korora12]

I've given entirely too much thought to the idea of an Animorphs/Stargate xover. My usual go-to is to have the SG-1 crew become involved near the end of the series, when the US government learns about the Yeerk invasion, but you could also do something with Atlantis, which both series have their own take on.

The later they get involved, the less changes their presence makes to the plot, but I think their existence definitely affects what happens after the war. If nothing else, I can see Jake joining Stargate Command once he's old enough. Maybe even sooner, in some kind of civilian/consultant position until he turns 18. Then you could have him going on missions to other planets and fighting the Goa'uld.

Would any of the Animoprhs and related cast be fans of Doctor Who?

I imagine getting really uncomfortable when the episode where Tegan gets possessed by Mara comes up.

What about Stargate? I think Stargate would be canceled because it's way to close to home.

What about a Stargate crossover with animorphs??

Another crossover idea is that series already have their concept of mind control and body jacking and when a Yeerk tries to possess an already “occupied” vessel the first “guest” goes GTFO or vice versa.

Sorry but this is my meat puppet. See Yugioh

I am not up on my sci fi classics! Any folks with Whovian/Stargate/Yugioh feels willing to weigh in?

AU-gust 2021 ( Day 15 )

Crossover

(in which John is in the middle of his worst nightmare come to life & Rodney seems to have had a more interesting past than originally advertised) 

.

"John, no!"

It was supposed to be a milk run. A routine treaty renewal with an ally they'd had since the expedition's first year. Nothing exciting was supposed to happen.

Nothing was supposed to happen.

"McKay, come on. Talk to me."

"Just hold on, we're almost there. Keep your eyes open, you hear me?"

"Dammit, Rodney! Don't do this to me!"

The race to the gate passed by in a blur, and John's heart thundered as he kept pace with the rest of his team.

Rodney was slung over one of Ronon's shoulders, head bouncing as his lifeblood continued to drip down the other man's arm. He stopped groaning half an hour and an eternity ago, and next to Ronon, John ran with his arm clenched tight on Rodney's TAC vest.

As they went through the event horizon, John's chest burned where the Telmaran rebel's bullet was supposed to go.

“John, what happened back there?”

Sensing that John was not fit for polite company, much less capable of giving a report, Teyla took Elizabeth aside and relayed to her the Cliff’s Notes version of the events.

That a group of rebels had stormed the government palace after they heard of the Atlantis team’s return.

That they’d claimed to have sensed a dark, cosmic entity within one of the team members the last time they visited.

That John, being the leader, had been the first suspect.

That Rodney had stepped in front of John just as the rebel leader’s gun went off.

“McKay’ll be fine.”

Ronon left John in the locker room after all but dragging him out of the medical wing. There was nothing they could do from there, anyway. And the last thing John needed was to have his heart rise and fall with the worry lines on Carson’s face as he worked to bring Rodney back to life from the other side of the operating room’s viewing window.

Back to John.

Now, John sat on the bench, Rodney’s bloody vest in his hands.

His arms stopped shaking a moment ago, but it still took a while for him to notice that the vest kept on trembling. Turning it over, John dug around the compartments until he found the source of the vibration.

It was a pocket watch.

The timepiece was silver and about the size of John’s palm. Its cover had intricate markings, circles and swirls intersected by seemingly random lines coming from different directions.

It looked old and worn, heavier than any pocket watch ought to weigh. When John ran a thumb over the curious designs, something inside glowed.

Before he could open it, his radio chirped and snapped him out of the daze. Carson’s frantic voice brought him back to solid ground.

“Colonel, we need you here in the infirmary. It’s Rodney. He—”

The rest of the doctor’s words got lost to wind as John sprinted to the nearest transporter.

The rest of John’s words, all the pleas and admissions threatening to leave his lips as he clutched at the sands of time, at the threads of Rodney’s life, froze as John saw the familiar, blinding light that had spilled from the infirmary when he arrived.

It was the same light that continued to pulse from within Rodney’s watch.

Sensates in space

Part 4. All Felix with a side of spoons

The city loves Felix and he loves it back. His gene is off the charts. Atlantis purrs for him, sliding open doors for him and leading him along a slow route through the entire city that ends in a room full of ZPMs, 1 of which is full and 2 of which are partially full.

Felix falls in with Radek Zelenka and soon the two are debating then modifying blue plans and making adjustments to Zalenkas still. They are able to almost double the production, which most of the city appreciates.

Rodney dubs him "king of the locksmiths" which lasts until the next time he demands a lock smith.

"Calll a looccksmiithhh" John warbles into the radio and then the call is picked up by Lorne and is finished off by Chuck while Rodney face palms.

What starts up as joke becomes a marathon of Robin Hood movies, which then turns into a city wide debate on which Robin Hood is the best.

"Look, the only Robin Hoods in this debate should be the ones with actual British accents." Rodney snaps.

The only thing the city can agree on is that Alan Rickman is the best Robin Hood villian.

That some how turns into a spoon contest, where people stand around in the mess holding spoons menacingly.

Teyla and Sun win in a tie (neither of them actually joined in the competition).

"It's so creepy." Felix says to Wolfgang.

Wolfgang shrugs "It's not like either of them would need the spoon."

End.

[kitkatt0430]

Flash/Stargate Atlantis xOver where Hartley is cousins with the McKay siblings.

Hartley's similar personality wise with Rodney - driven to be the best, always has to be right - but he also gets putting family first above ambition because if he could get Jerrie away from his parents and it meant sacrificing his career in physics to do so? Hartley would do so in a heartbeat and never look back. So when Jeannie decides she can't be a mom and be a physicist at the same time, Hartley understands and supports her where Rodney doesn't. (Rodney gets there, eventually.)

When Hartley's disowned by his parents, it's Jeannie he goes to for support and he's probably not super close with Rodney at the time. Rodney's off doing his own thing and, like... he'd probably offer money for Hartley to finish getting his degrees, but Hartley needs emotional support too and that's something Jeannie can - and does - offer.

So that gives him someone to help him realize that getting too involved with his boss is a bad idea. No Eobard/Hartley happening here, but Hartley does still get fairly close to him and the ins and outs of the accelerator project. So Hartley does discover the flaw in the design and get fired for his trouble.

Now Eobard probably heard all about cousin Jeannie Miller and that name wouldn't stand out to him. Why would it? How would he know that she was Jeannie McKay before she got married or why her being a McKay would matter? It's a relatively common name, no way Eobard would connect Hartley to that Dr. Rodney McKay that Eobard probably was a little obsessed with in history class. After all, Eobard would have grown up in a time when the Stargate program had been declassified.

Thus Eobard would have no idea that when faced with being unable to stop his boss from trying to decimate the city with a dangerous accelerator, Hartley would pull out the big guns. He may not know what cousin Rodney does for a living, but he does know that it's a.) for the US military and b.) important enough that Jeannie not only forgave him for fucking off to nowhere for four years but even signed an NDA and spent a few weeks (months?) at Rodney's place of work/hidden blacksite to help on a top secret project.

Hartley reaches out to Rodney and Rodney gets concerned immediately. Maybe the accelerator project reminds him of the Arcturus project what with how it's meant to generate dark energy and is poised to blow up over someone's ego. He probably can't get away immediately, but assuming Sam is back Earthside then he convinces her to look into things. (Does she try to recruit Hartley? Probably. Does he want to work for the military no matter how cool the toys? Probably not. At first, anyway. Show him Earth from a starship window though and he'd probably ask where the sign up sheet is.)

Rodney shows up later and absolutely calls 'Dr. Harrison Wells' an idiot. Eobard doesn't take that well, but it'd be soooo funny.

The accelerator winds up going off anyway because Eobard is determined and whatever members of the SGC I feel like bestowing super powers to are present. The 'meta' gene(s) are absolutely related to the Ancients, though not necessarily the same one(s) that allow for controlling ancient tech. Though, uh, John and Rodney are definitely gonna get super powers because of course they would. That's what their weird luck is like.
