Fandom: Supernatural/Stargate Atlantis/Stargate SG-1
Pairing: Gen
Categories: Humor, crack, crossover, action
Length: 62,000 words
Warnings: n/a
Review:
The continuing mis-adventures of SG-22, which is comprised of Evan Lorne (forcibly ejected from Atlantis by its original owners), Neill Jackson (smart-ass clone), and the Winchester brothers (semi-press-ganged civilians).
I'm a sucker for stories that buck fandom trends, which makes this the perfect Supernatural story for for me. Unlike every other long Supernatural story I've ever tried this fic is light and funny and just plain old fun to read. While the story does get a bit serious at times, the overall feel is one of a romp through the galaxy, leaving a string of demolished (uninhabited) worlds in its wake (thanks, Dean!) As a bonus, you also get a couple of surprise cameos.
On the Stargate side of things, I absolutely adore fics that heavily feature Jack's clone and this is one of the best. Neill Jackson is snarky, sly, and very intelligent and he gets on with the Winchester brothers beautifully, whether he's sharing his glee for blowing shit up with Dean or playing gay with Sam.
Though that does bring me to one quibble: the whole Sam/Neill thing goes nowhere, which is disappointing (and, honestly, inexplicable) considering how much that was built up throughout the fic. At first I thought that was something that would be addressed in the sequel (when I realized this was part of a series), but it turns out the other 15 stories in the series all feature Sheppard and Mitchell (?) and appear to have nothing whatsoever to do with this fic. Here they are if you're interested (no promises on quality - I haven't read them).
Still, flopping romances aside, this is a great read, especially if you're in the mood for something funny, light, and exciting.
