The Once and Future King
The Minbari fleet is coming. Earth is doomed. In order to save the human race from the end of the world, Earthforce needs everyone. Crossover with Babylon 5.
Characters: David McIntyre

The man is psychologically unstable, the doctors said. You can't put him in a ship!

Can he tell human from Minbari? Can he shoot straight? asked the Earthforce officer.

He thinks he's King Arthur!

He's going to be dead, just like the rest of us, when the Minbari get here! We need every pilot, every gunner – even if he thinks he's the Once and Future King – to hold the Line!

So, despite his shattered psyche, David McIntyre (who, curiously enough, was once known as Artorius) was placed in a ship as they prepared for the twilight of the human race.

Antiquities
One of the pitfalls of being an Immortal is occasionally being recognized decades later. Crossover with NCIS. Based loosely on a prompt by CaraLee.
Characters: Ducky Mallard, Jethro Gibbs, Tony DiNozzo, Connor MacLeod

Ducky suddenly paused in his monologue; he picked up one of the photos, staring intently at it.

"Duck? What is it?" Gibbs prompted.

"Jethro, do you remember that French police officer? Jacques Lefebert?"

"The one you shoved off a cliff? Hard to forget. Why is this important, Duck?"

Wordlessly, Ducky pointed out the man standing behind their target, engaged in conversation with another party guest. Sandy hair and an intense expression, he was an absolute dead ringer for the French cop… decades ago.

"Wait, that's Russell Nash. Dad knows him," Tony interjected in bemusement. "He looks… weirdly good for sixty-odd..."

Order 66
Jedi Master Methos is leading clone troopers on a distant planet in the Outer Rim when Order 66 is enacted. Crossover with Star Wars.
Characters: Methos

Methos felt the ripple in the Force a moment before it happened. Hundreds of voices crying out in terror before being snuffed out into silence.

Then his clone troopers turned as one, raising their blasters. Not waiting to think, Methos used the Force to throw himself sideways, right off the cliff, while simultaneously knocking all the troopers on their backsides.

Unfortunately, one managed to get a shot off. It was a long way to the winding river below, but at least Methos wasn't alive when he hit bottom.

By the time he revived (soaking wet), the Jedi Order was dead.

The Breathtaking Scope of Corruption
An agent of the Department of Children and Family Services arrives at the Hyperion-8 Maximum Security Galactic Detention Facility to take Emily Kolburn, otherwise known as Five, into his custody. Crossover with Dark Matter. Significant spoilers for Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2.
Characters: Matthew McCormick, Five/Emily Kolburn (mention only), Chief Inspector Shaddick (mention only), Warden Treihan
Author's Notes: I chose Matthew McCormick's surname Salisbury in this story in recognition of the character's birthplace, Salisbury, England. I can only imagine the disgust and frustration a person like McCormick would feel at the sheer magnitude of the corruption that appears to be totally systemic to the society that the crew of the Raza inhabits...

DCFS Agent Matthew Salisbury arrived at the Hyperion-8 Maximum Security Galactic Detention Facility expecting to take Chief Inspector Shaddick to task for her high-handed treatment of Emily Kolburn, a minor under GA law.

Instead, he found Shaddick was dead, as were two Zairon soldiers and a GA cop; plus numerous prisoners and guards with significant injuries, six prisoners somehow escaped, Derrick Moss murdered, and Kolburn simply missing.

He located Warden Treihan in his office, drinking himself into a stupor.

A good choice, given his prospects. Matthew grimaced in disgust at the breathtaking scope of corruption the universe had come to.

Cassandra's Truth
Rowena Ravenclaw, formerly known as Cassandra, speaks a truth, but no one ever believes the prophecies of Cassandra. Crossover with Harry Potter.
Characters: Rowena Ravenclaw, Cassandra, Helga Hufflepuff

"Rowena? What ails you?" Helga sat down next to her friend, who was staring pensively into space.

The dark-eyed witch once known as Cassandra smiled sadly.

"This plan of ours, this magical school…"

"It's wonderful, is it not?" Helga's face lit up with excitement. "Just imagine, countless generations of witches and wizards learning the mystic arts in its halls!"

"But dividing the houses in such a way, it could lead to conflict. Loyalty, intelligence, bravery, and ambition are all wonderful, but they should not decide a child's fate!"

"You worry overmuch, Rowena."

Alas that no one ever believed Cassandra's prophecies...

Never Underestimate a Doctor
Methos is called in to treat a Company officer who has a tiny little issue... Crossover with Killjoys. Spoilers for Season 2 Episode 3, "Shaft."
Characters: Methos, Liam Jelco, Pawter Simms (mention only)

Methos couldn't help it. He burst into uncontrolled laughter. The infuriated expression on Liam Jelco's face only made it worse.

"Don't just stand there, you dunce, help me!" the Company officer shouted.

The Immortal's mirth only redoubled.

"You… held a doctor… a member of the Nine Families… hostage… forced her to do your daily ministrations… and you were surprised..." he managed to gasp. "...she put your own bomb in your chest!"

"I'm paying you dearly for your discretion, Doctor!" Jelco's whole face was an remarkable florid shade.

"I'd do this for free, but from you, I want double," Methos grinned.

Welcome to Equestria
Fitz finds himself in a whole new world. Crossover with My Little Pony. Written in response to a prompt by Cyberbutterfly.
Characters: Hugh Fitzcairn, Twilight Sparkle, Spike

"Well, this is unexpected," Fitz remarked as he glanced around with interest. The whole world had transformed into pastels and sparkles.

A purple unicorn and the equally-purple tiny dragon were staring at him.

"Um…" the unicorn seemed at a loss for words. Fortunately, Fitz always had more than enough words for any occasion.

"Hello, my good unicorn! Would you happen to know the way back to Paris? I'm afraid I got caught up in some sort of magical confluence."

"You seem… rather calm about being snatched up by stray magic," the dragon observed.

"I've seen odder things, believe me!"

The Booze Strikes Back
Obi-Wan claws his way back to sobriety after fellow Jedi Master Methos offered him a drink at a local bar... Crossover with Star Wars. Written in response to a 145-word short by Cyberbutterfly.
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Methos

The famed Negotiator looked like three-day-old nerf stew, and that was downright generous.

"What was in that glass you gave me, Methos?" Obi-Wan demanded, red-eyed, of his fellow Jedi.

"Enough to have you reciting bad poetry proclaiming your love for the Duchess of Mandalore," Methos teased.

To Methos's surprise, Obi-Wan's face turned green.

"I didn't ."

Hmmm… now that was curious. Methos decided to have mercy. Of a sort.

"No, but you were dancing and singing karaoke with a Lasat and a Twi'lek.

"Oh, thank the Force. Wait, hang on. You didn't record any of this, did you?"

Methos grinned wickedly.

Sea Change
From her hermitage far from the front lines of the stupid and pointless century-long war between the Syndics and the Alliance, Cassandra suddenly senses something that will change things for everyone. Crossover with The Lost Fleet.
Characters: Cassandra, John Geary

Cassandra gasped as she felt a sudden wave of overwhelming emotion burst through her. She hadn't felt this sort of sea change since the Syndics had started this stupid bloody war a hundred years before. (And for what? Both the Alliance and Syndics were now on the brink of collapse.)

Something had happened.

Her Sight crossed light years in the blink of an eye, to the deck of distant Alliance ship, to a man being carried from a battered, ancient survival pod, his mortal essence a faint ember waiting to be coaxed back to life.

John Geary had been found.

Smarter Than He Looks
There's something about Jayne... the guy with the cunning hat is not all he appears to be. And River knows it.
Characters: Jayne, River

"You're not very nice."

Jayne nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden appearance of the doctor's crazy sister.

"I'm not paid to be nice," he growled, annoyed that she managed to sneak up on him again.

She smiled that creepy smile of hers.

"It's not nice to Watch. They don't like it."

Jayne got a sudden cold feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"I'm not even gonna try to interpret that nonsense," he lied, his uneasiness reaching an all-time high.

"I'll keep your secret. I'm full of secrets." She smiled again. "Your secret will Watch the others."
