The Avengers Movieverse Fanfic Review: The Photograph by sam_storyteller

Fanart by Res-Gestae

I know what a crack fic is. I've seen and read crack. I've had crack. But this. This is too well done to be just labeled crack.

Here's the situation: set after the big damn movie, Tony Stark gathers the team to live in the newly-rebuilt Avengers Tower. Seems to be all fine, at first. But for all smarts that our millionaire-genius-playboy-philanthropist was supposed to have, he never had the experience of dealing with roomies. Until now.

Especially when Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America - of all people - inadvertently turned the place into a nudist colony while cooking breakfast.

By all rights, Tony . He'd seen a lot of people naked. He might even like to see a few select number of people naked - female ones, anyway. But there's something about seeing a butt-naked Thor that makes even him want to back away. That, and Hawkeye in superhero underwear.

And all it took was a routine fire drill to get some sense back into everyone's heads.

Haruhi Suzumiya & Doctor Who Crossover Fanfic Review: Worst Day Ever by Sharper Than the Sword

Fanart by mell0w-m1nded

This crossover had been bound to happen. Aliens, time travelers, espers, a would-be god, and an ordinary human roped into the mess... Did we just describe the cast of Haruhi Suzumiya or the recurring elements of Doctor Who?

Heck, the name "John Smith" pretty much guaranteed it.

The story could  be simplified as thus: the SOS Brigade - bar Haruhi - meet the Doctor (Tenth, my personal favorite), they go to Dairy Queen (in China), they try to keep him a secret from their boss, Haruhi finds out anyway, universe goes boom. And all it took for the latter to happen was the name "John Smith." Not too long, nothing too serious. Which is why I think if this story was polished a little bit more, it would make a hilarious episode in the style of the Haruhi-chan spinoff show.

What's also fun about it is the little thought exercise of reading this in each of the characters' respective voices. That would be hearing Crispin Freeman and David Tennant hamming it out in our heads.

Mind blown.

Imagine Kyon near freaking-out at the absurdity of the situation? Bit out-of-character for him, but still funny. Hearing Crispin Freeman as Kyon near freaking-out at said situation? Definitely funny. Hearing Crispin Freeman as Kyon near freaking-out the same way he does in the Haruhi-chan gag dub? Along with Tennant's cheeky glib? Priceless.
