It's NFL Playoff time. The Redskins lured Joe Gibbs back to coach the team. And College Basketball is just about to get into conference play. It's a fun time of the year for me to be a sports fan. At some point in the next month, I'll get around to the "Why I care so much about sports" post. If for no other reason than to soften the blow for when March comes around and my LJ is inundated with College Basketball related postings.
In the absence of anything else, I offer up modified versions of the Drabbles I posted for this week's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
open_on_sunday challenge - themed around Crossovers. This week, I came up with four. Behold:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Love of a Lifetime
Characters: Andrew Wells, Original Character
Spoilers: BtVS 7.22, “Chosen” , undetermined future
Disclaimer: Property of Mutant Enemy, the Tolkien Estate
Theme: Crossovers (Tolkien’s Middle Earth)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Her leathery skin is coarse as desert stone, and just as pocked with craters. Her mud-brown hair is stiff as steel wool. And her eyes sparkle with timeless mischief.
Andrew never complains (anymore) that it wasn’t the breathtaking Legolas or the kingly Aragorn.
So what if she looks like a miniature version of ZZ Top? When he’s brushing the crumbs and spittle from her rusty beard, he only think of how lucky he is. That she loves him. And she’s just the right height.
Andrew doesn’t know what miracle brought Bris of Durin’s folk to Cleveland. And he doesn’t care.
A.N.: “Bris” is a she-Dwarf. Because Bearded girls need love too.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Title: The Black Man
Characters: Antoine Jackson, Lance, Charles Gunn
Spoilers: AtS 5.01, “Conviction”
Disclaimer: Property of Mutant Enemy & Universal Pictures
Theme: Crossovers (Undercover Brother)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Inexplicably, Wolfram & Hart had hired some obnoxious teenager over Penelope Snow. White She-Devil was almost irresistible.
The Chief remained undaunted. Antoine Jackson was going undercover.
The newest litigation specialist studied his target’s bio. A man from the streets, leaves his ‘hood behind to work for an old, dead, white dude. Flirts with a British guy. Leaves his people to go chasing after a cheerleader. Starts dating skinny white girls with no behinds. He probably likes mayonnaise. Now’s he’s a big-time lawyer.
It was time to recruit Charles Gunn to the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. before this black man became The Black Man.

Title: The Watcher
Characters: Philp Banks, Will Smith, Geoffrey, Robin Wood
Spoilers: BtVS 7.04, “Him” , undetermined past
Disclaimer: Property of Mutant Enemy, Quincy Jones Entertainment
Theme: Crossovers (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
“Will. Have you noticed something odd about Hilary’s new boyfriend? He makes me a little nervous, especially around the girls.”
“Come on, Uncle Phil! In Philly, guys pack heat. So what if he brags about his knife collection? She’s just gonna run him off like the others.”
Unnoticed, Geoffrey slipped into the kitchen and dialed the telephone. “Mister Travers, that Wood boy is sniffing around the house again. I thought I’d made it rather clear he wasn’t to come near my potential and I think he’s fixating on Vivian. Why don’t you relocate him someplace more suitable, like the Hellmouth.”
A.N.: Geoffrey’s British. Ashley’s a teenager. We have a watcher-potential slayer pair.

Title: No the Butler Di’int
Characters: Will Smith, Geoffrey
Spoilers: None

Theme: Crossovers (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Will escorted his newest lady into the mansion. If Lisa couldn’t appreciate his finer qualities, then he’d spend his time appreciating some quality fineness. And working the charm…
“Your hands are pretty cold. Want something warm to drink?” On her eager smile, Will turned to call for Geoffrey. He heard a scream, then a “poofing” noise and found himself in a cloud of dust.
When his eyes cleared, he caught sight of his butler holding a crossbow.
“Master William. I do believe your date was a Vampire. “
“Damn, G! I just thought she was the regular kind of bloodsucker.”
A.N.: Because I just couldn’t do one.

Scary

Re: Scary
What? Like S7?
That's very true. I just couldn't control myself. At least they're drabbles and not full length fics, or full TV seasons.

Hee! And also... HEEHEE! You did it! The Dwarf Ladies finally get some. You go, pimp daddy of the wee folk.
And it' TOO scary to think of Hilary as a Slayer. Egad!
You are a truly twisted individual. I look forward to your explanation of Why Sports Are So Important, 'cause that's one of many things I've just never gotten about men. Is it a numbers thing? 'Cause you know how I feel about those...

There are a lot of different reasons. Taken on a cultural studies level, Sports is about the most accessible metaphor for life the American male has. While most don't look at it that way, or would punch you in the mouth for saying so, I think it's one reason why. When I get around to it, I'll expand.
