Why this must be read:
I had a hard time finding a crossover fic that wasn't recced yet and I'm pretty sure most of you won't even want to read the story I'm about to rec (for which I'm sorry, really!). On the other hand, I'm strangely baffled and delighted nobody did this one. And I'm really not as kinky as I come across here (what with two BDSM fics in one round and all) but this one is a total must read if you can stand BDSM fics.
Basically, Xanthe created an AU world back in the days when she was writing SGA fics but you don't necessarily need to read those two fics to understand this one. In a nutshell: in this universe, society is divided into Dominants and submissives. It's natural and consensual – at least it should be. There are references to non-consensual acts, but they're not the dominant factor.
It's not so much the BDSM of the story that fascinated me (I never was much into it before). It was Xanthe's ability to take the characters of not only one, but two fandoms, put them into this new universe and keep them as in character as possible. Not only that, this story is also basically a love story, simple as that. It never claimed to be correct in terms of the BDSM scene, it just tells a tale of people falling in love and wanting to spend their lives with each other. Well, that and a really thrilling Action/Adventure story.
Maybe an excerpt from pretty much the beginning of the fic can give you an idea what to expect:
“Nice.” Tony dumped his bag on the table and gazed around the suite of rooms. In the centre was a large living space, complete with big dining table. There was a galley kitchen off to one side and a smaller living room to accommodate anyone wanting some quiet time on their own. The bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, opened off from the main living space. “Very nice,” Tony added appreciatively, throwing himself down on the sofa and putting his feet up on the coffee table. “First the ride on a spaceship, which, once you got over how cool it was, was actually pretty boring, and now this! I will be sleeping tonight on a completely different planet. It's mind-blowing - I feel like I’m starring in my own movie.”
“Would that movie be ‘Zombies from Outer Space’?” Ziva asked. Tony made a face at her.
“Nope. It’d be, ‘Anthony DiNozzo – Intergalactic Hero Cop’,” Tony said, drawing his hand across empty space, imagining the title in his head. “Righter of wrongs, catcher of killers, and the best lay in two galaxies”.
“Even if he does say so himself,” McGee said, rolling his eyes at Ziva. She grinned.
“This, uh, ‘intergalactic hero cop’ – does he solve these crimes all by himself, or does he have any help?” Ziva asked, a dangerous look on her face. Tony shrugged and leaned back on the sofa, arms stretched along its back.
“I expect he has a couple of sidekicks,” he said confidently. “But he’s the hero – the star. They’re just there for show – they do a bit of fetching and carrying for him but he’s the man.”
“Uh huh,” Ziva said, her face a study in straightness. Tony knew that look all too well. He stiffened.
“Gibbs is behind me isn’t he?” he squirmed.
“Yes he is,” a voice said into his ear. “Nice to know your ego has room for a couple of sidekicks though.”
