Why this must be read:
I know that they're not everyone's cup of tea, but I adore crossovers. I had trouble settling on just one to rec, so I decided not to settle. So this week you'll get two crossovers recs, instead of one.
This is a gen fic, but it doesn't skimp on emotional connections between the characters. Taking place after an AU version of BtVS Season 5, Magical Cage brings Xander, Willow, and Spike together with SG-1 and follows as they join forces to fight the baddies and get home. Outsider POV can be fascinating when it's done well, and Jack's perspective on the Scoobies is great both for what it reveals about them and what it reveals about him.
“I’m Willow Rosenberg, and this is Xander Harris and Spike.” A boy with dark brown curly hair and wide eyes stepped out of the shadows. Jack supposed he shouldn’t call him a boy since Jack had joined the Air Force by eighteen and the boy looked to be about that age, but then again, he didn’t look old enough to be traveling such dangerous territory, and the sword strapped to his hip didn’t seem like particularly good defense against goa’uld technology.
“Um, hi,” the young man said with a nervous expression, but Jack trusted Daniel to put the group at ease and then he could get some answers. “Xander Harris,” the young man offered even though the girl had just introduced him, and Jack wondered what culture the name ‘Xander’ came from.
Go. Read. Love. Tell the author.
