Why this must be read:

Missouri calls Sam and Dean and asks them to check out a case of grave desecration in Neptune. As always in Neptune, things are more complicated than they seem.

Set shortly after "Lucifer Rising" for Supernatural (no s5 spoilers), and a few years after the end of Veronica Mars, this story nails the characters from both series, and does a great job showing them interacting. Dean bantering with Veronica is one of my very favorite things, and I also liked Sam and Logan finding common, if tragic, ground.

Two hours later, Dean was happily devouring a cheeseburger in the local diner when Veronica slid into the seat across from him.

"So," said Veronica. "Word on the street is that you're an FBI agent."

"Yes, ma'am," said Dean, easy smile rising to his lips. "Want to see my badge?"

"No thanks," said Veronica coolly. "I've got one of my own."

"Is that so?" said Dean as he methodically slathered ketchup on his fries. "Aren't you a little too hot for an FBI agent?"

"Aren't you a little too alive for a dead person?" she countered.

Dean's hand stilled half-way to the salt shaker.

"Yeah," said Veronica. "That's what I thought. So tell me, Bonnie – where's Clyde?"

"Hold up - why am I Bonnie?" protested Dean indignantly.

"So not the point," said Veronica. "Where's your brother, Dean?"

"So not the point," echoed Dean.

I love crossovers, and this story is a prime example of why. The parallels and resonances between the Winchesters and the various residents of Neptune ring true and shed light on all involved. Plus, there's fun banter, a possible zombie invasion, and Veronica pwning all. What's not to love?
