Why this must be read: Because it's five crossovers for the price of one? isiscolo  worked a really tasty mix of Slings & Arrows with some well-known fandoms that starts funny and ends on a sweet note. What makes this an even more fabulous read is that every vignette has a different S&A character. She keeps everyone's voices true and weaves multiple 'verses and endless possibilities that celebrate every fandom that is mentioned.

This short (1,850 words) fic can, on occasion, be flail-inducing. It's that good.



Darren is in London – "not that it has the vibrancy of Berlin or even of Prague, God knows, but at least it's Europe, at least it's not the bloody United States, or worse, Alberta, but at least they have culture," he says to Richard on the phone, the mobile that's costing him a ridiculous amount of money to have activated here but he couldn't manage without it – when a flutter of black in his peripheral vision catches his eye, and he looks up. A man is striding down the sidewalk, a man with stringy black hair and an oversized nose, and, Darren notes delightedly, a long, flowing black cape that billows around him in dramatic swirls. It gives the man an air of authority and vague menace. Darren decides he must have one made for himself.
