So. I require a bit of a distraction from the fact that Doctor Who airs on Saturday and it's only WEDNESDAY. And I figure, while I'm all ridiculous-crossover-y lately, it might be a good time for a sort of informal challenge request.

Below the cut, you will find a list of fandoms. Ask for crossovers. I will do my best to provide at least a scenario, if not a snippet into the bargain. These are fandoms I'm comfortable with dabbling in at the moment, so I'd appreciate it if you stuck to the list, though of course if I've forgotten something you know I can do, ask for it. And if there's something you really want to see but you're not sure, ask me about it. I might be able to do it anyway. (But no baseball RPS, ALEX. I'd prefer fictional crossovers.) Feel free to ask for more than one; I will do my best to accommodate. Though if you nail me with a huge list I reserve the right to pick and choose. ALEX.

Iron Man/Torchwood, with a bonus shot of Jeeves and Wooster thrown in for fun. I don't know how familiar you are with J&W, but this should make sense either way. I hope. I really ought to be in bed, but this nailed me and I had to write it first.



The Junior Ganymede is, as I have told Mr Wooster and previous employers, a club for gentlemens' personal gentlemen. I have never mentioned, however, that it extends further than one might think, and that said personal gentlemen are not always gentlemen.

Usually, when I go to the Ganymede, I remain in its outer circles. It is perhaps I a bit shortsighted of me, but I am most comfortable within the confines of my own place and time. Occasionally, though, I venture into the back, where exists a more complex arrangement of the continuum, accessible to all who are allowed admittance into their own Ganymede.

Today, the company is a bit sparse, but I see two of my fellow members with whom I have passed previous agreeable visits. I cross the room to join them.

"Miss Potts," I say with a nod, sitting down. "Mr Jones." Ianto Jones and Virginia Potts - or "Pepper," as she calls herself - are both from the same year, though they have not, in past discussion, been able to ascertain whether they are also both from the same dimension.

"Mr Jeeves," Miss Potts smiles. "How good to see you. I was hoping you'd show up. I've got quite a story."

"She says it will put Captain Harkness to shame," Mr Jones adds. "I say he doesn't know the meaning of the word."

"Oh, there's no way I'm losing this round, Ianto," Miss Potts insists, confirming my long-held suspicions that they are less formal with each other when I am not present. "There's just no way."

"I'm sorry, you do know which Captain Jack Harkness I work for?" Mr Jones asks dryly. He glances at me and continues, "For that matter, one can never really tell what Mr Wooster has gotten up to in any given week."

"Miss Potts has no competitions from these quarters," I say. "Mr Wooster has continued much the same since last we spoke." I do not believe this state of affairs will continue, as Mr Wooster has begun to exhibit signs of boredom and will no doubt be seeking entertainment soon, but this in itself is not worth addressing, so I don't.

"That should explode any day now," Miss Potts remarks, reminding me that she is a very astute woman indeed.

"Well put," I agree. Miss Potts smiles and says,

"Anyway. Tony - sorry, I mean Mr Stark - has decided he's going to be a superhero."

This is rather outside my frame of reference, as tends to happen when conversing with someone from a future year, so I remain silent and listen for context.

"What, just - randomly?" Mr Jones asks, looking somewhat astonished, from which I gather that familiarity with the term is not necessarily of much use.

Miss Potts laughs. "He's been planning it! He has this big metal suit to fly in and everything!" She pauses, her expression softening; her voice, when she resumes, has a distinctly warmer tone to it. "It's pretty cool, actually. He's really getting serious about working to help others. He's changed a lot." She smiles. "I'm pretty proud of him."

A moment passes, then Mr Jones says, "Well, you win. All I've got is a story about films coming to life." He frowns slightly, looking perturbed. "Not really sure what was going on there, to be honest."

Having concluded that a superhero is precisely what the superlative would imply, I nod to Miss Potts. "I am glad to hear Mr Stark has recovered from his ordeal. I hope your situation will continue to improve."

"I think it will, Mr Jeeves," she says. "I really think it will."

Oh I love it! I'm familiar enough with J&W to enjoy it, though I've only read one of the books years ago and never seen the Stephen & Hugh version (someday!).

And I love Pepper and Ianto. That club should so exist.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

I kind of got the idea from Discworld's L-Space, with all the libraries in all the dimensions conjoined. I was thinking about Pepper and Ianto, and how I had just the other day been wanting fic with Ianto and Jeeves commiserating, and then I went, "YES THE JUNIOR GANYMEDE IS LIKE L-SPACE." Thanks for knocking that idea loose. :D

[coneyislandbaby]

No problem. I like this idea a lot. And Jeeves makes me giggle.

*squeaky flail* I LOVE the idea of a gentlemen's gentlemen's club (where the gentlemen aren't necessarily gentlemen) although I confess at the beginning I had the idea it might be Jarvis he was going to speak to. :)

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Jarvis would totally deserve membership at the Junior Ganymede. Pepper just has to convince the Powers That Be that he's greater than the sum of his programming.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Would that mean that Mr. Smith could be a member? OMG

CAT. YOU HAVE TO WRITE MR. SMITH/JARVIS.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

OMG that would be awesome. Mr Smith could totes be a member. I mean, there was that whole turning evil thing, but hell, if they let Brinkley stick around after repeatedly attempting murder and also committing arson, I think they'd probably let Mr Smith's whole trying-to-destroy-the-world thing slide.

Writeitwriteitwriteit I want to see how you make conceptional systems have sex.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Dude, I can barely write actual porn. I think conceptual porn is perhaps a bit beyond me. *g*

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

It might be easier, you never know.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Certainly different vocabulary.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I had to write porn between two pangolin-like humanoids who have no verbal communication or verbal concepts recently.

C'MON.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

I - really don't think I could manage.

I think a battle of the firewalls type of thing would be more fun, anyway. I shall have to ponder this.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Fair enough! Can there be people spectating and groaning about the computer equivalent of dick-swinging?
