These are all crossovers between two or more fandoms. I decided to just group them into one post instead of breaking them down, especially since they have a lot of fandoms in common.

Several crossovers in several fandoms (X-Files, The Matrix, Gargoyles, Beauty and the Beast, Batman: The Animated Series, Lois and Clark) )

I think that's the official end of my special-reccing month. Thanks for having me! It was really fun :) I have a few more stories I would like to recommend over the next few weeks, I just ran out of time.

P.S. Mods, I don't think there's a tag for The Matrix or Trinity/Neo.

Special Rec: 20/20

Why This Must Be Read: Catherine escapes from Gabriel's prison, determined to save her unborn child even if it means fleeing New York and losing all contact with everyone she has ever known.

This is always the Beauty and the Beast story I remember best. I'm always fascinated with how resourceful Cathy is, desperate to save herself and her child, unable to leave any trace for Gabriel to follow. The story of her survival -- the loneliness, the constant fear, the overwhelming love for her child and the longing for Vincent-- is really compelling.

Fic Title: Take Me Home
Author: Lea

Rating/Warning(s): Unrated; reccer's rating PG-13.
Genre: amnesia, first times, romance
WIP?: No; 13,800 words.

Why This Must Be Read: This is my last special rec for the month so I decided to go with the first fan fiction I loved enough to bookmark on del.icio.us and I've read it several times over the years — a feel good read, if you will. BATB fandom seems to adore the amnesia trope and so do I (it also helps that a lot of amnesia is canon) but most of the time Vincent is the victim and Catherine assists him in remembering his life and her. Lea turns the tables by setting up a plausible scenario in which Catherine is the one with amnesia and has turned her private dreams into a reality for ten days. A wonderfully romantic AU that hits the spot for a bit of all genres.

Fic Title: How Could I Forget Thee?
Author: Lea

Rating/Warning(s): Unrated; reccer's rating R.
Genre: amnesia, first times, romance
WIP?: No. 38,000 words.

Why This Must Be Read: The angsty joy of this fic is second to none. It follows the canon of seasons one and two and borrows the pregnancy and amnesia elements of season three but otherwise it's a SND (she's not dead) fic that is one of the most satisfying that I've had the please to read repeatedly. Vincent's amnesia is difficult for everyone Below but Catherine deals with it gracefully but she doesn't do so without sadness, melancholy, and wistfulness. Vincent's attraction to the new member of the community frightens and intrigues him while his friends and family are delighted even as they keep Catherine's secret. This is one of my favorites because the reader gets to experience Vincent falling in love with Catherine all over again.
