Hey flist, how you been? I’ve been wanting for ages to update my journal, since I have so many links I want to share (plus I want to bitch about that virus that stole my entire last week and screwed up my work schedule >_<) but, so little time...
But, here’s a fic I discovered today and just have to share right away. It’s a Bones/Buffy crossover and that’s tricky to pull off but I swear, it works. More than that, it’s... ah. You know when you read a fic and it puts you in a good mood all day? Yeah, it’s like that.

Characters: Zach Addy & Andrew Wells, Dr. Daniel Goodman, Giles, Willow, and various other characters from both shows.
Rating: PG-13
[Length: ca 20,000 words]
Summary: Followers of an ancient, bloodthirsty, Celtic god think they have discovered a way to bring him back. The only ones that can stop them are the reformed Watchers' Council—if they can retrieve some ancient artifacts before the cult gets them first. When Rupert Giles discovers that at least one of the artifacts is in the possession of the Jeffersonian Institute, he sends his right-hand man, Andrew Wells, to retrieve it.
I’m really amazed how well these two verses mesh here while those two shows don’t exactly lend themselves to be crossed over. I don’t read many Whedonverse/Bones crossovers but I’m happy I found this one.
What makes this such an enjoyable read is the spot-on dialog. The story is centered around Zack from Bones and Andrew from Buffy and watching them interact is so much fun, when the voices are that well written. The story’s got a satisfying plot as well, and vivid descriptions that draw you right in. On top of that, it's funny as hell. In short, go, read. :)
