things I learned today

Never read the TV Tropes page for a series you've just started watching. Not even out of curiosity.

ESPECIALLY out of curiosity...

crossovers of awesome

Criminal Minds/SG1-SGA-SGU: Numbers Beyond What You Can Dial by raisintorte - gen, casefiles-ish
Summary: Four times the BAU helped Stargate Command catch a serial killer (and the one time it was just Aliens)
Why?: I don't even watch Criminal Minds, but I'd read a few of wojelah's Rossi/Prentiss fics and figured "oh, what the hell?" This is fun and intriguing - told rather than shown, but still good for the purposes of the fic and with a lovely dry humour to it as a 'real world' person gains insight into the Stargate 'verse.

NCIS/Hawaii Five-O: Hana Hou by littlesammy - NC-17, Steve/Ziva/Tony
Why?: I don't watch Hawaii Five-O either! But! The idea of Steve/Ziva/Tony piqued my interest, and I was intrigued to see how Tony would end up in a threesome. At least, one which involved Ziva and another man. And it works. It really, really works. Plus, Alex O'Loughlin is beyond hot, even in the sun instead of the shadows. :D
