Recommendations Week: Day 6 - Unusual

[lady-aggie.livejournal.com]

Unusual: Stories which are a bit different (but in a good way) from what you normally see. AU's, cross-overs, etc. Maybe even a change in setting? Characters? If you consider it different but brilliant, tell us about it.

I read this at the yahoo group, but since that's membership only, I went searching to see if I could find it elsewhere. Luckily, I could. I'm not sure this truly fits the bill of "unusual," but it's B.J./Trapper, and you're thinking, "Wha? How's that even possible?" The storytelling's heartbreakingly beautiful. This one stays with you a long time.

I'll add my two cents with a MASH/Quantum Leap cross-over from 2002. I read it while it was still a WIP, and I still think about it occasionally. You don't need to know anything about Quantum Leap (aside from, perhaps, the very basic premise) in order to enjoy it. Really well done and believable.
