I was on a Mummy kick and created three Photomaps pairing Xander with Imhotep and Ardeth Bay.

Here are the links:

• The Hyena Knight and the Desert Mage (Imhotep)
• The Medjai’s Bed Slave (Aredth Bay)
• The Medjai’s Knight (Aredth Bay)

This is a story banner for a story called “Champion of War” by LLN which is a (Xander/Spike, implied Xander/Ares, Ares/Joxer, others as the come) slash crossover between BTVS & Hercules/Xena. It can be read here “Champion of War”.

You can view the photomap at this link:

This is a wonderful story that is a multi-fandom crossover with fandoms from Hellsing, BTVS, Anita Blake, Angel, House, James Bond, 24, and Harry Potter.  You might not think that such diverse fandoms could function well together but they do.  I look forward to each and every new chapter as it is posted.

Should warn you this is a WIP and can be read here Neverwhere by Immortal Beloved.

This is a wonderful sequel to “Learning Curve” where the write has explore Xander’s new powers and his relationship with the rest of the Scooby Gang and his developing relationship with Spike. 

You can read the story at the following link Experience Curve by Litgal.

This is a wonderful slash crossover between BTVS and The Sentinel where Xander is sent to study the only known Sentinel by Willow who thinks he has become a danger to himself.  There he finds out that he has more in common with Blair than being a trouble magnet, that he is also a Shaman.  Spike finds out about the Shaman and comes to rescue Xander only to find out that Xander is also one.

This is not your typical super Xander but one that has all the quirks that make up the Xander Harris without turning him into brood boy. 

If you like to read the story follow the link Learning Curve by Litgal but be warn there is slash.

I came across a wonderful crossover between NCIS and BTVS with a suprise slash pairing at Twisting the Hellmouth.  I so enjoy the story I had to do a story banner for it and here is the link:

Just saw the first episode of the new season of Torchwood, and all I have to say is wow!  James character was 2/4 Spike without a soul, 1/4 Spike with a soul, a touch of James Bond, a dash of Captain Kirk stir and will you get Captain John Hart.  A charming, seductive, and Big Bad to quote Spike who is a murder, thief, and Time Cop.

As to the on air chemistry between John’s and James’s characters … will it certainly lived up to everything I heard about.  From the moment they saw each other the air sizzled with tension.  They walked towards each other from different ends of the bar, reminisce of an old west standoff until they stood face to face.  You didn’t know if they would start hitting each or kiss each other senseless and then bang!  They kiss and not just any kiss.  The type of kiss where you swear the two were check to see if the other still had their tonsils.   And then they parted to look each other in the eye and then they start fighting.  When the Torchwood team showed up Jack and Jack started to argue about who was the wife during the 5 year time loop they were stuck in.

I’m not going to say anything more about the plot of the story but one thing I was please to note that Ianto didn’t like Hart nor was he pleased at the interest that he took in his Captain.Now the interesting there is an interesting development hinting at John Harkness’s background and that Marster’s character might make other appearances in Torchwood.All in all it is a must see episode.

Heath Ledger died on January 22, 2008 and according to reports the NY City chief medical examiner could not find the cause of death based on the autopsy performed this morning.

There are reports that he was sick with pneumonia and was taking the sleeping drug Ambien which has been reported to have some really weird side effects.

To honor him, I created two memorial photomaps:
