Self-indulgent Meta Crossover Malarkey

“What’s this show called again?”

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Surely you’ve seen it before?”

Lex snorted derisively. “Not likely.”

“It’s really nice,” Lana insisted, nodding her shiny brown head emphatically. “There’s a lot of people, working towards good, and then there’s Spike – he’s dreamy....”

Lex looked at his partner dubiously. She was right that having videos playing in the corners of the coffee-house led to patrons staying longer, and ordering more food and beverages. Profits were up; her plan was a good one. But Buffy the Vampire Slayer? He watched for another moment.

Then he caught his breath.

“Who’s that?”

Very similar to my reaction the first time I really paid attention to an episode of Buffy. Mmmmm...

Of course, Lex and Buffy are my OTP. Doesn't really work for this one because it's not a real crossover, but I still want him to react like that.

Thanks for commenting!

See, in your mind he's seeing Buffy. In mine he just got his first good look at all that Spiky goodness.

LOL! Plenty of pretty to go around!

Of course, that would make Lex and Lana attracted to the same person, so it fits right in with the show!

That's exactly what I thought. Spike, Spike and more Spike, especially season 2 Spike.

Season 2 Spike is the best! Of course, to get him Lex would have to get rid of a crazy dark-haired girl. Hmmm.

I like Dru, we just have to find a nice man/woman for her. :)

In my mind Lana would be attracted to Angel. I'm not sure why, except that she seems to be a sucker for the whole redemption thing.

Plus I hate what happened to Spike.

Lana would be attracted to Angel. I'm not sure why

LOL! Sorry. But I am. I don't think she'd be into the redemption thing so much as the tall, dark and loominess of him. I kind of saw her as being a Buffy+Angel 4eva! afficionado, too, but a fair-weather one. Once they spun him off and switched isn't-he-cute guys, I can readily see her going along. She probably liked Riley in s4, IMO, and then after he left she would have gradually switched over to Spike, like a good little member of the Target Demographic.

I hate practically everything that happened in s7 Buffy, not because it messed with my OTP of any kind (which is Lex+Buffy, and all in my head) but because practically nothing that happened followed logically from stuff that had happened before, and not in the fun way, either.

Bwhahahaha...I love it. And Lex promptly builds himself some fancy smancy dimensional thingamabob which allows him to zap himself into TVland and wine and dine his new interest.*G*


This? Hugely cool. *G*

Thank so much! I'm really glad you liked it.

And I want to see Lex building fancy smancy dimensional thingamabobs. After all, he's Lex Luthor!

It was fantastic!

you and me both! Lex is adorable when he's tinkering.

Write it - Dare ya. ;-p

I'll see what I can do. ;-)

Can I make it a "Date" story?

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! Can I force encourage you to read Double Date?

[info]dragonsinger

August 7 2003, 15:21:47 UTC 8 years ago

Possibly. It looks like a fun crossover.

I think Lex just saw Xander. The dark hair, the slight dorkiness... that works for me. Well written.

[info]lastscorpion

August 7 2003, 13:50:16 UTC 8 years ago

That could work, too. Hmm. How come I've never seen any Lex/Xander fic? It seems like they've slashed Xander with everyone else (on Earth!)

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked it!

[info]not_vacillating

August 7 2003, 13:55:24 UTC 8 years ago

Lex/Xander? It's... an idea. There's the whole same-name-game aspect, for starters, and the... I hope that wasn't a challenge. I'm terrible about challenges. I have a nasty habit of taking people up on them.

[info]lastscorpion

August 7 2003, 14:05:38 UTC 8 years ago

LOL! Xander might have a bad reaction to the Luthor name. It would depend on what universe you put it in -- he might be all "Lex Luthor? Evil genius, foe of Superman?" or he might just see him as the spoiled scion of disreputable businessman Lionel Luthor. They've mentioned Superman on BtVS before. There's a vast money chasm between them, but they're both kind of geeks....

[info]not_vacillating

August 7 2003, 16:36:00 UTC 8 years ago

I think it would have to be a 'same universe' deal-- if Xander was, say, a couple of years older than Clark, and we assume that the comics, previous TV series, and movies haven't existed (as various pieces of vampire canon haven't existed in the Buffyverse), then the stage would be set for Lex to meet Xander, and we can take the "spoiled scion of disreputable businessman Lionel Luthor" route quite easily.

There'd have to be some sort of plot to bring them together; an AU, perhaps, in which Lionel sends Lex to a plant in Sunnydale rather than Smallville. Since he only seems to have stuck a pin in a list to decide, it's not that big a change... then Lex starts getting involved-- visits the Bronze, meets Buffy and Willow and Xander there, and we have a Chloe/Pete/Lana/Clark mirror, with perhaps Cordelia as Lana, depending when in the Buffy canon we set it.

Something wierd happens-- a rewrite of a Buffy canon demon-of-the-week or an invented one, and Lex is clued in to what's going on in the town. A little research-- if Giles can find it, Lex can-- and we're away.

Oh dear. I just worked out how to make this possible, didn't I? I think I may be going crazy.

LOL! If it was "Hey, Xander. Hey, Lex." Buffy put her bag away in the hall closet. "Alexander, meet Alexander. Alexander, this is Alexander. Hee." then that was Second Date which is one of mine. Hence the Self-Indulgent Meta Crossover Malarkey of the snippet title. :-)

Alexander, meet Alexander. Alexander, this is Alexander

Bwahh!! Yep, that's the one!! Good stuff!!
