Why do I feel like Ricky is someone I know from somewhere else and this is a crossover?

Very nice Connie. I worry about Dennis.

I was wondering exactly the same thing, Deena.

The bit with the chalkboard broke me. Poor Dennis.

I was trying to figure out if I should know Ricky, too.

As for the "fish & chips" thing ... I admit that when I was in Leicester Square last month, I didn't notice any, but I'm not a big fried foods person so it's possible I just didn't notice them.

Can't resist.

This week's Sunday 100 is crossovers, no Buffy/Angel allowed.

Here's mine. In The Box (Homicide:Life On The Street - BtVS)

"She's smart, isn't she?"

Tim met Frank's eye. He'd posed the question; Frank would respond. They were clicking, in sync, unstoppable, God's Detective and Zen Man. The pretty blonde suspect didn't stand a chance.

"Depends how you define 'smart'." Frank, all kinetic energy and righteous anger, slammed his open palms against the table. "If she was smart, she'd tell us about what happened in the alley last night."

"Oh, please." The blonde yawned. "Show me the body. You've got dust. And I'm out of here."

Watching through the one-way glass, Lieutenant Giardello shook his head. The girl had a point

Ack. That's another one I won't be able to write, then (don't participate in other fandoms seriously enough). Which makes two out of the last three.

Yours seems pretty good tho, Deb.

Deb, I love this. I was just thinking of doing a longer one surrounding the Jenny Calendar murder, but I thought I should put the pipe away. But now I think I want to do it.

Thanks, Lyra. I just adored the idea of watching Braugher and Secor do their FranknTim thing at Buffy - and get nowhere. "Look, girly, we have nine witnesses saw you shove a piece of wood into a guy behind The Waterfront Diner last night!" "Show. Me. The. Body."

erika, with H:LOTS???? Yesyesyesyesyes!

Quick! More pipe for you!

Yep, with say, Munch and Kay, instead of the "deeply stupid" Sunnydale PD. Oh, if only my own characters could hold my attention like that, grr argh. Because, everyone in fandom says how dumb it is that a victim's honey would be let go so easily. And Kay had a ghost visit her once. I could totally see Frank and Tim trying to give Buffy the Out, you know, some people need killing, you were just trying to protect yourself, blah blah.

I know! This was the hardest drabble I've done to date, because my soul just flatout yearns to write an entire season of H:LOTS.

I have the fantasy crossover in my head, where it turns out Luther Mahoney is actually a vampire. But I'm never going to write it, because Luther Mahoney was better written and better portrayed than any other TV villain in history, and I don't mess with perfection.
