What is it that draws you to NCIS/White Collar crossovers?

That one is two fold... I have a tendency to take previous fandom love and mesh with new fandom love when I find a new one. I consider BtVS to be my first writing fandom (although not my first fandom posted to the interwebs). When ever I start writing in a new fandom, I tend to crossover with previous fandoms. So that is why you will see a lot of crossovers from me. Mixing old and new loves together.

Also, crossovers have always been my favorite thing about fanfiction as a whole. Before I even knew what the internet was, I came up with stories in my head for reasons to have characters from shows A, B, C, etc. to meet. Heck, I even used my barbie dolls and fisher price people to act out my story ideas. I think the earliest I remember was that they were all stranded on a island like in EXILE and at some point various dolls would end up with super powers (who knows which show those ideas came from, since I watched quite a few with super abilities). And the first one I actually wrote to paper was I Still Dream of Jeannie, Swamp Thing and Highlander crossover. So, yeah, crossovers make me happy. :)

And thirdly, because I can't count, Neal and Tony. Together. Nuff said. :)

What are your top 3 (or 5) AU settings you'd like to explore but haven't written yet?

#01: Space AU... It is one of my Lucky 13 AUs to be written and I made 2-3 starts on it last year, but just haven't found the 'voice' I want for it yet. It is the final frontier after all.

#02: High School AU... I secretly like to read the occasional high school AU from authors that I enjoy other fic from and off/on have pondered toying with one myself. Still not sure though.

#03: Vampire AU... Yes, I have written vampire fic, but they've all been short ones. I really, really need to revisit my NCIS WIP that has vampire!Tony as vampire!Gibbs sire. Because I really like the world in my head and that I have this really awesome idea for human!McGee's origin in the story.

#04: Military AU... This is another Lucky 13 fic to be written that will ultimately be Gibbs/Shannon/Tony. In my head, Tony is a young soldier who ends up POW with Gibbs. They form a bond and when they come home... Well, that's what the story will be for.

#05: To Be Determined... Since you were the only one (so far) to ask questions, you are the lucky winner of giving me a prompt for an AU that I didn't list above and is not on my Lucky 13 list. Choose wisely with your prompt. ;)

Tell me about Abby!

Abby, Abby, Abby... I've always seen her as a unit of Gibbs and/or Tony. Since they are my primary go to characters, she tends to get relegated to the sidelines or playing matchmaker for the two. I do find her 'voice' harder to capture at times which may be why I don't write her as much. I also love the relationship that she had with Tony in the beginning of the series. They played off each other well and I could always picture them as being Friends with Benefits. Though the few times I tried to write Tony/Abby fics, Gibbs always joined in. It was like he couldn't let them play alone.

A Magic AU, eh? I think I can wave a wand for that. I do like the idea of Neal being a poser in a magical world when he doesn't have any real magical ability. *ponders this*
