Fic: Crash, TW/SG1, PG, Gen

[starrylizard]

Okay this one is a random that's on my hard drive. There was to be more of it, but I doubt any more is going to be written, so I'm posting it as a one-shot. Also, heaven knows where to post it, any ideas? :P

Title: Crash
Author: starrylizard
Fandom: Torchwood/Stargate SG1 (O_o I know!)
Rating: PG, Gen
Characters: Jack, Owen, Tosh, Gwen
Summary: An invisible spaceship crashes over Cardiff.
Notes: A random one-shot, since I doubt I'll write any more. Thanks to sakuracorr for the quick once-over.



The crash site was surrounded and cordoned off by police by the time they arrived, the Black SUV parking with a small squeal of breaks.

“Torchwood. Coming through. Let us through.” Captain Jack pushed his way through the crowd and under the barrier, moving with an arrogant air and a sense of purpose. The rest of the team followed close behind. The police rolled their eyes, but otherwise did nothing to stop them.

“Okay, standard procedures. We need to find out what exactly crashed here and…” Jack stopped talking as he walked into something very solid and completely invisible, shaking his head to ward off the dizziness.

“It’s completely invisible!” Tosh put out her hands, feeling the edges of the spacecraft, her eyes widening in scientific delight.

The shielding flickered, giving them their first glimpse of what it was. “Have you ever seen anything like this, Jack?” Gwen, standing further back from the others, could see the solid outline of the ship. It was a dull gold and covered in symbols, hieroglyphs. The front end was pointed and widened out to a much wider back.

“I’ve seen technologies for invisibility before. I used to own a ship that could do that. Had nanotechnology installed that healed injuries in seconds, but I’ve never seen one quite like this.” Jack had stepped back to look too and, as the ship’s cloak finally stopped working altogether, he made his way around to the back to where there was an open hatch.

“Weapons at the ready, people. Let’s see what’s inside.”

All four team members edged into the craft, finding the inside strewn with boxes. “Looks like some kind of cargo ship.” Tosh lowered her weapon to flip open the locking mechanism on the nearest box. “Get a load of these.” She pulled out some random-looking devices.

There was a moan from the forward section of the ship. “Over here. I found someone.” Gwen knelt down beside the man. He was dressed strangely, like something out of a Ghengis Khan movie. “It’s okay. We’ll help you. Owen, he needs your help!”

As Gwen watched, the man’s eyes slid shut and his head listed to the side. She felt for a pulse and held her hand in front of his mouth, feeling for his breath. “Owen! He’s not breathing.”

“Alright, I hear you. You know CPR?” At Gwen’s nod, Owen started chest compressions, somehow managing to look put-out while he did it. “Tosh, there’s a portable defibrillator in the car. Would you…?”

“On it.” Tosh took off at a run.

Gwen scrunched her face up for a moment, before tilting the man’s head back and breathing air into his lungs on Owen’s count. A sharp sting at the back of her throat made Gwen stop and sit up.

“Gwen? You alright?” Jack asked from where he stood behind her, still aiming his pistol at the unmoving man.

Tosh returned and Gwen seemed to snap back to herself, waving over her shoulder as she stood to make room for the defibrillator. “Fine Jack. Just fine.” Jack didn’t see her eyes glow gold for just a moment as she looked away.

Okay this sets up a very interesting premise. I'd like to read more if you wanted to write more. I totally see more of these two shows being able to crossover in fan fic. (or that maybe my wildly vivid imagination...)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's always good to know. :)
I really was meaning to write more, but I can't seem to get a coherent plot going in my head. Maybe I will eventually, we'll see. :)

[ljmckay.livejournal.com]

HaHA! That is so strange! And so hilarious. :D I'd love to see where this could go - it works surprisingly well!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I know, it's weird huh! :)
Thanks! I may yet get it going again, but at the moment I'm struggling to form a plot, so it's being set aside for the moment. That scene just had to be written though. :)

[kirei-seimei.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweet! That works really well! I can totally see Jack and/or the rest of the team being annoyed that Downing Street hadn't revealed their knowledge of the USA's Stargate program... or perhaps Jack knew after all?

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly, plus the SGC would definitely have tracked that ship and they'd be on their way to fight over it. :P
The ideas are there, but I haven't a clue how to write it. Maybe one day. Thanks for reading! :)

hehehe, cool!

I was going to suggest some kind of SG1 crossover comm (I know there's one, surely?) But I think there migh be a comm that is specifically for sci fi crossovers (speaking of lj, obv).

If you do a search looking for an interest in crossovers something appropiate should pop up :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I ended up posting to a general crossover comm that I totally forgot I was a member of and I got the TW newsletter to link me. That'll do. :)

Thanks for reading! :)

Interestingly done, wondering what type of SG related spacecraft has crashed in Cardiff? Whose jurisdiction does this fall under? The SGC, or Torchwood. Very curious to see where you are going to take this, and how you are going to combine the Stargate'verse with the Whoniverse.

Also consider posting this to my Whoniverse crossover community dw_crossovers

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reading! I can say the ship I tried to describe is a Tel'tak - A Goa'uld cargo ship, which is generally unarmed, can have a cloaking shield and would have a ring device. As to the rest, all interesting questions. :) I may one day try to answer. I'm a little stuck at the moment as to how to continue, but I'd like to. I have loads of ideas.

Also thanks for the comm info. I'll post it over there today. :)

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I like this and it would be good to see more... Gwen as a Goa'uld and possible SGC/TW interaction being the least of it. Thanks for posting!

A well as dw_crossovers, other crossover comms that might be worth a look are crossing_who and crossoverfic

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[rat-hospital.livejournal.com]

Excellent. TW/ Stargate mesh very well indeed. This works as a one-shot but could easily be continued. Even ignoring Gwen's...condition. Turf war hell. SGC vs Torchwood...and who's this? Oh look it's UNIT. Get that many alien experts together and well...Tosh and Sam can geek out together. Jack and Teal'c can have a heart to heart.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Hee, true! I'm a bit lacking in SG1 canon as far as the politics goes, so I'll have to do a little digging before I'm game to continue. That or throw some SGA characters into the mix, but the ideas are all there. :)
Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed. :)

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Fantastic premise. I hope you plan to continue

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I may continue, but I'm still sorting out where it should go. :)

[frenzied.livejournal.com]

That's all kinds of ominous!
But a great start. I hope you pick this up again!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

Ok, made a podfic of this for amplificathon. In the process of editing, but it'll be posted later tonight. OMG, do you know how hard it is to pronounce "defibrillator" while on record??!! LOL!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Haha! Awesome! Thanks! I've never had anyone podfic my stuff, but me. And I'd forgotten all about this fic. *G*

Look forward to it. :D

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

I was looking for short fics that weren't written by me to record! And this has the added bonus of being a xover and I can claim 2 fandom points! Hee!

My accent is seriously weird and all over the place, but what the heck! I'm having fun. ;)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

As long as you're having fun, it's all good. :D
