I always love a good crossover, but it's rare that I find a really good crossover. And I just finished one that's...really damn good. Good enough that I just have to make a post reccing it.

Browncoat, Green Eyes by nonjon is really one of the best crossovers I've ever read. Dunno if the title gives it away, but it's Harry Potter/Firefly, taking place two years post-Serenity, and written post-OotP. Ships include Simon/Kaylee, past Harry/Luna, and UST with Harry/River and Mal/Inara, and as a warning, Harry is pretty powerful--I know some people don't like that. The story's also almost 300,000 words, so it's pretty epic, and it's posted on ff.net, so I don't know how many people might have read it, since I know a lot of people avoid that site. It's also complete, so no worries about WIPs.

I've read some HP/Firefly crossovers before, but I've never seen one that fits these two universes together so well. What, exactly, fits them together is part of the plot, so I won't give it away, but really, it's just...wow. Awesome. Characterization is great, with lines I thought were rather Whedonesque, and though Harry is different from canon, he's got reason, and it makes sense within the story. There's several original characters, and they're really, really well done. And the plot is just...eeee! Awesome, awesome plot. It's funny, and poignant, and everything I look for in an epic. Just...really. Wonderful, and definitely worth a read for fans of Harry Potter, Firefly, and long stories.
