That’s it for the Crossover Challenge! Thanks so much to everyone who rec’d this week. Anytime you’re looking for a Crossover fix, you can find the recs in Memories or follow the Crossover Challenge tag.

This week is Open Rec Week! If you need a refresher on what that means, check out the community profile.

You have until midnight (wherever you are *g*) Sunday, September 30th to post your recs here!

If you’d like to suggest a challenge or sign up for a week of your own, please go here.

Heads up! Starting next week (unless someone signs up for that week) we'll be starting a series of 'Introduction to Numb3rs' themes. You're introducing someone to Numb3rs, what are the three eps you sit them down to watch, the 3 vids you want them to see, the 3 fic they just have to read? Each 'introduction' week will focus on one aspect of fandom, episodes, fanart, fic, vids, essays, etc, so start picking out your must-sees and must-reads now! (These 'introduction' weeks will not be one right after the other, but will be scattered over the next few months, interspersed with our regular themes, most likely on weeks designated for assignment that no one signs up for.)

Pairing/Characters: Charlie/Willow
Rating: PG13

Why I'm rec’ing this fic: I thought the author came up with a great way to blend the Numb3rs and BtVS ‘verses. And can’t you just imagine it when Charlie and Willow get talking? *g*

Title: Go-Cart Charlie
Author: Red Soprano
Pairing/Characters: Charlie-centric
Rating: PG13
Length: 25,000
Why I'm rec’ing this fic: I read this fic when it was nominated for the first round of Numb3rs Awards, without really knowing anything about Medium, except of course, that she talks to dead people, and I enjoyed the story very much. I didn’t feel like I missed out, not having watched Medium, and the relationship between the Eppes boys rang very true to me.
