Two Criminal Minds/Doctor Who (and other fandom) crossover fics

[scandalbaby.livejournal.com]

Title: Ten People He Left Behind (And One He Came Back For)
Rating: PG
Fandoms: Doctor Who crossing over with Warehouse 13, Supernatural, Hawaii Five-0, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Criminal Minds.
Characters: Eleven, Pete & Myka, Dean & Sam, Danny & Grace, Spike & Buffy, Mal & Inara, Garcia (with flashback to Ten)
Spoilers: Set in the 200 year period Eleven was running around in series 6 on the DW end. Set in S1 for W13 (near the beginning, when they were still getting used to everything), sets up an S3 AU for SPN, set in S1 for H50, set post-series (but not Season 8 comics) for BtVS, set post "Serenity" for Firefly and vague spoilers for S7 for CM.
Summary: He met a lot of people. Not all of them came with him. But sometimes, he’d go back for one or two.

Title: The Best Team Bonding Ever (1/?)
Rating: PG
Fandoms: Doctor Who/Criminal Minds.
Characters: Eleven, Garcia, Morgan and Reid in this part. Prentiss, Amy Rory and maybe River will be added in later parts.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. I wish I did, but I don't.
Spoilers: Set after the 2011 Christmas episode of Doctor Who (so 2013, if I reckon correctly by the ending), and that translates into an AU S9 for Criminal Minds. All you need to know is Prentiss has been back for a long while.
Summary: He was bound and determined to prove Morgan wrong, and if that meant most of the BAU had to have an adventure then they'd have the adventure of a lifetime.
