It's finally up! A while ago, I mentioned that [livejournal.com profile] xenokattz and I had created the Best Crossover Ever with the OTP of cute.

This is that crossover.

Oxygen Variations

Katt ([livejournal.com profile] xenokattz) and I present The Oxygen Variations, a collection of stories centering around Jason White (of Superman Returns fame) and Lian Harper (of DC comics fame).

TITLE: The Oxygen Variations
FANDOM: DC comics/Superman Returns crossover
CHARACTERS: Ensemble, though mainly Jason White and Lian Harper at this point. Eventual pairings include Clark Kent/Lois Lane/Richard White, Roy Harper/Dick Grayson and Tim Drake/Conner Kent.
RATING: Eventual Teen/Mature.
SUMMARY: Two families growing up together as seen through the eyes of Jason White and Lian Harper.

NOTE: Katt and I have had many a long, detailed and geektastic discussion about this crossover and how best to meld comics canon with Superman Returns canon. We even have a very extensive spreadsheet. Because of the nature of comic canon and movie canon, some significant changes have been made, but rest assured that nothing has been decided without extensive discussion--and probably a lot of squee.
CONTINUITY: Currently--post Superman Returns. Coinciding DC continuity illustrates the afforementioned canon-twisting; WAY pre-Infinite Crisis--in fact, pre-Death of Superman. However, Dick is Nightwing and Roy is Arsenal--a member of the JLA. Tim is not yet Robin.


NOW AVAILABLE:
--Dueling Intros, wherein Katt and I explain precisely how this insanely awesome Crossover of Glee and the OTP of Cute came about. (There is also an explanation of the carefully chosen title.)
--Stranger Like Me: Lian Harper has just moved to Metropolis for Gr. 1. and Jason White finds a real bestest friend. How it all begins.

Note: Now also available on LJ for those so inclined: Stranger Like Me (LJ remix-but-not-really).

Disclaimer: We do not own Clark Kent (Superman, Kal El), Lois Lane, Richard White, Roy Harper (Arsenal, Speedy I, Red Arrow), Dick Grayson (Nightwing, Robin I), Kon El (Superboy, Conner Kent), Tim Drake (Robin III), Jason White or Lian Harper. They belong to DC with extensions to the creative teams of Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster and Brian Singer, Dan Harris & Michael Dougherty.

And a minor footnote involving our casting choices:

[livejournal.com profile] xenokattz: I LOVE our cast. I don't think I've said that often enough
Lady_Sarai: I LOVE IT TOOOOOOO!
Lady_Sarai: I don't think we've spent enough time gushing over them, either, given how awesome and made of win they are.
[livejournal.com profile] xenokattz: It was like cherubs were harping and light came down from on high and the fanfic God pointed a finger and said "This is Thy Cast with whom I am pleased."


The banner and HTML are entirely Katt's doing. Links lead to her website, because her HTML-fu powers are greater than my own. ;) Also, she rocks.

No, really, tell [livejournal.com profile] xenokattz how absolutely FANTASTIC and AWESOME the banner she made is. Because isn't it gorgeous? ♥ And now go read. ;)

I am going to read this RIGHT NOW because - well, the pictures are very cute, as are your Dueling Intros! (And also, I totally noticed Tim and Kon on the banner... hee!)
...
She was screaming... evening television things at the boys. I JUST DIED.
...
She was his type of weird. This is now officially my new five-year-olds-OTP-from-a-fandom-I-know-nothing-about.
...
Lian didn't know why anyone would want to get stabbed in the front; there were too many bones there to get a good shot. Aksfjkdsji CUTENESS.
...
OMG I just finished it and am repressing the CAPSLOCKS OF GLEE! Plzplzplz mention it when new updates go up, yeah? Because aside from the fact that I didn't understand a single reference (exactly how does Lian's family work, anyway?), I am totally hooked. You're both amazing. =)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE yay you read it! =D KATE! ♥ I'm so glad you liked it! And, yeah--Tim and Kon definitely just sort of shoved their way in, but it won't be for a few years timeline-wise. =D

Lian is so made of win and cute that it isn't funny. She would be the bundle of cuteness in my icon, see? Her father is Roy Harper and her mother is Cheshire--an international assassin who specializes in poisons, and also nuked an entire country. Roy has custody, clearly. ;) (Also, despite being part-Asian, Lian was born with red hair--gotta love comicbooklogic.) So yes, Roy is the Best Father Ever--in canon, he's a single father. In OUR little world, Lian has two daddies! Roy, and Dick Grayson--who would be the original Robin (of "Batman and Robin" fame).

And YAY for capslock of glee! This is why we refer to them as our OTP of Cute, because they so clearly are. ;) We set up a comm last night for it-- [livejournal.com profile] cute_and_glee, where we will probably post updates, in addition to Katt's website. And yeah, links EVERYWHERE. ;) (I totally spammed my own flist yesterday advertising this baby.)

We're a little overly obsessed--you should see the spreadsheets and hours of IMs. HA!

I'm so glad you liked it!!!!! YAY!!! *twirls you about*

Am def. adding! But do you want us to join, or just friend?

Roy has custody, clearly. See, it's those sort of comments that make me love you.

Oh, I create all sorts of spreadsheets, too. Granted, they're usually for some fic that I lose interest in after a week, but STILL. The little boxes are so fun!!

Mmm. There is pie in the oven, and my hands still vaguely smell like the dough, and that makes me happy.

Heee, either way! We set it up so only we can post, so whichever you want. =D YAY! *dances*

See, it's those sort of comments that make me love you. Hee, well--I try. ;) You may want to be careful just what you ask me, though--it was precisely such a "I have no idea who Roy Harper is!" comment that dragged [livejournal.com profile] xenokattz into this. ;) I apparently earn the title Vile Enabler.

And ooooo, PIE!! =D

But you're so good at Vilely Enabling people! (Vilely?? What kind of word is THAT?)

The pie's done -- would you like a slice??

From: [identity profile] lady-sarai.livejournal.com
Oo, pie! =D I'll just swing on by. ;)

Viley is an *awesome* word!

And yay, our first member! *dances*

You are. You're that lovely person you meet at the party who is ever so much fun and sparkly and the next thing you know you're in a circular bed with leopard-print sheets going "Where am I and why am I snorting crack?"

*hugs*

She should come with a warning label:

Warning: Addictive as Crack Pie!

I WANT THAT ON AN ICON!!!!!!!!

....Wait, I mean, I think I'm offended and hurt! ...Right.

Um. Yeah.

I... really have no defense, do I? *takes note of the icon you used, glances at my own*

...If I take this as a compliment, what does this say about me? ;)

Ooh! OOH! I just read this:

Sara enables most vilely and is magnetically attracted to flannel-clad lobstermen. Katt magically turns into an amoeba and has a USB port surgically embedded to her wrist. Together, they fight crime make spreadsheets write fic!

I am STILL laughing, omg. =)

Katt wrote that and sent me into gigglefits because, um. The magnetic attraction to flannel-clad lobstermen? Possibly just a little freakishly accurate a description. ;)

Compounded by the fact that at lunch today [livejournal.com profile] zoe_chan began describing my future husband who will run a lobster farm--like they have salmon farms. So he'll be a fisherman/lobsterman/FARMER. ;) Coming home and reading that was like putting the cherry on top.

=D And I looooooooove my new icon, thank you! Heee!

Hee, crazy Maine person, I ♥ you.

I just finished another pie - the first was peach, and this one was berries. I will totally make another in the morning and ship it to you.*

I just laughed so hard my mother demanded to know what I was laughing about and I managed to giggle out "circular bed! leopard-print sheets!" before she put her headphones back on.

I... don't know how I should take this. Possibly I should not be so amused. ;)

SQUEE! Thank you so very much. I'm trying not to sound too fangirly but really, we so LOVE this universe it's a little ridonkulous so you liking it too is like pie. Yummy yummy pie.

Thanks again and cheers!

Sara's been slowly dragging me over to her comicbook-verses, and my kicking and screaming's quite diminished by now... =)

I think it said you found all of the actors - who are young!Jason and older!Jason?? Because they are both ridiculously adorable.

Date: 2007-05-12 07:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] xenokattz.livejournal.com
Young!Jason is the actor who played him in Superman Returns, Tristan Lake Lebeu. Older!Jason is Sean Faris but I cannot take credit for finding him; [livejournal.com profile] alphielj uses him as older!Jason in her absolutely fantabulous fics In the Shadow of My Father and Being Jason White. She wrote the fics that I wanted to but could never write half as well.
