fandom list for CampNano 2011

I received a lovely comment on this is how the world begins while I was on my work-cation last week, requesting a list of which characters matched up to which fandoms. (I felt a little overwhelmed when I looked at the list, but I've given it a go!)

Also, my apologies to anyone who tried to read the story on AO3 when it was first posted; the formatting was all wonky. It should be fixed now!



Burn Notice
Nate Weston is Michael Weston's brother in Burn Notice. Living in Vegas came from canon, as did his wife, though I named her Rachel before I realized the show named her Ruth. The name Ruth gets a shoutout towards the end of the story.

(“Really? I thought your name was Ruth.” “Middle name,” Rachel said, in a tone that clearly tacked on a ‘not that it’s any of your business’ to the end.) Her pregnancy, as well as the baby being called Charlie, also came from the show (okay, the show's wikipedia page).

Other Burn Notice characters: Jesse Porter, Michael Weston, Madeline Weston, Fiona Glenanne, Sam Axe. They were all mentioned when Jesse started popping in at random. The idea of Michael and Jesse having powers came from a totally different story (Ex-Spooks, Guns, and Money (send them all, there's a party in Miami), which I really should put on AO3 one of these days, but this link should work okay) in which Jesse the anti-christ from Supernatural is also Jesse from Burn Notice.

[ETA 3/30/13: link now goes to AO3!]

Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
I really meant to come back to the H50 characters, but ended up abandoning them "aiming south, for the border."

(Rachel waved at the bikers as they drove by, and they offered the surfer’s wave back.)

Batman
Selina Kyle is Catwoman, and carpools with Nate and Rachel to New York, where she meets up with Felicia Hardy (Black Cat) from Spiderman and they briefly discuss Bruce (Batman). She also says one of my favorite lines: "All the cities are calling their heroes home."

Labyrinth (1986)
Sarah texts Rachel when they're driving cross-country to say she's "safely away," aka back in the Labyrinth.

("You’d think one mirror would be as good as the next. You’ve got to admit they’re cute together, though.”) I was aiming for a Sarah/Jareth connection, but your mileage may vary.

Supernatural
Dean and Sam Winchester show up in the diner in Ohio during the cross-country road trip, along with Castiel, Gabriel, Balthazar, and Raphael. (Along with a fourth angel, who doesn't get named -- maybe Supernatural's Rachel?) She was in the show, and also in the story Send Somebody, which also included my version of Gabriel's return from the dead.

Fast and the Furious Series
Brian O'Connor, Dominic Toretto, and Mia Toretto are part of the group that settles in Northville. This story is set firmly after Rio adventures (Fast Five), and references Um Tubarao, Saltando -- that time when Brian and Dom met some of the X-kids and assorted other fandoms.

(Of course Brian’s group was the first to arrive; they’d probably driven in the triple digits the whole way there.)

Mia's pregnancy was canon in Fast Five; Pax the dog is, as they say, an OC. Hobbs (also from Fast Five) shows up at the very end.

Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
This one's a stretch. In The Badger Fic, Jane is Jill Pole's (from The Silver Chair) descendant (she refers to Jill as "the crazy relative"). She gets asked the "forest-related" questions, thanks to her Narnia connection.

(That's also the fic that the badgers come from. They show up a couple times in 'this is how the world begins.')

White Collar
Neal and Peter show up pretty early, with Jane. Neal refers to Parks Are For Liars, though the name Timmy Nolan did originate from the show.

Mozzie gets name-dropped by the A-Team much later. (“She got a message to Mozzie, and that got us to Neal Caffrey.”)

Doctor Who
Nasreen, to the best of my memory, was one of Rose's friends in the season with the 9th Doctor? She does the first mail run with Nate, and hangs out with Kevin a lot.

Also, Donna Noble (10th Doctor companion, gained a double and leadership of Torchwood Four in No Ordinary Human) lives across the river.

Sarah Jane Adventures
Maria and Alan Jackson (her dad) were in the first season of SJA before moving to the US. They live next door to Nate and Rachel. They met Donna in No Ordinary Human.

Stonehenge Apocalypse (2010)
Jacob Glaser is the one who has crazy ideas that sound less crazy after the apocalypse actually sort of happens.

(Nate was pretty sure that a stranger coming into town and buying all the condoms and dental floss — please let him have bought other things too, for the sake of first impressions, if nothing else — was already going to attract plenty of attention, whether they announced it or not.)

Leverage
Sophie is with the group when they arrive in Northville, and hangs around for a while waiting for her ride back to Boston.

The A-Team also mentions Sophie Devereaux when they explain how they found Nate and Rachel, along with implying they once arrested her. The rest of the Leverage crew is vaguely referenced by Nate.

(He wasn’t sure anyone on Sophie’s team had ever managed to be arrested for long if they didn’t want to be.)

X-Men
Logan (Wolverine) is the first of the X-Men to show up, but the X-Men are their neighbors. Bunches and bunches of them show up whenever anyone goes to the mansion. (Including Scott Summers (Cyclops), Hank McCoy (Beast), Artie, Lee (Leech), Caleb -- the kid who turns into a bear (he's from Advanced Wilderness Survival Seminar), Paige, Jubilee, and Angelo.)

Charles and Erik show up on the voice recording in the psychic security system, and their status as alive/dead/ghosts is a topic of some debate.

Psych
Shawn Spencer also shows up on the voice recording at the X-mansion. His stint as an instructor at the XI was mentioned first in Expectation, Perception, Reaction. He mentions Gus and Lassiter by name, both from Psych.

(“Gus, have you been sleeping in the office to keep Lassiter from breaking in and rifling through my things? You know that makes you cranky.")

Glee
Noah's (Puck's) presence in town (and Vegas, before that) is completely unexplained. He has a conversation with Nate later in the story that leaves it unclear as to whether he dropped out of high school or left after graduating. His daughter, younger sister, mom, and Kurt ("this guy") are all canon Glee as far as I know.

(“I’ve got a kid,” Noah said, and okay, that was a surprise. “A daughter. And a baby sister, and my mom. And this guy —“ He poked at the envelope, sliding it around the table in front of him. “We weren’t even friends. But he wrote. Asked me to come home.”)

Greatest American Hero
Kevin is Ralph's son from Greatest American Hero (canon!). (“My dad had a suit that gave him powers,” Kevin said conversationally. “Aliens gave it to him.”)

Torchwood
Perception filters -- totally stolen from Torchwood. Donna's hanging out with Torchwood Four in their base across the river. Tommy was canon in Torchwood as a frozen soldier from the past. I brought him back because, knowing Torchwood, he probably got some horrible death ending.

Robin Hood (2010)
Marion ends up in New York by accident, thanks to the solar flares (bad science alert!). Robin Hood, Guy of Gisborne, and Guy's sister follow to "rescue" her. (Robin and Guy wear matching rings, inspired by winning a war you can't fight).

Stargate Atlantis
Jesse connects Nate's phone to Rodney McKay when they're trying to get out of the psychic security system trap. Rodney transfers the call to Peter Parker's phone.

(“I’m Doctor Rodney McKay,” said the voice. “Currently orbiting the Earth in an alien spaceship. I hope we’re orbiting, at least.")

Spiderman
Felicia Hardy (Black Cat) met up with Selina when they passed through New York, and answers Peter's phone when Nate gets transferred to it. She connects him to Harry Osborne, who met Clark Kent in You'd Make a Great Dread Pirate Roberts.

Superman Returns (2006)
Jason is Lois Lane's son from Superman Returns; he has some powers in the movie that could have wound up giving him a connection to the Xavier Institute at some point. He left blocks at the villa Peter and Harry stayed at in You'd Make a Great Dread Pirate Roberts.

Eragon (movie)
Eragon, Murtagh, Sapphira, and Thorn show up through the rift in Donna's basement, looking for the egg from And All Our Chickens Come Home To Roost.

(“We had an egg, and someone who was — helping us — thought they had found a safe hiding place for it. Then it disappeared.”)

A-Team (2010)
Nate and Jacob meet Murdoch, Hannibal, Face, BA, and Captain Sosa while they're out looking for the egg. Coincidentally, the team already found the egg, which is handy.

(“I mean, what are the odds it’s some other glowing egg-shaped object about that size? Pretty low, I’d say, even for us. Right?”)

Covert Affairs
This was a blink-and-you'll miss it, six degrees of separation kind of mention. When the A-Team explains how they found Nate and Rachel, they mention a series of contacts including Annie from Covert Affairs. ("We called a CIA contact — semi-former. Annie Walker?”)

I Am Number Four (2011)
James, the shapeshifter mentioned first during the heat wave, along with Rebecca, are from Um Tubarao, Saltando. James was the chimera originally assigned to Two, and he wound up protecting Rebecca in Brazil, where they met Brian and Dom. (Technically, Rebecca and James are from a fictional movie trailer shown in the actual movie 'The Holiday.' That's where the two guns line came from.)

John (Four), Jane (Six), Sam Goode, and Bernie (the chimera) are all from the actual movie. They show up in the X-Mansion after Charlie is born. (They fight aliens on the front lawn.)

Tron (Movies)
Sam Flynn, Ed Dillinger, and Quorra are all from Tron Legacy. They show up mostly by accident at the X-mansion, trying to work their way back to California by jumping on and off the Grid. (Lack of digitizing lasers at each entry point not explained at all!)

Transformers (Bay Movies)
Sargeant Epps and Ratchet show up with Hobbs after the hurricane.

(“I’m Sergeant Robert Epps; this is Ratchet.” He gestured to the robot, who waved. “We’re part of an organization dedicated to all citizens of the world. We’re currently surveying this sector, looking for anyone who might need aid or assistance.” It had the air of a rehearsed and well-practiced speech.)

I picked Epps because he's double points -- the same actor also played Roman Pearce in the Fast and Furious movies.
