instarec!

OMFG ignipes is writing a POI/Nikita crossover. Everyone go shower love and bribes on her to continue! (ETA: now also on AO3)

Excerpt:
"Busy night?" Nikita says.

Instead of answering, Reese says, "Where's your less charming half?"

"Don't let him know you're working alone," Michael says. Nikita valiantly refrains from rolling her eyes.

"Michael says 'hi,'" she says. "He doesn't hold Montenegro against you at all."

That almost earns something what might, at a stretch, be the distant cousin of a smile. "Not at all?" Reese asks.

"Maybe a bit," Nikita says. "But what's a little knife fight between friends?"


For those of you in POI fandom on my flist who *don't* know Nikita, the fic totally functions as an outsider-POV story. The outsider just happens to be a sarcastic spy-assassin played by Maggie Q and her hilarious family ops team.

(also, you really should watch Nikita. It has a lot in common with POI, come to think of it: beautifully choreographed fight scenes, spysassin shenanigans, kickass fully-developed ladies, complex plot arcs, trust, betrayal, redemption, fencing, true love, miracles.... Actually, wait. There was a sword fight in that one episode. Cancel that strikethrough. Maggie Q is AMAZING.)

They are basically the same show, really, except that Nikita's show family is a whole army of misfit toys, and POI's show family is two men and a dog.
