Oh, shit. Perfect captcha, gotta use it. "lifewo current"

I think I'll mention a bug-fuck crazy idea that I had and let it out into the rest of the world. It will probably not live on past these fingertips but oh well!

I came up with the idea of a Portal/Half-Life and Team Fortress 2 Crossover recently, partially inspired by some of the other fics already here. The reason I mention it is because my plans were for some subsequent Chell/Soldier but really Chell/anyone would be hot.

I considered ways to make it work with an honest plot. My idea was that she appears out of nowhere, thanks to the G-man, in the middle of a battle-in-progress. She uses the Portal gun to NOT DIE but she landed right between a Scout and a Soldier, who promptly give chase because WTFISTHIS and in Scout's case HOLYSHITTHATISALSOAGIRL! Of course she eludes them for awhile before the Soldier's team (I was thinking of BLU but it ultimately doesn't matter, just thought it'd work if she eventually gave her name) captures her.

Medic is delighted with her knees and half-embarrassed/half-elated to realize she's been experimented on (since her legs appear to be completely healthy.) Engineer is awed by the mechanical aspects of the shoes and gun. Everyone else, especially Spy, is angered by her complete and utter refusal to respond to anything said to her, even though stabbing her just enough for a pain response proves she is capable of sound.

Soldier is in the latter camp but quickly comes to admire the fact that she is persistently struggling to escape against all odds and him yelling in her face. He quickly realizes she also has no real concept of what rape is (he straddles her back as she crawls towards the door, unable to walk properly without proper support for her replacement knees, and she keeps crawling with his weight in spite of the fact he is too fucking heavy but he's not trying to crush her so she inches along like a proper little caterpillar. No panics from her of OMG WHAT IS THIS MAN DOING ON TOP OF ME, that is how he guesses.)

My theory for the plot being she had only had her freedom from GladOS for a short period of time, after Portal 2, and that there was a fresh Portal Gun tucked into her partially incinerated Companion Cube, which GladOS gave as a parting gift of sorts. Companion Cube is truth, Portal Gun is so she has one for sake of story. So, yeah, she spent half her life in the Enrichment Center, where she went in as a kid, and she hasn't been properly acquainted with a lot of things since then, even after getting away finally. But Solly becomes protective and from there I realized how much I would suck at trying to develop that into anything.

Not to mention, I considered what made her crack was finding out she was IN 1968! So she thinks she went back in time and has to find Cave Johnson. But then I considered, uh oh, nope, our two favorite teams have simply been in Stasis for a long fucking time and didn't realize it because it only happened after they went to sleep! So Scout and Sniper think they haven't talked to their parents in several months (for differing reasons) but in truth they haven't talked to them in decades and they're, um, dead now. And basically the bases they were at were rediscovered and the Resistance movement wanted the Respawn technology. Chell actually didn't get a debriefing so she is piecing this all together out of common sense.

So the plot pretty much fizzled to shit for me. I think that, probably with better rethinking than mine too, it could be made into a truly bad-ass crossover. I'm not one for actually reading or writing crossovers, since they're rarely sensible, but I thought something could be done with it. Maybe even sex!

I have determined that I suck at doing anything with it past a certain point and am letting it run wild and free in plot bunny farms, with the hope it'll grow up big and strong someday. I have two other stories I'm working on anyhow.

If it dies, that's okay. The idea is a bit wobbly but isn't purely stupid, IMHO. That's the only reason I'm mentioning it. I would love to see it executed properly with the removal of any pointless or self-destructing plot-elements I may have inadvertently added.
