Hi, I'm Zelda and I'll be your Crossover rec'cer, albeit running a bit behind, for this month. I'll try to make up for the lateness with two recs for today. :D

To me, a good crossover blends the two universes together in such a way that you don't even think about the fact that these characters shouldn't/don't know each other. Common Grounds is one such crossover, bringing together Daniel Jackson and Danny Taylor from Without a Trace. Set after Homecoming, to quote the authors' summary: 'Two old friends catch up in a New York bar.' But it really is so much more than that. Here, two characters have more alike than just a first name and they discover a few more of those similarities. They also have a friendship that has managed to survive two disappearing acts on Daniel's part, the most recent of which has necessitated this meeting between the two of them. Funny at times, poignant at others, and a look into both men and their relationships with their co-workers and their friendship with each other. While some background knowledge of WaT could help, I don't believe it is necessary - though, if you're like me, this could prompt you to searching out WaT fic. ;)

Occasionally you come across a crossover where you look at the fandoms involved and wonder 'how the heck does that work?' Accompanying this is often 'train-wreck' style of curosity to read it knowing that you'll probably won't be able to suspend your disbelief long enough to enjoy it.

The Luggage is not one such story. Here Ali manages to make SG-1s gate trip into Discworld make sense, or as much sense as a world that is flat and carried on the backs of four elephants who in turn ride on the back of a giant turtle named Atiun could be.

The Luggage is definitely a fic where some familiarity of the Discworld series is needed to thoroughly enjoy the humor. Even without, though, I think you'll have fun with it.
