Synopsis:

-Arrow x Supernatural Crossover-

Team Arrow has faced their own challenges, death, lies, juiced up superhero friends and a plethora of criminals. When they find themselves face to face with something not even the meta-human theory can explain, there's only one thought on their minds- how are they going to save their city?

Team Winchester has overcome impossible odds, numerous trips to hell and a never ending stream of demons, witches and monsters galore. When they find themselves in Washington chasing after whispers in the wind they stumble upon more than any of them could have bargained for.

To save the people of Starling City they'll need to combine forces. With the dark secrets of both sides coming to light and the odds stacked against them, failure looms near. Will they be able to set their differences aside or will they all have failed this city?

Rating: 3.5

Opinion:

Full disclosure here before I go any further in this review: I have a thing about crossovers. I don't think they're unnatural, it's just...sometimes they don't make sense to me. Like some just cross things that I personally don't think should be mashed together. But hey, to each their own.

I also give extreme kudos to those who can write them effectively and pull it off.  I have written in many a fandoms, but never have I crossed into the realm of the crossover. I might tackle that one day, who knows?

Pft, who am I kidding? I'm drowning in ideas even now.

So, you can imagine my surprise when I decided to check out this fanfic. A crossover of two of my many fandoms:

Arrow

and of course, Supernatural

I mean, this can totally be plausible, right? The boys meeting the famous Team Arrow gang?

Well in this here fanfic, it totally is.

The chapters alternate between the two "teams", Team Winchester and Team Arrow, until their paths cross in Starling City. How, I won't say. 

Throughout the case that brings both teams together, there are other things. And, yes, those I will not tell you either, because that would be spoiling, dear fanfic review reader. And nobody likes a spoil sport.

There are special appearances by some beloved characters from both sides. Call them brief cameos if you will.

There may be a ship involved too ;)

Sometimes, the story feels a little clunky (minor errors that won't jolt the reader too much), but I was able to get past that and focus more so on the plot.

Considering this is my first crossover read, I'm mildly impressed. If the author hasn't already done so, going back to edit will help this even further. There are few easy fixes in terms of mistakes. Any editing advice that you wish me to give you, then you and I can talk one-on-one :)
