Welcome to my second fanfiction review. We’ve got a shorter entry today, but not because this one is bad. On the contrary, I love it, I just couldn’t be bothered to take excerpts this time.
Quite the departure from our last fic, my choice for today is a crossover, actually! It’s a cross between the Canadian Teletoon show “Stoked,” and the American Cartoon Network show “Ben 10: Alien Force.” The fic is called “Hanging Ten.”
Now, before you scoff, I highly recommend giving it a chance. It starts in season one for Stoken, and somewhere in season two-ish for Ben 10, I think. To be honest, I couldn’t tell exactly, except that it was after Ben had already met and defeated the Forever Nights for the first time.
Anyway! I’d never even heard of Stoked before I stumbled upon this fic. From what I can tell, it’s similar to Ben 10 in that it has low critic reviews, but a high audience score. Going into this fic with only Ben 10 for reference, I had absolutely no trouble following the plot or characters. It’s so well-written and explains both shows well for anyone who’s only seen one, or even neither. It’s a great example of how crossovers ought to be handled.
I will warn you, there is some crossover shipping between Ben and Lo. I’m not sure who she is because she’s from Stoked (I think that she’s blonde…?) but the fic handles it so well that I don’t even care. If you like enemies to friends to lovers, then I think that you’ll love it. Plus, I’m just a sucker for the “outsider finds out about the hero’s abilities and accomplishments and is absolutely stunned” trope. That’s the only reason I first clicked on this crossover.
After the fic is over, the author has more surrounding this AU universe! There are a total of four fics. My personal favorite is, “Hanging Ten: It Came From Room 1313.” No spoilers for that one, but I find it phenomenal. It’s shorter than the original, yes, but better in all the right ways.
If you’re ever bored and looking for a good, long read, I highly suggest giving this fic a shot! If you’re a fan of one of these shows, I promise that you won’t regret it.
