Indiana Jones and the Ring of Ra by Fiery Fred (All Ages)
Title: Indiana Jones and the Ring of Ra
Author's LJ/DWJ: Fiery Fred
Categories: Crossover
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Stories by Fiery Fiend
Why this should be read:
It's 1939. Europe is on the brink of war. Indy's dad asks him to help out an old colleague. And the adventure begins...
Seriously, how awesome is this? I'm surprised there aren't more crossovers on this premise; the Stargate was in Egypt in the late '30s, right when the Nazis and Indiana Jones were chasing each other across Northern Africa and Europe; of course the most intrepid (and likely to stumble across supernatural/scifi artifacts) archaeologist of his day would have been involved! It's not a perfect story (the Langfords were Swedish, not German, for example), but it's a fun adventure no less plausible than any Indiana Jones movie (or Stargate episode, for that matter). Also, it has Catherine Langford being awesome, too.
Sighing, he picked up the picture of the Stargate. The symbols were the same as the mysterious untranslatable symbols on the coverstone. The six inside the cartouche were clearly there, and after careful examination he found something similar to the seventh symbol underneath the cartouche. Perhaps the symbols weren’t a language. If the Stargate was a device of some sort, perhaps it was a code that had to be entered.
The more he thought about it, the stranger it all seemed, but Indy was capable of believing all sorts of crazy things. He’d seen the Ark of the Covenant turn Nazis into dust, screaming as they were transformed. He’d seen the Holy Grail heal his father from a mortal wound amidst clouds of steam. He’d seen things that few people would believe. Unfortunately the “few who believed” always seemed to include the Nazis.
If the inscription was to be taken literally, it was a doorway to the heavens. It was a portal to who knows where, a million years into the sky.
No wonder the Nazis wanted it.
