Summary
Behold, another NewsRadio crossover that no one asked for - except this time, it's with Disney's The Black Cauldron! A group of wildly different individuals embark upon a dangerous quest to find a powerful magical artifact and defeat one of Disney's creepiest and most evil villains ever devised - the Horned King!
I honestly have no idea where this came from, it just manifested itself in a single instant.
And....let it begin! -

Summary
Set three months after the series finale...
When the WNYX-New Hampshire gang return to New York to attend an award ceremony for Lisa Miller after one of her articles for WNYX is nominated, Dave (who is steadfastly, and not as subtly as he thinks he is, avoiding Lisa) and Matthew (who is sticking close to Dave to make sure he's doing all right) are kidnapped by a disgruntled former employee fired the same day for malicious bullying...
When the rest of the gang find out, they take it upon themselves to rescue their endangered friends, while Lisa comes to terms with a shocking revelation...well, a few shocking revelations actually... as well as her resurfacing feelings for Dave...which, to be quite frank, weren't buried all that deeply... -

Summary
Strange green lights burst from the barren red surface of the distant planet Mars...
Traveling at the speed of light to the surface of the planet Earth...
Streaking across the night skies like falling stars to human eyes...
At New York City's celebrated (mostly by the staff) NewsRadio Station WNYX, the strange events as they happen are viewed as mysterious and concerning by the long-suffering News Director, Dave Nelson, journalist Lisa Miller (with whom Dave is in a passionate love affair), and their somewhat insane boss, Mr. James, and their even more insane coworkers, Bill McNeal, Catherine Duke, Matthew Brock, Joe Garelli, and Beth.
Then the first lands in Central Park...
When the world quickly becomes engulfed in a war the likes of which never seen before, the WNYX gang find themselves struggling to survive. Feelings long pent up explode, irrational grudges and annoyances let loose at the worst of times, as the Martials unleash their full wrath upon Humanity...
Inspired by Jeff Wayne's legendary musical version of H.G. Wells' timeless classic, "The War of the Worlds", sitcom television's craziest characters find themselves facing the deadliest experience they have ever known...Bookmarked by WhatReallyHappened

Summary
The door to the Saint Marie police station had been revolving for some time now as detectives and officers swept through, some like a brief sweet Caribbean breeze and others with the force and chaos of a hurricane. Nine years ago Fidel Best had taken his small family off the island to seek a better life. Eight years ago Camille Bordey had gone back to Paris to outrun her ghosts. Six years ago Dwayne Myers had sailed away to seek new horizons. But, turns out, Saint Marie doesn’t let go of her people that easily.
Even if they’re dead.
An attempted murder and an arrest unites the team again in a way Camille never expected, sending her straight into an investigation into police corruption that spirals back decades.

As I’ll Be Loving You Always by JenT4

Summary
Abby and Luka have moved to Boston and are getting their lives back together. They make the decision to really move forward by learning to talk to each other better. There will be couples therapy, talking on their own, etc. Also fluff, daily lives, moments in each of their work places etc. Hoping to do what the show failed at, IMO (though I loved their ending). In order to live happily ever after, they need to put in the work.
