Twinflight is a 60-page zine produced in 1992 and containing a series of same actor crossover stories set in a slash crossover alternative universe which combines The Professionals, Miami Vice, Blade Runner, Outland and Highlander.
All the stories feature characters and settings from a variety of these sources, and all except the last, are by MerLyn.
An authorised reprint of this zine was subsequently produced in the USA by Bill Hupe and Peg Kennedy.
From Crevichon Press: "The Bladerunner [sic] universe with a difference. The war between humans and replicants is complicated beyond measure when love enters the battle."
From the Editorial
The stories in this zine are a little out of the everyday (that is, if there's any such thing as 'everyday' in slash fandom) in that they weave a complex web of relationships between characters who might not, at first sight, seem to belong in the same 'universe'. The fact that Edward James Olmos played both Gaff and Martin Castillo encourages the speculation that somewhere in the 'Bladerunner' universe there is a replicant who looks like Don Johnson and who has a penchant for sinister killers.
This sort of train of thought, once started, leads in all sorts of directions - for it is natural to assume that there could be a bladerunner called Ray Doyle and a replicant named Bodie. And if Deckard looks like Harrison Ford, could he have met Marshal O'Neil who looks like Sean Connery? (Anyone who saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade would probably think so.) But is Bill O'Neil all he seems? Bleak visions of the future coalesce; Bladerunner', 'Outland', 'The Professionals’ and 'Highlander' meet here in Merlyn’s speculations about a future where Man is no longer in control of his world.
