Two for One 2020 (aka The Crossover Challenge)
Two for One is an annual sub-challenge to help people who like crossovers and/or fusions find one another's requests.
To participate, simply copy-paste the following into a comment:
AO3 Name:
Letter Link:
Crossover Type: (ie. crossover, fusion, or either)
Potential Fandom Combinations: (list all combinations you're interested in, ex. Enola Holmes/Penny Dreadful, Knives Out/The Boys)
Prompts!: (as many and as detailed as you like)
One of the fandoms in each pairing must be one you are requesting for Yuletide; however, the other doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t even have to be in the tagset at all!
Some clarification about crossover types:
• Crossovers tend to involve Fandom A's characters interacting with Fandom B's characters or worldbuilding, with everyone retaining their canon backgrounds. Ex. James Bond and Batman team up to defeat a villain, or Harry Potter falls into a portal that takes him to Westeros.
• Fusions tend to be AUs in which Fandom A's characters have always existed in Fandom B's setting instead of their own, often replacing Fandom B's characters. Ex. Thor and Loki as students at Hogwarts, where Heimdall and Peggy Carter are professors. (A fic like this in which Harry Potter characters also appear would be a hybrid between a fusion and crossover.)

Crossover Type: Either
Potential Fandom Combinations:
The Expanse/The Wire, The Expanse/Black Sails
Rivers of London/221B Baker Towers, RoL/Highlander, RoL/Foyle's War
The Boys/Deadly Class
Mercy Thompson/The Good Fight, Mercy Thompson/Yellowstone
Prompts:
The Expanse / The Wire: According to the season 5 trailer, Amos is going back to Baltimore to settle some unfinished business! I'd love to read a story where one or more of my favorite characters from The Wire (Omar Little, Stringer Bell, Bubbles, Kima Greggs) are part of Amos's backstory, growing up in Baltimore, OR are Belters. Naomi/Kima and Amos/Omar both sound amazing.
The Expanse / Black Sails: The parallels between Nassau and Belter culture interest me, with that tension between a distant imperial corporate super-power and the people trying to live between the cracks and make a future for themselves and their people. I would be thrilled to see Vane, Max, or Flint making their way in this future. You could even do something clever, crossing over or set in both time periods, if you felt so inspired. Hiddencait wrote me a fantastic story with Max running a Belter brothel last year, and it made me hungry for more. Gen, Naomi/Max or Amos/Flint would be great. Flint would be such a terrible moral compass for Amos!
Rivers of London / 221b Baker Towers: "Toss out what's impossible. Then take a good hard look at whatever's left, bruv, 'cause don't matter how mad, it's true." Sherlock believes the evidence of his senses, but is very, very suspicious of PC Grant and some posh DCI in his ends ‘taking an interest’. 221B Baker Towers is a gritty, fan-sourced, modern-day adaptation of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes where Sherlock is a young black man growing up on a council estate in London. There's very little actual canon, so let your imagination run wild!
Rivers of London / Highlander: I've got 3 potential prompts in mind here.
1) Nightingale might recognize Duncan MacLeod, in modern-day London, from his time working during WWII living in London, as part of the Resistance, or working for the British secret service.
2) A murder scene with decapitation and evidence of lightning strikes being investigated as a possible Falcon case.
3) Methos has finally tracked down those records of Nazi magical experimentation that went missing during the war, and gets caught trying to sneak into the Folly to destroy them.
Rivers of London / Foyle’s War: Thomas Nightingale, barely functioning after Ettersberg, is sent to work with Foyle and Sam in cleaning up a very disturbing library. Perhaps this was the beginning of The Arrangement?
The Boys / Deadly Class: "If you could get away with murdering someone, who would it be?" Here are two dark, ultra-violent comics with live-action TV show adaptations that could really work together. When we meet Frenchie, he describes himself as a gun-runner. He's also been a bank robber, an assassin, and a sex worker. And he is incredibly gifted with weaponized electronics and chemicals. He sounds very much like a rat graduate of King's Dominion! I enjoy the 80's setting of Deadly Class, but it's entirely up to you if you slide Frenchie back into that era, or move the characters from Deadly Class up into the 21st century. If you're interested in shipping, Frenchie is enthusiastically pansexual but I'd particularly like to read Willie with him on the DL.
Mercy Thompson / The Good Fight: Warren is canonically a private investigator for Kyle's law firm. What if Kalinda Sharma is the one who trained Warren and helped him get his documentation and PI license. How did they meet? Did they bond over their hidden sexualities? Is Kalinda a werewolf too? Enquiring minds want to know!
Mercy Thompson / Yellowstone: Warren worked as a hand on the Yellowstone at one point in the past and befriended Rip and Kayce Dutton. When he finds out they’re in trouble, he shouldn’t get involved – but he does. If you ship Warren with either, I'm 100% into it!
