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 13 Clocks/The Last Unicorn
• Final Fantasy Tactics/Final Fantasy VII
• Final Fantasy Tactics/Vagrant Story
Prompts!:
• The 13 Clocks/The Last Unicorn: If you are familiar with Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn, I feel it exudes a lot of the same general energy as The 13 Clocks in marrying the absurd to the bittersweet, and I would welcome a fic that combines the two. I think the Duke of Coffin Castle and Haggard would work well as distant relations or members of the same villainous noblemen society, and I feel like the Golux is the sort of creature who might well pop into Beagle's setting without any need for justification and that Beagle's setting is precisely the sort to accept him.
• Final Fantasy Tactics/Final Fantasy VII: I'm up for Final Fantasy VII crossovers, as the game itself embraces that, and I think it would be neat to examine what somebody like Cloud thinks of Ivalice's oppressive feudal rulership in contrast to ShinRa's capitalism run amok. I'd even be open to an FF7/FFT fusion where the plot of FFT is transplanted into FF7's high tech Gaia, and the Beoulves are scions of an evil electric-power company instead of a powerful Duchy.
• Final Fantasy Tactics/Vagrant Story: Out of the other Ivalice games, I'm both familiar with and a big fan of Vagrant Story, and I'd be open to things that address ways that the two canons (allegedly) take place in the same universe. I feel that there are a lot of opportunities to do something that might involve world-building or the exploration of similar themes (religion, filial responsibility). The Dark is just a generally good handwavy device for having things happen, and I feel it's a useful tool to bring characters together either in the horrific abyss of a post-death existence or via some sort of magical shenanigans that open portals between FFT-era Ivalice and Valendia. Stuff that touches on parallels between the Glabados Church and the Order of St. Iocus, between House Beoulve and House Bardoba, or some of FFT's doomed sibling sets and Duane and Grissom would all be welcome.
