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.)

Prompts!:
- I think in general rom com fusions for happier canons are just a good time; I've listed a few of my favorites that I think would fit the specific canons, but if something else calls to you, feel free to do that.
- I'd like to see a play with the dark humor (and... torture?) with a Good Place fusion for some of the darker canons. How do they reckon with the fucked up shit they've done and being told they belong in the Good Place? Feel free to include Michael or other demons from The Good Place (or not!), and you need a Janet (though whether she's "our" Janet or not is up to you), but I definitely want more of a fusion vibe, so no direct references to the humans, please!
- The Magicians is basically a Narnia/HP crossover at its core anyway, so like - does Harry Potter exist in that world? Is Narnia a world they can access through the Neitherlands? Obviously Fillory is more analogous to Narnia than a direct reference, but perhaps they go into the wrong world at first? I'm ambivalent on mentioning Narnia or HP characters in this - but if you want to, my favorites are (Narnia) Edmund, Susan, Eustace and Jill, and (HP) Neville, Hermione, Luna, and Draco.
- I also think a Magicians (again, novel, not TV show) / Secret History crossover could be fun! Both deal with fucked up shit happening at a tiny college in the northeastern US - go wild with it!
