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.)

Potential Fandom Combinations:
Dirty Computer/Janelle Monae's other discography. All her work has such a strong afrofuturist vibe, I can totally see the Archandroid being set in the future of Dirty Computer's world. (or even in its past, who knows?) The themes work so well together. Does the time-traveling android find herself dodging Cleaners as well as the Time Bureau? Is Cyndi Mayweather a reincarnation of Jane 57821 in some way?

Dirty Computer/Star Trek: is the Dirty Computer world part of World War III?

Dirty Computer/Batman Beyond: the dystopian/cyberpunk aspect of the Cleaning fits well with the more dystopian/cyberpunk aspects of Batman Beyond. Is that happening in the America that Terry lives in, and he's just never had to notice because he's white, straight, and a billionaire's protege?

Random Harvest/Downton Abbey: Of course the melodrama set just after WWI in England would be in the same world as the other WWI-and-after melodrama set in England. Maybe Charles (rich, influential politician that he is) gets invited to Downton? (Does Mary or Edith make a play for him?)

Random Harvest/Lord Peter Wimsey: Are there some political shenanigans requiring a detective? Does Paula|Margaret hire Lord Peter to find her missing husband? Does she work for The Cattery when she needs to get a job after Smithy disappears?

将军在上 | Oh My General (Web Series)/Xena Warrior Princess: these two shows have, as far as I can tell, about the same amount of historical accuracy, and the same amount of lesbian subtext, and the same amount of Warrior Princesses. And we know Xena went to China! So make her and Ye Zhao meet!

One Day at a Time/Stargate: what if they have the Ancient gene and the SGC tries to recruit them? Like, if Penelope got a job working at the SGC as a nurse, and had a deal where she'd live in Colorado during the week and they'd beam her back home for the weekend, with Lydia and Schneider in charge of the kids while she was gone, can you imagine the shenanigans as the family tries to figure out what she's doing and Penelope is like "nah, it's too weird, they'd never figure it out, I don't have to worry" and then they DO start figuring it out?

Hobson's Choice/Enola Holmes: I can't figure out if Maggie Hobson would be on the side of Eudora's group or be too practical and focused on her personal goals to be interested, but either way her intelligence and drive and independence and willingness to step outside the normal social bounds would make her exactly the type of woman they'd try to recruit.
