Two for One 2021 (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. James Bond/Ted Lasso, Succession/Squid Game)
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. Harley Quinn and The X-Men team up to defeat a villain, or Enola Holmes falls into a portal that takes her 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. Bucky Barnes as a contestant in the Hunger Games, where Fury and Howard Stark are referees. (A fic like this in which Hunger Games characters also appear would be a hybrid between a fusion and crossover.)

AO3 Name: [archiveofourown.org profile] corpsebrigadier
Letter: https://corpsebrigadier.dreamwidth.org/19533.html
Crossover Type: Both
Potential Fandom Combinations: Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy VII (Fusion); The Woman in White, Lady Audley's Secret, East Lynne, The Moonstone, and/or Aurora Floyd (Crossovers)

For FFT/FFVII fusions: I'd be particularly open to an FF7/FFT fusion where the plot of FFT is transplanted into FF7's high tech Gaia, and the Death Corps takes on an AVALANCHEesque role up against various feudal powers re-imagined as captialist powers run amok. If you go this route, it would be fascinating to see how Miluda and Wiegraf engage with the sort of high casualty terrorist acts typical of FF7's conflicts.

For crossovers involving The Woman in White and other sensation novels: I am down for the idea of a mid-Victorian-sensation-novel extended universe, and would love any combination of the canons requested. I'd be particularly fascinated by Woman in White/Lady Audley takes that bring Marian, Walter, and Laura together with Robert, George, and Clara, as there are so many self-evident parallels there (even just Robert and Marian take a moment to commiserate about having to do unexpected detectiving around charismatic/theatrical villains). I'd also love to have Laura/Walter and Rachel/Franklin get together and discuss how very weird it is trying to have a straightforward relationship in a Wilkie Collins novel.
