Two for One 2022 (aka The Crossover Challenge)
Reposting ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
regency's post from last year, with permission.
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.)

Crossover Type: Either
Potential Fandom Combinations: Tamora Pierce-Emelan/Once Upon A Time; The Facts of Life; Worst Witch (2017); A Tree Grows In Brooklyn/Downton Abbey; Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon/Once Upon A Time
Prompts!: (as many and as detailed as you like)
For Tamora Pierce/OUAT: I'd kind of like to have some Sandry-Rumple interaction. Not romantic but something with spinning involved. Also, I think Tris could get along well with Belle and/or Emma. If you're not a Sandry fan, I could see any of the OUAT magic-users being intrigued by ambient magic and maybe trying to wrap their heads around it. Uniting against a common enemy/natural disaster.
For Facts of Life/Worst Witch, well, one the Eastland girls could discover that they've got magical powers and transfers to Miss Cackle's. Barring that, we know that on the series, Esmerelda lost her magic for a time. Suppose her mother decided that it would be best to send her to Eastland—a fresh start in a new country away from any reminders of what she'd lost.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn/Downton Abbey. Perhaps, one or more of the Crawley girls visits America and has a chance encounter with Francie. Or Francie visits England and meets one or more of the Crawleys. My favorite Downton character candidates in no particular order: Mary, Sybil, Daisy, Ana, Edith, Cora, Bates. I LOVE Violet, but I don't see her interacting much with Francie.
Dungeons and Dragons/OUAT. The kids are always trying to get home. Welp, they take the wrong portal and end up in the EF. Or Storybrooke. Just a standard quest story. Maybe they seek out Rumple and he's of course, interested in getting to their land without magic, so he's willing to help. Or the kids need to help the OUAT cast in Storybrooke break whatever curse is currently on the town line, because otherwise they're stuck there, so close to home and yet so far...
The general likes and DNWs in my letter apply here too.

Crossover Type: either
Potential Fandom Combinations:
- Untitled Goose Game (Video Game) & A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
- Get Smart (TV) & The Avengers (TV 1961)
Prompts!:
Untitled Goose Game (Video Game) & A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens:
- https://www.delish.com/food/news/a37288/history-of-the-christmas-goose/
According to Dumas, a French chemist "saw a goose turning a spit on which a turkey was roasting. She was holding the end of the spit in her beak; and by sticking out and pulling back her neck, produced the same effect as the use of an arm. All she needed was to be given a drink from time to time."
- The terrible goose's Batman-like origin story
- Goose (and Goose 2) vs Ebenezer Scrooge
- Did one lead an ill-fated Braveheart-style rebellion?
- Having heard tell of the infamous TurDucken: Goose in America, rallying their colonial feathered brethren to save them from this fate before Thanksgiving
-
Get Smart (TV) & The Avengers (TV 1961):
- An unholy, but potentially hilarious, campy alliance of wry Brit humour and Mel Brooksian silliness
- The Avengers in America helping combat KAOS or KAOS making its way to the UK and the CONTROL team sent over to London to aid the Ministry
- Steed partnered with Agent 99 and Emma stuck with Maxwell Smart, and their impressions of each other
- Emma driving Max's 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, impressed by all the gadgets/features; or Max driving the her Lotus Elan, assuming the existence of similar gadgets, only to find none
- The Control agents shocked/feeling sorry for the Ministry ones not having hidden phones everywhere
- Trying to convince Steed and Peel to get into the Cone of Silence
- Steed and Peel too graceful/savvy to walk into Max's invisible, bulletproof wall in his apartment
- 99 bonding with Emma over clothing, but Max surprised by Steed's low-tech accoutrements while Steed appalled by the idea of ruining a perfectly weighted pair of shoes by putting a telephone in them

Crossover Type: Either
Potential Fandom Combinations: Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting/Literally any other KJ Charles universe; Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting/Ocean's 8 (or any other heist movie!); Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting/What We Do in the Shadows; Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting/Our Flag Means Death; Band Sinister/Drag Race; Band Sinister/Star Trek; Band Sinister/Freaky Friday; Band Sinister/Any Disney animated movie; Fire Island/A Song of Ice and Fire; Fire Island/Captive Prince; Fire Island/Literally any KJ Charles Universe; Fire Island/Our Flag Means Death; Fire Island/What We Do in the Shadows; Fire Island/His Dark Materials; Fire Island/any Loretta Chase novel but ESPECIALLY the Carsington series or Lord of Scoundrels
Prompts:
The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting: I am here for Marnie and Alice fucking shit up and coming out on top. Marnie is a long-time grifter; Alice is pretty unscrupulous in her own quiet way. Set these two loose in any universe and let 'em run riot!
Band Sinister: Honestly you could stick the characters from Band Sinister in general and Corvin in particular into ANY universe and I think they'd instantly make everything more entertaining. Let the chaos reign. Make Corvin seduce everything not nailed down and a few that are.
Fire Island: I feel like OFMD and WWDITS are just gimmes for Noah, Will, Howie and Charlie, like, they'd fit in SEAMLESSLY and the hijinks would just naturally flow. Make em crew members on Stede's ship, or run a pirate ship of their own. Have them be vampires, or resentful familiars. But--and I've just thought about this--since this is a Pride and Prejudice retelling, how about we stick 'em in a Regency romance novel? I'm inordinately fond of Loretta Chase, and the thought of these four idiots running amuck in the ton is giving me so much glee. Like, think the Lord of Scoundrels retelling: Will is determined to rescue his idiot friend Charlie from the toils of Noah, a notorious rake, only to find himself reluctantly falling for Noah's charms. And in the meanwhile, Charlie is falling in love with Howie....

Crossover Type: Fusion, probably
Potential Fandom Combinations: The Philosophers Series - Tom Miller
Prompts!: The worldbuilding in these books is a big part of why I like them, with sciencey-magic, "empirical philosophy" in academia and in (sort of) the military and as part of a world that's still developing along the lines of our world, but with this additional element. I think it'd make a great fusion AU for other fandoms. Some fandoms I'd be interested in fusing with it are Stargate Atlantis and SG-1; Star Trek TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY (for these, I'd be happy for the fusion to take place in their centuries); Archer; The Hour; Bluestone 42.

Crossover Type: Crossovers and/or fusions; more details in prompts
Generally I'm in favor of crossovers! This comment should not be taken as an exhaustive list, although if you're thinking of writing a crossover involving a fandom I haven't requested and have never written, received, or bookmarked a fic in, please ask to see how familiar I am with it unless otherwise specified.
Fandom: Untitled Goose Game
Potential Fandom Combinations: Any of my other requested fandoms (Bionicle G1, Cookie Clicker, Dwarf Fortress, The Planet Crafter, Stellaris), or a blank cheque for Creator's Choice of Fandom.
Prompts:
Fandom: Stellaris
Crossover Type: Fusions
Potential Fandom Combinations: Yes. More specifically, I have prompts for:
For too-large fandoms, I'm most familiar with:

Crossover Type: Fusion
Potential Fandom Combinations: Famous Five - Enid Blyton
Prompts!: I requested Julian and Dick, and I'd be delighted to see them turn up in an AU: Historical, Mythological, Fantasy, Fairy Tale, even a Classic Movie if you can make it work. (Details in my letter.) In short, my DNWs aside, there would probably be no AUs I wouldn't love for these two.
Crossover Type: Either
Potential Fandom Combinations: Baroque Music RPF and 19th Century CE Poets & Painters RPF
Prompts!: I requested Farinelli, Vivaldi, Keats, Shelley, Wilde and Severn, and if you want to mix and match between these fandoms in a straightforward crossover (with some time shenanigans or no explanation at all for anyone's presence in the wrong time), that would be as lovely as to see them in a fusion AU. Again, historical, mythological and fantasy settings would all be great.
Crossover Type: Fusion
Potential Fandom Combinations: The Haunting (1963)
Prompts!: I requested John Markway and Luke Sanderson, and I'm completely on board for them turning up in some wacky AU. I could see another horror story working well, as long as there's an equal lack of gore; maybe a Victorian/Edwardian era ghost story? Or a Jules Verne tale? Historical AUs would absolutely work for them but, likewise, I'm fine with them beings gods or elves or mermen. :)
Crossover Type: Either
Potential Fandom Combinations: Thunder Rock (1942) and Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951)
Prompts!: Characters requested are David Charleston and Streeter. As much as I love the lighthouse setting of the movie, it can be set in another time. Or it could have the WWII setting, but a different location, maybe?
And here's a fairly specific crossover idea: James Mason, who plays Streeter, played the Flying Dutchman in the wonderfully odd "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman"; David as Pandora? This would be a mix of fusion and crossover that would be quite amazing. :)

Potential Fandom Combinations: Detective L/DMBJ
Prompts!: What if Huo Wensi was a member of the Huo family of the Mystic Nine? I have no further prompts, just a lot of curiosity about what that might look like, and how tomb bullshit would integrate into Detective L’s much more mundane world. (Is Huo Daofu a descendant of his? They have similar vibes to me...)

Crossover Type: Either; might work best somewhere in-between.
Potential Fandom Combinations:
Grand Designs/[various]! Dracula, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Doctor Who, Howl’s Moving Castle (book or movie), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem: Three Houses (or Three Hopes), Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Sims, Untitled Goose Game, Dungeons and Dragons, Rapunzel (fairytale), Arthurian legends, anything from Slavic folklore featuring Baba Yaga and her chicken-leg hut; other fairytale, folklore, mythology and legend canons that the writer desires.
If you’re interested in something not on this list, please feel free to reach out via the Yuletide mods! I’d be happy to let you know if I’m familiar enough with a canon to read fic for it.
Prompts!: Essentially, I’m looking for a Grand Designs episode that features the characters and/or setting of another canon!
A specific prompt or two for each canon I’ve listed can be found in my letter (the list is a bit of a long boy, so I figure it’s best not to repeat it here when it’s available elsewhere). Although, it should be said I’m also interested in other ideas for any of these canons; like I say in the beginning of my letter, these prompts are intended as inspiration, not constraints.

Crossover Type: Either
Potential Fandom Combinations: Crying Suns/FTL: Faster Than Light
Prompts!: These two roguelike games have very similar mechanics. You're moving from sector to sector in outer space, and you have limited resources like fuel (which you use to make FTL jumps from star to star) and scrap/money (which you use to upgrade your ship). Along the way, you will meet enemy ships and need to fight. If you lose, you have to start a new run, but there's a potential to unlock different styles of ships or supporting officers that you can use in the future. FTL came first, and Crying Suns is sort of a homage/successor. However, in FTL, there's little in-character connection between different runs, other than the mechanics you've unlocked. In Crying Suns, your player character is a clone, so each run is a new cloned body, and in some sense you "know" you're in a roguelike game. I would be interested in anything that compares/contrasts/lampshades these parallels!

Crossover Type: crossover
Potential Fandom Combinations: 40 Winks and Little Nemo: The Dream Master
Prompts: Both of these games are about kids who don't want to go to bed, but then get enticed into sleeping because of magical dream adventures where they fight off nightmare makers. 40 Winks even calls the kids dream warriors! The details differ, but there's no reason why they couldn't be fused together. Especially if the dream world is real and has some influence on the real world, so as to escape the just-a-dream trope. Even more interesting, Little Nemo takes place in 1909 when Nemo is around 7-10 years old. While 40 Winks has no definite date, it was released in 1999 and Ruff and Tumble are similarly 7-10 years old. This could lead to a fun 'you looked like a kid in the dream!' scenario (because a-kid-at-heart is the better trope <3).

Requested Fandoms in my Yuletide Signup:
The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon
Christmas Lodge
Dying with her Cheer Pants On - Seanan McGuire
Rolling in the Deep Series - Mira Grant
North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell
Crossover Type: (ie. crossover, fusion, or either)
Either as per the prompts below!
Potential Fandom Combinations:
Any of my request fandoms plus specific other fandoms as detailed below. I know some of my fandoms might be harder to put with the others (North and South in particular could be uh... a challenge considering the time period lol), but I'm game to read it if you think you can pull it off LOL. You can honestly go wild for any of these combinations as I love the hell out of all 5 fandoms I requested this year!
Prompts!:
1) Fusions: Pacific Rim, The Sentinel (Sentinel/Guide AU technically I guess?) or Black Jewels Verse fusions for any of the fandoms I've requested would be love! All three of those verses/concepts are some of my very faves to see those details woven in with another fandom. It can definitely work as an AU as well I guess? I'm fuzzy on the difference between a good fusion and a good AU occasionally LOL
2) Any of my requested fandoms either crossed over or fused with the Innkeeper Chronicles - Ilona Andrews. If a crossover, I'd love to see the requested canon characters ending up at the Gertrude Hunt (the main Inn of the series).
2.5) Alternatively for a fusion and very specific to the requested fandom: I'd LOVE to see Christmas Lodge as one of the intergalactic magical Inns of the Ilona Andrews series and how Mary has to adjust to Jack's life as an Innkeeper or maybe a reimagining of the renovation of Christmas Lodge as a dormant Inn awakening and surprising all of them with the literal magic unfolding and the Innkeeper Assembly coming into play/trying to interfere or install an actual Innkeeper or something.
3) Either DYING WITH HER CHEER PANTS ON or the ROLLING IN THE DEEP series crossed over with another Seanan McGuire fandom. Be it October Daye, or Incryptid, or Sparrowhill Road, or the Wayward Children, or Middlegame - honestly I'd be thrilled to see my requested fandoms crossed over with any of the above! Granted I'm a few books behind on Wayward Children, though, so maybe just the in general fandom details for that one? I'm completely caught up on the other series I mentioned, however. (Note: I haven't read much of her Mira Grant or A. Deborah Baker titles yet aside from Rolling in the Deep and just a couple of her 1-shot Subterranean Press exclusives so best to stick with her Seanan McGuire series/stories as crossover fodder. I have a feeling I'll enjoy those other horror fandoms once I get to them, I just haven't had the time to read through them all yet LOLOL).
3) The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon crossed with another archeology/adventure type fandom with Jacob Thain encountering characters from say The Librarians or The Mummy/The Mummy Returns. The latter seems a little more likely with the similar timelines, but the former could be a lot of fun as well!
4) North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell is my fave Regency story, but I am a fan of Jane Austen too - specifically Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility - and would love to see John and Margaret running into some of Austen's couples or side characters. Also fun might be a magical Regency fusion with something like the glamours of GLAMOURIST HISTORIES world by Mary Robinette Kowal or the magicians of the Kate and Cecelia books by Caroline Stevermer & Patricia Wrede.
That is it I think. Really I just love my requested Yuletide fandoms and want to see those characters front and center when crossed over or fused from non-Yuletide fandoms. :)

Crossover Type: mainly crossover, probably
Potential Fandom Combinations: Welcome to Our Village Please Invade Carefully/The Prisoner (1967), Game of Rassilon/Classic Who, Thieves and TARDISes/Classic Who
Prompts!: In my letter I suggested that WtOVPIC and The Prisoner, which I both requested, would make a great combination of creepy hidden villages. I also had prompts for interactions between GoR or TnT (which are actual play podcasts based on the Doctor Who universe) and main Who canon. I didn’t get too specific in my letter but I have thought before that Lita would have Many Reactions if she met Seven&Ace.

Potential Fandom Combinations: Any and all combinations of Legend Of Yunze, Red Devil and Heroine Su, The Female Doctor and The Rabbit Spirit, Twenty-Four Solar Terms: Autumn Series - Ni Shui Han Cosplay Videos, Florasis "Sapphic Lipstick" Commercial
Prompts!: All these fandoms are historical/wuxia/xianxia prompts with some kind of magical element, whether it's cultivation or reincarnation or spirits. Feel free to mix and match however you want!
Do the Red Devil and Heroine Su work a case (ghosts, curses, demons) for the characters of the Legend of Yunze? Do the spirits from the Autumn series and the Female Doctor and the Rabbit Spirit know each other? Is the mortal lover mourned in Autumn Equinox one of the women from Florasis and unrequited love is being mourned rather than death?

Potential Fandom Combinations: Roseanne / Poison Ivy
Prompts!: This is vague and something I have requested only for treats
My take on both of these canons could be described as "A moody teenage girl played by Sara Gilbert meets a troubled-but-attractive love interest from an abusive family and said love interest ends up moving into her family home." Like, the two canons are absolutely nothing alike but there is this weird little connection, which I kind of want to play with, but I have no idea how.
What would happen if Sylvie met David instead of Ivy? They're probably more compatible, but would David be forward enough to get her interest, and would her parents have allowed a *boy* in the house? If Darlene met Ivy, would they become crime spree buddies or would Darlene treat Ivy like she did Molly? What if Sylvie and Darlene met each other? What if they did a temporary body swap where they each woke up in the other's life for a day? Would they fix each other's problems or make them worse? Would they want to go back to their own lives or be tempted to stay?

Crossover Type: Either
Potential Combinations/Prompts:
I'm happy to read crossovers with any fandom I have requested, written for, or bookmarked on AO3 before, but here are some particular ideas:
Tale of Heike/anything in the Japanese literary, mythological, or historical canon
I have so many potential feelings here:
* AU where Shigemori, instead of say Yoshitsune, is tutored by Soujoubou
* Shigemori joining the not-quite-human-realm: maybe he's mentored by a mythological being of your choice?
Left Hand of Darkness/Star Trek
Please oh please give me Estraven in Starfleet. Your choice of where/how/when: is it a "he lives!" AU where it's all the same, except that Starfleet actually co-exists with the Ekumen? Or an AR where the Ekumen is Starfleet?
Or just dump him in Starfleet altogether, and don't give me any excuses: I will read Estraven competence porn all. around. the. park. Is he Gethen's First Contact representative? Or maybe he was born when Gethen was already a Federation Planet, or in the process of becoming one - is he the first Gethenian in Starfleet? Or maybe Gethen is very established and Estraven's just out there kicking ass as a captain. Or ship him with anyone from any of the Star Treks I know (they're listed in my letter). Estraven/Spock, anybody? Or, good lord, Estraven mentoring AOS Kirk alongside Pike? Estraven/Pike??? TOO MANY OPTIONS.
The Culture/Any (Ghost in the Shell, Grand Designs)
Cross the Culture over into anything. I don't care, I'll love it. In the tagset this year:
Ghost in the Shell: Surface Detail is rife with the idea of backups and backing up and venting and reventing; I'd love a crossover in or out of Ghost in the Shell that deals with those concepts. One side of me feels that Culture tech is more mature, and that all of the issues and complexities we see the Major and society in GitS dealing with have been seen and triaged before: is there a "hump" where the technology gets so good that the dividing line between human/machine/collective stored unconscious is not a Big Deal, even though it is probably A Deal still? Or do we just never get to see that bit discussed? I'd be very interested in how the Major might feel getting plonked into the Culture, whether as S.C. or not.
Grand Designs - maybe a Culture person is making a house on Earth and Kevin McCloud is somehow there? Or maybe there's a fusion verse of Grand Designs where ship design is the topic?
Honestly, with this fandom, I trust your judgement: I'm down with Creator's Choice Of Fandom for this one.
Edo Era Intellectuals/Hikaru no Go or Watchmaker of Filigree St.
Go on, put the Go plays in Hikaru no Go, maybe...
Or crossover anyone time related with other timey-wimey fandoms like The Watchmaker of Filigree St., or Discworld. Maybe one of them is an eldritch horror like Mori? Maybe Mori knows one of them? Maybe one of them helps Mori engineer clockwork?

Crossover Type: Mostly fusions, but crossovers as prompted could be fun, too!
Potential Fandom Combinations and Prompts:
The Expanse/The Wire:
Amos comes from Baltimore, and grew up Doing Crime there. 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. Amos/Omar sounds 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 some of the Black Sails characters make their way in this future. You could even do something clever, crossing over or set in both time periods, if you felt inspired. I had a wonderful author write me a story with Max running a Belter brothel, and it made me hungry for more. Gen, Chrisjen/Max or Amos/Flint would be great. Flint would be such a terrible moral compass for Amos!
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/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’. This 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, with almost no actual canon.
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 is the beginning of The Arrangement?
Mercy Thompson/The Good Fight
Kalinda Sharma 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% in!)
Warrior/Hell on Wheels
1) What if Bohannon ended up taking a job with the San Francisco police in place of Richard Lee? I can imagine Ah Toy considering the dangers and opportunities such a dangerous man might bring.
2) Maybe Durrant was building his railroad West from the Pacific, using Chinese labor, when he hired Bohannon? I would love to read a fic where Wang Chao was one of the men who quietly organized the eight-day strike in 1867.

More details and prompts are in my letter but the basics:

2) SurrealEstate; fusion with Evil (TV), crossover or fusion The Exorcist (TV)
3) Ghost Whisperer; crossover with Relic Hunter (TV) - Prof Rick Payne on an adventure with Prof Sydney Fox
I have a wide range of fandoms which my AO3 fic/bookmarks gives an overview of and I'm open to other crossovers.

Letter: Here
Crossover type: Both
Combinations and prompt ideas:
Grand Designs x anything except Piranesi or HP Lovecraft, which I got last year: Earnest couple/family vs a genuinely haunted house. A seemingly idyllic building site turns out to be some kind of folk horror ruin. A very rich person has a very strange custom build and it slowly becomes clear that they're actually a supervillain / criminal mastermind / superhero / interdimensional visitor building their new lair. Grand Designs on another planet. Grand Designs in a fantasy world? Feel free to either just drop Kevin into the situation, or invent an original Kevin-analogue. Please no onscreen sex, but: if you have a total banger (no pun intended) idea where Kevin must confront a client with the extremely specific requirements of a house built in a world like that of Kushiel's Dart or some other spicy genre world ... follow your muse.
The North Water x The Terror: Sumner or Anna hears of/meets a white man amongst the Inuit who turns out to be Francis Crozier (canon) or some other survivor (AU).
The North Water x Polar RPF: Send Sumner on another terrible voyage (since at the end of the series he's fled to Europe, maybe he signs on the Belgica, if you can make the timing work? idk), have him meet survivors of an expedition. Anna meets a group of explorers and gives them a piece of her mind.
Raised By Wolves x The Culture: Contact or SC arrives on Kepler-22b; shenanigans ensue.
Raised By Wolves x other spacefaring canon: As above, really. Among others, I like Star Trek, Machineries of Empire, Babylon 5, Star Wars, and Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis books.
The Bear x Russian Doll: Weird, I know, but dropping Nadia (in Chicago for who knows what reason) into the Original Beef seems potentially hilarious. Especially if she knows or knows of Carmy from his previous life in fine dining.

Crossover Type: Any
Potential Fandom Combinations:
Prompts!: (as many and as detailed as you like)
Peter Pan/Moby Dick
My heart yearns for fic that explores the similarities and differences between Ahab chasing after the aquatic monster that ate one of his body parts and Captain Hook running away from his. I'm picturing it as crackfic!premise-written-seriously where they get together and ... I don't know. Do they moderate each others' tendencies, so that Hook becomes less phobic and Ahab less monomaniacal? Do they team up and together manage to successfully slay both beasts? Or do they fuck? This is Yuletide, so they probably fuck (I don't mind whether they fuck or not). Does the fucking affect anything?
Peter Pan / Moby Dick / Treasure Island / Barrett's Privateers
It's no secret that many of the fics I've loved to read or write over the years have focused on maritime gentlemen with fewer than average limbs. Any chance they could all get together and have adventures?
Generally
I like crossovers! My fandoms and requested characters this year are:
- The First Law Trilogy (Sand Dan Glokta)
- Moby Dick (Captain Ahab)
- Barrett's Privateers (Narrator)
- Philoctetes (Philoctetes)
- Cabaret (Emcee)
Feel free to cross them over with each other, with anything I've previously written, or with anything by Shakespeare.

Crossover Type: either
Potential Fandom Combinations: Anything with Dragonriders of Pern
My requested fandoms are FTL: Faster Than Light (Video Game), Earth: Final Conflict (Da'an and Zo'or), The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022) (Halbrand)
Prompts!:
In general: I love Hatching stories, I will be delighted with any kind of Hatching fusion or 'oh no the characters travelled / mysteriously appeared here and now they're caught up in a Hatching'
FTL: Faster Than Light (Video Game)
Pern is a location that the FTL crew run into - maybe very early, or at about just-after-ATWOP era so the dragons know they can teleport above the planet - what happens there?
Pern has always had the full set of FTL species rather than just humans - what does that look like? Cute Hatching crackfic with FTL species, thoughtful exploration of the effects on society, whatever you like :).
Earth: Final Conflict
Instead of Earth, the Taelons find the humans they need on Pern - how does local society react, who ends up liasing with the aliens?
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022)
A backwater planet is an excellent place to hide away and regather your strength, or try to hide from the world entirely - especially one with dragons! Bonus points for Galadriel in a shuttle crash...

Crossover Type: Fusion
Potential Fandom Combinations:
> The Sex Lives of College Girls/X-Men
> Paper Girls/Hunger Games
Prompts!:
> The Sex Lives of College Girls/X-Men: I would love for their college to be Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and to add superpowers to all the mess and antics they already go through. I think it would be so much fun to see them as mutants.
> Paper Girls/Hunger Games: What if instead of meeting while on their route, they met at the Hunger Games and started working together? These little genius would for sure try to win the games as a team.

Potential Fandom Combinations: The Invitation 2022/Dracula (Bram Stoker novel) or Dracula (Hammer films) or Vampire the Masquerade or Interview with the Vampire or What We Do in the Shadows or vampire media of your choice!
Prompts!: For Dracula (novel or Hammer) have Evie team up with the heroes! (Possibly including the REAL Jonathan and Mina Harker!) Or place the film in the context of another vampire media's rules. What about Walter and his brides as Anne Rice style vampires, or from Clan Ventrue, etc?

Fandom combination: Uqbar, Tlön, Orbus Tertius/Diaspora (book by Greg Egan)
Crossover type: Fusion
Tlön is a polis and the structure of its code is the structure of the languages of it, and so its ideas are literally built into the way that it is programmed. The fic is told from the POV of a visitor from a different polis.
Fandom combination: Fandom for Robots/Murderbot Diaries

Letter Link: https://nonesensed.dreamwidth.org/111500.html
Crossover Type: Both crossover and fusion :)
Potential Fandom Combinations: Almost any combination of my requested fandoms or one of my requests with any other fandom I'm familiar with! My requested fandoms are:
Dimension 20: A Court of Fey and Flowers
(Characters: Captain K. P. Hob & Delloso de la Rue)
High Noon Over Camelot – The Mechanisms (Album)
(Characters: Arthur, Guinevere & Lancelot)
Killjoys (TV)
(Character: Fancy Lee)
Rook & Rose – M. A. Carrick
(Character: Derossi Vargo)
Sapphire and Steel
(Characters: Lead, Sapphire & Steel)
Teixcalaan Series – Arkady Martine
(Characters: Nine Hibiscus & Twenty Cicada)
Prompts!: I enjoy the worldbuilding of Killjoys, Rook & Rose, and Teixcalaan a lot, so if you're inspired to cross over something with one of them, I'd love for it to be a two-canons-meeting kind of crossover or a fusion-with-that-fandom-as-setting kind of crossover. Open to whatever you can think up, but I especially think High Noon Over Camelot and Killjoys could be a fun crossover - either with the High Noon characters being fused into Killjoys-canon or as a crossover of the two canons. Also open to all manner of crossover-ships as long as they don't break up canon pairings I love (aka please don't break up Hob/Rue & Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot).

Crossover Type: Either
Potential Fandom Combinations:
Quantum Leap/Legends of Tomorrow, Quantum Leap/La Brea, Quantum Leap/Eureka, Quantum Leap/The Librarians
The Alienist/The Walking Dead, The Alienist/Ripper Street
Any combination of my requested fandoms (Quantum Leap, No Escape Room, The Alienist) would be stellar.
Prompts:
Quantum Leap (2022) - I feel that Quantum Leap has great potential for interaction with other shadowy organisation/time travel hijinks shows. For instance, what if Ben leaps into a time traveller, like one of the Legends of Tomorrow, or someone who is currently in the the far past, like a character from La Brea? There's the opportunity then for a modern-day character from the other canon to interact with team Quantum Leap.
Alternatively, what if Ian was able to source help for their mission from Eureka? (I NEED Ian and Deputy Andy to interact. I need it like AIR. I think they would ADORE each other). Or discovered their mission was less science and more magic - with The Librarians? There's mileage in having Ian approached for a Librarian mission too...
The Alienist - it occurred to me when I was writing my letter, that it'd be super interesting to see Marcus and Lucius surviving in a zombie apocalypse, and how their scientific brains helped them there. I'd be up for seeing a The Walking Dead fusion, modern or 1800s. Alternatively, crossover characters with something like Ripper Street (Jackson or Fred Best, specifically) might be fun.
No Escape Room - I think any of my fandoms could crossover with "haunted escape room timeloop" in a super fun and possibly spooky way, tbh.

Prompts!:
Much Ado About Nothing characters commenting on the messed up relationships in one or more other of his plays.
Galaxy Quest characters are rescued by characters from another sci-fi franchise.
The Extraordinaries (Seth and Nick) meet more superheroes. I imagine Nick would be entranced, and Seth would be cautious.
Cinderella 2021 -- I'd love to see other fairy tale heroines in this world, defining success in new ways beyond being rescued by/married to a prince

And I don’t know if this counts in this mini-challenge, and I’m happy to re-post without this if it doesn’t, but I’d love a fusion/crossover with lady_ragnell’s Les Mis series The Speech of Love, which can be found here https://archiveofourown.org/series/82429.
lady_ragnell’s blanket permission for transformative works with credit is here https://archiveofourown.org/users/lady_ragnell/profile
And she’s also participating in Yuletide 2022, so she should be easy to get in touch with!

Letter Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/183mX86C-3VkUHU10_9aPq-6BsVbGJeAYVWb9Ypn1Bm0/edit?usp=sharing (Asking For It, Turner Series, Twin Peaks, Utopia Avenue)
Crossover Type: crossover, fusion
Prompts:
Inception/Turners. I love the idea of any group of characters with various talents--ranging from street smarts to knowledge of chemistry--working as a team to pull off something with PASIV technology, and the Turners definitely has that type of group. It wouldn't have to be some majorly plotted dream heist though; something using the sci-fi to delve into the psychology of any of the characters would be cool.
The Magicians/any. Brakebills students! You could go the fusion route of implanting a magic school into the time and setting of a canon or still make it in New York.
Penny Dreadful/Twin Peaks. Maybe Laura Palmer is brought back to life by Victor Frankenstein? I'm also just fascinated by the potential parallels between her and Vanessa, being similarly gifted/cursed/doomed, how they might affect each other's stories if Laura was folded in with the PD gang. (I would prefer minimal use of Dorian Gray).
David Mitchell novels/any. This is already built into Utopia Avenue but I've read everything in the "Mitchellverse" and any reference to his recurring reincarnation theme is what I'm about. I love the idea of an Anchorite or more likely a Horologist (if you're not changing the manner of death) taking over the body of a character who canonically dies, or just appearing as an antagonist or a source of help in some strange way. In any case I'm always glad to see Marinus, wherever they may appear, whether characters around them know about their immortality or not.
