Two for One 2022 (aka The Crossover Challenge)

Reposting [personal profile] 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: 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. :)
