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.)

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).
