Two for One 2023 (aka The Crossover Challenge)

Reposting [personal profile] regency's post from 2021, with permission and light edits.

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:

<b>AO3 Name</b>:
<b>Letter Link</b>:
<b>Crossover Type</b>: (ie. crossover, fusion, or either)
<b>Potential Fandom Combinations</b>: (list all combinations you're interested in, ex. James Bond/Ted Lasso, Succession/Squid Game)
<b>Prompts!</b>: (as many and as detailed as you like)


This will look 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: galaxyofroses
Letter Link: https://galaxyofroses.dreamwidth.org/3183.html
Crossover Type: Fusions
Potential Fandom Combinations:

The Expanse: Alien Quadrilogy, the Imperial Radch trilogy, the Wayfarer series, The Left Hand of Darkness, Space Sweepers (could be a straight crossover), and The Strange Case of Starship Iris. Open to other science fiction mash-ups!

Gattaca: Interstellar, or other early space exploration stories.

Knives Out: Virtually any mystery series, Agatha Christie, etc (crossovers with other detectives also good); Hallmark Christmas movies.

Space Oddity: For All Mankind, or other early space exploration stories.

No particular prompts! I'm just interested in the ways these stories might collide, the inter-genre potential.
