Two for One (aka the Crossover Challenge)
(copy-pasting from last year's post)
Optional details are optional, and crossover requests are even more optional than the rest. The likelihood of anyone knowing both fandoms is small, but Yuletide is a time of unexpected delights. You never know!
To play, 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. Stranger Things/Dark Tower, Persuasion/Black Sails)
Prompts!: (as many and as detailed as you like)
One of the fandoms in each pairing must be one you requested for Yuletide, but the other doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t even have to be in the tagset at all!
Some clarification about crossover types, using non-Yuletide examples (this is meant to be broadly directional, since these terms are somewhat fluid, and there are always hybrids):
• Crossovers often involve both sets of characters interacting. For example, a story in which James Bond and Batman team up to defeat a villain would be a crossover. A story in which James Bond travels to Middle Earth would also be a crossover.
• Fusions are often AUs in which Fandom A's characters have always existed in Fandom B's setting instead of their own. For example, a fic in which Merlin was born in a galaxy far, far away, discovers that he has the Force, and befriends a dashing smuggler named Gwaine would be a fusion, especially if none of the actual “Star Wars” characters appear. (A fic where they did appear would be an example of a hybrid.)

Crossover Type: either
Potential Fandom Combinations:
• Dance Academy/And Her Eyes Sewn Shut with Unicorn Hair
• Dance Academy/Scry
• Dance Academy/To Kiss the Granite Choir
• Chronicles of Narnia/any of the above
• Neverending Story/Scry
• Princess Bride/To Kiss the Granite Choir
• any combination of And Her Eyes Sewn Shut with Unicorn Hair/Scry/To Kiss the Granite Choir
Prompts!:
I would love Abigail/Wes from Dance Academy fused into any of the fantasy canon scenarios/roles above. She’s an amazing dancer and so committed. I’d love to see her in a unicorn princess/queen scenario or as the royal wife left behind for the conqueror to find (though Wes makes a much better Idrask type than a Karnon Dae type, it still sounds fun) or the whole singing/sword-fighting/refugee scenario of the Baremescre and Imre with their personalities instead. I’d love anything like that.
Alternatively, if you can think of an interesting way to actually cross over any of these canons, I’d certainly be interested in reading it. The worldbuilding is so different for all of them, I’m very curious indeed.
Maybe interesting crossover potential in wherever Karnon Dae was going that humans could not come? or maybe some kind of Narnia (wood between the worlds, portals, etc.) or Neverending Story (with the way the scryers work, it just makes me think of how wishing creates there) type of scenario. Or some characters from a canon I know that would be appropriate, e.g. Princess Bride, encounter the Baremescre? If any of this inspires you, feel free to go wild.
