Two for One 2021 (aka The Crossover Challenge)

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: crossover/fusion/either


Fandom: DirecTV "Wonder" Commercial
Potential Fandom Combinations: Superheroes, Sports RPF, Alien/Robot movies
Prompts!: This fandom itself is already a crossover/fusion of sorts, and it seems ripe for further fusing. I'm not as familiar with Tennis RPF outside of the big names, but other athletes could certainly join in. Maybe this takes place in a universe where athletes took on superhero mantles to protect the masses with their insane physical prowesses? Maybe Misty May/Kerry Walsh are battling volleyball monsters next door? Also, any kind of superhero canon, no matter how big or obscure, could probably enhance this verse. Or something Terminator-y or Independence Day-y with the robot/alien uprising aspect.


Fandom: Hot Goth Lady and Himbo Witch and Fair Maiden (Tumblr Post)
Potential Fandom Combinations: Because I Will Never Be Able to Eat Lava (Tumblr), His wife has filled his house with chintz - jjbang8 (tumblr post), There are many benefits to being a marine biologist (Tumblr Post), Other Yuletide Tumblr 'verses through the years
Prompts!: One of the other tumblr posts making the rounds this year perhaps? Maybe Chaotic Himbo from the Can't Eat Lava post could come looking for a spell to let them eat the lava, or at least tell them what it would be like? Do the marine biologists need anything magicked? Perhaps the Fair Maiden is a marine biologist? One of the chintz guys could be an option for matchmaking with the Himbo Witch?


Fandom: Are You Being Served?
Potential Fandom Combinations: Fawlty Towers, A Bit of Fry and Laurie
Prompts!: I think this show has a lot of potential for crossovers with similar British comedy shows. I mean, Fawlty has to get his suits somewhere, right? Perhaps one of the Fry or Laurie characters could pop into Grace Brothers, or Mr. Humphries could be interviewed for one of their 'man on the street' bits? The Mr. Dalliard skit seems the obvious choice — maybe they come in to apply for a job at Grace Brothers? Tony and Control are always good for a laugh too.
