Crossworks Letter

[crantz]

Hi, I'm Rosencrantz on Ao3! Thanks for being reading my letter! All prompts are for fic crossover/fusion.

DNWs: Non/dubcon, Underage (any adult/under 18, sexual under 18/under 18), and unhappy endings.
Likes: Adventures, mysteries, ghost stories, exploring what makes a canon special.

I made sure to only choose canons where I liked every character and was fine with any non-dnw-violating pairings. So you don't have to worry who you choose. Please don't worry if I didn't mention a character - I'd still be completely happy to get them. It's just that the canons have SO MANY characters, it would have been impossible to prompt for them all.

I'm happy with gen to explicit fic! If you have any questions, please contact the moderator and I'll be happy to answer them.

Fandoms:

• Star Trek: The Next Generation/World of Warcraft


• Star Trek: TOS, The Transformers (IDW Generation One), X-Men (Comicverse)


• All Creatures Great and Small/Pokemon (Anime and Videogame)


• Ghostbusters (2016), Midsomer Murders, Murder, She Wrote


• Ghostbusters (2016)/Pokemon (Videogame)


• Ghostbusters (2016)/World of Warcraft


• Muder, She Wrote/World of Warcraft

Star Trek: TNG/World of Warcraft

Basis of why I like this crossover/fusion: Space travel exists in both universes, Azeroth is its own planet that could conceivably be visited by the Enterprise (or Outland) which they could justify visiting because of the Draenei ships proving warp technology.

Specifically, while I do just like the mental image of Picard riding a red drake for whatever reason, a big thing I was thinking was the concept of the 'curse of flesh' that exists as the origin of humans, dwarves, and gnomes when they started as metal (well, vrykul which became humans), earth/stone (dwarves), and robots which became gnomes when the old gods corrupted them. And you know who's a robot who'd love to have flesh? Data. Also I think Troi has a lot in common with in-game priests, as a concept.

Prompts:

• First contact


• Data gets the curse of flesh


• Picard does dragon diplomacy


• Troi gets mental contact with the void


• Draenei space adventures


• Worf as a warrior


• Starfleet encounters the Burning Legion (space demons!)


• I know they're no longer red but - scourged Redshirts


• Trying to broker peace between the Alliance, the Horde, and the Gnolls


• Riker romances a quillboar/any WoW species (does not need to be the main plot, I just get a kick out of it)


• Doctor Crusher discovers the Light


• Holodeck


• Q


• Crew staffed by Azeroth races

I don't take either fandom terribly seriously, so if you want to poke fun at their various universe rules (corpse-running, those poor goddamn ensigns, etc), that would be fine!

Star Trek: TOS, Transformers (IDW G1), X-Men (Comicverse)

All right! Three fandoms, four combos. Let's do this.

A little known fact is that there is canon crossovers between TOS and X-Men, as well as the fact that Transformers had a period of being a Marvel comic! This is not wholly relevant because I will not be prompting from those sources. Also, I would completely accept if you use the G1 cartoon instead of the IDW comics but it didn't seem like it was worth it to nominate that one. I love/know both.

I love the canon pairings for the Transformers, Brainstorm and Cyclonus are my favourite characters, and I like all the TOS characters equally. But there is no character that's a DNW. For X-Men, I'm very fond of Gambit/Rogue but other than that any pairing that doesn't violate my DNWs is fine with me if you want to write pairing fic! I have no character that is a DNW for X-Men as well. I'm a big fan of the first Chris Claremont era team and the 2000s team with like Joseph and Maggott and Marrow and such. But any era you want, any characters you want.

Star Trek: TOS/Transformers

What appeals to me: Well, it makes sense that they would run into Transformers. Transformers are aliens. An interesting thing about the Transformers universe is that all the aliens are Very Big and it's humans who are tiny. So heading to the Big Part of the galaxy might be interest in general for the Enterprise crew!

Prompts:

• Kirk dealing with the leadership techniques of Rodimus and Megatron


• Political situation on Robot Planet (I know it's Cybertron but I always think of their episodes as Gangster Planet and Roman Planet) with TOS techniques


• In this Enterprise's universe, were the Transformers ever on earth? Did they leave? Are they part of the Federation?


• Minimus and the Prime Directive


• First Transformer in Starfleet and the accommodations made


• One of the TOS crew become the Relatable Human Sidekick


• Ratchet and McCoy


• Perceptor and Spock


• Brainstorm borrows some dilithium


• Starscream decides to make the best of 'first contact'

Star Trek: TOS/X-Men Comicverse

What I like: It's so easy to mash these two up.

Prompts:

• Time shenanigans


• Mutants in Starfleet


• Enterprise in a past so much like their own yet so different


• How come your mom lets you have two Hank McCoys?


• What if any of the TOS crew was mutants?


• What if the X-Men were a space crew?


• Mistaking the X-Men for aliens


• Rogue and Spock mindmeld issues (Rogue has... many minds)


• Mystique gets up to shit, I bet she's still alive by TOS time


• Did the mutants all leave earth at some point for their own safety? Mutant planet!

Transformers/X-Men Comicverse

What I like: It's easy to put the Transformers in as just another alien race in the Marvel universe. I wonder if they get offended by Sentinels. Also, Transformers have their own mutants.

Prompts:

• Fusion style - Transformers are part of the X-Men universe and their goals converge


• One of the mutant Transformers ('outlier') joins the X-men


• X-Men style team of Outliers


• Transformer vs Sentinels


• Jean Grey in her role as a diplomat for mutants spends time with a diplomat for Transformers and discuss their goals


• The Blackbird has a secret (IT'S A TRANSFORMER)

Star Trek: TOS/X-Men Comicverse/Transformers

Prompts:

• Transformers and X-Men take place in modern times - what would it be like by the time their world has reached the Star Trek timeline!


• The TOS team finds a battle frozen in time by a mutant and unlocks the Transformers and X-Men inside to a whole new world.


• Put Kirk in spandex, I dunno


• Enterprise is a Transformer and also Kirk is a Summers.

All Creatures Great and Small/Pokemon Anime
All Creatures Great and Small/Pokemon Main Videogames

What I like about this: I love the books and the show about All Creatures, I love the show and the games for Pokemon. Use as many elements from either as you like! I like all the characters. The teams, the vets, the heroes, it's all good. I have no pokemon I dislike. I do specify the Galar region a few times in this but only because it's clearly based on England. Do not feel like you have to use it at all. Use your favourite region. Make up a region! Use England! Any pairing is fine as long as it doesn't violate my DNW, if you want to include a pairing.

Prompts:

• Miltanks


• Egg care (I like the show canon that the eggs are different based on what pokemon they're from, as opposed to all looking like Yoshi eggs in the game)


• Nurse Joy as James Herriot


• Miserable weather to go help a Pokemon in the Galar region


• Pokemon care in the history of the Galar region, before Pokemon centers were a thing


• SHENANIGANS of the sort the animals get up to in All Creatures but with pokemon


• Rural pokemon owners who think they know best than the vet (and are sometimes right, like that time with the cow with the broken pelvis and the ginger)


• Tricky Woo - The pokemon


• Trying to court someone via caring for their pokemon (a bit like how James met his wife in the show)


• The care of a particularly unusual type of pokemon, like a ghost pokemon or a rock pokemon.

Ghostbusters (2016), Midsomer Murders, Murder She Wrote

Okay, obviously what I like about Ghostbusters is that they bust ghosts. I like all the characters. Midsomer Murders is a delight because it's extremely trashy and full of tenuous murder. Murder She Wrote is one of my favourite shows and I love Jessica and how there's like an affair or five every episode. I would like to combine all these elements.

I have one request for this: Please do not make Jessica a murderer. Other than that, I have no caveats.

Ghostbusters/Midsomer Murders

Prompts:

• Midsomer must be hecking haunted with the sheer amount of death in that place.


• Ghostbusters international?


• What if Barnaby had to talk to ghosts to solve the murders?


• What if a ghost was doing the murdering?


• What if the Ghostbusters come to do a presentation at a convention in Midsomer and Barnaby is all 'haha whatever ghosts' but THEN--

Ghostbusters/Murder She Wrote

Prompts:

• Cabot Cove ghosts.


• What if Jessica had to bust ghosts?


• What if Jessica has to work with the Ghostbusters?


• What if one of the Ghostbusters is Jessica's niece? And the predictable happens.


• What if one of the Ghostbusters is dating one of Jessica's nieces/nephews?


• What if Jessica needs to research ghosts for one of her stories?


• What if one of the Ghostbusters is a huge fan of her work and is trying to do what she can to impress Jessica? And it escalates?

Murder She Wrote/Midsomer Murders *Ghostbusters

Prompts:

• Jessica comes to Midsomer. So much murder.


• Cabot Cove and Midsomer find themselves competing over planet's murder capital.


• Researcher trying to figure out what makes those two places nexuses of death.


• Book tour to Midsomer


• Barnaby and wife are taking a vacation to a quaint Maine town. But what happens whenever a fictional police officer takes a vacation? (Add ghosts if this is also crossed with Ghostbusters)

---

Ghostbusters (2016)/Pokemon Main Videogames

I love ghost pokemon. I love Ghostbusters. I'm aware that the ghosts in pokemon are sometimes malevolent.

Prompts:

• Ghostbusters are actually a class of trainer.


• Ghostbusters need to discover that Ghost pokemon deserve love and understanding, not busting.


• Trying to run a business helping people dealing with ghost pokemon and barely making any pyen.


• Inventing a pokeball specifically for ghost types and marketing it.

---

Ghostbusters (2016)/World of Warcraft

I love that World of Warcraft is actually full of ghosts. You can barely go anywhere without running into them. I have no problem, by the way, of you changing the Ghostbusters into various World of Warcraft races. Or making up an entirely original team.

Prompts:

• Gnomish ghostbusting technology


• Goblin ghostbusting technology


• Ghostbusting Sylvanas (I love Sylvanas, but it'd be funny)


• Adventurers who specialize in this type of thing


• New York has the same 'ghosts everywhere' problem Azeroth has


• Trying to figure out how to deal with an entire ghost city like in Azsuna or Nazjatar

---

Murder She Wrote/World of Warcraft

This is kind of a crack idea. But I love fantasy style mysteries. I think Jessica would make a good gnome. Caveat: Please don't make Jessica the murderer. This is well suited to be a fusion, but also Jessica finding herself in Azeroth and immediately getting embroiled into a murder mystery and figuring out the rules of this world would ALSO be very appealing. If you do change Jessica to an in world race, I have absolutely no preference (besides the gnome suggestion) or even if she's Horde, Alliance, or unaffiliated. I also do not care if her nieces or nephews, if you go that plot type, are the same as her.

Prompts:

• Jessica wakes up in Azeroth. And there's a murder. Can she and Horatio Laine solve it?


• Jessica already exists in the WoW universe and there's been a mysterious murder. She gets involved, as is her way.


• She's a famous author like the guy who keeps writing the Steamy Romance Novels. What sort of literary conventions are there in Azeroth? I know I've found the romance novels in ALL sorts of odd mobs.


• Jessica rides a dragon.


• Jessica is a retired hero who's drawn back into it to solve a local murder and finds that maybe she's not as retired as she thought she was.
