Hypothetical crossovers meme

[melannen]

ellen_fremedon has started a meme, which is terribly dangerous but too tempting for me to ignore, so here:

Let's play the Hypothetical Crossover game! Name any two (or more) fandoms you know I'm familiar with*, and I will tell you how I would, hypothetically**, cross them over!

Take the meme, spread the meme, do the meme, love the meme.


*Fandoms I'm familiar with: written on AO3 (expand full list), tagged on DW (under fandoms: , though note my DW tags are a mess atm); marked 'read' on LT: SF and YA, comics (and art), everything. (If you want to be particularly evil, you can give me two fiction fandoms + a nonfiction book and I will mash all three.)

**I thought about saying that you can't name a pair of fandoms about which you know I have already a) written, b) hypothetically discussed, or c) declared I am not writing, but nah. Just, if you give me one of those, you deserve what you get in return!

I've written that one already! :P Sweet Oblivion, featuring Byerly Vorrutyer/Thomas Raith and the Oblivion War.

If I wrote any more of this, it would go more deeply into Alys Vorpatril's involvement with the White Court - I don't think she and Ivan are actually active vampires, but they have connections, and Alys has power (maybe Padma was actually true love for her, so Ivan has White Court blood without any of the disadvantages) - and how the various supernatural groups changed and weathered the Time of Isolation on Barrayar. If I got really ambitious I would tell the story of Mark's slow recruitment as one of Alys's agents in the supernatural world, because you know that Jackson's Whole is up to its ears in vampire and faerie influence.

...alternatively I'd just stick Harry and Miles on the same planet at the same time via ~shenanigans~ and see how many things blew up in the process. That would be more fun!

Oh, phooey. I clearly didn't read that one because I only vaguely know who Thomas Raith is (I read one book with him).

Your comments make me want Harry Potter/Vorkosigan in which Padma and Padma meet.

That one may not actually make much sense unless you've read the Thomas-focused novella, actually. :/

Here, have some more: I suspect that Drou is a practitioner (after all Negri wouldn't neglect the Princess's safety on that axis either) and thus all her daughters have various levels of power. Kareen was one of the first Barrayarans of Wizard power levels to go to Beta Colony, and part of her adventures there involve liaisoning with the galactic descendant of the White Council. Martya has her own projects, and Delia is going to be invaluable to ImpSec once she's knocked enough heads around...okay tbh at this point I just want there to be a story about Dono and Olivia playing with magic, crossover canon regardless.

Harry Potter/Vorkosigan crossovers were actually how I found Vorkosigan fandom! :D Padma and Padma would be... interesting, especially since neither of them have much canon...

Yay! Drou totally is!
