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!

Homestuck and TDS/TCR? (Reportverse preferred but not necessary.)

So the go-to way to do Homestuck crossovers is either a) have them play Sburb or b) have them be trolls or c) have them be humans but with troll romances.*

But you know what? No. Stephen is a carapace. He's a leading figure in the Dersite media, known as the Shouty Commentator. He is of course completely and totally loyal to the Black Queen, and is constantly failing to walk a balancing act between his terrifyingly obvious (to everyone but him) crush on the Black Queen and his utter hero-worship of the Sleeping Heroes (pick your session.)

Eventually the Archangent approaches him, because it is well-known that the Jaunty Satirist - the leading Prospitian media figure - has a soft spot for him. The Archangent isn't sure whether the Shouty Commentator shouldn't be trusted because he has been suborned, but after SC gives him many proofs of his total and complete loyalty, the Archangent instead recruits him to suborn JS.

SC is more than happy to do this! Anything to serve the cause of Derse! But the longer the Archagent watches him insinuating his way into JS's confidence, the more it looks like he might be going native...

Then there are stabs, probably. And Sweetness.


*Stephen, btw, thinks Jon his fated kismesis. Jon lets him keep thinking this because he is the bestest of moirails.

Okay, someone needs to write this fic now.

It's amazing how well Stephen's worldview meshes with the Midnight Crew's!
