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!

This entire thread is brilliant, and I am almost laughing too hard to nitpick, but I don't think Duv could have been in ImpSec yet during the Regency. ISTR him being a ten-year veteran and in his mid-thirties in Brothers in Arms, which would have him entering the Academy right around the time of Gregor's majority.

I realised that belatedly! But this would be a quite young Duv, anyway, even Brothers-In-Arms period Duv is a bit too cynical to be sufficiently croggled by the behavior of his superiors. So set it right around the time he graduates, as an early assignment (or even while he's still in the Academy, maybe? We know that Simon et. al. were keeping a special eye on him, and he would have been a bit of a special case) during the period when Aral went from Regent to PM but Gregor was still deferring to him on everything. And it mostly works. I mean, given the silliness of the general premise, anyway. :P

This is true. No matter how much my timeline really wants to have to Duv overlap with Gregor at the academy, Duv didn't enter until Aral was Prime Minister. Then there was however long hte Academy lasts, and then he was grabbed up by ImpSec.

OTOH, if Duv isn't ImpSec and is undergrad/grad at this time, it works. ;)
