Crossworks 2020

[desertvixen]

Have fun, because I will love what you come up with....because I love love love love crossovers and can't get enough.

My general preferences are here.

So, first, let me tell you a little about what I love in each of the fandoms.

Fairy Tail: I love this fandom.  The story is strong and swivels around on different characters, and there’s so many great moments.  (And so much inherent shippiness!)  I am current on what’s been released in the US so far for the anime and am slowly working through the manga.  My favorite arcs are Grand Magic Games, S-Class, and Battle of Fairy Tail/Fantasia.

Dallas 1978:  1980s extravagance and excess.  JR Ewing scheming, wheeling and dealing.  The way Sue Ellen's alcoholism is real, both the ups and downs.  The fashions!  If you are familiar with the reboot, feel free to hint at it.  I also love the "we'll fight all we want but you take us all on" dynamic.  Would prefer focus on later seasons, unless you want to have some fun with Bobby Ewing's shower.

Dallas 2012: They did an awesome job of translating all the things that made the original Dallas great, and both main male leads are ridiculously hot.  I wonder what would have happened if Larry Hagman hadn’t died, but the way they brought back original characters and mixed them in with new ones was excellent. I also loved the touches of “real world” (of course the Ewings have a box at Cowboy Stadium!  Of course Jerry Jones knows JR!)

Falcon Crest: I am here all the way for Angela Channing.  Dallas and Falcon Crest used to be my grandmother’s Friday night viewing, and Angela always intrigued me.  I loved how she played feminine wiles and sharp business and was like a deadly snake. The California scenery was good too, but for me the show was always about Angela.  Lance is entertaining, but no match for his grandmother.

Hart to Hart: These two have such chemistry, and I love it.  I like the more serious undercover stuff (like related to Hart Industries) and how they just keep having murders happen around them.  The 80s fashions are also fun!  The first season episode set in Vail is one of the best.

Murder She Wrote: My mother watched this show so much, my brothers and I refer to Angela Lansbury as Grandma.  I love Jessica and how she just stumbles into murders (or is a murder magnet).  I like Cabot Cove stories but some of the travel ones (like Snow White, Blood Red) are also excellent.  Seasons 2-5 are good.

Clue: I love this movie, especially Miss Scarlet - how she is brash, frank, sexy and unapologetic.  Feel free to combine Clue with anything on this list.  I really like the whole "strangers trapped together" deal.

Cherry Ames: I like the WW2 stories just as much as the Cherry Ames, Random Nursing Job titles.  I like her determination, her late streak, and just her in general.  My favorites are Army Nurse, Chief Nurse, and Boarding School Nurse.

Nancy Drew: I love Nancy in all her incarnations - originals, yellow spines, Nancy Drew files.  I like when she's determined and maybe a little reckless in pursuit of mysteries.  No Nancy/Ned, please - I don't ship it.  I love The Mystery of Lilac Inn and the Bungalow Mystery.

Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys SuperMysteries: So this update of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys (and bringing them together) really scratches my 1980s/1990s itch.  I love how they’re always HAPPENING to run into each other and OOPS our mysteries are connected.  Frank Hardy was probably my first fictional boyfriend (so much better than Ned) and the UST, while varying from book to book, is great – but aside from the UST I love how well Nancy and Frank work together.  My faves are The Last Resort, Dangerous Games, Exhibition of Evil.  And Joe!  I love how funny and brash he can be, like taking on the bad guy with a water pistol.

Perry Mason: Perry/Della.  Perry relying on Della's feminine intuition.  Clients who just can't tell the truth even when it would help, and who just can't resist hiding that one thing.  Perry making people think he's done in.  Paul doing the last minute legwork.  I have the whole show, but definitely want the show, not the movies.

Captain America movies: I really love the first one, but I also love watching Steve adapt to his new reality.  And the whole scene in Winter Soldier where Zola is all "accidents happen"... Also, there's totally UST between Cap and Black Widow.

Hunger Games (books):  I enjoyed the first 2 movies as much as the 2 books - a little shaky on the Mockingjay stuff.  I enjoyed getting more in Katniss’ head and I loved the songs in the books. 

Poirot: I love the books.  I love how Poirot is nosy and interested in how people’s brains work, in how people reveal themselves by what they say and don’t say. I love Hastings.  I am a fan of the show, and David Suchet is Poirot to the life. 

Wonder Woman (Jenkins movies): This movie was like everything I needed/wanted as a teenager.  I love how Diana isn’t trying to be sexy – she just is.  I loved how her relationship went with Steve, except for the sad end.  I loved her earnestness, and I wonder what we see in the next movie.

Scooby-Doo: I love the gang.  I love secret passages and trap doors and masks – and the fact that there’s always someone under the mask.  I love their sense of friendship. I love Daphne and Velma.

 

 

Fairy Tail, Clue (1985) 

Crossover or Fusion

Levy McGarden, Gajeel Redfox, Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Evergreen (Fairy Tail), Elfman Strauss, Mirajane Strauss, Laxus Dreyar, Gray Fullbuster, Juvia Lockser, Miss Scarlet (Clue), Wadsworth (Clue)

I'd love to see these two mashed up...

I don’t really have anything to add.  I love dinner party mysteries.  Maybe they’ve all been called there on a job (as in, different jobs) and have to work together? 

 

Dallas (TV 1978), Falcon Crest (TV), Hart to Hart, Murder She Wrote 

Crossover or Fusion

Jessica Fletcher, J.R. Ewing, Sue Ellen Ewing, Ellie Ewing Farlow, Clayton Farlow, Jennifer Hart, Jonathan Hart, Sly, Angela Channing

80s murder mysteries and soap operas for the win. I expect the Ewings would provide a nice mystery to solve, and I'd love to see the Harts and Jessica work together. Just imagine showing up at a resort where they're both guests - does anyone survive?

Max and Freeway are not necessary.

I think these three would crossover nicely, especially something linking Hart Industries, Falcon Crest and Ewing Oil (mergers? JR pulling a dirty deal?) Feel free to have other 80s shows cameo in - I'm a big fan of Hill Street Blues as well. I'd love to see Jonathan and JR interact, especially both think they can take the other (and I'm sure Angela could take both of them and come out on top) Please work Sly in if you can!

If you use Falcon Crest, I want Angela to come out on top.  But I am down with a mystery encounter at a vacation place – perhaps in CA wine country?

 

Dallas (TV 2012), Hart to Hart, Falcon Crest (TV) 

Crossover or Fusion

J.R Ewing, Sue Ellen Ewing, John Ross Ewing III, Christopher Ewing, Pamela Barnes (the younger), Jennifer Hart, Jonathan Hart, Sly, Angela Channing, Lance Cumson

80s murder mysteries and soap operas for the win, especially when you get the second generation involved. I expect the Ewings would provide a nice mystery to solve, and I'd love to see the Harts and Jessica work together. Just imagine showing up at a resort where they're both guests - does anyone survive?

Max and Freeway are not necessary.

I think these three would crossover nicely, especially something linking Hart Industries, Falcon Crest and Ewing Oil (mergers? JR pulling a dirty deal?)

If you use Falcon Crest, I want Angela to come out on top.  But I am down with a mystery encounter at a vacation place – perhaps in CA wine country?  John Ross and Christopher are both ridiculously hot, so if you could convey that I’d be grateful.

 

Cherry Ames - Helen Wells & Julie Tatham, Perry Mason (TV 1957), Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene 

Crossover or Fusion

 

Nancy Drew, Carson Drew, Eloise Drew, Helen Corning, Don Cameron, Perry Mason, Della Street, Cherry Ames, Marie Swift

Any and all combinations are good! Maybe Carson Drew needs some help with a case in LA - maybe Perry needs a connection in River Heights! Cherry Ames, Law Office Nurse? Nancy and Cherry team up and solve mysteries? You could go with a WW2 theme or a more timeless one.

What it says on the tin.  What would a Law Office Nurse do?  Or perhaps Cherry is a witness to a crime?

 

Clue (1985), Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Super Mysteries - Franklin W. Dixon & Carolyn Keene, Dallas (TV 1978), Falcon Crest (TV), Hart to Hart 

Crossover or Fusion

Miss Scarlet (Clue), Wadsworth, J. R. Ewing, Jonathan & Jennifer Hart, Nancy Drew, Frank Hardy, Angela Channing

Any and all here, please! This one lends itself to the cracky sort of crossover where the how is not important. If you want to put all of these together in a Clue setting, that would rock my world. JR definitely has something to hide. I'd love to see Nancy interact with Jessica or the Harts...or trying to solve a dinner party mystery. Fashion descriptions would also rock!

This.  You never go wrong with a Clue crossover.

 

Cherry Ames - Helen Wells & Julie Tatham, Captain America (Movies), Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene, Poirot - Agatha Christie 

Cherry Ames, Marie Swift, Steve Rogers, Bucky, Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Nancy Drew, Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings

Any and all, 40s era fun (feel free to transport yellow spine or 1930s Nancy into 1940s). House party time! Cherry assists Poirot with a case. Nancy assists with a case. Cap and crew assist with a case.

I envision Poirot as the anchor for this one, but maybe SHIELD needs a nurse or has a wartime facility in River Heights?

 

Wonder Woman (Movies - Jenkins), Captain America (Movies), Cherry Ames - Helen Wells & Julie Tatham, Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene 

Diana Prince, Steve Rogers, Bucky, Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Cherry Ames, Marie Swift, Nancy Drew

Wonder Woman and Cap adventures. Cherry Ames meeting either Cap or Wonder Woman in the course of her job. Diana and Nancy solve a mystery?

I totally ship Diana/Bucky but would prefer the focus on the women.

 

Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene, Scooby Doo Where Are You! (Cartoon) 

Crossover or Fusion

Scooby, Daphne, Velma, Nancy Drew, George Fayne, Bess Marvin

This one is pretty obvious. Please include plenty of secret doors, secret passages, pretend ghosts and people being unmasked. Daphne and Nancy seem like they would have people in common.

This was a latebreaking idea but I think it would be super fun.

 

Fairy Tail, Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins 

Fusion

Levy McGarden, Gajeel Redfox, Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Evergreen (Fairy Tail), Elfman Strauss, Mirajane Strauss, Laxus Dreyar, Gray Fullbuster, Juvia Lockser

Basically a Hunger Games-style AU with magic, would fit well with S-Class Trials or Grand Magic Games

I am willing to relax my character death one on this one but don't kill Gajeel or Levy

Maybe the Guilds are districts?  Maybe the Games are in Magnolia where they meet (and decide to overthrow the Games)?  I just think it could be interesting.
