Dear Crossworks Author,

You are amazing. I want to tell you that up front, because you are. Please don’t stress about this assignment. Just the fact that you are writing crossovers for any of these fandoms in the first place will make me ridiculously happy. Also, I love gifts in general, so I’ll be chuffed to get a prize of any shape and size. I know this letter is ridiculously long as again I love these fandoms and I made a solid number of requests, but please don’t let that scare you off.

The only thing I do ask is that my No-Thanks list be avoided.

DNW:  Incest, underage/adult relationships, noncon, dubcon, infertility and/or miscarriage for requested LBDs, unhappy or tragic endings for the LBD/pairing, discussion of plagues/pandemics, slave worlds, demon-possession, mind control, prostitution, major character death, infidelity unless part of canon, love triangles/jealousy focus (I am far more fond of OT3ing it up), A/B/O, Modern AUs that remove canon SFF elements, amnesia, loss of limb/amputations, gender swap, teacher/student relationships, focus on drug abuse/alcoholism. Please no 2nd person or 1st person POVs.

For M-rated fics, please no knife play/blood play/gun play (only in a sexual context – canon level plot/action violence is fine), scat, watersports, rape-as-fantasy-scenes, anal for M/F pairings, and any kind of direct blow in a sexual connotation, including spanking/flogging.

Note re Pairings: I would prefer NOT to get M/M pairings for this. I lean much more to F/F or F/M (and M/F/M trios) except for some specific fandoms which I haven’t actually requested for this exchange. If you are solely a M/M writer, please go the gen route as all of these fandoms have fun ensembles that will work well without anything shippy beyond maybe mention of the canon married couples.

GENERAL LIKES: Fixit fics to bring back killed off characters, post-apocalypse, slice of life/domestic/curtainfic, epistolary stories, found family, crossovers with characters ending up at the Gertrude Hunt B&B of Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper Chronicles series, AUs (particularly zombie apocalypse, Black Jewels trilogy verse, Sentinel/Guide, Old West, Regency era, and Pacific Rim fusions) – tho as above I’d prefer no Modern AUs that erase any SFF or period set story elements, outsider POVs, mutual competency kink, and 5 and 1 style fics.

For M-rated fics, I particularly love dirty talk, a dom ordering their sub around without humiliating language, service doms and service subs, hair-pulling, restraint i.e.: ropes/shibari/handcuffs/holding partner down, wall sex, shower sex, cramped vehicular sex, biting/marking (without major blood being drawn), mate bonds, “OMG we didn’t die” sex, and “sharing body heat” leading to sex.

Optional Re Crossovers Between Requests: I also wanted to generally mention that while I have separated all these fandoms out in general requests to make my sign up work, crossovers of just about anything are love in my opinion. Thus, I am game for crossovers between basically any of these fandoms, so if there’s something else that jumps out at you, I will probably enjoy it! Just please stick with the fandom specific notes I have added as far as characters/pairings/prefer not to get too much of, etc. If it’s a really off the wall crossover that you are nervous about (one of the Regency fandoms meets one of the space sets perhaps?), reach out to the mods – I am quick to answer my email! Also, just FYI, I am game for either crossovers or fusions for all of these requests – I love the worlds of all of these fandoms and am perfectly happy to see them combined via either method.

Innkeeper Chronicles, Halo (TV 2002), Jupiter Ascending, Alien Quadrilogy Movies aka the Space Set
Fave Characters: Dina Demille, Gertrude Hunt, John-117, Kai-125, Jupiter Jones, Caine Wise, Ellen Ripley, Dwayne Hicks
Fave Pairings/Relationships: Dina Demille/Sean Evans, Dina Demille & Gertrude Hunt, Jupiter Jones/Caine Wise, Ripley/Hicks, Ripley/Hicks & Newt & Bishop
Prefer not to receive too much of: Dr. Halsey, Balem Abrasax, Titus Abrasax, Aliens 3 references

These are all comfort fandoms for me in an odd way, I’ve realized. Yes, there are a ton of explosions and violence on “screen” (or on the page in the case of the Innkeeper Chronicles), but there’s also a lot of really great character moments. Plus, the settings just SHINE. Each of them has the kind of setting that totally creates the mood, whether it’s the Gertrude Hunt (which, it’s an intergalactic B&B – talk about a built-in crossover method!) to the Halo itself to the Sulaco to the painful bureaucracy of Orus… I just love all of these different takes on space and the ways folks might end up there. Plus, did we mention all the different aliens? Oh, and the competency kink basically EVERYWHERE including between the canon couples? Again, I just love these fandoms and characters and I can’t wait to see how you combine them!

Stargate SG1, Primeval, Alice 2009 aka the Portals/Mirrors Set
Fave Characters: Daniel Jackson, Sam Carter, Jonas Quinn, Becker, Jess Parker, Alice Hamilton, Hatter
Fave Pairings/Relationships: SG1 Ensemble Friendships/Found Family, Daniel Jackson/Sha’re, Jess Parker/Becker, Connor Temple/Abby Maitland, Alice/Hatter
Prefer not to receive too much of: Goa’uld front and center, Daniel Jackson/Jack O’Neill, Tom Ryan, Danny Quinn, Queen of Hearts

Oh, the opportunities for falling through a portal or mirror in this one! Each of these has such a fun way of creating multiple worlds and/or timelines, and it could be really fun to explore the characters accidentally slipping into another fandom as well as the other worlds in their canons. Additionally, the fact that they all have their own military/security type service (with Primeval and SG1 both in the ‘real’ world while Alice 2009s are on the other side of the mirror) could lead to a lot of fun with some conflict and confusion between each of the teams. Really, I just enjoy the hell out of these – they’re some of my nostalgia faves lately!

Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, North and South, Glamourist Histories - Mary Robinette Kowal, Kate and Cecelia - Caroline Stevermer & Patricia Wrede aka the Regency with Bonus Magic Set
Fave Characters: Elizabeth Bennet, Charlotte Lucas, Elinor Dashwood, Colonel Brandon, Margaret Hale, Jane Ellsworth
Fave Pairings/Relationships: Elizabeth Bennet/Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elinor Dashwood/Colonel Brandon, Margaret Hale/Johnathon Thornton, Jane Bennet/Colonel Brandon, Charlotte Lucas/Elinor Dashwood, Kate & Cecelia family/friendship
Prefer not to receive too much of: Caroline Bingley, Wickam, Miss Steele, Mrs. John Dashwood

What can I say? I love Regency stories so so much, and these are some of my faves! From classic Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell to the much more recent (and much more magical!!) Mary Robinette Kowal, these are just a comfort all the way around. Whether you are mixing Austen characters into each other’s stories, or introducing them to a certain couple from the North, or if everyone has the Glamour from Kowal’s books, I just love the idea of seeing these mixed and matched all over the place! I am especially game for F/F couples across the fandoms if that is your thing, though I honestly don’t care if you go with period typical opinions of those types of couples or if it’s a queer-positive universe.

Leverage, Stargate SG1 aka the Special Features Inspired Set
Fave Characters: Daniel Jackson, Sam Carter, Jonas Quinn, Elliot, Parker, Hardison
Fave Pairings/Relationships: SG1 Ensemble Friendships/Found Family, Daniel Jackson/Sha’re, Leverage OT3
Prefer not to receive too much of: Goa’uld front and center, Daniel Jackson/Jack O’Neill, Nate Ford

This one is TOTALLY based on the creators of Leverage saying once upon a time that they would have loved to have a flash back of Elliot going through the Stargate because reasons. And really, what’s not to love??? Whether it’s solely Elliot involved with the SGC or the rest of the OT3 trio is with him or what, I’d just love to see that history for Elliot get some fanfic “screen” time as it were!

The Carnahan-O’Connell Family (The Mummy Movies) & The Addams Family (The Addams Family Movies) aka the Tumblr Post Inspired Set

So, for this request, I’m not really going to bother with the fave pairings/characters thing because it for me it’s all about the families (and family adjacent like Ardeth and even Debbie). Because, I won’t lie, this entire request is based on this Tumblr prompt: https://grumpyhellion.tumblr.com/post/635673099935825920/grumpyhellion-grumpyhellion-grumpyhellion-on  I don’t care how you make the crossover come about or what time period you pick or what the plot is (if you even have a plot LOL) – I just want these two happily married couples and their eccentric families and friends meeting and having the time of their lives with each other.  I prefer them being friendly as opposed to enemies, though supposed enemies to friends would be a blast too. Overall, that Tumblr post was such fun, and y’all, I feel like I could do with more similar fun in my life! Just please DON’T break up Morticia/Gomez or Rick/Evy as I feel both are absolute couple goals!

Stargate SG1, Sanctuary, The Librarians aka the Myths and Legends Set
Fave Characters: Daniel Jackson, Sam Carter, Jonas Quinn, Helen Magnus, Henry Foss, John Watson
Fave Pairings/Relationships: SG1 Ensemble Friendships/Found Family, Daniel Jackson/Sha’re, Daniel Jackson/Helen Magnus, Henry Foss/Ashley Magnus, Librarians Ensemble Friendships/Found Family
Prefer not to see much of: Goa’uld front and center, Daniel Jackson/Jack O’Neill, Nikola Tesla, Snake Brotherhood

This one smells like old books to me in the best of ways. All three fandoms have a lot of focus on myths and legends from Daniel’s background in archeology and anthropology to the Librarians’ Annex and their focus on Arthurian legends and even fairy tales to the Sanctuary’s focus on taking care of abnormals and/or cryptids. Plus, bless them all, they are practically old-book/research porn from so many angles, and the book lover in me really appreciates that. So yeah, however you want to enjoy that concept – just have fun!

Welp that’s what I’ve got for you! If you made it all the way through this letter, or even just through the details of one specific request, I salute you! Again, please don’t stress – I’m super excited to see what you come up with!
