rthstewart | Crossovering exchange 2018 letter

Thanks so much xovering author! I hope you have fun with the assignment and that it doesn't cause you stress.
I've already given some prompts. If you have any questions, you leave a comment -- I permit anons over here.

So, generally, what I love:

Really I LOVE xovers and fusions.
UST; witty banter and snark; Politics, finance or military strategy; World War 2; Worldbuilding; Gap-filling; Culture clash healthy, romantic relationship between exuberantly consenting adults (canon pairing or OC); someone being extraordinarily clever and getting out of a jam; any canon character being observed from a third person point of view where you know more than the 3rd person pov; anything sly, wry, and silly; rapid fire dialogue; a delightful sense of the absurd
I don't mind character-driven rather than plotty fic, though plot is great too!
A happy ending, delightful characterization, and to laugh at least once
I prefer humor over angst and sex over violence.
Ladies being good at what they do, whatever that is.
AU, OCs, and canon divergence are great too.
In terms of ships, I'm good with just about anything or none at all. If you get shippy, I generally prefer m/f, f/f and poly. if you go m/m, please see DNW below.

What I definitely don't want in my fic: it's a short list but pretty strongly held: excessive angst, gore or violence; any dub-con whatsoever; female characters and especially WOC being written out of the narrative or canonical romance in favor of white dudes.

Also, there are some fandoms that I really like that aren't part of the exchange (Elementary, Wonder Woman movie, Temeraire, Bujold's Chalion, Warehouse 13) that could all be great match-ups with each other and some of what I've already prompted. Feel free to mix and match. And, if you see a possible pairing among the fandoms I did list (for example, Star Wars/Allstate Mayhem or Doctor Who/Star Wars or Narnia/any MCU) GO FOR IT.

Narnia/Captain America/Agent Carter/Indiana Jones

Let's punch Nazis. This is your basic World War II and post WWII cross or fusion. Espionage, spying, punching Nazis, commando raids at Hydra outposts during and after the war, SHIELD in New York. Also, punch Nazis. I've written some of this myself and have gone completely AU with Narnia -- the crash never happened, etc. So feel free to incorporate other MCU if you want. Among the ideas I had, tracking down weird Hydra artifacts, the Howlers finding about the Magician's Nephew rings, or going into the warehouse at the end of Raiders. Or, maybe a Pevensie becomes an archivist at that warehouse, or any of the Pevensies works for SHIELD, or with Cap or Peggy. Or Indy or Marion is a consultant to the Howlers as the Allies are cleaning out Hitler's storage closets (Hitler is obsessed with the supernatural, right?). You could also focus on the ladies, Marion, Susan, Lucy and Peggy and Angie (and maybe Dottie!?) all at the Griffith? Maybe Peggy tries to recruit Marion. Maybe they all have slumber parties and talk about weird the stuff they did during the war and punch Nazis.
I noted in the prompt that I didn't like how much Peggy had to fight for her place in SHIELD -- I know my worth, etc. Loved her, but I expected that Peggy was one of the founding members of SHIELD and acknowledged as such, per the portraits we saw in Winter Soldier so I'd prefer if stick to her having leadership.
Also, punch Nazis.

Allstate Insurance Mayhem/The Librarians
Those ley lines are centered over the Allstate Headquarters. Obviously. The Mayhem Guy is a Trickster or a magician.

Timeless/Person of Interest/Political RPF 21st century
Please, just fix it. Make it stop. The 2016 election didn't happen. Russian interference in the election didn't happen. The stories about Stormy Daniels and Karen MacDougal actually broke. Someone stopped Wikileaks. Someone stopped the DNC hacking. Oh god just make it stop.

Librarians/Timeless
I love the characters but had a hard time coming up with something specific in the way of a prompt. Both Team Librarian and the Time Team are very focused on making things right, and will alter time/history/reality to do it but are also very protective of history being a certain way. Both teams are protectors first. I could see Time Team being very skeptical of magic, but then again, they are riding around in a time machine and we're dealing with Jiya's ability to see the future. Or, maybe Rittenhouse steals artifacts from the Library? (You could also work the Indiana Jones warehouse in here. How did the Ark get from the warehouse to the Library?) As mentioned in my prompt, I love the overlap of characters, Eve and Wyatt shoot things and beat things up, Jacob and Lucy gush about history and the ethics of changing it/not changing it, Jiya, Rufus, and Cassandra and Ezekiel geek about visions, video games, math and hacking and is it just REALLY ADVANCED technology? Or magic? I could see both teams being at the same pivotal moment in history and wrestling with whether or not change. Maybe the Librarians realize that Time Team and Rittenhouse keep trying to change history and try to do something about it.

Doctor Who/All Star Wars/The Expanse
All the ladies, in space, and especially, women of power and substance, like Leia, Padme, and Chrisjen. This could also be a fusion -- Mara Jade is Chrisjen's spy or River Song ends up in the Star Wars verse and is a pain for Leia or Mara or is Chrisjen's secret archeologist. Bobbie Draper wasn't among the offered characters but, by all means, include her too if you can make it work!
