About Crossover

Two or more separate canons collide: characters from different universes meet, team up, fight, or fall in love. Crossovers range from elegant fusions that merge settings into one world to gleeful collisions that drop one cast into another's plot.

Crossovers answer fandom's eternal 'who would win' and 'would they get along' debates on the page, and the friction between universes generates stories neither canon could hold alone.

Common scenarios: Detectives from two different procedurals jurisdictionally forced onto the same case, or a fusion sorting one show's cast into another universe's institutions.
