updated 2021-12-25


This post is my complete list of crossovers (as far as I've added them in my database). I will endeavor to keep it updated as new crossover fics are added to the database.

I have included one of my own fics in this post, and tagged it as a favorite, because I like to re-read it. (I only do this for some of my fics.) It is not marked as exceptionally well-written because I couldn't evaluate my own work with clarity that way, even if I particularly like the way I wrote something. It's also tagged as a WIP because I never did get to finishing it. *sheepish grin*

I'm so delighted MFTF has returned! It's one of my favorite exchanges because I love tropes so much. I hope you have just as much fun writing for me as I will have reading what you write!


Yes please! )

DNWs )

Opt-ins I'm OK with )

If writing a romantic friendship, I'd prefer the line be drawn at forehead/cheek kisses and cuddles; please reserve lip kisses for sexual relationships.

If a prompt requires something that's listed as a DNW, please follow the prompt rather than the DNW. :)

Also, if choosing between writing the characters as true to themselves as you can, vs. writing a trope or prompt precisely, I'd prefer you to keep the characters true to themselves.


Crossover Fandom )

Alphas (TV) )

FBI (TV 2018) )

FBI Most Wanted (TV 2020) )

Rookie Blue )


So many tropes, so little time to write them all! I hope at least a few of these inspire you. :D Happy writing!
doranwen: female nerds, rare and precious (Default)
AUex is an exchange that seems to be tailor-made to me. I love what-ifs, canon divergence, and a variety of excellent tropes, and with this exchange, I can indulge that love to my heart's content. I hope you have just as much fun writing for me as I will have reading what you write!

Yes please! )

DNWs )

Opt-ins I'm OK with )

Also, if choosing between writing the characters as true to themselves as you can, vs. writing a particular trope or prompt, I'd prefer you to keep the characters true to themselves.


Don't worry if someone's written that particular idea before. My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion. Too few of these AUs have been written, and I want to see more of even the ones that have!

I don't go into a lot of my thoughts on most of these fandoms and characters (and please do not read anything into which sections are longer or not, I honestly love ALL of these), but I've requested all of them in other exchanges unless otherwise stated below, so if you want more info on the way I look at them, just filter my posts by the "fanfic exchange letter" tag to see other letters that have the same fandoms.


I've requested Crossover AU for a few fandoms (as well as the tag Worldweavers fusion). For any crossover AU, you are totally welcome to cross any of my requested fandoms with any of the others, or with the following:

1-800-Missing (S1 only, not the S2-S3 of Missing) - I prefer non-shippy here
C-16: FBI - I *maybe* ship Amanda/Jack
Cybergeddon (web series) - I don't ship Chloe/Frank, ambivalent about Chloe/Rabbit
Leverage (but please stick with the original show and pretend the new series hasn't happened) - I ship Nate/Sophie and Eliot/Parker, do *not* ship the OT3 or Hardison/Parker, but all gen for the younger three is perfectly fine
Push (2009) - I ship Nick/Cassie
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye - I ship Jack/Sue and Myles/Tara
Worldweavers - Alma Alexander - I prefer non-shippy here


And now to the requests (in the order of which I found them in the tagset):

X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) )

Alphas (TV) )

FBI (TV 2018) )

FBI: Most Wanted (TV 2020) )

Rizzoli & Isles )

Rookie Blue )

Rookie Blue )

Smallville )

Women's Murder Club (TV) )

I love Chocolate Box! I hope you have a blast writing for me. I always comment on my gifts and appreciate the hard work my writers do in crafting a story for me, and I'm sure I'll enjoy what you write.

I've tried to help you out by describing what I love about each fandom and/or character, and I've written a few prompts in case you find them useful, but if you come up with something of your own, please write what you think will work best! I've been wonderfully surprised by fics that I never would have thought of in a million years but which were absolutely amazing.

Fics of any length beyond the minimum are fine with me. If your story runs away with you, please be reassured I will love it longer just as much as if it were exactly 300 words.

The icon may make it appear that I have a particular bias towards Rookie Blue, but that just happens to be the only fandom I requested that I actually have an icon for, so please don't worry: I really truly will love fic for anything I've requested! :)

Please don't worry if someone's written a similar idea before. My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion. Everyone comes at it differently and I'll enjoy it no matter what!

AUex is here!!!!!! I wanted AUex before it ever existed, and am so delighted that it has returned once again. I adore canon divergence so much, and there are so many other interesting AUs that have intrigued me, as you will see. I did a lot of describing the awesomeness about each character and AU idea, and hope you're truly inspired by them. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)


I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going and work with a requested AU: https://doranwen.dreamwidth.org/240453.html

Besides those tropes, here are my general likes:
deep platonic friendship, romantic friendship, asexual romance, found families, apocalyptic fic, hurt/comfort, nonsexual physical touch (including cuddling), self-sacrifice, characters being vulnerable, character redemption, survival fic, positive treatment of religion, characters dealing with trauma, trust building, missing scenes, canon divergence AU (especially fix-it fic)

DNWs: supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), aliens other than Superman, unrequested deathfic, horror, calling an adult "baby" or "darling", mpreg, crackfic, gore (mild violence is OK, just not as graphic as a surgery documentary), uncensored profanity, first/second person fic

DNW/Caution note: I'm not averse to mentions of sex, but I'd prefer the fic not focus on it or indulge in the physical feelings. Emotional feelings/bonds are what I focus on in any ship. If a prompt requires a mention or implies sex in some way, feel free to include it as necessary as long as the focus of the fic is elsewhere.

I love doing Chocolate Box every year. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

What I love about relationships is all the emotional depth: vulnerability, loyalty, knowing someone so well you know what they feel/think/need, even just having someone there as an emotional "rock". The whole "not being alone" feeling is such a powerful theme.

The sad part of archiving is running into groups which are effectively closed - the owner/moderator is MIA for some reason (or just not seeing the emails of me requesting membership), so there's no way to be approved as a member. Yet there are some that I really want to be a member of for their own sake, because I want to read the posts. Below are my top five:

#1 - PretenderHeadquarters: link
I love The Pretender a ton, and Jarod/Miss Parker are my OTPest of OTPs. If I had known of The Pretender back when this group was really active, I would have totally joined in a heartbeat. (I commented on their LJ to no avail; I'd have posted on the Facebook account too if I had a FB account - if anyone wants to do that for me, please! That would be very helpful.)
Approved and backing this one up now! :D

#2 - SueThomas_FBeye: link
SFTBE is one of my favorite shows, and it's already had whole forums stuffed full of fic disappear with no backups. I'd hate to see these vanish too!

#3 - deaddolphinandfloggedhorse: link
This is a truly MASSIVE archive of posts and Logan/Marie fic for X-Men movies - a ship I love very much. I would love to read the fic on here!

#4 - lordoftheringstrilogy: link
This one looks to have been reasonably active with probably some interesting fic and discussion, and I love Lord of the Rings to pieces; it's the first fandom I ever saw fic for, and the books have a special place in my heart.

#5 - FidesAchates: link
This one's a gen fic group! I don't know whether any of the fandoms posted about are mine, but I'd love to have a chance to find out.


Should you know anyone who is a member of any of them, please let them know how to back things up and let them know I would love to be able to read, even if the admin of the group isn't around to grant me access! (Even if it's just "here's the html export of the entire set of messages".)


The ones that didn't make my top 5 list )

I had such a blast doing Multifandom Tropefest last year, I had to do it again. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing or group, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

Some of the fandoms below have more tropes than others; this has nothing to do with how much or how little I love the pairings/groups, but more with how versatile the pairing/fandom was for different tropes. I'm sure I'll love reading whatever you write for any of these fandoms! :)

I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

I love characters who are strong, characters who have quiet depth, characters with an active inner life, characters who think and feel… You'll probably see this in the characters I requested. :)


I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going: http://doranwen.livejournal.com/246063.html

Besides those tropes, here are my general likes:
deep platonic friendship, romantic friendship, asexual romance, found families, apocalyptic fic, hurt/comfort, nonsexual physical touch (including cuddling), self-sacrifice, characters being vulnerable, character redemption, survival fic, positive treatment of religion, characters dealing with trauma, trust building, missing scenes

DNWs: sex or sexual feelings, supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), deathfic or horror, calling an adult "baby" or "darling", mpreg, crackfic, gore (mild violence is OK, just not as graphic as a surgery documentary), uncensored profanity, first/second person fic


Don't worry if someone's written that particular idea before. My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion. Too few of these AUs have been written, and I want to see more of even the ones that have!


And now to the requests (in the order of which I found them in the tagset table):


Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis )

Gold Diggers (1995) )

Middle-earth Book Canon )

Middle-earth Book Canon )

The Pretender (TV) )

Rizzoli & Isles (TV) )

This is my first time trying Not Prime Time! I'm looking forward to it. :D I did a lot of describing the awesomeness about each character or pairing, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

What I love about relationships is all the emotional depth: vulnerability, loyalty, knowing someone so well you know what they feel/think/need, even just having someone there as an emotional "rock". The whole "not being alone" feeling is such a powerful theme.

deep platonic friendship, romantic friendship, asexual romance, found families, apocalyptic fic, hurt/comfort, nonsexual physical touch (including cuddling), self-sacrifice, characters being vulnerable, character redemption, survival fic, positive treatment of religion, characters dealing with trauma, trust building, missing scenes, alternate universe (especially fix-it fic)

DNWs: sex or sexual feelings, supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), certain AUs (medieval, fantasy, supernatural, fairytale, feudal, space, historical), deathfic or horror, calling an adult "baby" or "darling", mpreg, crackfic, gore (mild violence is OK, just not as graphic as a surgery documentary), uncensored profanity, first/second person fic

Don't worry if someone's written a similar idea before (even as a gift for me!). My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion. I love to see how two people can take the same idea and come up with two totally different stories. :D

If you're crossover-inclined, you're welcome to cross these with any fandom I know: If I've requested it or listed it as a possible crossover fandom in one of my other exchange letters, you can totally use it! Every one of the fandoms I've requested crosses pretty well with others, I think.


And now to the requests (in the order of which I found them in the tagset):

Push (2009) )

X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) )

The Pretender )

Rizzoli & Isles )

Happy writing! :D

This might be useful for anyone who just wants a good fic in a certain category, no matter the fandom. Everything is cut so if you don't want to see a particular category, just be sure to view this from the page for this date, and expand only the categories you want. I'll add more fics to this as I find them or think of them. This list is by no means all-inclusive; absence of a fic on it only means that fic has not come to my mind yet as an outstanding example of a particular category, though it may be well-written.

Please let me know if you run across any dead links to stories (that aren't specified - at least one of the stories in this post was deleted after I rec'd it, and I've left the rec up with a note to that effect).

For other fic lists, check out my master recs post.


Romantic Friendship )


Hurt/Comfort )


A-plots / Casefic )


Friendship )


Gen - Introspective )


Gen - Comedy )


Gen - Heartwarming / Holiday )

doranwen: reading one book is like eating one potato chip (Reading One Book)
A/N: Started this list a couple months ago. I figure now that I've slowed down reading and gotten back into doing a million other things, that I should post this.

2nd A/N: I am "updating" the time and date of this post periodically, to keep it easy to find.


I'm going to start forgetting my favorite X-Men fics, in the mound of them that I'm reading, so I'm going to list them here along with links so they can always be found--and so I can share, when I decide this post is done. All of the below are ones that I re-read over for some reason, or that struck me really hard when I first read 'em, or were excellent treatments of an idea or a situation, or that were just funny good ones that had to be shared.

I believe there is a distinction between my favorites and the very best stories, although I'm sure there is some overlap. *g* For those who do not have time to read much, I'm starting this with a "top five" list, of the stories that I've read so far that I would consider must-reads for this fandom, followed by a highly recommended list of five more.
