Okay, like 6 weeks ago I said I would have a better idea. Mainly because I was going to research and make a chart and possibly fill in some amazing notes and examples

My f-listers already know this: I've decided to do a crossover for this year's Marvel_bang: SHIELD (Barton)/James Bond. Natasha will also feature prominently, as will Nick Fury and M. Inter-agency cooperation and culture shock! I'm actually quite excited about this...
Here's the mental snippet that opened my mind to the possibilities (it may or may not appear in the final piece, in this or another form, but in the meantime it functions as my personal teaser):
Barton: "Codename's Hawkeye. Yours?"
Bond: "007."
M: "Commander Bond is one of our Double-O cadre of agents."
Barton: "That supposed to mean something to me? That Double-O thing?"
Thanks ... I never thought I'd do a crossover because I don't actually watch that many shows. But seriously, I can't wait to get into this one. The opportunities for some serious culture clashing are just too ... too! :-)
I think the Avengers can be crossed over with anything but, then again, I wrote a Knight's Tale AU so I think pretty much any AU or crossover works. The more fun and pretty things together, the better (IMHO).
As far as fusions go, I would really like to see a White Collar or a Covert Affairs one to celebrate fun summer shows. For me, bizarrely, the only crossover that really doesn't work is other superhero films and comics (excepting a really good Catwoman/ Black Widow fic I stumbled across ages ago). To suspend disbelief we have to make different assumptions for each universe, and when they come together it just doesn't work.
I agree with you! I really really really LOVE crossovers and AUs and fusions and it just works for Avengers. All you need is imagination. They're so much fun. Your Knight's Tale AU was such enjoyable read and it's one of my favorite fics :D :D I love it to pieces!
I am crazy about crossovers and fusions. frea_o asked me few days ago to come up with the weirdest one, and my idea was Avengers/Glee. Because Tony Stark VS Sue Sylvester showdown would be hilarious, as superspies investigate something about McKinley High. (It should be slushies related. Someone should sing something about their relationship/ust, which is obvious to everyone, and it should be properly embarrassing for them.)
Did I mention I reeeally like crack? *G*
I'll give you a rec - our very own shenshen77 wrote an awesome, awesome Bourne legacy/Avengers crossover that features both Clint/Natasha and Aaron/Marta. It's wonderfulness on top of wonderfulness and she writes awesome action. Here is Borthers 'verse :D :D
Wonderfulness on top of wonderfulness? Woah, that is a lot of wonderful, just like you are :D After all, it's all your fault that I started writing this and now can't stop :D
I always used to be one of those who said they didn't like AUs and crossovers. Then I stumbled into this bar and that all changed, up to the point where I wrote a crossover myself. I really think that there are endless possibilities for crossovers with the Avengers verse. I mean Clint and Tasha are covert operatives, they can blend in anywhere :)
Crossover fic made me discover anuna_81 and I'm so happy about that. She wrote an awesome Castle/Avengers crossover that features Clint/Natasha and is just delightful. Random Numbers is currently at seven chapters and I hope that nuna will finish it one of these days, because I NEED IT :)
This fandom comes with lots of firsts, I think. I never liked something and that all changed sort of things happen around here ;) :D
That story made you discover me?? Really?? I am SO GLAD NOW that I wrote what's there and I really really SHOULD finish it because, dear God that crossover is FUN. So many characters, everyone is awesome. :D
Oh, crossovers. I love them with unholy glee. I think I've crossed Avengers with Arrow, Chuck, and Chicago Fire and have done a couple of fusions just for kicks and giggles. It's fun trying to fit the pieces in from two different universes in, especially if you can make it so that one person from one universe influences something in the other universe, and hijinx ensue. And I love it when characters don't get along right away in a crossover. In a way, crossovers are really very similar to my one true love, the alternate universe.
Favorite crossovers: Random Numbers by anuna-81 - Castle/The Avengers where Clint Barton and Kate Beckett had a one-night-stand and whoops, mini-Barton happened.
They Will Rock You by hufflepuffsneak - A Knight's Tale/The Avengers because c'mon, Clint as Ulrich von Lichtenstein will never not be brilliant. This one combines rock'n'roll and some fantastic, thoughtful Clintasha (Natasha having a lot of agency is the best thing about it) and is phenomenal.
