Prompts off the top of my head...
+ Arthur and Gwen racing against time to stop [insert Super-villain(s) here], before the end of the world as they know it. They're the Antihero's stepping up because they have no choice, there's noone else.
+ Gwen's idea of a holiday is unplugging the phone and spending the weekend curled up on the couch watching movies and reading... unfortunately Arthur plans something a little more exciting ...it's all fun and games until someone gets electrocuted.
+ Misfits!Merlin - The kids get superpowers they don't understand and can't control.
(Maybe mix it up - Arthur's touch causes anyone to go into a frenzy, Gwen can read minds, Morgana's immortal, and Merlin can go invisible (to everyone's horror)? ...maybe add in a time manipulating Gwaine? A youthful Gaius? A Morgause with the power of suggestion? A shape-shifting Mordred? ...the possiblities are endless.)
+ They finish their final exams and decide to take off for a week - ignore their parents calls, just hanging out before they have to part ways and go to university ... One week later they wake up in a foreign airport, each of them with a tattoo with a story behind it. If only they could remember what...
+ Alice in Wonderland Crossover: The Camelotian's fall into Wonderland? or Alice!Gwen, White Rabbit!Gaius, Hatter!Arthur, Queen of Hearts!Morgana, Cheshire Cat!Merlin, Caterpillar!Leon...etc ?
+ Unrequited love; Arthur, never confident enough to broach the subject puts everything he feels for Gwen into a book, which she only discovers years later...recognizing herself in the pages, she seeks him out.
+ Tired of being pawns in their parent's war/competition against each other, Arthur, Gwen, Morgana, Merlin, Gwaine, Leon & Elyan runaway. Developing new identities and forging their own path in the world.
+ Juvenile delinquents, Arthur, Gwen, Merlin & Morgana are sent to the Avalon Academy to set them right. With Uther as their Headmaster, Arthur and Morgana both feel they have something to prove to the entire school. Gwen and Merlin are surprised to meet their matches in chaos and find themselves being the voices of reason... much to their distress.
+ Community!Merlin - Paintball? The Debate? Winter Break?
(Maybe - Abed!Merlin, Annie!Gwen, Britta!Morgana, Jeff!Arthur, Troy!Lancelot ...and lol Shirley!Elyan? ...which leaves Pierce!Gaius *makes face and bursts out laughing*)
Other Crossover ideas: Inception, Percy Jackson and the lightening Thief, Sliding Doors, Bend it like Beckham, (Anything) Monty Python, Home Alone, Ferris Bueller's day Off, Ghostbusters...
_______________
I guess it all depends on:
Whether you even want Superheros/Antiheros or Super-villians (, Gods and Goddesses)...Whether you want to play in the past, the present or the future....Whether you want to rewrite your favorite shows/movies to allow Arthur and Gwen to fight/love/runaway there...but mostly - whether you're in the mood to write Crack or Angst or Romance...
Either way, now's the time to experiment. You have 20 days and falling...
