It's a fine, fine line...

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Indiana Jones and Resident Evil.
The story should use aliens as a plot device!

Generated by the Terrible Crossover Fanfiction Idea Generator

That is SO totally doable. It's Indiana, it's Zombies and it's Aliens. We can have Alien-Zombies and it won't be a long stretch.

It's just hard to place the events in a timeline, but if, say, Kurogane's parents had been killed just a little before Yuuy got outside that pitch thing? Then it's very possible that Syaoran's past was the first one to happen- and his kidnapping and the creation of Cloney (and possibly C!Sakura, too?) were basically the reason why the others got involved? Or something like that.

I- I think it'll make sense once we see WTF happened once Syaoran became a teenager again, with the whole "giving up his time" thing.

I also hope Wata isn't just Eriol's and Kaho's son D| Mostly 'cause it just seems too easy, and 'cause why the hell would they die in a mundane accident? Plus, Wata has a different name (and unless Yuuko was bluffing in the first chapter, it's his real name), the connection to Syaoran and Sakura and April 1st and the "don't disappear" thing and gsklgjdjk so many things that can't just be explained by saying he's Kaho's and Eriol's kid.

In Tsubasa is kind of impossible to have a linear timeline, as shown with the events in Shurano and the whole butterfly effect they keep using.

And yeaaaaah. I hope that other than being Clow's great great great great twice removed from the mother's side grandchildren, he's not actually related to any previously existing character.

It's not, but if FWR has always been in that same place, then the events we've seen so far did happen in a particular order for him.

I'm expecting his origins to be actually related to Syaoran and his time-space adventures, rather than just "okay he's so and so's kid". That could easily explain why the relation to Clow, and why is it that his is a "rare" existance and why he could actually disappear.

in a mundane accident

Well, they just said 'accident,' I can't remember, but they didn't say what kind of accident it was. :S Maybe it wasn't so mundane. :S *almost convinced by that theory here*

I've spent half Indiana Jones 4 with my eyes closed for the god damned aliens 8

[allira_dream]

I didn't actually get to see the movie, but I heard enough to laugh out loud about it.

[azartti]

It's the only one of Indy that I've seen, and it had to be of aliends. I'm scared of them 8<.

[allira_dream]

OUCH. T-that's terrible DDD= *hugsssss*

Je, I've been sort of building my own canon since Acid Tokyo, because as much as I loved Infinity, juuuust. Yeah. Which is why I'm hoping something SO AMAZING happens that I decide against writing it, 'cause it's a whoooole rewrite, and I'd rather focus on my own projects.

I wouldn't count on Ruby and Spinel being around for one reason: if CLAMP forgot about everyone in Sakura's family but Nadeshiko (so... Junior recognizes the dead grandmother but not his grandpa and his uncle and the false form of mom's guardian...? did they die as well...?), who's to say they wouldn't forget about Eriol's family?

I'm clinging to technicisms around the terms they use themselves RE: Watanuki not being Eriol (and Kaho)'s son. We see Li Syaoran© (the whole lot of them, batteries clones not included) are called descendants of Clow. Then I can't recall Sakura Kinomoto being called distant descendant of Clow -or maybe she was but I don't remember. Descendant, yes; distant descendant, not that I remember. So any child of Eriol wouldn't be called "distant". A descendant of Eriol might be considered distant descendant of Clow, I suppose, and perhaps Watanuki could be a grandson if we really stretch it.

tl;dr: So. I hope that the word distant means Eriol isn't the poor faceless good-at-cooking bastard who died for plot.
