Fusion Fic (trope)

A Fusion Fic is a variety of crossover fic where two or more works are merged together into one (hopefully) cohesive setting. The most common types are:

  • Transplanted Character Fic: The main characters of work A are placed in the setting of work B; they may re-enact work B's plot with some changes, or go about an entirely new plot.
  • Film Fic: The characters of work A are actors playing out the plot of work B.
  • Setting Merge: Two different settings are brought together in some way. This can be something as simple a secret connection popping up, all the way up to creating a completely new setting using elements of the two.
  • Complete Merge: As above, but the two casts are also melded into Composite Characters.

Sometimes overlaps with Meta Fic and Elsewhere Fic. Compare the more typical Intercontinuity Crossover. Not to be confused with Patchwork Fic, where a fic merges elements from multiple adaptations of a single parent work.

See also Role Swap AU, where the characters within a single work switch roles with each other.
