I'm thinking of supernatural series like, say, BtVS, mainly. But stuff like Constantine or Hellboy or Blade might be interesting to discuss, just to see if anything else can coexist with Nasu's rules, concepts, marbles, phantasms and Types.
First, some background:
Awww. I read this when it was firs recc'd, it's good. But I'm on such an F/SN kick at the minute, I misread the quote as Xander/Ilya.
Isn't it sad? :blue:
Now I want a Xander/Archerko fic, but most likely it'll never happen. Damn you for bringing it up! :angry: :angry: :angry:
I said:
So then spooky said "Wait, how would that work?" And MyLittlePwnies said "Wait, how would that work?"
I'm glad you asked.
Vampires existing in both but being so much more awesome in Type-Moon was something I couldn't quite resolve, until recently. Here's what I'm thinking:
Dead Apostles, True Ancestors and Dead Apostle Ancestors all originate from Gaia, with a template based on Crimson Moon. BtVS Vampires don't. They're the result of demonic blood corrupting a human, who became the first Vampire. Demons exist in the Nasuverse, so that specific type of Vamp could probably be an experiment by them to try and gain physical bodies and power without the usual drawbacks.
IE, rather than borrow some living dood's body, they mix blood, kill the human and then possess the corpse completely. They're not as powerful as The 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors, but they're guaranteed to turn without any Ghouls or Living Dead - and they tend to approach Rank E for their stats. Even better, they don't have the concept of death unless you stab them in the heart or cut their heads off.
Also, Watcher's Council? Totally part of the Mage's Association. Probably founding members of it. Mainly because a Giles who's owning vampires in the face with thaumaturgy would be awesome. And Giles, Ethan and the other kiddies having a shared Reality Marble that Eyghon uses to fuck with them would also float my boat.
Anyway, as for crossovers? You could use Zelretch, or take a page from Kieran's Bleached White. I was considering totally turning Halloween on it's head, having Kieran's version of the crew interfere and give us Akiha!Willow, EMIYA!Xander and Bazett!Buffy. While borrowing several powerful artifacts that would give Ilya a more regular power supply.
See? Everbody wins. Except the people who are completely fed-up of YAHF. Which is most of us. But the basic approach to melding the two settings seems sound.
So much so, that I'd probably approach it from the angle of Giles teaching the core Scoobies some basic thaumaturgy, which reveals Willow's incredible aptitude [would she be Rin-type or Aoko-type? Many circuits or one circuit?] And Xander has a Reality Marble. No, seriously. One thing that only he can do, which forms the basis of his being kinda useful. I'm leaning towards some kinda elemental affinity he adds to stuff, like Roa's original power. Or beast materialization, mixing elements of Nrvnsqr and Merem.
Thoughts? Opinions? Reasons why this would never work in the Nasuverse?

There are too few Buffy/Fate crossovers.á We who love both must rectify this tragic situation.
