What Does This Mean?
[ FANDOM ][ FANFICTION ][ GENRE ]
Fanfiction that combines characters and settings from two or more different source materials or franchises, distinguished from a 'fusion' (where a major AU reconciliation is needed to merge the universes) in that a crossover simply lets the separate fandoms interact.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The crossover fic dropped the Avengers straight into Hogwarts with zero explanation."
LORE & ORIGIN
No single origin point exists; it is an old story trope that emerged as soon as fans began writing across multiple fandoms simultaneously.
