Line 6:
As any [[Shipping|shipper]] knows, [[Canon Universe|continuity]] is no barrier for [[The Power of Love]]. The logical extreme of this is [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] [[Fan Work]].
As a general rule, this is much more light-hearted and less [[Serious Business]] than intra-continuity shipping, favoring the [[Rule of Funny]] instead of an unironic [[OTP]]. These ships are usually labeled as [[Crack Pairing
When you factor in [[Non-Linear Sequel|Non Linear Sequels]] like the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series that have multiple continuities, series with a [[The Multiverse|multiverse]] and even official [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] franchises like ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', it all turns into Schrodinger's Ship, as it becomes simultaneously impossible and [[Canon]]-friendly.
[[Theme Pairing]] holds a lot of
Since there's a infinite number of possible crossover pairings, don't be surprised if you don't see a crossover pairing that already has fanart,fan videos and/or fanfiction for it here.
{{examples}}
== Canon Examples
* There's a semi-canon example in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]/[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' novel ''Planet X'', where [[Crack Pairing|Captain Picard and Storm]] express interest in one another, [[Star-Crossed Lovers|but decide not to pursue it]] since they're...y'know...
** So does that mean she has a thing for [[Actor Allusion|Professor X]]?
* The DC/Marvel series in the 90s gave us a short [[Batman|Robin]]/[[X-Men (Comic Book)|Jubilee]] romance which was actually quite nicely done, in a rare example of a canonical crossover ship.
Line 28:
* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' has quite a few, most notably [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Amuro Ray]] and [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Misato Katsuragi]], [[Actor Allusion|due to]] [[Relationship Voice Actor|the fact that]] [[Tohru Furuya|their]] [[Kotono Mitsuishi|voice actors]] also played [[Sailor Moon|Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon]], respectively.
** Oddly, Amuro (or [[Kotetsu Jeeg|Hiroshi]]) never seem to get paired up with [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Murrue]], [[After War Gundam X|Tonya]], or [[GEAR Fighter Dendoh|Vega]]. Vega's {{spoiler|married}}, but the other two...
** Setsuko Ohara of ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]'' and [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Shinn Asuka]] in Z is probably the most supported pairing, if not, ''the'' prime
*** It's strange that [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Kamille]] is left out of any crossover shipping in Z, since he , Shinn, and Setsuko form a [[Two Guys and a Girl|tight]] [[Three Amigos|trio]] {{spoiler|after her squad is killed by Asakim.}} Kamille and Shinn are best friends on Rand's route as well, so it's hard to belive the [[Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls|crazy fangirls]] haven't run away with that by now.
** ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'' also pairs up a few characters who made their debut in different games/continuities: [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Ryusei Date]] and [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Latooni Subbota]], [[Super Robot Wars Compact 3|Folka Albark]] and [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Shouko Azuma]], and [[Super Robot Wars Advance|Axel Almer]] and {{spoiler|[[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Einst Alfimi]]}}.
Line 37:
* In The [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Wizards]] [[The Suite Life On Deck|On Deck with]] [[Hannah Montana]] crossover, Justin/London, Max/London and Zack/Alex are [[Ship Tease|teased]].
* In the [[Image Comics]]-published third volume of [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]], Michelangelo hooked up with Horridus from [[Savage Dragon]].
* ''Tom Thumb and Thumbelina'' is an actual ''film'' built around a Crossover Ship of [[Public Domain Character
* One Dreamwave [[Transformers]]/[[G.I. Joe]] crossover has [[Kid Appeal Character|Bumblebee]] and [[Action Girl|Scarlett]].
* When ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]'' teamed up with the previous ''[[Power Rangers Time Force|Time Force]]'' team, they teased [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Eric and Taylor]].
Line 45:
* In a spin-off series in the Eighties and Nineties, it was impled that [[Nancy Drew]] and [[Hardy Boys|Frank Hardy]] had a crush on each other (Poor Ned and Callie). Similarly, there was a much more faint flirtation between Bess Marvin and Joe Hardy.
== Fanon Examples
* Besides for the many below examples, the characters of [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] get this a lot. [[Torchwood|Captain Jack Harkness/Ianto]]/Dawn, Xander/[[Halo|Cortana]], Buffy/[[Firefly|Mal]], Dawn/Jayne, Giles/Captain John Hart and oh so much more.
* [[Firefly|Captain Mal Reynolds]] and [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Dawn Summers]] has been seen at least twice.
Line 80:
*** There's also a fair bit of Willow/Snape.
*** Hermione/Spike.
** [[Harry Potter]]/[[Twilight (novel)|Edward Cullen]]. Probably one of the most shipped crossover couple ever.
*** And, in the same vein, Luna Lovegood/Jacob Black.
** [[Harry Potter]]/[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji Ikari]].
Line 132:
* There are numerous [[Fan Fiction]] featuring [[Ranma ½]] paired with girls from all over fiction, on top of his [[Unwanted Harem]] ([[Die for Our Ship|especially unwanted by the fans]]). The girls of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' are a common choice, [[Fuku Fic|if he is not one already]].
** He has been paired off with Brittany Diggers (Of Antarctic Press' ''Gold Digger'' comic), despite the fact she's a [[Catgirl|werecheetah]], meaning [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|he could never face her wereform without snapping]].
* And speaking of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', the ''Sailor Moon'' crossover category at Fanfiction.net is ''all about''
** Usagi tends to get paired up with a ''lot'' of characters from other series, as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4Q-_TVJ0ro this YouTube video] proves.
** There's a ''[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Urotsukidouji]]'' crossover out there with a bunch of [[Mary Sue|original male characters]]. The author avatar even sneaks in on Rei masturbating, says "Bitch! Prepare to get fucked!", [[Victim Falls For Rapist|she likes it]], and the next day [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|he's complimenting her technique in Lakota, forgetting that he's in Japan]]. My theory? The writer got an [[Good Bad Translation|online translator]].
Line 142:
** Wilbur also gets paired with [[Bolt|Penny]] in several stories...and it kind of works actually.
* There is a pairing for [[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|Gwen Tennyson]]/[[Batman|Jason Todd]]
* There's a fairly big fanclub for [[Danny Phantom|Danny]]/[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee|June]], though some find it [[Squick
** To be fair to the Danny/June fans, June is aged up from 11 to 13 for less Squick. [[American Dragon: Jake Long|Jake]]/June is also a popular alternative.
** Also, Danny/[[Teen Titans (animation)|Raven]].
Line 156:
* [[SpongeBob SquarePants|Squilliam]]/[[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]].
* [[Soul Eater|Death The Kid]] and [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Kitsu Chiri]]; their love is so symmetrical!
* In ''[[House of Mouse]],'' a throwaway panel showed [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Jafar]] and [[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Maleficent]] at the same
** If that doesn't work out, ''House Of Villains'' and ''The Kingdom Keepers'' suggest that she and [[Fantasia|Chernabog]] would be great (and dark) together.
** ''[[House of Mouse]]'' also gave us [[Hercules (Disney film)|Hades]] having a bit of a crush on Maleficent. There's also potential in Black Pete, given his servant-like relationship to her in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.
Line 169:
** Zim's plans would all be possible once he hooked up with Mandy from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]''.
** Don't forget [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]] / Zim. Or Johnny / Dib. These are quite common, actually. And [[Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl|Lenore]] / [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac|Squee]], too.
** In speaking of ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'' and ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' ...someone has paired up Bubbles and Nergal Junior...don't believe me? Check Deviantart... [http://loopyfists.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2dy6ey\] and [http://loopyfists.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2qvzmr\]
* I've seen more than one fic pairing [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Xander]] with [[The Addams Family|Wednesday Addams]].
** How does that even ''work''?
*** Quite well, through various devices. And then there's the one Harmony/Wednesday fic, which used the common conceit that Harmony is actually Amanda from the ''Addams Family'' (both were played by Mercedes McNab).
** [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Faith]] (or Buffy or Dawn) is often paired with one or more of the [[Supernatural (TV series)|Winchesters]]. Or [[Dark Angel|Alec]].
** And there's lots of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''/''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' [[Crossover]] fic out there, and a lot of it has
* [http://www.angelfire.com/creep/fiction/ Yes, there really is a fanfic series that pairs up] [[Rocky Horror Picture Show|Dr. Frank N Furter]] and [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Captain Jack Sparrow.]]
* [[Watchmen|Ozymandias]]/OscarWilde. Just try to tell me they wouldn't be perfect for each other.
Line 191:
** [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud]]/[[Final Fantasy VI|Terra]] has a following as well, as do [[Final Fantasy II|Firion]]/Terra and Firion/Cloud. Why these three? Besides Cloud's interactions with both of them, ''Dissidia'' heavily implies that Firion and Terra remind Cloud of [[Together in Death|Zack and Aerith]], and their personalities are reminiscent of them as well. It didn't take long for shippers to go from there. It helps Terra has no canon love interest.
** [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud]]/[[Final Fantasy X|Yuna]] has been popular for awhile now; a recent boom no thanks to ''[[Dead Fantasy]]''.
** On the Chaos side, there is a large following for [[Minion Shipping|pairing up]] [[Final Fantasy II|Emperor Mateus]] and [[Final Fantasy VIII|Ultimecia]] due to their alliance in-game. They even briefly form a [[Battle Couple]] in the intro to lure Terra into one of the Emperor's [[Death Trap
** Also, [[Final Fantasy V|Exdeath]]/[[Final Fantasy III|Cloud of Darkness]]. [[Cargo Ship|Three]] [[Broken Record|guesses]] [[Birds of a Feather|why]].
** The prequel, ''Duodecim'', gives us [[Final Fantasy II|Firion]]/[[Final Fantasy XIII|Lightning]] due to their mutual bonding over flowers. Comes complete with [[Ship Tease]], as ''[[Final Fantasy IV|Cecil]]'' (the only canonically married member of Team Cosmos) plays the role of Firion's [[Shipper on Deck|wingman]] and takes his embarassment over wanting to talk to Lightning as romantic interest.
Line 227:
* Some [[Touhou]] fans ship [[Touhou Project|Yuyuko]] and [[Kirby]] as a [[Theme Pairing]], because they share a [[Big Eater|common]] [[Extreme Omnivore|interest]].
** There's also a small following for [[Person of Mass Destruction|Flandre Scarlet]] and [[Dragonball Z|Bro]][[Ax Crazy|ly]].
*** Most Touhou heterosexual pairings are
* [[Image Boards|/M/]] had this idea that [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji]] and [[Gunbuster|Noriko]] would make a good couple.
* Artemis/Alex from the ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'' series and ''[[Alex Rider]]'' books have a surprisingly large fandom, considering they would probably hate each other.
Line 256:
*** Felicia also has a humorous win quote against Deadpool: "No, I don't care how much catnip you have, I'm not getting into the car with you!" How you interpret this one is up to you.
** From [[Incredible Hulk|Hulk]]'s [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment in Episode 3, Hulk/X-23.
*** This one technically isn't a crossover ship as the two exist in the same continuity. Though it is pure [[Crack Pairing|crack]], as aside from [[
** And another one for Morrigan. She apparently has a fancy for [[Wolverine]] (her quote at the win screen reads, "You have a beastly charm I just find so, so intriguing."). She also cameos in his ending as an exotic dancer trying to seduce him. Wolverine relents to her whimsy... [[Ignore the Fanservice|but not before he finishes his drink]].
** [[Street Fighter II|Chun-Li]] surprisingly has the hots for [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]].
Line 262:
** In his quote at the win screen, Viewtiful Joe finds [[She Hulk]] to be attractive. The same could be same for {{spoiler|[[Bionic Commando|Spencer]]}}, who goes on a sort-of-but-not-quite-date with her [[Hooked Up Afterwards|in his ending]].
** Morrigan's ending has her openly flirting with [[Demon Lords and Archdevils|Mephisto and Sattanish]].
** Crossover Shipping in [[Marvel vs. Capcom|this series]] [[Older Than They Think|actually happened before]] ''MvC3''. As early as ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes|Marvel vs. Capcom 1]]'' did [[X-Men|Gambit's]] ending have him flirting with none other than Morrigan (her total number of ships, excluding a few dubious examples in ''3'',
** [[Doctor Strange|Shuma-Gorath]] displays a creepy fondness for [[Darkstalkers|Hsien-Ko]], going as far as to propose to make her ''his bride''. Also, Morrigan ''herself'' shows an interest in Shuma's [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacles]].
*** Keep in mind that 95% of the examples above come from ''the game itself''. This isn't even getting into [[Fan Art]]. ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'': If it breathes, this game ''will'' ship it.
Line 333:
** [[Leeroy Jenkins|Rainbow Dash]] [[Super Speed|and]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog]].
** [[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy and]] Spiderman
** Among bronies who are also fans of Transformers, [[Big Good|Celestia/ Optimus Prime
** [[Team Fortress 2|Applejack/Engineer, Rarity/Heavy, Rarity/Spy, Pinkie/Soldier, Fluttershy/Medic, Dash/Scout]] via Youtube
** [[Ditzy Genius|Twilight Sparkle]] and [[Regular Show|Mordecai]] [http://mordetwi.deviantart.com now with fanclub]
Line 343:
* [[Bleach|Ichigo Kurosaki]]/[[Gintama|Gintoki Sakata]] has some merit, considering even their seiyuu ship-teased and co-hosted during a radio special.
* [[Bleach Movies|Kokuto]] X [[Harry Potter|Luna Lovegood]].
* [[Danny Phantom|Danny Fenton]] x [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Mami Tomoe]] in this {{
* [[Death Note|L]] x [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Stocking]] is becoming popular. [http://sweet--nothings.deviantart.com/ Here's] a [[Deviant ART]] group.
* Try [[Happy Tree Friends|Flippy]] x [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre|Leatherface]] since both are [[I Am a Humanitarian|Humanitarian]] [[Badass Normal
* [[Supernatural (TV series)|Dean Winchester]] and [[Doctor Who|the Doctor]] pops up in SuperWho quite a bit.
** Martha/Sam has a small, but devoted fandom.
