The result is often a [[Trapped in Another World]] story, in which both casts may find themselves working to return the visitor to their own world/timeline/universe and get their missing
Very often played for laughs when the characters involved have radically different personalities.
The trope name comes from an [[
[[Sub-Trope]] of [[Fusion Fic]]. Often, but not always, a subtrope of [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] or [[Trapped in Another World]]
Compare [[Transplanted Character Fic]] and [[Freaky Friday Flip]].
Not to be confused with a [[Doppelganger Crossover]].

==
* The page quote refers to an actual fic entitled ''[http://rkwong.tripod.com/korranma.txt A.K.A. Akane-Chan?]'', written in 1993 by Jeff Yang, which may be the [[Ur Example]] of the trope. In it, Akane Kasuga and Akane Tendo swap minds (and worlds), and the [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|lesbian]] Kasuga gets a crush on female!Ranma, without knowing anything about his intergender condition.
* Gregg Landsman's ''[[Nobody Dies]]'' includes an extended sequence where the canon versions of Asuka and Shinji change places for several chapters with their counterparts from the world of the fanfic.
* [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in Mithril Moth's ''[http://www.mythrilmoth.net/fitw/fitw.html Fire in the Water
* ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4926966/1/In-the-Hands-of-a-Real-Hero In the Hands of a Real Hero]'' by A. Amishi tells the ([[Dead Fic|incomplete]]) story of what happens when a freak accident exchanges Kazuki Yotsuga and Zinv (from ''[[Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure]]'') with Shinji Ikari and Evangelion Unit 01 (from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'').
* Another ''Evangelion'' example -- ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6692889/1/Castling Castling]'' by Andew J. Talon explores what happens when canon Shinji trades places with a confident, well-adjusted Shinji from another timeline while fighting Leliel.
* The ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fic ''[https://www.fanfics.dev/1998-05/messages/19980503-%5bFFML%5d%20Goddess%20of%20My%20Harmful%20Deeds-806.html Goddess of My Harmful Deeds]'' by [[Richard Lawson]] offers a chance for both recovery and redemption to the Akane of the infamous ''[[The Bitter End]]'' by James "Zen" Bateman via the device of a brief exchange of minds between her and the Akane native to Lawson's ''[[Thy Inward Love]]'' series.
* Towards the end of the epic ''[[Ranma ½]]''-centric [[Mega Crossover]] ''[[A Tale of Two Wallets]]'' by Jim Bader, [[Ah! My Goddess|Peorth]] arranges a timeline comparison between the [[Alternate Universe]] of the story (in which Nabiki is happily engaged to both Ranma and Shampoo) and a scratch copy of the canon ''Ranma ½'' timeline, to fine-tune the destiny of the former. Unfortunately, their Nabikis get swapped in the process, leaving the canon moneygrubber in a universe where her counterpart has given such behavior up and has two devoted lovers (among many other changes), and said counterpart finds herself in a universe where Ranma distrusts her (and Shampoo), and is engaged to Akane.
* In Dogbertcarroll's ''Lex Marks The Spot'', a [[DC Comics]]/''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' crossover, Xander Harris and Lex Luther get mindswitched into each other's body, across universes. Xander decides to use Lex's resources to do good while acting like an eccentric supervillain, just to troll the Justice League. Meanwhile, Luthor is consuming everything he can find about Superman and discovering just how close to [[Stupid Evil]] he's been for years.
