Another Non-Pony plot bunny · 3:37am Jul 31st, 2014
As if I didn't have enough unfinished stories sitting about (and I swear I will get back to my Iron Man/Game of Thrones crossover and my Justice League story... I was writing a lot of both of them right before my mom passed and I've found it hard to get motivated on them), I have another plot bunny dancing in my head. I've already written two chapters on my day off and I'll probably get a third done tomorrow. Just wanted to see what you guys thought of this strange combination:
Indiana Jones and the Abbey of Downton
Timeline: Just before the start of Series 3 and into Series 3
Synopsis: After Sibyl marries Branson and Mary becomes engaged to Matthew Crawley the family, fearing that Edith will become desperate and cling to the first bachelor she finds, convinces her to take a trip to America. They had hoped this would allow her some time to breathe so that when she returned they would be better prepared to find her a suitable match. There was no way they could have known that Edith bring back with her a fiancée… a young soon-to-be Doctor of Archeology named Henry ‘Indiana’ Jones Jr. Now two worlds collide as a newly empowered Edith and her fiancée Indy arrive at Downton, ready to throw English society off kilter… and perhaps discover some lost treasures along the way.
Pairings: Edith/Indiana, Mary/Matthew, Sibyl/Branson, Cora/Robert
The basic plot would see Edith, now more empowered by having Indy in her life, and Indiana injected into the world of Downton and how this would alter things. And this being Indiana Jones, of course he is going to begin seeking out lost treasures and dangerous artifacts.
Do you actually put legitimate thought into these ideas, defender? Or do you just take a bag of randomness and pull out a couple of things before thinking about how they could fit together?
Either way, your penchant for crossovers is among the most refined I've ever seen, so I'm positive this little bunny can evolve into a big strong hare.
Anything can be crossed over. I don't have any interest in reading that, but if it's fun to write, why not?
