The Crossover We Deserve

writerkitI saw someone making a comment about how Jonathan Sims would have done dropped into Jonathan Harker's place and OH SOMEONE PLEASE write this fic. Or Trevor and Julia encountering Dracula in England. Or Harker coming to the Institute to make a statement. Adelard Dekker meeting Van Helsing.
There are SO MANY CROSSOVER POSSIBILITIES HERE. AO3 has NONE OF THEM. I'm hoping Dracula Daily results in more Dracula fic. But seriously, I want this crossover!
Yes, I know, you have to timeshift one of the two to make it work. Someone write this fic anyway.
("But Kit," you say, "are you not a writer? Should you not set the example?" "Yes, I am!" I reply. "But I am in the middle of writing an epically long fic for which I wrote a 20,000-word outline in the span of approximately three days before any of this happened and I am also writing original work to submission deadlines. Thus I do not have time to do this thing just now!")
Also there are a lot of people saying that Dracula's obsession with England marks him out as a proto-SuperWhoLock, and I do not know enough about SuperWhoLock to write that one, but I would totally read "Dracula gets into fandom." Or "Dracula crosses over with Doctor Who or Sherlock." (I was never a Supernatural fan.)
What might I eventually write? The "except where the doors are locked" Dracula/Bluebeard crossover. Mainly because I've been trying and failing to write Bluebeard stories for years.
(Yes, I am going to be posting a lot about Dracula for a bit. Almost I am tempted to get a Tumblr so I can participate in the squeeful memery, but there are reasons many and good that I am not there. Dreamwidth, alas, does not appear to have a community for this.)
(There are also a lot of people suggesting what book we should do next, after Dracula. And someone suggested Dangerous Liaisons. I am SO THERE for other people joining me in fervent Dangerous Liaisons fandom. SO THERE.)
