Is there a general term for the sort of thing represented by "Teninch" fic, where people put together random characters played by Billie Piper and David Tennant other than Rose and the Doctor? I have been browsing Hitchhiker's Guide fic for a couple of days and have run across both Sherlock and Khan in fics which I therefore assume have Martin Freeman's Arthur Dent in mind, since they have both been played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

(not sure what other tags might apply)

So, less 'Stephen Strange meets Sherlock Holmes/ dates Molly Hooper/why is there Hannigram in my DS fic tag?', more 'Everstrange, which is a pairing for some ungodly reason'. And while I know this happens in other places (there's an extended Mads Mikkelsen/Hugh Dancy vortex that spans everything they ever breathed on, including marvel, for example), I cannot help but notice that BC keeps turning up in these discussions.

(Benedict Cumberbatch plays both Sherlock (BBC Sherlock) and Stephen Strange (mcu); Martin Freeman plays both John (BBC Sherlock) and General Ross (mcu), ergo Stephen Strange and Everett Ross are now A Thing despite never having met each other on screen and also probably being antagonistic in motivation.) (The Extended Hannigram Vortex is possibly the one case that's worse than Johnlock Meta Soulmating, since both Mad Mikkelsens and Hugh Dancy's filmografies are All Over The Place eclectic as hell, which is how you get fics about an evil wizard from the MCU dating the murderous cult-leader from the Amazon Drama The Path because a cannibal serial killer and an FBI profiler couldn't stop being gay at each other in 2015) (I fucking love fandom)

Everett Ross is in the CIA as is/was Sharon Carter (since I can't say she still is after getting Steve and Sam their gear back) while General Thunderbolt Ross was/is Army and played most recently by William Hurt. (Which means we could have some sort of crossover between Sneakers and Children of a Lesser God, or any other two movies.)

Though, Smaug and Gollum having a caper hinging on a degrees of separation would be quacktacular. (Since Freeman and Gollum's actor were the Tolkien white guys in Black Panther, and BC played Smaug as well as Sherlock Holmes.)

Is there a Comedy of Errors that's Science Fiction Fan-nip? (CF the Hamlet where Patrick Stewart, Lala Ward, Glitz's actor and probably many more are studded in the BBC production.)

Now I want Sam Carter & Sharon Carter fic. Or, Sam Carter and Sam Wilson. Chris Evans and Amanda Tapping could do a project together.
