In the tag for the Tumblr-spawned fan-comic Hobbes & Bacon, I discovered three or four crossovers featuring Calvin's daughter and her inherited tiger. I use that number because two of them are components of a larger series.

Chronologically first is Getting to Know You, from 2013, in which the other component is Despicable Me.

Two unusual girls end up sharing a dorm room at college.

Another version of Edith enters another version of Bacon's life earlier in the following year's playgroup, along with Gracie Boo and Lilo Pelekai.

Then, in 2017, came Fire and Wonder, a mega- or at least maxi-crossover in which the meeting of Dipper Pines and ParaNorman Babcock leads to a team-up, a relationship, and a very different Weirdmageddon than Gravity Falls alone saw. Bacon is another of the Pines twins' allies (along with Hobbes, but without Mr. Bun), and she and Norman are also joined by

Coraline Jones, Hiro Hamada, Danny Fenton, Arthur Kingsmen, Matilda Wormwood, and Chihiro Ogino.

Just in case you thought I was kidding about how many levels of crossover appending_fic is on.

Heh. That's because he's been writing it for months over on the Caer Azkaban board. But yes, an excellent fic -- and in the process of exploring that minor character it also redeems another character usually written off as unredeemable.

needless to say, this one is on the silly side.

EDIT: the author of Pizzeria Tycoon (above) later on made a second thread with an alternate take on the story starting after chapter 24.

EDIT 2: the secondary thread is not complete and never will be as the author has passed away ;(

So, I just (re)read a fic I had stashed on my Kindle which it appears I found thanks to Stephan Sokolow's Blog , and (re)discovered that it was a) very good and b) complete. So I figured I'd give it a mention here:

Being Harry Potter by Kirinin.

Early in sixth year, Draco Malfoy awakens in Harry Potter's bed, in Harry Potter's body, and has no idea how or why this came to be. And as far as he can tell, the Draco in Slytherin isn't Potter, but is still Draco. A very different kind of bodyswap story.

[classicdrogn]

Being Harry Potter by Kirinin.

Is the switch at some point explained? I'm not asking what the explanation is mind you, though presumably "It's magic!" at the widest level, just if there is some reasonably plausible explanation of how and why.

[Bob Schroeck]

Yes. It's even framed within the existing magic system, nothing new or "ancient, forgotten" used.

Shadows: The Horror Movie Heroes (My Hero Academia, 40 chapters, 71K words).

Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.

So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.

The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’

Middle school students Izuku and Hitoshi meet, seriously train to become underground heroes, and test their progress by volunteering to play minor villains in a week long UA exercise for second year hero students. The traumatized UA students wind up needing therapy.

Elbowsnapper's Just Deserts was originally posted to Spacebattles, but the Royal Road version has been revised and edited. It's a My Hero Academia OC fic, a little grittier than canon but what can you expect when MC is pretty much a rerolled (Marvel) Sandman?

It's complete in the sense that the MC's story arc has been told, though only the first school year's worth of BnHA canon is addressed. It ends like a novel that's open for a sequel, in other words, but is not unsatisyfing. No knowledge of BnHA is required, and indeed it would probably be more gripping without the spoilers as MC-kun investigates and discovers some of the secrets of the world, which is a thing I say very rarely indeed, as the mystery genre is one I particularly despise, only exceed by zombie apocalypse survival horror. Take this then as a strong recommendation to have surpassed that bias and earned the attention.

Royal Road makes it hard to get a word count, but lists it as being a thousand "pages" for whatever that's worth. Nominally twelve chapters, but some are split into multiple parts.
