move your body when the sunlight dies

Something I have discovered about being polyfannish is that, when I am in the shower or on a bus or folding clothes or whatever it is that puts my brain on screensaver mode, I will start making up crossovers. I love clever crossovers, and clever fusions (and, I'll be honest here, I would be perfectly happy if every fandom ever had a His Dark Materials fusion where all the characters had daemons and this did interesting things to the fic plot). Most of the time I do not actually get around to writing them down, but I do like to pretend that I might.

I am not quite sure why the rest of this post is a poll, except that I am in a poll-making mood and I want to know if people know what I'm talking about.

Well the thing is, he would be a very different sort of Batman! The easiest way to give him the necessary angsty backstory and the necessary funding would be to kill Stella, but I refuse to fridge Stella, so ... I am not quite sure yet! All I know is that Ray has decided that trying to fight crime by being a detective isn't doing enough good fast enough, so he Batmans it up! Then he and Fraser have lots of discussions about morality and it is awesome. Oooor something like that.

Maybe when he was little, his best friend Bruce and his friend's parents were killed by a mugger who was never caught, and Ray Kowalski decided right then that this was never going to happen to anybody else's friend EVER. (So if he gets really protective of Fraser later? That's why.)

I LOVE THIS EXPLANATION.

Wait, does this mean Chicago = Gotham? I mean, I like it!

It does!

Also, I now wish that I knew Due South canon, because I REALLY want to do Due South/The Dresden Files. Fraser and either Ray running into a scruffy wizard detective would be incredible. And Chicago is, canonically, TOTALLY Harry Dresden's town.
