A more light - hearted fanfiction could be a Christmas celebration in the Pink Palace (from Coraline). Jack Skellington decides to visit the human world during Christmas and ends up at the Pink Palace. Coraline and her friends introduce him to their version of Christmas, which is very different from what he's used to in Halloween Town. They exchange stories and have a great time together.
One idea could be a crossover where Coraline accidentally stumbles into Halloween Town from The Nightmare Before Christmas. She could be initially scared but then start to explore and make friends with some of the spooky residents like Jack Skellington. Maybe she helps Jack understand the concept of a more 'normal' world, while he shows her the wonders of his magical and strange town.
First, really understand the worlds and characters of both stories. For Coraline, focus on her curiosity and bravery. For The Nightmare Before Christmas, get into the unique and spooky atmosphere of Halloween Town. Then, come up with an interesting plot that combines the two in a believable way. It could be a simple adventure or a more complex mystery.
One idea could be exploring the backstory of Jack Skellington's first encounter with Christmas. Maybe he saw a small glimmer of it as a child - like a single Christmas ornament that fell through a portal into Halloween Town. This could have sparked his initial curiosity long before the events of the movie.
