Another interesting idea is a mind - control situation. A powerful telepath takes control of some of the heroes and villains in their respective cities. Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl have to find a way to break the mind - control. They start by finding the source of the telepath's power. Along the way, they discover that the telepath has a tragic past that led to this misuse of power. They try to reason with the telepath while also fighting off the controlled allies and villains.
One great storyline could be a villain that is causing chaos in both Arrow's Star City and Supergirl's National City. The two heroes team up, with Arrow using his combat skills and Supergirl using her superpowers to take on the baddie. They might initially have some differences in their approaches, but over time, they learn from each other and form a strong bond.
Another theme is the exploration of different universes. Sometimes the fanfictions will send the characters into alternate realities where they have to adapt and find their way back. This allows for a lot of creativity in terms of world - building and character development. Also, friendship is often a key theme. These heroes come from different shows but in the crossovers, they form strong bonds and support each other through tough situations.
Another great storyline could involve a cross - dimensional rift that brings characters from Arrow's world into Supergirl's and vice versa. This would create a lot of chaos as the characters have to adapt to the different rules and environments. For example, Oliver might struggle with the presence of aliens in Supergirl's world, while Kara has to deal with the more gritty and crime - ridden Star City. It could also lead to some interesting character pair - ups and new friendships or rivalries.
One great storyline could be them teaming up to fight a common enemy like a powerful meta - human who is causing chaos in both of their cities. They could start off not trusting each other fully due to their different methods but then grow to respect one another as they see the value in each other's skills.
One idea could be that a powerful villain from another dimension is trying to take over all three of their cities simultaneously. The Supergirl, Flash and Arrow have to team up, each using their unique abilities. Supergirl could use her super strength to take on the villain head - on, Flash could use his speed to disrupt the villain's plans and steal important items, and Arrow could use his archery skills to set up traps and distractions.
One popular storyline is crossovers where Flash and Arrow characters team up against a common enemy. For example, they might join forces to stop a powerful meta - human or a crime syndicate that's causing chaos in both Star City and Central City. Another common plot is character development arcs. Fans often write about how a character like Oliver Queen might learn new skills or overcome personal traumas in a different way than in the original series. There are also many love - triangle - based fanfictions, such as a love triangle between Barry Allen, Felicity Smoak and Oliver Queen, which adds an interesting romantic dynamic to the existing superhero relationships.
A plot twist could be that a character from one of the shows, who seems to be a minor or unassuming figure, is actually a powerful being from the future sent to manipulate the events of the crossover. This person has been subtly guiding the actions of the heroes, and when the truth is revealed, it completely changes the heroes' perception of the events they've been through and who they can trust.
One popular storyline is when Flash and Supergirl team up to fight a common enemy from another dimension. This allows for a lot of action and showcases their different powers working together.
Perhaps a fanfiction where Supergirl arrives in Smallville during a time when Clark is struggling with his identity. She could be a source of inspiration for him, showing him the full potential of his powers. They could also have a friendly competition to see who can save more people in Smallville, which would be a fun and exciting plot.
There's also 'Crossover Chaos'. In this fanfiction, the Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl find themselves in an alternate universe where they have to figure out how to get back home while dealing with a threat that is unique to that universe. It's full of action and interesting character interactions.
