Some fanfictions might focus on a crossover of villains. Moriarty could team up with a Star Trek baddie like the Borg. Sherlock and the Star Trek crew would then have to work together to stop this unlikely and dangerous alliance. This would bring a whole new level of conflict and require both Sherlock's street - smart detective skills and the Star Trek team's scientific and strategic knowledge.
For a Sherlock and Star Trek crossover fanfiction to work well, it needs to respect the core elements of both universes. In the case of Sherlock, his brilliant deductive reasoning and complex personality must be maintained. For Star Trek, the futuristic technology and diverse alien cultures should be accurately represented. The plot should find a logical connection between the two worlds. For example, a time - travel or interdimensional rift could be used to bring the characters together.
A lesser - known but very interesting 'Star Trek 2009 Crossover Fanfiction' is 'Star Trek 2009 Meets Firefly'. This one is special because it combines the high - tech future of Star Trek with the scrappy, Western - influenced world of Firefly. The contrast between the two settings makes for a very unique reading experience, and the author does a great job of creating a story that respects both source materials.
In a crossover, the Borg from Star Trek could encounter Skynet. The Borg might see Skynet as a potential source of technology to assimilate. However, Skynet would likely resist assimilation and fight back. This could create a three - way conflict if the humans in the Star Trek universe also see Skynet as a threat and try to take advantage of the Borg - Skynet battle to destroy both.
The cultures in both universes are also ripe for exploration in the crossover. The Federation's values of equality and cooperation in Star Trek contrast with the more hierarchical and often morally ambiguous cultures in Star Wars. A story could focus on how characters from each side learn from or clash with the other's cultural norms.
Perhaps a plot where Moriarty, Sherlock's nemesis, has somehow made his way into the Star Trek universe and is causing chaos. Sherlock teams up with the Star Trek characters, like Kirk and Spock, to outwit Moriarty. The contrast between Moriarty's devious mind and the more logical and ethical Star Trek characters would create a great dynamic, and Sherlock would be in the middle trying to stop Moriarty's evil plans.
Another option is to check out some Star Trek or Sherlock - themed forums. Fans often share their own fanfiction creations or recommend good ones they've read. You can engage with the community, ask for recommendations, and get involved in discussions about these crossovers.
I really like 'TNG and Stargate SG - 1: The Unexpected Encounter'. In this fanfiction, the crew of the Enterprise - D from Star Trek TNG stumbles upon the Stargate. It's a fascinating read as it explores how the two different technologies and cultures would interact. There are some really cool moments where Picard has to negotiate with the Goa'uld, and Data tries to understand the Ancient technology.
One great 'Star Trek DS9 Crossover Fanfiction' is 'DS9 and the Enterprise Crew'. It combines the unique characters from DS9 with the more well - known Enterprise crew in an exciting adventure. The author does a great job of keeping the personalities of all the characters intact while creating a new and engaging story.
One common theme is the exploration of different timelines. Since Star Trek has multiple timelines, crossovers often play with how the Enterprise crew would interact with those from other timelines. Another theme is the sharing of technology. For example, how the tech from the Enterprise could be combined or compared with that of other Trek entities in the crossover.
