Most I find are one-shots on AO3. Tag searching 'The Wilds (TV 2020)' and filtering by 'Crossover' is your best method. 'The Wilds & Yellowjackets' tag has a growing number, playing with the shared 'girls in the wilderness gone wrong' theme. Some even cross with video games like 'The Forest' or 'The Long Dark', which adds a supernatural or extreme environmental survival twist. It's a small pool, but the ones that exist tend to be pretty character-focused, exploring how, say, Toni would interact with someone from a completely different survival hellscape.

Okay, so there's a surprisingly solid niche for 'The Wilds'/'Lost' crossovers. Think about it: both involve plane crashes, mysterious islands, and deep character backstories. I read one where a storm washes the Dawn of Eve raft to the shores of the 'Lost' island, and the groups have to navigate each other's paranoias and the existing mysteries. It works because the foundational myths are compatible.

Another angle I've seen is crossing with 'The Hunger Games'—framing the island as another Capitol arena for a new batch of tributes. It leans into the dystopian control aspect of 'The Wilds' rather than the survival. Those can get dark fast, but when done well, they really amplify the 'you're being watched and manipulated' horror that the show does so well.

I've stumbled across a few that mash 'The Wilds' up with 'Alone' or 'Naked and Afraid', but honestly, they often feel a bit forced. The tone of those pure survival shows is so different—it's all about individual grit against the elements. 'The Wilds' has that psychological layer, the social experiment, the mystery. A crossover that actually works for me is one I read where the girls from 'The Wilds' get dropped into the 'Yellowjackets' scenario. Not a show, but the novel 'The River' by Peter Heller could be an interesting vibe crossover too, focusing on that duo dynamic under pressure.

Those crossovers that just plop the Dawn of Eve girls onto another island from 'Survivor' usually miss the point for me. The appeal is the specific blend of teen drama, trauma, and conspiracy. A successful one would need to preserve that unsettling, orchestrated feeling, not just the survival skills. I'd be more interested in a crossover with something like 'The 100'—another group of teens dropped into a hostile environment by shady adults—than with a straightforward survival competition.

Which Sons of Anarchy fanfiction features crossover plots with other shows?

I was actually on a major 'Sons of Anarchy' rewatch last year and got that itch for crossover stuff. The first one I found that really worked for me was 'Anarchy in Wonderland'—a fusion with 'Once Upon a Time' where Jax ends up in Storybrooke after that final scene on the highway. Sounds bonkers, but the writer nails the tone, making the Mayans-versus-CSI stuff feel organic instead of a gimmick. Gemma trying to outmanipulate Regina is a scene I didn't know I needed. Lately I've seen more crossing with 'The Walking Dead'. That setting fits the SAMCRO survivalist mentality a little too well, honestly. The ones where they have to defend the clubhouse from a horde while dealing with internal power struggles can get repetitive, but the character studies are solid when they focus on how someone like Tara or Abraham would handle Charming's politics. I keep hoping someone will try a 'Justified' crossover. Raylan Givens and a Clay Morrow standoff writes itself, but I've only found a few decent oneshots.

What are the best the wilds fanfiction stories for tense survival?

First things first: 'the wilds' fanfiction really digs into that survival tension when the writers remember it's not just relationship drama in a jungle setting. Most stories get distracted by shipping Leah and Fatin, or Shelby and Toni, which is fine, but the ones that actually make me feel the grit under my nails are rare. I stumbled on this one called 'Sticks and Stones' ages ago—it’s unfinished, but the author nailed the paranoia of not knowing who to trust, mixed with the practical horrors of finding clean water and dealing with infections. The character voices felt raw, like they were actually scared, not just pining. Honestly, a lot of survival fics lose steam after the initial crash. They solve food and shelter too fast. The best ones stretch that initial desperate period, make every small victory feel earned and temporary. Another author, ‘marshland’, has a series that focuses heavily on Nora’s knowledge and how the group’s dynamics shift when book-smarts clash with gut instinct. It’s less about romance and more about the slow erosion of civilized behavior. I wish more writers would explore that psychological slide instead of jumping straight to established camp life and relationship milestones.

Which doom crossover fanfiction features Doomguy and Aloy bonding over post-apocalyptic survival and trust?

I stumbled upon this wild 'Horizon Zero Dawn' and 'Doom Eternal' crossover where Doomguy and Aloy team up after their worlds collide. The fic starts with Aloy finding a mysterious portal in the ruins of a Old Ones facility, leading her straight to Hell—or what’s left of it after Doomguy’s rampage. Their dynamic is gold: Aloy’s curiosity clashes with Doomguy’s silent brutality, but they slowly bond over shared scars from fighting impossible odds. The writer nails their voices—Aloy dissecting demon tech while Doomguy grunts approval. Midway, they face a hybrid Corruptor-Pinkie abomination, forcing them to combine spear tactics with BFG chaos. The trust builds when Aloy patches up his wounds using machine herbs, and he teaches her to rip and tear efficiently. The fic’s climax has them forging a temporary alliance with a rogue Slayer clone, adding layers to the trust themes. It’s short but packs a punch, with gritty survival details that make their partnership feel earned.

How does the wilds fanfiction explore character relationships under stress?

Man, what gets me about the 'The Wilds' fics is that they strip the survival element down to its bare bones to poke at the girls' established issues. Leah's obsessive tendencies don't just vanish because they're stranded; they get redirected, sometimes onto Fatin in this hyper-focused, codependent way that feels dangerous and real. I read one where Shelby's internalized homophobia and performative sweetness completely fracture, and she lashes out at Toni not out of bigotry, but out of sheer terror that Toni's unapologetic self is a mirror she can't face. It's less about 'stress bringing them together' and more about stress acting like a chemical agent, revealing the corrosion already under the paint. The best authors use the island not as a random disaster, but as a forced, inescapable therapy session where all your defense mechanisms stop working. You see Dot's caregiver burnout turn into ruthless pragmatism that alienates everyone, or Martha's trauma response shifting from dissociation to something sharper and more self-destructive. The relationships that form aren't always romantic or even friendly—sometimes it's just two people recognizing the same broken part in each other and clinging to it because it's the only familiar thing left.
