A '''Dariaverse crossover''' is exactly what it sounds like: a fanfic in which ''Daria'' is [[crossover|crossed over]] with ''Daria''. Characters from one [[Dariaverse]] (usually very close to canon) somehow make their way into another Dariaverse (almost always an [[alternate universe|alternate]] version of the canon setup), and chaos typically results. The earliest known Dariaverse crossover was "[[Through a Closet Darkly]]," by [[Brian Taylor]], from 2001. A later story was "[[You Only Hurt the Ones You Love]]," by [[Crusading Saint]].
The idea has grown to include characters from one author's Dariaverse going into one or more other authors' Dariaverses. The 2005 story "[[Illusions]]," by [[CharlieGirl]], [[Angelinhel]], and [[The Angst Guy]], presented the idea that an ancient alien race called the [[Architects]] had invented a large number of inter-universal gateways using their godlike technology, and one such gateway found its way into the back of the [[Good Time Chinese restaurant]] in [[Lawndale]], where characters used it to explore other realities. This idea was seized upon in later stories: "[[Three]]," by [[Richard Lobinske]]; "[[Second Chances]]" and "[[End of the Line]]," by [[Lycissa]]; and "[[Guys' Night Out]]," by [[TAG]].
