That's right, apparently Jason Voorhees coexists in the same world as the Autobots and Decepticons of Cybertron.

* Many of Creator/TakumaYokota's solo works exist in the same setting. It starts with ''Koganeiro'' which was a short three chapter story, then is followed by ''Manga/StraightenUpWelcomeToShikaHighsCompetitiveDanceClub'' where two of the main characters from Koganeiro, Michiru and Tatsuya who are now adults and married, serve as major supporting characters. Occuring roughly around the same time is ''Shudan'' about a youth soccer team coached by Tatsuya. His current series, ''Manga/StoryOfADumbPrefectAndHighSchoolGirlWithInappropriateSkirtLength'', is eventually confirmed as being part of the same universe when a couple of characters from ''Straighten Up!'' show up in a cameo, although unlike the previous three series this one takes place in Tokyo instead of Hamamatsu.

** And coming from one of the authors of the Lunaverse is Fanfic/TheCadanceverse, another SharedUniverse, where ''both'' Celestia and Luna went insane and had to be sealed by Cadance, and the Elements of Harmony end up going to five minor and background characters [[AndZoidberg and Fluttershy]][[note]]Although she isn't assigned the Element she has in the Maneverse (canon universe)[[/note]].

There is a very strong sense of continuity and interaction, with all the blogs commenting on each other's shenanigans. It even deals with Tumblr as a whole by referring to it as the multiverse, interacting with out of verse blogs as though they were alien visitors....
* In ''Fanfic/TheElementsOfHarmonyAndTheSaviorOfWorlds'', events in the original Franchise/MyLittlePony cartoon happened in the ancient past of ''Friendship is Magic''. It also shares the same universe as the other 80s Hasbro cartoons: ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983'', called the Hasbroverse. It also includes Series/DoctorWho.
* ''Fanfic/LifeInManehattan'' is, like the Lunaverse and the Cadanceverse above, a SharedUniverse of MLP fics set in an AlternateUniverse, one where the events of the pilot episodes took place in Manehattan rather than Ponyville. As such, Twilight instead ends up befriending and having adventures with several secondary, minor, and background characters.

Somewhat notable amongst FanFic 'verses for having multiple authors and contradictory accounts.
* ''Fanfic/TheMansionverse'' welded several unrelated fancomics of ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'' together with some official media, ending up with something entirely original.
* The ''Fanfic/OneiroiSeries'' and its various branching realities.
* The [[Fanfic/DumbledoresArmyAndTheYearOfDarkness DAYDverse]] based on an alternate-POV telling of ''[[Franchise/HarryPotter Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows]]''.
* All of the ''Series/DoctorWho'' fics on Webcomic/RichsComixBlog, including ''Webcomic/The10Doctors'',
Creator/DarkMark's ''DC Universe'' fanfics are all self-contained within their own universe. This fan-verse [[AuthorAppeal also includes]] ''Series/ForeverKnight'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' via crossovers.
* There is the ''Webcomic/{{Buildingverse}}'' shared mainly by the MegaCrossover [[{{Fanfic}} fan]][[{{Webcomic}} comic]] ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' and its largest and most popular SpinOff ''Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor'' by two separate authors (some canon differences suggest AlternateContinuity though), which also seem to encompass by the definition of most fans (and ApprovalOfGod) the whole ExpandedUniverse around them consisting of other {{Spin Off}}s like ''Webcomic/DownTheStreet'' and [[http://roomatesfans.deviantart.com/ many more]].
* ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse'' is a SharedUniverse of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fics set in an AlternateUniverse where Celestia, rather than Luna, went crazy and had to be [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]], and the Elements of Harmony end up going to six minor and background characters.
** And coming from one of the authors of the Lunaverse is Fanfic/TheCadanceverse, another SharedUniverse, where ''both'' Celestia and Luna went insane and had to be sealed by Cadance, and the Elements of Harmony end up going to five minor and background characters [[AndZoidberg and Fluttershy]][[note]]Although she isn't assigned the Element she has in the Maneverse (canon universe)[[/note]].
* [=TheDrunkenWerewolf=]'s ''Fanfic/{{Heirverse}}'' Has been in progress for almost ten years and spans four chapter fics plus a dozen side stories and counting.
* Trinary's [[Fanfic/RainboomsAndRoyalty Dashverse]] is likewise a series [=MLP:FiM=] stories set in a universe where instead of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash became Celestia's student.
* ''Fanfic/SchoolDaze'' is in the same universe as ''Choices'', ''The Three Whooves'', ''A Nightmare in Ponyville'', and ''Doctor Whooves and the House of Daring''.
* Ponky's [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/33907/the-sisters-doo The Sisters Doo]] is in the same universe as [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/57796/through-the-lookingglass-and-what-pinkie-found-there Through The Looking Glass, And What Pinkie Found There]]. Also, come 2015, he's going to add a TSD sequel to that verse, as well as a story starring Dinky.
* The Blog/ReadingRainbowverse is a series of independently maintained blogs
interconnected. They are set in the same verse as Blog/RainbowDashReadsHomestuck. There is a very strong sense of continuity and interaction, or in different parallel Earths, whose characters occasionally interact with all the blogs commenting on each other's shenanigans. It even deals with Tumblr as a whole by referring to it as the multiverse, interacting with out of verse blogs as though they were alien visitors....
* In ''Fanfic/TheElementsOfHarmonyAndTheSaviorOfWorlds'', events in the original Franchise/MyLittlePony cartoon happened in the ancient past of ''Friendship is Magic''. It also shares the same universe as the other 80s Hasbro cartoons: ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983'', called the Hasbroverse. It also includes Series/DoctorWho.
* ''Fanfic/LifeInManehattan'' is, like the Lunaverse and the Cadanceverse above, a SharedUniverse of MLP fics set in an AlternateUniverse, one where
other. Thus, the events of ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'' gave birth to the pilot episodes took place universes explored in Manehattan rather than Ponyville. As such, Twilight instead ends up befriending ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'' and having adventures with several secondary, minor, ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', whose [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} main]] [[ComicBook/PowerGirl characters]] have worked together sometimes, and background characters.''Fanfic/SupermanOf2499TheGreatConfrontation is set five hundred years after ''Hellsister Trilogy''.



* ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'' is set in one of these, called the Reactsverse, sharing a world with other oneshots by the author and a sister fic, ''The Diary of Glynda Goodwitch''. It also shares a ''multiverse'' with ''Lucina Reacts'' by the same author, focusing on ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''.

* The ''Fanfic/BloomingMoonChronicles'', by Black.Rose.Raven, an MLP fanfiction series that draws heavy inspiration from Norse Mythology. Along with its sequel series, ''Songs Of Lost Children'', it contains 15 books and at least a dozen side-stories, mostly written by Black.Rose.Raven himself.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' by Crossoverpairinglover started as a ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]'' AU fic that has expanded into a growing shared universe centered by the titular fic with numerous one shot spin offs and side stories.
* ''Fanfic/BoltFromTheBlue'' shares many ideas and characters with ''Fanfic/BlackSky'' but is explicitely a ''multiverse'' fic. It helps that ''Manga/Reborn2004'' canonically uses multiples universes.
* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' is the first story in a [[WorldBuilding vast universe]] which so far consists of that first completed book, an ongoing second one, and two shorter side-stories. According to the author, there's plenty more to come.

Most Creator/JacquesDemy films are interconnected. In ''Film/ModelShop'' (1969), Lola's story of being a nightclub singer in France and meeting an American sailor is the ''Film/{{Scream}}'' series.
* [[WordOfGod According to]] Creator/MichaelBay, it's implied that
plot of 1961 film ''Film/{{Lola}}''; Anouk Aimee plays the [[Film/FridayThe13th2009 2009]] [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] character of ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' and Lola in both movies. She says her husband left her for a lady gambler named Jackie Lemaistre; the 2007 ''[[Film/TransFormers Transformers]]'' character of Jackie Lemaistre is the protagonist of 1962 Demy film ''Film/BayOfAngels''. ''Film/{{Lola}}'' also features as Lola's boyfriend a character named Roland played by Marc Michel; Michel plays the same character in 1964 Demy film ''Film/TheUmbrellasOfCherbourg''.

* Most Creator/JacquesDemy films are interconnected. In ''Film/ModelShop'' (1969), Lola's story of being a nightclub singer in France and meeting an American sailor is the plot of 1961 film ''Film/{{Lola}}''; Anouk Aimee plays the character of Lola in both movies. She says her husband left her for a lady gambler named Jackie Lemaistre; the character of Jackie Lemaistre is the protagonist of 1962 Demy film ''Film/BayOfAngels''. ''Film/{{Lola}}'' also features as Lola's boyfriend a character named Roland played by Marc Michel; Michel plays the same character in 1964 Demy film ''Film/TheUmbrellasOfCherbourg''.

* The "Wizarding World" as is called is the universe that encompasses the cinematic world of the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' series, the planned prequel pentalogy of ''Film/FantasticBeasts'' and the sequel play ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild''.
* ''Film/CantHardlyWait'' and ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'' (2001) are possibly set in the same universe as "Huntington High School" is mentioned in both movies.
* Maybe downplayed, but Creator/ToddPhillips' ''[[Film/TheHangover The Hangover Trilogy]]'' and his 2003 comedy ''Film/OldSchool'' might be in the same world as the Dan Band cameo in both ''Old School'' and the first ''Hangover'' movie.
* The 1991 thriller ''Film/{{Ricochet}}'' is in the universe of the ''Franchise/DieHard'' franchise mainly with anchor Gail Wallens (Mary Ellen Trainor) making a character overlap. John Amos, from ''Film/DieHard2'', also stars but plays a different character.



* [[WordOfGod According to]] Creator/MichaelBay, it's implied that the [[Film/FridayThe13th2009 2009]] [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] of ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' and the 2007 ''[[Film/TransFormers Transformers]]'' movie (and thus the ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' altogther), all of which he produced, are actually set in the same universe since JerkJock Trent [=DeMarco=], a character played by actor Travis Van Winkle, makes a CharacterOverlap in both films. That's right, apparently Jason Voorhees coexists in the same world as the Autobots and Decepticons of Cybertron.

* Over the years, Creator/QuentinTarantino's movies have developed into ''two'' relatively coherent 'Verses - the first being the main "Tarantino-verse" [[spoiler: which turns out to be an AlternateHistory where the Bastards killed Hitler in '44]] and the second the [[ShowWithinAShow films within that verse]]. It also seems be linked to his friend Creator/RobertRodriguez' world too, and include some of his favorite older movies.
** Vincent Vega and Mr. Blonde (Vic Vega) from ''Film/PulpFiction'' and ''Film/ReservoirDogs'', respectively, are supposed to be brothers.
** Big Kahuna Burger, a fictional fast food chain has been seen in ''Film/PulpFiction'' and ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn''. Apple Cigarettes has also appeared in many of his films such as the ''Film/KillBill'' series. Sheriff Earl [=McGraw=], from ''Kill Bill Vol. 1'' also appears in Tarantino's ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'' segment ''Film/DeathProof''.
** ''Film/IngloriousBasterds'' shows it's ultimately an AlternateHistory off-shoot of ours considering that [[ArtisticLicense several liberties]] with history were taken in one notable scene.
** The 1998 crime film ''Film/OutOfSight'', starring Creator/GeorgeClooney and Music/JenniferLopez, is implied to be part of it as well as Creator/MichaelKeaton's character, Ray Nicolette from ''Film/JackieBrown'' makes a CharacterOverlap.
*** ''Out Of Sight'' and ''Jackie Brown'' are both Elmore Leonard adaptations, hence sharing a character. That does not mean they share the same universe with anything not adapted from Leonard's work.
** WordOfGod has it that Film/{{Shaft}} is apparently a descendant of Django and Broomhilda '''von Shaft''' from ''Film/DjangoUnchained''.
* As for Creator/RobertRodriguez, Machete Cortez, played by Danny Trejo, appears in both the fun family-friendly ''Film/SpyKids'' movies and the super-violent, 18-rated ''Film/{{Machete}}'' duo.

!!'''By Title:'''
* ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'', ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'', and ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'' according to Fox are all in the same universe. This includes all the movies, comics, books, and video games. Except for ''Film/{{Prometheus}}''. Creator/RidleyScott deliberately ignored the events of the ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'' films because [[WriterRevolt he hated them so much]].
** It's also worth noting that ''Predator'' and ''Alien'' were never meant to be in the same universe, ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'' was mainly created as a cash-in on two popular franchises.
** But it's worth mentioning that the whole idea of fusing these two franchises was born due to an EasterEgg at the ending of ''Film/Predator2'', where you could see the Predator's [[TrophyRoom wall of fame]] on their ship, with various skulls, including (what seems to be) a xenomorph's.
*** Some commentators have pointed out that the skull looks like a xenomorph but could be of any other alien, in reality wasn't confirm until much later.
** And long before the movies, the crossover was done by Creator/DarkHorseComics making this a case of OlderThanYouThink.
** And as the Weyland Yutani company exists in both the ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' videogame and the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' and ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' TV shows (see the Live Action Television section) made of that what you will. An interesting fact is that an episode of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' has a (deliberately) very similar looking species (but benevolent) to the Predator aliens named the [[http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Kradin Kradin]].
* ''Film/BartonFink'' and ''Film/HailCaesar'' are connected through featuring the same fictional studio, Capitol Pictures.
* ''Film/CantHardlyWait'' and ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'' (2001) are possibly set in the same universe as "Huntington High School" is mentioned in both movies.
* ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' movies and the crime-thriller ''Film/BetterLuckTomorrow'' may share a universe as BadassNormal Han (Sung Kang) appears in both franchises.
* Maybe downplayed, but Creator/ToddPhillips' ''[[Film/TheHangover The Hangover Trilogy]]'' and his 2003 comedy ''Film/OldSchool'' might be in the same world as the Dan Band cameo in both ''Old School'' and the first ''Hangover'' movie.



* The "Wizarding World" as is called is the universe that encompasses the cinematic world of the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' series, the planned prequel pentalogy of ''Film/FantasticBeasts'' and the sequel play ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild''.
* The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. Since the release of ''Film/IronMan1'' in 2008, the MCU has been steadily expanding into one of the biggest media franchises of all-time with multiple films, TV shows, web mini-series and counting; loads of tie-in material and [[TheMerch merch]] like nobody's business... and it shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down. Moreover, it basically codified the idea that movies with ''wildly'' varying tones could not only share a universe, but have characters regularly crossing over and meeting each other.



* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet and Franchise/FridayThe13th'' have been in one universe starting with ''Film/FreddyVsJason''. ''Franchise/EvilDead'' will be too if you consider the comic ''ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh'' canonical.
** Plans for a third movie featuring Pinehead from the ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'' franchise were in place during production as they all belong to the same company at the time and even were talks about adding a small cameo of Pinehead in a post-credit scene ([[spoiler:although it was later replaced by Jason holding Fredy's head as they both came out of the water]]).
* The 1991 thriller ''Film/{{Ricochet}}'' is in the universe of the ''Franchise/DieHard'' franchise mainly with anchor Gail Wallens (Mary Ellen Trainor) making a character overlap. John Amos, from ''Film/DieHard2'', also stars but plays a different character.
* The Duke Brothers (Creator/DonAmeche and Creator/RalphBellamy) from ''Film/TradingPlaces'' make an overlap cameo in ''Film/ComingToAmerica'' in one funny scene. Both movies starred Creator/EddieMurphy and were directed by Creator/JohnLandis.
* The ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' have gone beyond just having Professor X and Co. save the day to ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} getting his own set of movies; ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} in his own stand-alone, [[BreakTheFourthWall fourth wall-breaking]] adventures (...sort of) featuring the ComicBook/XForce; along with the ComicBook/NewMutants getting a {{Spin Off}}.
** Both ''Series/TheGifted2017'' and ''Series/Legion2017'', while referencing events of the above universe, each are supposedly set in [[AlternateContinuity stand-alone continuities of their own]].
* Film/TheViewAskewniverse consists of everything Creator/KevinSmith made that featured [[ThoseTwoGuys Jay and Silent Bob]]. It includes ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', ''Film/MallRats'', ''Film/ChasingAmy'', ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'', ''Film/ClerksII'', ''Film/JayAndSilentBobReboot'' and ''Film/ClerksIII''. Plus a bunch of tie-in comics.
** Based on their cameo in ''Film/Scream3'', it may also include the films of the ''Film/{{Scream}}'' series.



* Creator/IsaacAsimov's [[Literature/RobotSeries Robot stories]] form a rough timeline of events. [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture Some time soon]], there will be [[JobStealingRobot robots for every type of job]], and [[MasterComputer supercomputers networked around the world]]. Most of the short stories take place between now and then. At some point in TheFuture, a schism occurs between those who like the robots and those who hate the robots. Those who like robots use their labour to colonize new worlds (calling themselves Spacers), leaving Earth to the robot-haters, who start to outlaw robots with human-level AI (calling themselves Earthers). This is when the Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw stories take place. According to ''Literature/RobotsAndEmpire'', Bailey has inspired Earth's interest in space colonization, which will eventually become a single GalacticSuperpower, which [[CanonWelding bridges this series into]] the ''Empire'' and ''Foundation'' stories.

* ABC Soaps ''Series/AllMyChildren'', ''Series/OneLifeToLive'', and ''Series/GeneralHospital'', as well as the cancelled ''Series/PortCharles'', have one universe complete with [[CanonImmigrant canon immigrants]] and {{crossover}} storylines.
* ABC also did this with their mid-90s sitcoms, courtesy of a Las Vegas-set CrossOver linking ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'', ''Series/{{Coach}}'', ''Series/{{Ellen}}'', and ''Series/GraceUnderFire''.
* Originally, it was believed that each season of Series/AmericanHorrorStory was its own 'verse, but season four confirmed that they are not.
* The ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' 'verse (series and movie ''Film/{{Serenity}}''). (Notable for the fact that the characters refer to their own universe as "the 'Verse"). The terms "Jossverse", "Whedonverse" and "ME-verse" (ME = Creator/MutantEnemy, Creator/JossWhedon's production company) have been used to refer to both this and the Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}; while there is no connection between the two in canon, it's a CommonCrossover for fans due to the similar styles of both.

** Eventually it becomes a snowball effect. One doctor from ''Series/StElsewhere'' showed up years later on ''Homicide'', and then another doctor from ''St. Elsewhere'' showed up in the ''Homicide'' movie. Carla, Norm, and Cliff from ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' appeared on an episode of ''St. Elsewhere''. Frasier and Lilith from ''Cheers'' and ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' also appeared on ''Series/{{Wings}}''.
** ''Series/ChicagoPD'' and ''Series/ChicagoFire'' are also now included in this universe, with two separate three-part crossovers with ''SVU''. This by itself constitutes its own 'verse, with new additions ''Series/ChicagoMed'' and ''Series/ChicagoJustice''.
** [[Characters/ChicagoPD Hailey Upton's]] appearance on ''Series/{{FBI}}'' established that ''Series/{{FBI}}'', ''Series/FBIMostWanted'', and ''Series/FBIInternational'' exist in the ''Series/OneChicago'' universe, and by extension the ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' universe.
* ''Series/StElsewhere'': The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Westphall#The_Tommy_Westphall_Universe_Hypothesis Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis]] looks at all of the shows that ''St. Elsewhere'' had crossovers with, all the shows that ''those'' shows had crossovers with, the shows spun off from those shows, shows that {{homage}}d shows in the Tommy Westphall Universe in such a way that connections could be drawn, and so on in order to claim that [[https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/ a large swath of modern television]] exists in the same universe... and since ''St. Elsewhere'' famously ended with an AllJustADream GainaxEnding, all of these shows are products of the imagination of an autistic boy. The idea was created by Creator/DwayneMcDuffie in 2002, ironically as [[http://www.slushfactory.com/content/EpupypyZAZTDOLwdfz.php a tongue-in-cheek criticism]] of how {{serious|Business}}ly fans of comic books take continuity. Cornell University scholar Brian Weatherson published a rebuttal to the hypothesis, "[[http://tar.weatherson.org/2004/10/04/six-objections-to-the-westphall-hypothesis/ Six Objections to the Westphall Hypothesis]]," which among other things argues that even if the entire ''St. Elsewhere'' universe is in Tommy's mind, characters from other shows that appear on ''St. Elsewhere'' do not necessary exist only in Tommy's mind, as he could have put them in there after watching their respective shows.
* ''Series/TheXFiles'', ''Series/Millennium1996'', and ''Series/TheLoneGunmen'' all exist in the same universe. The first and last are the most obvious, with the Lone Gunmen being an ''X-Files'' spin-off, though characters go back and forth between all three series and there is at least one cross-over episode.
** Also in episode "Milagro" of ''Series/TheXFiles'' the gravestones of Nicholas and Diana Salinger can be seen in a cemetery. Those are the parents of the siblings in ''Series/PartyOfFive'' situating them in the same universe.
* All of the original dramas on the Creator/USANetwork, at least in the various commercials.
* Creator/JJAbrams' "Abramsverse", for the lack of a better word, has so far been shown to be one of the most expansive verses on television. Shows which are more or less found in this verse are ''Series/{{Alias}}'', ''Series/{{Lost}}'', ''Series/{{Fringe}}'', ''Series/PersonOfInterest''. Common things found throughout most of these: the Slusho beverage brand, Apollo candy bars, the Dharma Initiative, Oceanic Airlines, Massive Dynamic, the band Drive Shaft (which Charlie from ''Lost'' was a member of), and some [[https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/hx4X1FxEMSLxEejc5RnOeUTunw57JXLsUunLxoSLFEU?feat=directlink very mild character references and crossovers]]. Some of his movies are non-canonically connected by some Fanon there as well (see film section).
** ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' also happens in the same universe as ''Series/TwinPeaks'' as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby, Laura Palmer's former psychiatrist, is mentioned to be an old friend of Walter Bishop and gave him his glasses. If ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' is part of a major Abramsverse as is the common believe then ''Series/TwinPeaks'' is also part of the Abramsverse.
** Also Oceanic Airlines exists in the ''Series/TheXFiles'', ''Series/FastForward'' and ''Series/UpAllNight'' placing them all in the same universe, and as the ''Series/TheXFiles'' also shares universe with ''Series/Millennium1996'' and ''Series/TheLoneGunmen'' those are also part of the Abramsverse. And the Lariat Rental Cars is mentioned to exist both in ''Series/TheXFiles'' and ''Series/VeronicaMars''.
** Slusho also exists in ''Series/{{Heroes}}''.
* ''Series/{{JAG}}'' spun off ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', which itself spun off ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' and ''Series/NCISNewOrleans''. The universe also includes the short lived series ''Series/FirstMonday'' via a minor character {{Transplant}} on ''Series/{{JAG}}'', as well as ''Series/HawaiiFive0'' and ''Series/{{Scorpion}}'' via {{crossover}}s with ''Series/NCISLosAngeles''. ''Series/MacGyver2016'' is also included thanks to a crossover with ''Series/HawaiiFive0''.

* What can be call the "Bellisarioverse" is linked when Sam Beckett of ''Series/QuantumLeap'' mentions to Al that his sister is married to Jim Bonnick, a naval officer who appears in Bellisario's ''Series/MagnumPI'' and also in ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'', ''Series/MurderSheWrote'' and ''Series/SimonAndSimon'' placing them all the same universe. Also in ''Series/{{Sliders}}'' Captain Maggie Becket mentions that she has an uncle named Sam.
* The presence of the One-Niners gang establishes that ''Series/TheShield'' and ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'' share a universe.
* The character Guido Panzini appears in ''Series/TheSteveAllenShow'', ''Series/TheJackPaarShow'', ''Series/McHalesNavy'', ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE'' and ''Series/OneDayAtATime1975''
* ''Series/StElsewhere'': The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Westphall#The_Tommy_Westphall_Universe_Hypothesis Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis]] looks at all of the shows that ''St. Elsewhere'' had crossovers with, all the shows that ''those'' shows had crossovers with, the shows spun off from those shows, shows that {{homage}}d shows in the Tommy Westphall Universe in such a way that connections could be drawn, and so on in order to claim that [[https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/ a large swath of modern television]] exists in the same universe... and since ''St. Elsewhere'' famously ended with an AllJustADream GainaxEnding, all of these shows are products of the imagination of an autistic boy. The idea was created by Creator/DwayneMcDuffie in 2002, ironically as [[http://www.slushfactory.com/content/EpupypyZAZTDOLwdfz.php a tongue-in-cheek criticism]] of how {{serious|Business}}ly fans of comic books take continuity. Cornell University scholar Brian Weatherson published a rebuttal to the hypothesis, "[[http://tar.weatherson.org/2004/10/04/six-objections-to-the-westphall-hypothesis/ Six Objections to the Westphall Hypothesis]]," which among other things argues that even if the entire ''St. Elsewhere'' universe is in Tommy's mind, characters from other shows that appear on ''St. Elsewhere'' do not necessary exist only in Tommy's mind, as he could have put them in there after watching their respective shows.
* ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' has quite a few 'verses. There's the main Showa verse - often called the Nebula M78 verse, which is where all the Showa series takes place as well as ''Series/UltramanMebius'' and possibly ''Series/UltramanGeed'' (according to WordOfGod), and many of the movies. Other shows have their own continuity but many characters are shared from 'verse to 'verse and cross-overs in movies are pretty frequent.



* Crossover episodes between ''Series/Warehouse13'' and ''Series/{{Eureka}}'', in which Fargo visits the Warehouse and Claudia visits Eureka, place the two shows in the same universe.
** Lindsay Wagner's ''Warehouse 13'' character Dr. Vanessa Calder appears in the ''Series/{{Alphas}}'' episode "Never Let Me Go" bringing that show into this universe as well.
* The Franchise/{{Whoniverse}}, comprising ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'', ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho''[[note]]which [[CanonWelding became canon]] in "The Night of the Doctor"[[/note]], and ''Series/{{Class|2016}}''. It's also got a massive [[Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]].
* ''Series/TheXFiles'', ''Series/Millennium1996'', and ''Series/TheLoneGunmen'' all exist in the same universe. The first and last are the most obvious, with the Lone Gunmen being an ''X-Files'' spin-off, though characters go back and forth between all three series and there is at least one cross-over episode.
** Also in episode "Milagro" of ''Series/TheXFiles'' the gravestones of Nicholas and Diana Salinger can be seen in a cemetery. Those are the parents of the siblings in ''Series/PartyOfFive'' situating them in the same universe.



* In the ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness'', all the gamelines theoretically take place in the same universes, occasionally making references to monsters and concepts in other game lines within the verse. This is also true in the ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'', but is given less emphasis between gamelines.

* It's not yet as obvious as the examples above, but the ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'' verse is starting to take form after ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''.



* ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'': There's multiple hints in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' that imply it takes place in the same megaverse as ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''. The most obvious connection is that [[spoiler:the witch Bernkastel is all but directly stated to be a LiteralSplitPersonality of Rika Furude]].

!!!'''By Author:'''
* The Enderverse is Almost all of Creator/AgathaChristie's works are in the TropeNamer, [[CreatorBacklash although technically the creator wishes it same fictional universe. While Literature/HerculePoirot and [[Literature/MissMarple Miss Jane Marple]] never was]] (see met, a few supporting characters pop up in books featuring both of them, and Miss Marple's fictional home village of St. Mary Mead is also mentioned in a Poirot novel. Minor characters also tie in the summary of the trope above). It includes ''Literature/EndersGame'', the ''Literature/SpeakerForTheDead'' trilogy, the ''Literature/EndersShadow'' side Literature/TommyAndTuppence series, and ''Literature/EnderInExile'', as well as a number several of Christie's one-off novels like ''Literature/SparklingCyanide'', ''Literature/TowardsZero'', ''Literature/PassengerToFrankfurt'', and ''Literature/TheManInTheBrownSuit''. Incidentally, Christie herself [[CelebrityParadox (or a fictionalisation of her)]] exists in 'verse, as a character in ''Literature/TheBodyInTheLibrary'' mentions having obtained her autograph. There are a few exceptions among the one-off stories: ironically one of the Christie novels with no connections to the rest of the universe is probably her most famous one, ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone''.
* Many of the fiction works of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Greeley Andrew Greeley]] -- including but possibly not limited to the ''Bishop Blackie, Nuala Anne [=McGrail=]'' and ''Angel'' books, plus ''The God Game'' -- appear to all take place in the same shared universe.
* Most of Creator/BrandonSanderson's adult fantasy (with a few exceptions, such as the three ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' books he's published on behalf of the [[DiedDuringProduction deceased]] Robert Jordan), take place on different worlds in the same universe, known as ''Literature/TheCosmere''. This is not made clear in the books themselves (although several contain hints) but is information provided by WordOfGod.
* Creator/BretEastonEllis's novels. The narrator of ''Literature/LessThanZero'' (Clay) appears in ''Literature/TheRulesOfAttraction'', and narrates one chapter. One of the narrators of ''The Rules of Attraction'' (Sean Bateman) appears in ''Literature/AmericanPsycho''. The narrator of ''Literature/AmericanPsycho'' (Patrick Bateman) appears in ''Literature/{{Glamorama}}'', whose narrator, Victor, is a minor character in ''The Rules of Attraction''. Characters from ''Less Than Zero'', ''The Rules of Attraction'', and ''American Psycho'' also appear in the short story collection ''The Informers''.
* Creator/CassandraClare's ''Literature/TheShadowhunterChronicles'' consists of the original ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' series, prequel trilogy ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'', sequel trilogy ''Literature/TheDarkArtifices'', ''The Last Hours'' (sequel trilogy to ''The Infernal Devices''), ''The Wicked Powers'' (sequel trilogy to ''The Dark Artifices''), ''Literature/TheEldestCurses'' (spin-off trilogy focused on Alec and Magnus), ''Literature/TheShadowhunterCodex'' (guide book) and three collections of short stories: ''Literature/TheBaneChronicles'', ''Literature/TalesFromTheShadowhunterAcademy'' and ''Literature/GhostsOfTheShadowmarket'', all taking place in the Shadowhunter world.
* All of Creator/ChristopherMoore's novels take place within the same universe, with locations and characters (both major and minor) taking on new, often very different roles in other books. This reached a peak during ''You Suck'' (itself a sequel to ''Literature/BloodsuckingFiends''), where a scene from ''Literature/ADirtyJob'' was retold from a different point of view. This is also the first time where a crossover with one of Moore's earlier novels doesn't make sense unless you read the book in question.
* Colin Bateman's books take place in the same universe. Dan Starkey, the AntiHero of one particular series has been mentioned in the Mystery Man series and makes an appearance in the once-off novel ''I Predict a Riot''.
* Author Creator/CTPhipps has Literature/{{FuturePunk}} for all of his science fictories and Literature/TheUnitedStatesOfMonsters for all of his urban fantasy stories. Interestingly, both of these universes and some others have crossed over with his Literature/TheSupervillainySaga universe, making them all one big multiverse.
* Creator/DanielHandler's universe, commonly referred to as the 'Snicketverse', contains ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', ''Literature/AllTheWrongQuestions'', and ''Poison for Breakfast''.
* Creator/DavidEddings has several:
** [[Literature/TheBelgariad Belgariad Universe]], home to ''The Belgariad'', ''The Malloreon'', ''Belgarath the Sorcerer'', and ''Polgara the Sorceress''.
** Elenium/Tamuli universe, home to ''Literature/TheElenium'' and ''The Tamuli''.
** The Dreamers Universe.
* Creator/{{David Mitchell|Author}}'s books are noted for their interconnectivity. This is true within single stories (the wondering soul in one of ''Literature/{{Ghostwritten}}'''s narratives, whose travels take it full-circle); within single novels (''Ghostwritten'' and ''Literature/CloudAtlas'' which are both made up of several independent but connected stories), and between novels (and other works). For example, a character from the Frobisher narrative in ''Cloud Atlas'' features prominently in ''Black Swan Green''. A minor character from Marco's narrative in ''Ghostwritten'' starts his story by waking up to a woman whose birthmark marks her as an iteration of the 'soul' that links all of the narratives in ''Cloud Atlas''. The list goes on and on. Even in Mitchell's latest book, ''Literature/TheThousandAutumnsOfJacobDeZoet'', which was seen as a departure from his previous meta/post-modernist fiction into fairly 'straight' historical drama, there is at least one very subtle connection to his earlier book ''Literature/Number9Dream'': the minor character Satsuki Miyake comes from Yakushima, hinting that she is the ancestor of Eiji Miyake, protagonist of the earlier work, who also hails from the tiny island. Insofar as Mitchell is writing about the 'real world', past or contemporary, this Verse is quite close to our own. However, Mitchell is also notable for writing science fiction elements into his books. If, as seems to be the case, all Mitchell's works are taking place in the same Verse, we are left to try and reconcile the end of ''Ghostwritten'' (which implies [[spoiler: the self-aware super-computer created by the nice Irish scientist has decided to annihilate mankind]]) with the future-set episodes of ''Cloud Atlas'' (in the first instance [[spoiler: a [[Film/SoylentGreen Soylent-Green]]-referencing consumerist dystopia; in the second instance a far-future-set 'last days of humanity']]). The possibilities are fascinating...
** ''Literature/TheBoneClocks'' goes even further and connects almost all of his previous novels and fleshes out the entire multiverse. In particular, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob [=DeZoet=] is directly connected [[spoiler: with Dr. Marinus revealed as an ''Main/EternalHero'' and Enomoto's immortality cult as legitimate magic]]. The future setting of ''Cloud Atlas'' and some background on the [[spoiler: Prescients]] are also tied into it.
* The AlternateHistory ''Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo'' by Creator/EricFlint is often referred to as the 1632-verse, or the Ring Of Fire-verse, to distinguish it from the author's other alternate history series (including the ''Literature/TrailOfGlory'' series). This also includes the novels ''Time Spike'' and ''The Alexander Inheritance'' which occur in the general universe but are based on different time jaunts.
* Creator/IsaacAsimov's [[Literature/RobotSeries Robot stories]] form a rough timeline of events. [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture Some time soon]], there will be [[JobStealingRobot robots for every type of job]], and [[MasterComputer supercomputers networked around the world]]. Most of the
short stories take place between now and comics. It is [[TropeCodifier far from]] [[UrExample then. At some point in TheFuture, a schism occurs between those who like the first example]], however.robots and those who hate the robots. Those who like robots use their labour to colonize new worlds (calling themselves Spacers), leaving Earth to the robot-haters, who start to outlaw robots with human-level AI (calling themselves Earthers). This is when the Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw stories take place. According to ''Literature/RobotsAndEmpire'', Bailey has inspired Earth's interest in space colonization, which will eventually become a single GalacticSuperpower, which [[CanonWelding bridges this series into]] the ''Empire'' and ''Foundation'' stories.



* Almost all of Creator/AgathaChristie's works are in the same fictional universe. While Literature/HerculePoirot and [[Literature/MissMarple Miss Jane Marple]] never met, a few supporting characters pop up in books featuring both of them, and Miss Marple's fictional home village of St. Mary Mead is also mentioned in a Poirot novel. Minor characters also tie in the Literature/TommyAndTuppence series, as well as several of Christie's one-off novels like ''Sparkling Cyanide'', ''Towards Zero'', ''Passenger to Frankfurt'', and ''The Man in the Brown Suit''. Incidentally, Christie herself [[CelebrityParadox (or a fictionalisation of her)]] exists in 'verse, as a character in ''Literature/TheBodyInTheLibrary'' mentions having obtained her autograph. There are a few exceptions among the one-off stories: ironically one of the Christie novels with no connections to the rest of the universe is probably her most famous one, ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone''.
* ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', which is more like a multi-media set of [[AlternateContinuity alternate continuities]]. This is lampshaded in ''Literature/MostlyHarmless'', which explains away all the different continuities by talking about how the universe is just one path through 'The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash', constantly changing position. A similar solution was used by ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' in ''Thief of Time''.
* The Duniverse, setting of ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' and its sequels.
* Robert A. Heinlein had ''The Future History,'' a chronology spanning from the 1950s to many centuries into the future. It was written from 1939 to 1987, meaning parts of it were AlternateHistory by the end. It turned into a multiverse (The World As Myth 'Verse) near the end, with a set of crossovers that brought some of his non-Future History stories into The Verse. (Not to mention crossovers with the [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz series]], ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', and ''all fiction ever written''. It got weird.)
* Creator/StephenKing's 'Verse, which spins around ''Franchise/TheDarkTower.'' Almost every novel he has ever written makes some small mention to at least one of his others. He is even a part of his own 'Verse, referred to in ''Literature/TheTommyknockers'' as "that fellow who lived up in Bangor" who writes books "[[SelfDeprecation full of make-believe monsters and a bunch of dirty words"]]." This is lampshaded in ''Literature/{{Misery}}'', in which [[AuthorAvatar writer Paul Sheldon]] has trouble starting a new book without his concordance.
** There are a handful of novels King has written that seem to be separate from the main universe he has established-- namely, ''Cell'' and pretty much anything he wrote as Richard Bachman, though their taking place in parallel dimensions of the same multiverse has not been ruled out (this has a precedent in ''The Stand'', which is confirmed to be a seperate Earth from the Prime Reality yet still part of its multiverse, since Roland and his ka-tet briefly visit it in their own series).
* The Creator/PGWodehouse verse in which the gentlemen of the Literature/JeevesAndWooster, Literature/BlandingsCastle and Literature/{{Psmith}} series know each other, often through the Drones Club. Specific links include ''Leave It to Psmith'', in which Psmith and Freddie Threepwood team up for a ZanyScheme at Blandings Castle; ''Literature/TheCodeOfTheWoosters'', in which Bertie Wooster mentions Freddie as one of his acquaintances; and "Jeeves Takes Charge," where Bertie mentions Lord Emsworth and Blandings Castle. There's even a connection to his earlier school stories -- in "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy", Tuppy Glossop is revealed to have attended St Austin's, the setting of ''The Pothunters'' and ''Tales of St Austin's''.

Minor characters also tie in his later works.
* Creator/HBeamPiper had his "Terro-human Future History", including
the Literature/TommyAndTuppence series, as well as several of Christie's one-off novels like ''Sparkling Cyanide'', ''Towards Zero'', ''Passenger to Frankfurt'', ''Four-Day Planet'', ''Uller Uprising'', ''Literature/LittleFuzzy'' and its direct sequels, ''The Man in Cosmic Computer'', ''Space Viking'', and various short stories, chronicling (albeit very intermittently) thousands of years of human history, including the Brown Suit''.

* Robert A. Heinlein had ''The Future History,'' a
internal chronology spanning from that is generally including in this canon, "The Keeper") the 1950s to many centuries ''Fifth'' Galactic Empire--by that point at least thousands if not tens of thousands of years into the future. It was written from 1939 to 1987, These stories are linked by a common history (including a nuclear war on [[PlanetTerra Terra]] which left the northern hemisphere devastated, meaning parts of it were AlternateHistory by the end. It turned human race's interplanetary and eventually interstellar civilization is based in South America, South Africa, and Australasia), the use of the "Atomic Era" to date things (its epoch being the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, in 1942 of the Gregorian calendar), various bits of shared tech ([[ArtificialGravity "contragravity"]]; "collapsium", a form of super-dense matter suitable for building armor that can withstand ''direct hits from nuclear weapons''; spaceships equipped with both "Abbott lift-and-drive engines" and "Dillingham hyperdrive engines"; and [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter a notable lack of ray guns until quite late into a multiverse (The World As Myth 'Verse) near the end, with a set "future history"]]), and assorted call-backs and shout-outs from one work to another.
* One
of crossovers that brought some of the oldest examples may be Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's "Simplicianischer Zyklus", which includes, besides the eponymous ''Literature/{{Simplicissimus}}'', his non-Future History other stories into The Verse. (Not to mention crossovers with the [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz series]], ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', "Trutz Simplex oder Lebensbeschreibung der Ertzbetrügerin und Landstörtzerin Courasche", "Continuatio des abentheuerlichen Simplicissimi Oder Der Schluß desselben", "Der seltzame Springinsfeld" and ''all fiction ever written''.

* The Creator/PGWodehouse verse
a version of modern Britain in which the gentlemen of supernatural hides below the Literature/JeevesAndWooster, Literature/BlandingsCastle and Literature/{{Psmith}} series know each other, often through the Drones Club. Specific links include ''Leave It surface. ''An English Ghost Story'' returns to Psmith'', in which Psmith and Freddie Threepwood team up for a ZanyScheme at Blandings Castle; ''Literature/TheCodeOfTheWoosters'', in which Bertie Wooster mentions Freddie as one of his acquaintances; and "Jeeves Takes Charge," where Bertie mentions Lord Emsworth and Blandings Castle. There's even a connection to his earlier school stories -- in "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy", Tuppy Glossop is revealed to have attended St Austin's, the setting of this universe.
** The ''Literature/DiogenesClub'' stories,
''The Pothunters'' Hound of the D'Urbervilles'', the ''[[Literature/TheSecretsOfDrearcliffGrangeSchool Drearcliff Grange School]]'' novels[[note]]which are a defictionalisation of a novel that existed within ''An English Ghost Story''[[/note]], and ''Tales ''Angels of St Austin's''.Music'' take place in a universe which also includes versions of characters from the previously described universe, but in which the supernatural is more visible, with various two-fisted vigilantes and outright superheroes being public figures during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The key distinction between the two universes is that the British [[Radio/TheShadow Shadow]] knock-off Doctor Shade is definitely fictional in the former, but real in the latter.
** ''Anno Dracula'' is a different but closely related universe in which Dracula seduced and married Queen Victoria, leading to a world ruled by open vampires. This universe also uses versions of characters from his Franchise/{{Warhammer}} novels, implying that those are just another branch-off universe as well.
** Newman's first novel ''The Night Mayor'' is medium-future cyberpunk SF with no overt supernatural elements, but a line in ''Bad Dreams'' implies that its protagonist is descended from a character in that novel.

* Robert E. Howard's ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian'' and ''Literature/{{Kull}}'' series take place in the same 'verse, with Conan's Hyborian Age forming after the great cataclysm that destroyed Kull's Atlantis. Kull has a guest appearance in the Literature/BranMakMorn story "Kings of the Night," linking it to Howard's historical stories. In addition, his modern day Conrad and Kirowan horror stories are linked, as Thoth-Amon's Ring of Set makes an appearance in "The Haunter of the Ring." It's arguable that all of Howard's stories occupy the same 'verse.
* While the Franchise/CthulhuMythos is generally defined as an ExpandedUniverse, the "mythos proper", the elements that Creator/HPLovecraft himself wrote about (usually set in LovecraftCountry), constitute a [='verse=] within the [='=]verse. Other writers have their own 'cycles' within it. Lovecraft himself never much cared about continuity or consistency, and deliberately sought to invoke the feeling of ancient mythology with his mutually inconsistent explanations -- if mythology from thousands of years ago is a mess open to a wide variety of interpretations, then how would mythology several ''billion'' years old develop?
* Since Lovecraft, Howard and some other writers regularily used elements from each others stories, this would make the Cthulhu Mythos, Conan/Kull universe and several others one SharedUniverse.
* All of Creator/ChristopherMoore's novels take place within the same universe, with locations and characters (both major and minor) taking on new, often very different roles in other books. This reached a peak during ''You Suck'' (itself a sequel to ''Literature/BloodsuckingFiends''), where a scene from ''Literature/ADirtyJob'' was retold from a different point of view.

The hero in ''Literature/ChasingTheDime'' suffered a childhood trauma when his sister was murdered by a SerialKiller who was eventually killed by... Harry Bosch. The heroine of ''Literature/VoidMoon'' later has a cameo in a Bosch novel. Connelly's first non-Bosch novel, ''Literature/ThePoet'', could easily have been a stand-alone book.

The official timelines goes:
** FORTH: The world as it is now.
** AHEAD: The setting for ''Literature/TheEndingChronicle''. After conquering ten parallel worlds, we must make their own Concepts part of our universe lest it be destroyed.
** EDGE: The setting for ''Literature/OnAGodlessPlanet''. When mankind discovers space travel, and leaves the EarthThatWas. The discovery of a fuel from AHEAD allows for further development.
** GENESIS: The setting for ''Literature/HorizonInTheMiddleOfNowhere''. The stage when the world ends and a time where TechnologyMarchesOn InUniverse and FORTH is all but forgotten.
** OBSTACLE: The setting for ''Literature/ClashOfHexennacht''. When the world rebuilds and destroys itself.
** CITY: The setting for the ''CITY Series''. When all the technologies developed from OBSTACLE come together, and, after the world was recreated countless times, a world that would not be destroyed is created.

In addition, his modern day Conrad and Kirowan horror stories are linked, as Thoth-Amon's Ring of Set makes an appearance in "The Haunter of the Ring." It's arguable that all of Howard's stories occupy the same 'verse.
* While The Naritaverse, for lack of a better term, entails the Franchise/CthulhuMythos four light novels ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'', ''Literature/{{Vamp}}'', ''Literature/EtsusaBridge'', ''Literature/HariyamaSan'', and ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'', written by Ryougo Narita. There is generally defined as an ExpandedUniverse, the "mythos proper", the elements that Creator/HPLovecraft himself wrote about (usually set in LovecraftCountry), constitute a [='verse=] within the [='=]verse. Other writers have their own 'cycles' within it. Lovecraft himself only some overlapping here and there, though, and never much cared about continuity or consistency, and deliberately sought enough to invoke the feeling change plot lines.
* Several
of ancient mythology with his mutually inconsistent explanations -- if mythology from thousands of years ago is a mess open to a wide variety of interpretations, then how would mythology several ''billion'' years old develop?
* Since Lovecraft, Howard and some other writers regularily used elements from each others stories, this would make the Cthulhu Mythos, Conan/Kull universe and several others one SharedUniverse.
* All of Creator/ChristopherMoore's
Creator/SinclairLewis's novels take place within in the fictional state of Winnemac (surrounded by Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana).
* Creator/StephenKing's 'Verse, which spins around ''Franchise/TheDarkTower.'' Almost every novel he has ever written makes some small mention to at least one of his others. He is even a part of his own 'Verse, referred to in ''Literature/TheTommyknockers'' as "that fellow who lived up in Bangor" who writes books "[[SelfDeprecation full of make-believe monsters and a bunch of dirty words"]]." This is lampshaded in ''Literature/{{Misery}}'', in which [[AuthorAvatar writer Paul Sheldon]] has trouble starting a new book without his concordance.
** There are a handful of novels King has written that seem to be separate from the main universe he has established-- namely, ''Cell'' and pretty much anything he wrote as Richard Bachman, though their taking place in parallel dimensions of
the same universe, with locations and characters (both major and minor) taking on new, often very different roles multiverse has not been ruled out (this has a precedent in other books. This reached a peak during ''You Suck'' (itself a sequel ''The Stand'', which is confirmed to ''Literature/BloodsuckingFiends''), where be a scene seperate Earth from ''Literature/ADirtyJob'' was retold from a different point of view. This is also the first time where a crossover with one Prime Reality yet still part of Moore's earlier novels doesn't make sense unless you read the book its multiverse, since Roland and his ka-tet briefly visit it in question.their own series).



* OlderThanTelevision: William Faulkner set most of his works in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County and often crossed over characters.
* Erich Maria Remarque did this; characters from ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront'' appear or are referenced in his later works.
* Creator/BretEastonEllis's novels. The narrator of ''Literature/LessThanZero'' (Clay) appears in ''Literature/TheRulesOfAttraction'', and narrates one chapter. One of the narrators of ''The Rules of Attraction'' (Sean Bateman) appears in ''Literature/AmericanPsycho''. The narrator of ''Literature/AmericanPsycho'' (Patrick Bateman) appears in ''Literature/{{Glamorama}}'', whose narrator, Victor, is a minor character in ''The Rules of Attraction''. Characters from ''Less Than Zero'', ''The Rules of Attraction'', and ''American Psycho'' also appear in the short story collection ''The Informers''.
* Jim Butcher's urban fantasy series of books, ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', is commonly referred to by fans as the Dresdenverse. So is the [[Series/TheDresdenFiles TV series of the same name]] (also referred to as "TV-verse"). Incorporating elements from both the books and the TV series in fanfic is referred to as "comboverse." It turned into an AscendedMeme in the tabletop RPG. Considering the BreakingTheFourthWall and DirectLineToTheAuthor stuff going on with the RPG rulebooks, this means one of the characters is referring to ''his own universe'' that way, which the titular Harry Dresden finds really weird.
* Lois [=McMaster=] Bujold's ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'' is also referred to as the Vorkosiverse.
* Many of the fiction works of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Greeley Andrew Greeley]] -- including but possibly not limited to the ''Bishop Blackie, Nuala Anne [=McGrail=]'' and ''Angel'' books, plus ''The God Game'' -- appear to all take place in the same shared universe.
* The various serial novels of ComicBook/LessThanThreeComics are all based in the <3-Verse.
* Several of Sinclair Lewis's novels take place in the fictional state of Winnemac (surrounded by Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana).
* The AlternateHistory ''Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo'' by Eric Flint is often referred to as the 1632-verse, or the Ring Of Fire-verse, to distinguish it from the author's other alternate history series (including the ''Literature/TrailOfGlory'' series). This also includes the novels ''Time Spike'' and "The Alexander Inheritance'' which occur in the general universe but are based on different time jaunts.
* The ''Literature/HumanxCommonwealth'', Creator/AlanDeanFoster's best known SpaceOpera setting and home to the Flinx and Pip series of novels.
* [[Literature/{{Neuromancer}} The Sprawl]] in Creator/WilliamGibson's [[Literature/SprawlTrilogy first trilogy]] plus two short stories.
* Much of James Alan Gardner's writing takes place in ''Literature/TheLeagueOfPeoplesVerse''.



* Most of Creator/BrandonSanderson's adult fantasy (with a few exceptions, such as the three ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' books he's published on behalf of the [[DiedDuringProduction deceased]] Robert Jordan), take place on different worlds in the same universe, known as ''Literature/TheCosmere''. This is not made clear in the books themselves (although several contain hints) but is information provided by WordOfGod.
* Commonly referred to as the 'Snicketverse', the universe containing ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', ''Literature/AllTheWrongQuestions'', and ''Poison for Breakfast'' counts as one.
* David Mitchell's books are noted for their interconnectivity. This is true within single stories (the wondering soul in one of ''Literature/{{Ghostwritten}}'''s narratives, whose travels take it full-circle); within single novels (''Ghostwritten'' and ''Literature/CloudAtlas'' which are both made up of several independent but connected stories), and between novels (and other works). For example, a character from the Frobisher narrative in ''Cloud Atlas'' features prominently in ''Black Swan Green''. A minor character from Marco's narrative in ''Ghostwritten'' starts his story by waking up to a woman whose birthmark marks her as an iteration of the 'soul' that links all of the narratives in ''Cloud Atlas''. The list goes on and on. Even in Mitchell's latest book, ''Literature/TheThousandAutumnsOfJacobDeZoet'', which was seen as a departure from his previous meta/post-modernist fiction into fairly 'straight' historical drama, there is at least one very subtle connection to his earlier book ''Literature/Number9Dream'': the minor character Satsuki Miyake comes from Yakushima, hinting that she is the ancestor of Eiji Miyake, protagonist of the earlier work, who also hails from the tiny island. Insofar as Mitchell is writing about the 'real world', past or contemporary, this Verse is quite close to our own. However, Mitchell is also notable for writing science fiction elements into his books. If, as seems to be the case, all Mitchell's works are taking place in the same Verse, we are left to try and reconcile the end of ''Ghostwritten'' (which implies [[spoiler: the self-aware super-computer created by the nice Irish scientist has decided to annihilate mankind]]) with the future-set episodes of ''Cloud Atlas'' (in the first instance [[spoiler: a [[Film/SoylentGreen Soylent-Green]]-referencing consumerist dystopia; in the second instance a far-future-set 'last days of humanity']]). The possibilities are fascinating...
** ''The Bone Clocks'' goes even further and connects almost all of his previous novels and fleshes out the entire multiverse. In particular, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob [=DeZoet=] is directly connected [[spoiler: with Dr. Marinus revealed as an ''Main/EternalHero'' and Enomoto's immortality cult as legitimate magic]]. The future setting of ''Cloud Atlas'' and some background on the [[spoiler: Prescients]] are also tied into it.
* ''Literature/WarriorCats'': The main series is fairly straightforward, but the ExpandedUniverse books are made up of several "sagas" that cover completely different parts of the world with a handful of intersecting characters.
* A good portion of John Buchan's books (including ''Literature/TheThirtyNineSteps'') are set in the same continuity, and many of his series shared supporting characters.
* The Franchise/{{Riordanverse}}, by Creator/RickRiordan, encompasses ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'', ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'', ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'', ''Literature/MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard'', and ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo''. ''Percy Jackson'', ''Heroes of Olympus'', and ''Trials of Apollo'' are all part of what's called ''Literature/TheCampHalfBloodSeries'' (with ''Kane Chronicles'' and ''Magnus Chase'' sometimes being under that umbrella too, maybe).
** By internal timeline: ''The Diary of Luke Castellan'' is a prequel set seven years before ''The Lightning Thief'' (''Percy Jackson'' #1). The first five ''Percy Jackson'' books are set over the course of four years, with books 1, 2, 4, and 5 set over consecutive summers; the third book is set the winter after the second. The short stories of ''The Demigod Files'' are set between books 4 and 5, with ''The Bronze Dragon'' taking place during the ending of the fourth book, ''The Stolen Chariot'' taking place during Percy's fall semester, and ''The Sword of Hades'' beginning during Percy's English winter final exam. The short story ''Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes'' takes place a month after ''The Last Olympian'' (''Percy Jackson'' #5), and ''Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo'' and ''Son of Magic'' (by Rick Riordan's son Creator/HaleyRiordan) take place sometime after ''The Last Olympian''. ''The Lost Hero'' (''Heroes of Olympus'' #1) is set the following December, and ''The Red Pyramid'' (''Kane Chronicles'' #1) picks up just days later.
** The short story ''Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford'' is set the following February, and ''The Throne of Fire'' (''Kane Chronicles'' #2) is set the following March. The remaining four books of ''The Heroes of Olympus'' take place from June to August of the same year. ''The Serpent's Shadow'' (''Kane Chronicles'' #3) is in September. The three-part crossover ''Literature/DemigodsAndMagicians'', in which Percy and Annabeth meet the Kane siblings, is set after this, followed by ''The Chalice of the Gods'' (''Percy Jackson'' #6).
** ''Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard'' #1 (with the titular lead being Annabeth's cousin, a demigod son of Frey) and ''The Trials of Apollo'' #1 are both set in January of the following year, with #4 of ''The Trials of Apollo'' set in April. Book #3 of the ''Magnus Chase'' trilogy takes place the following June, at the same time as ''The Trials of Apollo'' #5; the epilogue of ''Magnus Chase'' #3 takes place in early July, and the followup ''9 From the Nine Worlds'' is set sometime later.

* The Enderverse is the TropeNamer, [[CreatorBacklash although technically the creator wishes it never was]] (see the summary of the trope above). It includes ''Literature/EndersGame'', the ''Literature/SpeakerForTheDead'' trilogy, the ''Literature/EndersShadow'' side series, and ''Literature/EnderInExile'', as well as a number of short stories and comics. It is [[TropeCodifier far from]] [[UrExample the first example]], however.
* ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', which is more like a multi-media set of [[AlternateContinuity alternate continuities]]. This is lampshaded in ''Literature/MostlyHarmless'', which explains away all the different continuities by talking about how the universe is just one path through 'The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash', constantly changing position. A similar solution was used by ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' in ''Thief of Time''.



* All (Colin) Bateman's books take place in the same universe. Dan Starkey, the AntiHero of one particular series has been mentioned in the Mystery Man series and makes an appearance in the once-off novel ''I Predict a Riot''.
* Creator/CassandraClare's ''Literature/TheShadowhunterChronicles'' consists of the original ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' series, prequel trilogy ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'', sequel trilogy ''Literature/TheDarkArtifices'', ''The Last Hours'' (sequel trilogy to ''The Infernal Devices''), ''The Wicked Powers'' (sequel trilogy to ''The Dark Artifices''), ''Literature/TheEldestCurses'' (spin-off trilogy focused on Alec and Magnus), ''Literature/TheShadowhunterCodex'' (guide book) and three collections of short stories: ''Literature/TheBaneChronicles'', ''Literature/TalesFromTheShadowhunterAcademy'' and ''Literature/GhostsOfTheShadowmarket'', all taking place in the Shadowhunter world.
* Creator/MichaelConnelly has been writing mystery novels more or less annually since 1992 and they all take place in the same universe. About 2/3 of them feature the same detective, Literature/HarryBosch, but even the ones that don't tie in to the Bosch universe. The hero in ''Literature/ChasingTheDime'' suffered a childhood trauma when his sister was murdered by a SerialKiller who was eventually killed by... Harry Bosch. The heroine of ''Literature/VoidMoon'' later has a cameo in a Bosch novel. Connelly's first non-Bosch novel, ''Literature/ThePoet'', could easily have been a stand-alone book. Instead Connelly has a character read a newspaper article by a reporter mentioned in Bosch novel ''Literature/TheLastCoyote'', just to make clear the book takes place in the Bosch universe.
* Creator/IsaacAsimov's [[Literature/RobotSeries Robot stories]] form a rough timeline of events. [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture Some time soon]], there will be [[JobStealingRobot robots for every type of job]], and [[MasterComputer supercomputers networked around the world]]. Most of the short stories take place between now and then. At some point in TheFuture, a schism occurs between those who like the robots and those who hate the robots. Those who like robots use their labour to colonize new worlds (calling themselves Spacers), leaving Earth to the robot-haters, who start to outlaw robots with human-level AI (calling themselves Earthers). This is when the Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw stories take place. According to ''Literature/RobotsAndEmpire'', Bailey has inspired Earth's interest in space colonization, which will eventually become a single GalacticSuperpower, which [[CanonWelding bridges this series into]] the ''Empire'' and ''Foundation'' stories.
* One of the oldest examples may be Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's "Simplicianischer Zyklus", which includes, besides the eponymous ''Literature/{{Simplicissimus}}'', his other stories "Trutz Simplex oder Lebensbeschreibung der Ertzbetrügerin und Landstörtzerin Courasche", "Continuatio des abentheuerlichen Simplicissimi Oder Der Schluß desselben", "Der seltzame Springinsfeld" and "Das wunderbarliche Vogelnest".
* Creator/NealStephenson has used a shared universe to set a number of his books in. ''Literature/{{Cryptonomicon}}'' introduces a number of characters, including the Waterhouse family, Shaftoe family, and Enoch Root. ''Literature/TheBaroqueCycle'' features ancestors of the Waterhouses and Shaftoes as well as [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Enoch Root]]. While ''Literature/{{REAMDE}}'' does not show any signs of being set in the 'verse, its sequel ''Literature/FallOrDodgeInHell'' features descendants of the Shaftoes and Waterhouses as well as Root himself, revealing that all six books take place in the same universe.
* All of [[Literature/{{Rebus}} Ian Rankin's]] books (apart from CreatorsOddball ''Westwind'') share a 'verse -- even, thanks to subsequent CanonWelding, the thrillers he wrote under the pseudonym Creator/JackHarvey.
* Almost all of Creator/KimNewman's works take place in a multiverse, a number of specific strands of which can be identified.
** Newman's 1990s novels ''Bad Dreams'', ''Jago'', ''The Quorum'', and ''Life's Lottery'' (technically a multiverse in one novel, given its {{Gamebook|s}} structure) share certain characters and all take place in a version of modern Britain in which the supernatural hides below the surface. ''An English Ghost Story'' returns to this universe.
** The ''Literature/DiogenesClub'' stories, ''The Hound of the D'Urbervilles'', the ''[[Literature/TheSecretsOfDrearcliffGrangeSchool Drearcliff Grange School]]'' novels[[note]]which are a defictionalisation of a novel that existed within ''An English Ghost Story''[[/note]], and ''Angels of Music'' take place in a universe which also includes versions of characters from the previously described universe, but in which the supernatural is more visible, with various two-fisted vigilantes and outright superheroes being public figures during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The key distinction between the two universes is that the British [[Radio/TheShadow Shadow]] knock-off Doctor Shade is definitely fictional in the former, but real in the latter.
** ''Anno Dracula'' is a different but closely related universe in which Dracula seduced and married Queen Victoria, leading to a world ruled by open vampires. This universe also uses versions of characters from his Franchise/{{Warhammer}} novels, implying that those are just another branch-off universe as well.
** Newman's first novel ''The Night Mayor'' is medium-future cyberpunk SF with no overt supernatural elements, but a line in ''Bad Dreams'' implies that its protagonist is descended from a character in that novel.
* Creator/MadeleineLEngle's eight Murray-O'Keefe books and the Austin stories are part of the same continuity, along with several of L'Engle's other books:
** The novels ''The Small Rain'' (1945) and ''A Severed Wasp'' (1982) have Katherine Forrester as the protagonist (as an adolescent in ''The Small Rain'' and an old woman, now widowed, in ''A Severed Wasp''); she also appears in the Chronos novel ''A Ring of Endless Light'' as a pianist at a concert that Vicky and Zach attend, identified only by her married name of Vigneras.
** The novel ''Ilsa'' (1946) features Ilsa Brandes as the protagonist; the novel also introduces the Renier family, who are prominent in the Kairos novels ''Dragons in the Waters'' and ''A House Like a Lotus''.
** The novel ''And Both Were Young'' (1949; later reissued with alterations in 1983) has Philippa "Flip" Hunter as the protagonist; Katherine Forrester owns one of her paintings in ''A Severed Wasp''.
** The novels ''Camilla Dickinson'' (1951; later reissued with alterations as ''Camilla'' in 1965) and ''A Live Coal in the Sea'' (1996) have the titular Camilla Dickinson as the protagonist; Camilla's best friend is Luisa Rowan, whose older brother Frank appears in the Kairos novel ''A House Like a Lotus''.
** The novel ''A Winter's Love'' (1957) features Virginia Bowen Porcher as the protagonist; she is one of Polly O'Keefe's favorite authors in ''A House Like a Lotus'' and is married to Henri Porcher, a descendant of Henry Porcher from ''Ilsa''. Virginia's best friend is Mimi Oppenheimer, who reappears in ''A Severed Wasp'' as a neighbor of Katherine Forrester Vigneras.
** The novel ''The Other Side of the Sun'' (1971) includes members of the Renier family, who were introduced in ''Ilsa''.
** The novel ''Certain Women'' (1992) features Emma Wheaton as the protagonist and includes an appearance by Canon John Talis, who was introduced in ''The Arm of the Starfish'' and also appeared in ''The Young Unicorns'' and ''Dragons in the Waters''.
** The only novels ''not'' explicitly part of this continuity are:
*** ''The Love Letters'' (1966; revised and reissued in 2000 as ''Love Letters''), which stars Charlotte Napier; ''Certain Women'' has Emma Wheaton perform in a play featuring a scene from Charlotte's life, implying ''The Love Letters'' is a work of in-universe fiction.
*** ''The Joys of Love'' (2008) follows four days in the life of Elizabeth Jerrold in the 1940s and has no known links to L'Engle's other works.
* Author Creator/CTPhipps has Literature/{{FuturePunk}} for all of his science fictories and Literature/TheUnitedStatesOfMonsters for all of his urban fantasy stories. Interestingly, both of these universes and some others have crossed over with his Literature/TheSupervillainySaga universe, making them all one big multiverse.
* Creator/HBeamPiper had his "Terro-human Future History", including the novels ''Four-Day Planet'', ''Uller Uprising'', ''Literature/LittleFuzzy'' and its direct sequels, ''The Cosmic Computer'', ''Space Viking'', and various short stories, chronicling (albeit very intermittently) thousands of years of human history, including the rise and fall of TheFederation, the (eventual) rise of the First Galactic[[note]]noted in-universe to really only control a small portion of the Galaxy, though still a huge area by human standards[[/note]] Empire (a hardnosed but rather more benevolent than usual example of "the Empire"), and eventually (by the time of the final story by internal chronology that is generally including in this canon, "The Keeper") the ''Fifth'' Galactic Empire--by that point at least thousands if not tens of thousands of years into the future. These stories are linked by a common history (including a nuclear war on [[PlanetTerra Terra]] which left the northern hemisphere devastated, meaning the human race's interplanetary and eventually interstellar civilization is based in South America, South Africa, and Australasia), the use of the "Atomic Era" to date things (its epoch being the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, in 1942 of the Gregorian calendar), various bits of shared tech ([[ArtificialGravity "contragravity"]]; "collapsium", a form of super-dense matter suitable for building armor that can withstand ''direct hits from nuclear weapons''; spaceships equipped with both "Abbott lift-and-drive engines" and "Dillingham hyperdrive engines"; and [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter a notable lack of ray guns until quite late into the "future history"]]), and assorted call-backs and shout-outs from one work to another.

* Creator/IsaacAsimov's [[Literature/RobotSeries Robot stories]] form a rough timeline of events. [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture Some time soon]], there will be [[JobStealingRobot robots for every type of job]], and [[MasterComputer supercomputers networked around the world]]. Most of the short stories take place between now and then. At some point in TheFuture, a schism occurs between those who like the robots and those who hate the robots. Those who like robots use their labour to colonize new worlds (calling themselves Spacers), leaving Earth to the robot-haters, who start to outlaw robots with human-level AI (calling themselves Earthers). This is when the Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw stories take place. According to ''Literature/RobotsAndEmpire'', Bailey has inspired Earth's interest in space colonization, which will eventually become a single GalacticSuperpower, which [[CanonWelding bridges this series into]] the ''Empire'' and ''Foundation'' stories.
* One of the oldest examples may be Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's "Simplicianischer Zyklus", which includes, besides the eponymous ''Literature/{{Simplicissimus}}'', his other stories "Trutz Simplex oder Lebensbeschreibung der Ertzbetrügerin und Landstörtzerin Courasche", "Continuatio des abentheuerlichen Simplicissimi Oder Der Schluß desselben", "Der seltzame Springinsfeld" and "Das wunderbarliche Vogelnest".
* Creator/NealStephenson has used a shared universe to set a number of his books in. ''Literature/{{Cryptonomicon}}'' introduces a number of characters, including the Waterhouse family, Shaftoe family, and Enoch Root. ''Literature/TheBaroqueCycle'' features ancestors of the Waterhouses and Shaftoes as well as [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Enoch Root]]. While ''Literature/{{REAMDE}}'' does not show any signs of being set in the 'verse, its sequel ''Literature/FallOrDodgeInHell'' features descendants of the Shaftoes and Waterhouses as well as Root himself, revealing that all six books take place in the same universe.
* All of [[Literature/{{Rebus}} Ian Rankin's]] books (apart from CreatorsOddball ''Westwind'') share a 'verse -- even, thanks to subsequent CanonWelding, the thrillers he wrote under the pseudonym Creator/JackHarvey.
* Almost all of Creator/KimNewman's works take place in a multiverse, a number of specific strands of which can be identified.
** Newman's 1990s novels ''Bad Dreams'', ''Jago'',
''The Quorum'', and ''Life's Lottery'' (technically a multiverse in one novel, given its {{Gamebook|s}} structure) share certain characters and all take place in a version Throne of modern Britain in which Fire'' (''Kane Chronicles'' #2) is set the supernatural hides below the surface. ''An English Ghost Story'' returns to this universe.
**
following March. The ''Literature/DiogenesClub'' stories, remaining four books of ''The Hound Heroes of the D'Urbervilles'', the ''[[Literature/TheSecretsOfDrearcliffGrangeSchool Drearcliff Grange School]]'' novels[[note]]which are a defictionalisation of a novel that existed within ''An English Ghost Story''[[/note]], and ''Angels of Music'' Olympus'' take place in a universe which also includes versions of characters from June to August of the previously described universe, but in which the supernatural is more visible, with various two-fisted vigilantes and outright superheroes being public figures during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The key distinction between the two universes is that the British [[Radio/TheShadow Shadow]] knock-off Doctor Shade is definitely fictional in the former, but real in the latter.
** ''Anno Dracula'' is a different but closely related universe in which Dracula seduced and married Queen Victoria, leading to a world ruled by open vampires. This universe also uses versions of characters from his Franchise/{{Warhammer}} novels, implying that those are just another branch-off universe as well.
** Newman's first novel
same year. ''The Night Mayor'' Serpent's Shadow'' (''Kane Chronicles'' #3) is medium-future cyberpunk SF with no overt supernatural elements, but a line in ''Bad Dreams'' implies that its protagonist is descended from a character September. The three-part crossover ''Literature/DemigodsAndMagicians'', in that novel.
* Creator/MadeleineLEngle's eight Murray-O'Keefe books
which Percy and Annabeth meet the Austin stories are part of the same continuity, along with several of L'Engle's other books:
** The novels
Kane siblings, is set after this, followed by ''The Small Rain'' (1945) Chalice of the Gods'' (''Percy Jackson'' #6).
** ''Magnus Chase
and ''A Severed Wasp'' (1982) have Katherine Forrester as the protagonist (as an adolescent in Gods of Asgard'' #1 (with the titular lead being Annabeth's cousin, a demigod son of Frey) and ''The Small Rain'' and an old woman, now widowed, Trials of Apollo'' #1 are both set in ''A Severed Wasp''); she also appears in January of the Chronos novel ''A Ring of Endless Light'' as a pianist at a concert that Vicky and Zach attend, identified only by her married name of Vigneras.
** The novel ''Ilsa'' (1946) features Ilsa Brandes as the protagonist; the novel also introduces the Renier family, who are prominent in the Kairos novels ''Dragons in the Waters'' and ''A House Like a Lotus''.
** The novel ''And Both Were Young'' (1949; later reissued
following year, with alterations in 1983) has Philippa "Flip" Hunter as the protagonist; Katherine Forrester owns one #4 of her paintings in ''A Severed Wasp''.
** The novels ''Camilla Dickinson'' (1951; later reissued with alterations as ''Camilla'' in 1965) and ''A Live Coal in the Sea'' (1996) have the titular Camilla Dickinson as the protagonist; Camilla's best friend is Luisa Rowan, whose older brother Frank appears in the Kairos novel ''A House Like a Lotus''.
** The novel ''A Winter's Love'' (1957) features Virginia Bowen Porcher as the protagonist; she is one of Polly O'Keefe's favorite authors in ''A House Like a Lotus'' and is married to Henri Porcher, a descendant of Henry Porcher from ''Ilsa''. Virginia's best friend is Mimi Oppenheimer, who reappears in ''A Severed Wasp'' as a neighbor of Katherine Forrester Vigneras.
** The novel
''The Other Side Trials of Apollo'' set in April. Book #3 of the Sun'' (1971) includes members of ''Magnus Chase'' trilogy takes place the Renier family, who were introduced in ''Ilsa''.
** The novel ''Certain Women'' (1992) features Emma Wheaton as
following June, at the protagonist and includes an appearance by Canon John Talis, who was introduced in same time as ''The Arm Trials of Apollo'' #5; the epilogue of ''Magnus Chase'' #3 takes place in early July, and the followup ''9 From the Nine Worlds'' is set sometime later.
* [[Literature/TortallUniverse Tortall]], home to (so far) ''Literature/SongOfTheLioness'', ''Literature/TheImmortals'', ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'', the ''Literature/TrickstersDuet'', and ''Literature/BekaCooper'' quartet/quartet/quartet/duology/trilogy.
** The ''Literature/{{Circleverse}}'', home to ''Literature/CircleOfMagic'', ''Literature/TheCircleOpens'', ''Literature/TheWillOfTheEmpress'', ''Literature/MeltingStones'' and ''Literature/BattleMagic'' quartet/quartet/books. Ole' [[Creator/TamoraPierce Tammy]] likes her quartets, she does.
* Lois [=McMaster=] Bujold's ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'' is also referred to as the Vorkosiverse.
* ''Literature/WarriorCats'': The main series is fairly straightforward, but the ExpandedUniverse books are made up of several "sagas" that cover completely different parts
of the Starfish'' and also appeared in ''The Young Unicorns'' and ''Dragons in the Waters''.
** The only novels ''not'' explicitly part of this continuity are:
*** ''The Love Letters'' (1966; revised and reissued in 2000 as ''Love Letters''), which stars Charlotte Napier; ''Certain Women'' has Emma Wheaton perform in a play featuring a scene from Charlotte's life, implying ''The Love Letters'' is a work of in-universe fiction.
*** ''The Joys of Love'' (2008) follows four days in the life of Elizabeth Jerrold in the 1940s and has no known links to L'Engle's other works.
* Author Creator/CTPhipps has Literature/{{FuturePunk}} for all of his science fictories and Literature/TheUnitedStatesOfMonsters for all of his urban fantasy stories. Interestingly, both of these universes and some others have crossed over
world with his Literature/TheSupervillainySaga universe, making them all one big multiverse.
* Creator/HBeamPiper had his "Terro-human Future History", including the novels ''Four-Day Planet'', ''Uller Uprising'', ''Literature/LittleFuzzy'' and its direct sequels, ''The Cosmic Computer'', ''Space Viking'', and various short stories, chronicling (albeit very intermittently) thousands
a handful of years of human history, including the rise and fall of TheFederation, the (eventual) rise of the First Galactic[[note]]noted in-universe to really only control a small portion of the Galaxy, though still a huge area by human standards[[/note]] Empire (a hardnosed but rather more benevolent than usual example of "the Empire"), and eventually (by the time of the final story by internal chronology that is generally including in this canon, "The Keeper") the ''Fifth'' Galactic Empire--by that point at least thousands if not tens of thousands of years into the future. These stories are linked by a common history (including a nuclear war on [[PlanetTerra Terra]] which left the northern hemisphere devastated, meaning the human race's interplanetary and eventually interstellar civilization is based in South America, South Africa, and Australasia), the use of the "Atomic Era" to date things (its epoch being the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, in 1942 of the Gregorian calendar), various bits of shared tech ([[ArtificialGravity "contragravity"]]; "collapsium", a form of super-dense matter suitable for building armor that can withstand ''direct hits from nuclear weapons''; spaceships equipped with both "Abbott lift-and-drive engines" and "Dillingham hyperdrive engines"; and [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter a notable lack of ray guns until quite late into the "future history"]]), and assorted call-backs and shout-outs from one work to another.intersecting characters.






* In the ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness'', all the gamelines theoretically take place in the same universes, occasionally making references to monsters and concepts in other game lines within the verse. This is also true in the ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'', but is given less emphasis between gamelines.

* Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment:
** It's hard to determine just how vast the "Banpresto Multiverse" is, but by using ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' as its centerpiece, then the events that tie in with ''Original Generation'' include the "Classic Timeline", ''The Great Battle'' series, ''Hero Senki: Project Olympus'', ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'', ''Super Hero Sakusen'', ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsReversal'', ''[[VideoGame/AnotherCenturysEpisode Another Century's Episode: R]]'' and ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier''. Furthermore, this extends into ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' and ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'', as ''Endless Frontier'' occurs between both games. Needless to say, TheMultiverse churned out by Namco is extraordinarily big. ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'' would later cause a CrisisCrossover when the separation of the universes, known as Karmic Horizons, are easily exploited by the powers of the Magine, machines and beings, i.e. [[Anime/MazingerZ
The laws of physics Mazins]], [[Manga/GetterRobo The Getters]], [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth The Rune Gods]], [[Anime/SSSSGridman Gridman]] and various cultures depicted [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Psycho-frame equippped Gundams]], that use HeroicSpirit and VillainousValour to crate miracles.
** Namco also has the '''[[https://ugsf-series.com/en/ United Galaxy Space Force]]''' series, which involves many of their classic shooter games like ''VideoGame/{{Galaxian}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Bosconian}}'', ''Burning Force'', ''VideoGame/{{Galaga}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Starblade}}'', and even outside games like ''VideoGame/CyberSled'', ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer'' and the entire ''VideoGame/DigDug''[=/=]''VideoGame/MrDriller'' series. It should be noted that the timeline and release order are in no way aligned. The first game
in the ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' series, chronologically, is ''VideoGame/AceCombat3Electrosphere'', with ''Galaxian'' taking place a good two hundred years afterwards.
* According to Creator/HidekiKamiya, all of his
games are set in the same universe. There are certainly cross-game references (Enzo from [[AllThereInTheManual the manual]] ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' is featured in its SpiritualSuccessor ''{{VideoGame/Bayonetta}}'', [[VideoGame/TheWonderful101 Wonder Cheerleader]] and books [[VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe Sexy Silvia]] are the same character etc.) However, as his creations are currently owned by multiple different companies, it's unlikely these cross-game references will lead to any grander crossover anytime soon.
* Creator/{{id Software}}'s 90s games form a loose universe. ''VideoGame/QuakeIIIArena'' tied together ''VideoGame/QuakeII, VideoGame/QuakeI'', and ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' by bringing together the three protagonists. ''VideoGame/DoomRPG'' and ''VideoGame/WolfensteinRPG'' {{retcon}}ned in ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' by having BJ fight a pre-cyborg Cyberdemon and implying that he is Doomguy's ancestor; this also brought in ''VideoGame/{{Commander Keen}}'', who was already established to be BJ's grandson.
* The Creator/{{Irem}} arcade games ''VideoGame/InTheHunt'', ''VideoGame/UndercoverCops'', ''Air Duel'' and ''Gunforce 2'' all takes place in the same [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] universe and feature the D.A.S as the bad guys.
* While it yet lacks an official identifier, the universe by Creator/ProjectMoon that appears in all of their games (''VideoGame/LobotomyCorporation'', ''VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina'', ''VideoGame/LimbusCompany'')
is often colloquially called the D'niverse (pronounced done-ni-verse) after 'Project Moon-verse'.
* While at first, [[Creator/{{Sierra}} Sierra On-Line's]] ''VideoGame/LauraBow'' and ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight'' series have similar elements, with both being detectives from Tulane University, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it flyer on a message board in ''Gabriel Knight'' links

To go into detail, virtually every series made by Nippon ichi falls into two distinct verses: The world of Atelier, and the Netherworlds, which are a combination of Marl kingdom, La Pucelle, Disgaea, Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom, Soul Nomad, and several others that were not even known to be in correlation including a few cancelled videogames with characters who cross into other games. Not only are these games taking place within the same universe, but most characters find it perfectly natural for everyone to just randomly go to and fro between series as either cameo shots, secondary characters, or main characters, and often reference these fourth wall breaking aspects regularly.

* Creator/ChristineLove's {{visual novel}}s are all subtly linked by the existence of Amie Computers, Lake City, the Rook and Yamazaki families, and {{Artificial Intelligence}}s with names that start with asterisks. There are some other {{continuity nod}}s, but those are the main ones.
* Creator/{{id Software}}'s 90s games form a loose universe. ''VideoGame/QuakeIIIArena'' tied together ''VideoGame/QuakeII, VideoGame/QuakeI'', and ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' by bringing together the three protagonists. ''VideoGame/DoomRPG'' and ''VideoGame/WolfensteinRPG'' {{retcon}}ned in ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' by having BJ fight a pre-cyborg Cyberdemon and implying that he is Doomguy's ancestor; this also brought in ''VideoGame/{{Commander Keen}}'', who was already established to be BJ's grandson.
* According to Creator/HidekiKamiya, all of his games are set in the same universe. There are certainly cross-game references (Enzo from [[AllThereInTheManual the manual]] ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' is featured in its SpiritualSuccessor ''{{VideoGame/Bayonetta}}'', [[VideoGame/TheWonderful101 Wonder Cheerleader]] and [[VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe Sexy Silvia]] are the same character etc.) However, as his creations are currently owned by multiple different companies, it's unlikely these cross-game references will lead to any grander crossover anytime soon.
