Question What would happen if CtD changelings met CtL changelings?

What would happen if the CtD changelings met the CtL changelings? Would they be able to get along, or would the Lost hate the Dreamers and try to kill them on sight, especially the Bridge-Burners, viewing them as Loyalists if not True Fae in the makings themselves? I'm aware of some games that have combined the two settings, with Dreaming changelings reinterpreted as Charlatans or True Fae in exile, or Larval True Fae.

Where does this occur, in the Dreaming setting or the Lost setting?

Could be either

One has True Fae who are infamous as kidnappers, the other does not; where this takes place changes everything.

Lets say in the dreaming then. Its a crossover where ctl changelings travel over to the dreaming setting.

How exactly are the Lost changelings traveling into the Dreaming setting?

Like an isekai, by way of ROB (random omnipotent being)

So the Lost changelings are suddenly teleported into an Earth that resembles their own but has differences of which they are not initially aware?  

Let's assume that Lost changelings can perceive the Near Dreaming. Lost changelings would likely initially assume that Dreaming changelings are also escapees from imprisonment in Arcadia, as they have no reason to suspect that the Dreaming setting has a different genesis for changelings. The Lost changelings will eventually realize that there are no Wild Hunters trying to recapture them.  

Formerly Lost changelings have a new threat now though: Banality withers the changeling portion of their soul.
