More Precious Than Rubies...

Hey, when I woke up today (not I didn't say "this morning") I had no idea quantum_witch and I would be posting anything to switchythings tonight!

But in about one day, she did three drawings for an older story of mine, and finished up this evening. It's not locked to members, due to the story's age and shocking lack of smut.

Thunder Road (Trade In These Wings On Some Wheels), Version 2.0

Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Also featuring: Adam, Hastur, Ligur, lots of demons, Dog, Pepper.
Rating: PG-13 (language, mild violence, slashy innuendo)
Summary: There's no official hit out on anyone, nine years after the Blink And You Missed It End of the World. That doesn't mean it isn't personal. And supernatural scrambling for sanctuary isn’t easy in Adam Young’s world these days--not with what he’s been reading.

Now please send QW good thoughts, because one of her kitties is sick.

Sending Good Thoughts to Q-Witch and her kitty!

Keep flattering me, dear. My ego is already interfering with the ceiling fan. Oy.

Meli is doing better, but now I'm half dead from the stress and worry of last night. Can't quite manage to win here.

Go get some sleep, sweetie! Meli will do much better if you do.

Now I'm imagining a GO/HP crossover, where Adam and Harry meet and commiserate over their respective burdens of being so shockingly powerful.

"Erm, so if you don't believe in something, it doesn't exist anymore? said Harry to the blond guy who looked like a much more butch version of Draco Malfoy.

"That's the way it generally works," averred the Antichrist after taking a swing of bitters. "'Cept not with the Inland Revenue. Or Benny Hill."

"Nothing works against the Inland Revenue," Harry agreed gloomily. "No use my telling them I'm a wizard; I have to fork it up same as everyone else."

A speculative look suddenly came and went over Harry's face. An idea had just come to him, quite possibly the result of overwork, but more likely the result of three straight ciders in rapid succession. (Adam was privately amazed at Harry's ability to consume Woodpecker cider as if it were lemonade. Adam's own personal cider limit was five and a half, as he'd discovered one rainy afternoon a few months earlier.)

Anyway, Harry had this idea, but he knew he'd have to be careful about how he expressed it. He'd just have to hope that Adam was more pissed on bitters than he'd been letting on. (Luckily for Harry, he was. But that's another story.)

"I'll bet even Voldemort has trouble with the Inland Revenue," Harry said, as casually as if he hadn't just spent several agonizing microseconds debating exactly what he would say.

"Voldemort? Who's that?"

Harry pushed the fringe away from his face. "Bastard who gave me this," he replied, letting Adam see his scar. "I was a baby at the time. He'd killed Mum and Dad, then came after me."

"Fucking bastard would kill a family?!" Adam said, scandalized. "Fucker doesn't deserve to exist, he doesn't."

And suddenly, Harry no longer had a scar on his forehead...

Oh WOW. Now that's got some ramifications, that does! Devious Harry.

You know, I think you might really like dreya_uberwald's stories: she does a lot of really clever GO/HP crossovers. Here's her index at the GO Library.

I especially like the way Adam's loneliness is hinted at being resolved in "Left Out", and OMG what she does with the character of Nagini in "Adam Young's University Days" is BRILLIANT. And one can almost feel sorry for Voldemort too, considering his fate...

gods, I suck at coding. Link works, though.

'Devious Harry' is right. Though in the new Voldemort-free world, his getting his parents back is cancelled out by their having produced a baby sister a good twenty years after him, thus meaning that he gets to spend a lot of what would otherwise be his Carefree Youth changing the nappies on his little sister Melpomene.

And Dreya's stories are indeed clever and lovely. I like the idea of Adam's creating a college simply to give The Them (and his two favorite supernatural beings) a place to hang out and avoid adulthood a little while longer. And yes, I too adore how she just picked up Nagini's character and ran with it!
