So I caved and read Shalott's HP/SPN Wincesty crossover. And having to squint and scroll past the Wincest was more than made up for by the Hogwarts ghosts staging a protest about the ghost-killing Winchesters in attendance, and Dean bonding with the goblins, and getting sorted into Hufflepuff, and basically being completely unimpressed with the wizarding world. Sam, of course, is Slytherin. Hah!

That was, in fact, very funny.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

It was all very much worth skimming past the wincest. So, so good. Dean with the Hufflepuffs was just beyond perfect.

Ironically, the Wincest doesn't faze me if it's shallot writing it, but the idea of a Supernatural/Harry Potter crossover is a watch from the hall concept for me.

Oy. Just started reading a fic where Teyla's previously unmentioned phobia about fire is invented. Perhaps two sentences before a reference to her being too tired to light the many candles in her room.

'cause lots of pyrophobics enjoy being soothed by lots of tiny dancing flames all around them.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Can't do the HP/SPN xover. Funny where my lines are.

It took a very trusted fic buddy to convince me to read the story. I'm glad I did, but yeah, if I didn't trust myself to skim and mentally redact certain parts, I'm not sure I would have read it.

I've just...not been able to read any HP fic at all. It's sort of sacrosanct to me, the HP world, between the books and the movies. I know I'm rejecting all sorts of wonderful writing. I just can't bring myself to even dabble.

I'm sure it's wonderful. I'm still laughing over Bad Blood.

It's not a crossover I actually buy, the way I buy Vanzetti's Firefly/SPN fusion (not a crossover: the Winchesters grew up in the Firefly 'verse, hunting demons), because I think the universes are too widely separated. But it was a fun read.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Okay, now I'm intrigued.

By what, Fay? Shalott's story? It's worth reading, it's very fun.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just submitted my LilyII/PetuniaII chapter to Checkmated for beta-ing.

I'm half excited, half scared out of my pants.
