How Harry Potter invaded the Discworld
The amazing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
villainny did it! She did it! She wrote a Death/Sirius drabble, and it's oh, so beautiful.
For all you people out there who don't know Death: he's an anthropomorphic personification and, um, lives in the Discworld. For all you people who know Death: Go read!
The entire thread is full to bursting with wonderful, hilarious, darkish, witty HP/Discworld crossover drabbles, and even if you don't care for Pratchett, they're definitely worth reading.
I do care for Pratchett, and my first attempt at HP fanfiction was, in fact, a crossover. It didn't work for many reasons I
I tried to bring back Eskarina Smith - as we know the first girl ever to be admitted to the UU - and to make her a young Granny, characterwise. She turned into a Mary Sue instead, and when on top of everything Susan happened to bump into Snape, I though I might as well change the plot into American-transfer-students-with-mysterious-powers-come-to-Hogwarts-and-save-the-day. On the other hand: I don't think there has ever been a Mary Sue whose family was not dead but Death, has there? Has there?!
Anyway,villainny's thread started me thinking on good crossover pairings for drabbles, and here they are:
Susan/Hermione. My guess is that Susan's opinion on Hermione equals her opinion on Vincent the Keen. You know, the kid who was making frantical 'ooo, ooo, ooo' noises and whom she'd privately marked down as The-Boy-Most-Likely-To-Be-Killed-By-His-Wife-One-Day (I'm paraphrasing). I like Susan.
villainny already wrote what I realised is my OTP: Rincewind/Greebo, but maybe some Rincewind/Dumbledore? Or Dumbledore/Ridcully.
Snape/The Bursar. Poor Bursar.
Dementor/Auditor
And yes, once again: Crookshanks/Greebo
Not exactly slash, but: Mrs. Norris/Death of Rats
Detritus/anyone. Not the HP troll, though. Detritus/Ron?
Nanny's very versatile. And she's already had this thing with Casanunda, so we know she's not squeamish. Nanny/a Goblin, Nanny/a Centaur (she would like this, I'm sure *g*)
That'll do for now. I'll go and have my brain checked, thankyouverymuch.
I might be absent from LJ for a few days. A friend is staying at my place and he will force me to turn my entire attention towards RL. Some people are quite inconsiderate.

Professional approval: Mrs Norris/Death of Rats
A little too late. The rat scrambled into a hole on the wall and there was a final-sounding Snap.
A tiny rat skeleton in a black-hooded robe materialised beside the bewildered cat. It walked through the wall (not deigning to bend down to enter the rat-hole), and emerged a second later.
Mrs Norris gently licked its tiny snout.
Sadly, skeletons can’t blush… but the Death of Rats would have. Perhaps.

Detritus/Hagrid, methinks. A lot in common. (single digit IQ, for one)
Though I really wanted to write Detritus/that dwarf they became friends with in Men at Arms (argh, brain shutdown, can't remember his name) There definitely was subtext there.

Sorry. *is not sorry at all* When I listed Detritus I though he should be slashed with one of the people who fought the troll in PS. Ron would have the chance to do away with some of his prejudices.
That reminds me: Detritus/Quirell?
Detritus/Hagrid would be good, as well. With Grawp thrown in for the fun of it.
And yes, definitely vibes between Detritus and Cuddy. The helmet is quite a give-away.
