a fandom journey

Title: Facing Down Oblivion
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Harry Potter crossover
Rating: K+
Summary: Oneshot. Spike faces the Dementors.
Notes: Feel free to speculate as to what the story behind this is, but I don't have a clear enough picture of it myself to write it yet. Very roughly, Harry, Hermione and Ron have recruited the Slayer to help fight Voldemort and it's ended in a battle. If I ever get more ideas for it then I might write it in future, but for now I just wanted to do this brief oneshot about Spike (with a bit of implicit Spuffy). AU for BtVS season seven and Deathly Hallows, so timelines have been shuffled round a bit.
Disclaimer: I don't own BtVS or Harry Potter

Title: Delayed Knockout
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Things could have turned out so differently when a split second changes everything.
Notes: A rather unusual style of writing for me, so I'm treating this as somewhat experimental. Alternative take on the Castle season three finale.

Title: Schrödinger’s Cradle
Genre: Sci-Fi
Rating: G
Summary: "We're Cats in Schrödinger's Cradle, and we rewrite history."
Notes: Brief introductory piece for an idea I'm working on. I'm going to develop it more so that the link between time travel and Schrödinger's Cat becomes apparent (as well as having a story, obviously) but for now it's just this short intro-drabble-teaser-thing.

Title: A Man's House Is His Castle
Fandom: Castle/House MD crossover
Rating: T
Summary: When Castle is suddenly taken ill at a book signing in New Jersey, his case attracts the attention of Princeton Plainsboro's best diagnostician.

Title: One True Friend
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G
Summary: Brief oneshot where Filch reflects on how Mrs Norris came into his life. I wanted to write this because although I do think Filch can be a despicable character, I also think he's rather misunderstood and if you look at his reasons for being the way he is he's actually quite sympathetic. There is something rather sad about a man whose only real friend is his cat. This is my little character study on Filch and his relationship with Mrs Norris. It may or may not be compatible with any more information we get about Filch from Pottermore, but I don't have a beta account so this is my own version of why Filch is like he is.

Title: Into The Second Aether
Fandom: Firefly (mixed somewhat with Michael Moorcock's multiverse)
Rating: PG-13

Summary: Set after the events of the Serenity movie. Badger has a job for Mal: to steal the Golden Orrery that is due to be presented to the King of Londonium at the U-Day celebrations. Mal is more than happy to do anything that might disrupt those wanting to celebrate unification, but his seemingly straightforward plan is disrupted when Kaylee finds some rather unusual passengers to bring on board for extra income. Serenity becomes the temporary home to three Core Worlders  who have found themselves stranded on the Rim: a terraforming tycoon, his wife and an eccentric hat maker. Their presence on board raises some questions as to why Badger would want to get his hands on the Orrery, and could there really be terrible consequences for the 'Verse if a certain missing hat is not recovered? And what of the mysterious  phantom ship that Rim Worlders have reported seeing sailing between the outer planets?

Other notes: This arose from me having a conversation with a friend about shiny hats, and from me having read the Doctor Who book The Coming Of The Terraphiles. It promises to be as bizarre as that book in future chapters, but I'm trying to adapt the story to fit the Firefly universe.

I'm going through a bit of an Imaginos-obsessive phase at the moment, so I've produced this surreal little drabble inspired by the Blue Oyster Cult song 'The Girl That Love Made Blind' and Sandy Pearlman's Imaginos poetry.

Title: Unforgivable
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: T
Summary: What happened in the first few hours after Bartemius Crouch Sr. broke his son out of Azkaban. Two-parter.
Warnings: Pretty dark and mentions of contemplated filicide.

( Unforgivable - Part Two )

Title: Connected
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: G
Summary: TARDIS internal monologue drabble, because the idea of personifying the TARDIS in 'The Doctor's Wife' was just too awesome to not write a fic about. The TARDIS reflects on her and the Doctor's relationship and the kind of bond that exists between them.
