a three-quarters drabble

[dolabellae]

Further to my resolution to keep in touch with LJ more often, and to remind myself that I can still get things finished, even if this is shorter than a drabble and basically a one-liner... This was originally written for nineveh_uk and is therefore a crossover of two things she likes which will mean little (nothing?) to those who haven't read Clouds of

I've read Clouds of Witness so I know what Peter's Pot is - but will have to do some revision, as I don't have a clue who Rowland Prince is in that book...

And icon love to the fierce canary!

crossover! not in Sayers at all, but someone waiting for a portkey. damn. obv should have used more drabble words making that clearer...

::canary looks at me fiercely::

[nineveh_uk]

I dunno, I'd have thought the word "wizards" was a bit of a clue. There aren't any wizards in Sayers except for the story where there are

Nice to see this again, though for a faint moment I thought "a crossover of two things she likes" was going to be Barbara/Paul meets the Death Eaters...

[dolabellae]

except for the story where there are Have I missed that one, or are you being ironic again?! I have only read one of the short story collections - it's hard to face the fact that there's so little undiscovered Wimsey left for me, so I'm taking them very slowly...

Barbara/Paul meets the Death Eaters... Go on, I dare you! I don't reckon the DEs would stand a chance against Uncle Pandarus, at least...

Ironic, me?

[nineveh_uk]

He pretends to be a magician/wizard in The Incredible Elopement of Lord Peter Wimsey. I don’t think the short stories are particularly good, but they are a bit of fun, and the one with 10 year old Saint-George has the words “TV Christmas special” written all over (except that they’d have to change the bit about S-G staying with Peter and Bunter and going pyjama-clad into their bedrooms for child protection reasons).

The other way to save the Wizarding World: fix all the DEs up with French mistresses. Alas, I have no time at present, the list of must-write fics grows ever longer, and I've just been scribbling down "Peter PV of beach swimming scene" - well, if no-one else will do it.

Re: Ironic, me?

[dolabellae]

Ah, haven't read that one - though have the Saint-George, and thoroughly agree on its potential.

fix all the DEs up with French mistresses. *snort* Or just Tom Riddle, perhaps? Cut off the problem before it even starts? Oh well, will just have to imagine tale-as-written-by you, and can't complain given what you say you are intending to share with us instead.

Entirely your fault

[dolabellae]

Joy and rapture! That's wonderful.

[dolorous_ett]

Sorry - I'd forgotten Peter's Pot is in Yorkshire, and the Princes are HP and very likely Northern...

*sigh* I'll get me coat. Sorry for letting the side down!

[dolabellae]

No, don't get your coat, stay! (unless you have somewhere else you want to be, of course...) There was only one word as a clue - I'm always missing things like that. And thanks for spotting the(presumed) Northerness of the Princes.

I was originally going to make more of this - talking about the two wizards heading off to the Quidditch World Cup or somesuch - but I really didn't know where to take it so I left it at my one stroke of inspiration about that sardine tin...
