Weiss Kreuz /Howl's Moving Castle crossover [film or book, though I'm partial to the Howl of the movie?? but I like how Sophie's more magical in the book?? idk, as you will!], Howl!Schuldig and (male)Sophie!Crawford. ANYTHING.

Bam! One gleefully unholy amalgam, hot off the presses! There is no male equivalent of Sophie, so I went with an equivalent meaning. Hence, Sophie is now Alden. Also, I probably should have double-checked re:Strangia, but I didn't. XD

The water clouded like tea suddenly introduced to a vast quantity of milk, and Alden sighed again. His sigh surely had nothing to do with the body now obscured; after all, wasn't he cursed to be old for the rest of his (unnatural) life? It did one absolutely no good to sigh after things one could not, would not ever have the pleasure of knowing. No, Alden was old and not even Howl could change that

[obsolete_theory]

Why, the insufferable--! Howl stood in the bath then, and Alden simply didn't have time to look away, did he? Besides, there surely was no harm in looking, not when Howl apparently knew everything anyway. Alden allowed himself the indulgence

OMG. ♥!!!! This is total perfection. :D I love how you've melded the Howl-Schuldig and Sophie-Crawford characters so seamlessly, and what a great (and hot!) story! :D Thank you, thank you, thank you--this is everything I could've hoped for!! ♥♥

Thank you for the fabulous prompt! (Can you tell I've read the book and watched the movie a lot? XD) I'm glad the salad bar approach to characterization worked so well for you as a reader! There really is not enough HMC fic of any sort out there, is there?
