As suspected, I was ultimately unable to shake my Leverage crack addiction. Shoot - maybe this is my niche. Along with conversation!kink.

Of course Parker is Tinkerbell!! *smacks head* Yup!!

And Sophie... hm, the tunnel and the footsteps made me think of The Third Man, but that's not it, I guess. But... there is Circe, right? Smell of brine...

Please post the answers too, yes? *g*

And I loved it. Great companion piece, and wonderful ideas! *giggles at Eliot sneezing from faerie dust*

[havocthecat]

Circe or one of the Sirens, I think.

Hrm, clearly I need to read the other piece to have half a clue what's going on. My fault for missing the author's note! (The story was awesome anyway, though.)

[themonkeytwin]

Yes, the other half does help, although not with Sophie's identity! Glad you liked anyway, and that it still kind of worked as a story. :)

Cookie for you! Siren was one of the first jobs she took, back when she was still really, really angry at men. For good reason (at least to her)....

[havocthecat]

I read the other half after this, and that was also a blast. :)

Anyway, Sophie as a siren is awesome, and (seeing the other comments), did you base Sophie-as-Eurydice on Gina's turn as Eurydice in the Henson's Tales of the Storyteller show? (So very young! So much room to improve as an actor!)

You've certainly helped reinvigorate my need to work on my Leverage/The Mummy crossover, that's for sure.

[themonkeytwin]

Glad you liked that one too. It was just a monster-mash run amok, really.

Gina's turn as Eurydice in the Henson's Tales of the Storyteller show

She did what now? No, I had no idea! I only vaguely know Gina from Coupling, which I really never watched. The universe is synchronising on me! (That's awesome!)

Also, Leverage/Mummy? I'm intrigued. Is any of it up?

[themonkeytwin]

Thanks! It was irresistable - Parker as Tinkerbell is pretty much the reason I had to write this. That image just would not leave me alone! It just made far too much sense. Hee!

You're on the right track with Greek myths - that's where she started. As she says, she's had many names and many roles! Not Circe, though; Havoc got a hit with "siren". :) That was one of her first jobs, after being let down by the man she loved. For her original identity, hint: his "turning face" is important.

I'll post answers soon, if no one gets them. And there will very likely be more fic, exploring other roles, because this is just too much fun! :D

[elebridith]

Oh, OH! Eurydike?? Because Orpheus turned around before they were out!

[themonkeytwin]

Cookies!!!! \o/

Yup, and then she cut a deal/took a job from Hades. :)

[elebridith]

YAY! :-) Yup, Sophie could even outtalk Hades. *g*

[themonkeytwin]

Might even be worth a fic.

... OMG what have I gotten myself into? :O

[elebridith]

*giggles* And OMG your icon! *cracks up*

[havocthecat]

I really hope to see more of this kind of crack from you. You write an absolutely lovely Sophie and Parker, and my favorite Leverage fics always include gobs of Sophie and Parker interaction.

[themonkeytwin]

Thanks! I'm really pretty sure that's going to happen. The bunnies, they plague me!!!
