Because I now have spare writing time, a meme.

Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialog happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.There probably will be backstory, ( Read more... )

Oh. Oh.

This is so painful, and so right--the two younger brothers who were so terribly disregarded.

And this just rings true:

But I do keep wondering: was there anything I could have done to make him love me?

Oh, Regulus.

And bless Faramir for seeing that the kid desperately needs a brother who loves and accepts him.

I want very badly to give Sirius a thwap with a clue-by-four now. Right after I stop crying.

(I play a post-death Regulus in an RPG. This is my Regulus and his relationship with Sirius, 110%. There's a Faramir there, too, whom Reg admires enormously.)

After thinking about these two for a moment, I realized that the only proper way for it to end would be with hugs. Lots of hugs. Because if Faramir is sympathetic usually, imagine how much more so he would be to someone who was always in his big brother's shadow. I mean, at least Faramir knows his brother loved him.

I ended up wanting to whack Sirius too, which hadn't been my original intention when I started writing. But then Regulus started talking, and while there's probably another side, he never saw it.

I'm glad you like it, and I thank you for giving me the idea to write it, because it was fun.

"Pipe? It's excellent leaf this year."

"No, thank you, I don't. Sherbet lemon?"

"Not with a pipe, if it's all the same to you. I learned long ago that mixing food with a smoke must be done carefully if at all."

"I can imagine."

...

"I wonder if he will have the strength to let it go, after all."

"Hmm? What?"

"Oh, I was just talking to myself, thinking about a charge I left behind. He's come into possession, or he will, of some rather powerful artifacts. I only hope he'll be able to see the right thing to do with them."

"Ah, well, picking them up is easy. It's the putting them down that's hard."

"Very true, very true."

Judging by the comments you're familiar with Harry Potter, so. Zexion and Snape?

"What are you doing down here?"

"I could ask the same of you."

"Although it may have escaped your notice, I live here, and therefore have an infinitely better reason for being here than does someone whose health is being drunk in the Great Hall at this very minute. Why aren't you up there socializing?"

"I was. Then I realized that no one else in the room could tell hydrochloric acid from saline solution, after which remaining seemed like unnecessary self-torture ( ... )

Oh, I love this! I originally had trouble figuring out who was who, but that's not because of any lack in the dialogue but because they're just very similar. (I always figured Zexion and Snape would get along brilliantly or not at all.)

Also, Zexion using Snape as a Vexen-replacement is very awww. Poor Zexion. ;_; (althought there is a small bit of hilarity, because REPLICA. Is this karma?!)

I am now wondering why Zexion would be being toasted in the Great Hall.

XD. It would be a matter of luck and circumstance whether they ended up allies or enemies, really. We;ll just pretend they were both in a mildly good mood when they met.

Snape is Vexen. Only sneakier. Zexion pretends not to miss his friends, but we all know better, don't we?

I think that's because of the backstory that wasn't supposed to be there.

Severus Snape and Vayne Solidor! Or, if that's not to your taste... Luna Lovegood and Larsa Ferrinas Solidor.

What can I say... I think I've got the royal family on my brain. ;)

"What do you want?"

"I? I want a great many things: freedom, happiness, a world that truly works...but what I want right at this moment is to make you an offer."

"The answer's no."

"You haven't even heard what it was going to be."

"I don't need to. People like you only make one kind of offer: a fake one. I'm leaving."

"But if you do, you'll never know what it was I was going to offer you in exchange for your services."

"I don't need to; you have no idea what I want."

"I can make it all stop. All the lies, all the battles, all the torture...I can make it end."

"What makes you think so?"

"I am gathering the most powerful army any world has ever known. One by one, those sent by them to oppose me will fall, and then, when the nations of the world have seen how little they can do, we will shake off our shackles. We will be free, and all the things created by them to weaken us, all the wars where there could have been alliances, will be over forever ( ... )

Oh my god, if I had not loved you and your writing already, this would have sealed the deal. Vayne Solidor is SO what Voldemort would have been if only JKR had been able to write intrigue properly. Brilliant parallels you set up here! ♥
