I know very, very, very little about Dresden and his world (I think I've heard him mentioned once or twice), but perhaps I should rethink that if its anything like this! Very intriguing and so wonderfully written. And I love this incarnation of the Labyrinth. Looking forward to finding out what happens next!

Oh, it's a fun series to read, kind of crackfic-flavored urban paranormal mystery! Jim Butcher does the humor bits a lot better than I do. :)

"...all for a job that's a piece of cake."

Famous last words, methinks.

Oh, and by the way: I LOVE HARRY DRESDEN SO HARD.

You've done a marvelous job. Simply marvelous!

[dmacabre]

Thank you. ;D It's so much fun writing Harry. Most of the time, he sort of writes himself...

You had me at "making uninhibited monkey love to my all-too-willing frontal lobe".

Who am I kidding? You had me at the first line! This is a work of diabolical genius. I was going to quote a selection of my favourite lines but it turns out that there is more than one in every single paragraph. Seriously.

You write Dresden better than Butcher; he'd be jalapeno-green if he read this.

Can't wait for the second installment! Squee!

[dmacabre]

Hee! Thank you. I definitely wouldn't claim to be better, but I'm over the moon if people think I'm even close. That series is so much fun, and mashing it up with Labyrinth is even more fun. *g*

This is gorgeous. Well done!

[dmacabre]

Thanks! ;D

I'm so glad you liked it! :) I know you're not that familiar with the series (or at least, I don't think you were?) but since your prompts said you were open to a crossover, I thought I'd give that a try. I definitely wanted to aim for something more humorous since it sounds both of us could use some cheering up!

Unfortunately, I didn't realize the fic would be so damn LONG, geez. Oh, and I've filed away the ideas inspired by your other prompts. I'm thinking... an AU fairytale retelling of Red Riding Hood where Sarah's a bounty hunter on the track of a werewolf serial killer. That sounds too fun not to write, and thank you for the plot bunny! :)
