FIC: Temptation, Circa 1982

Jan 03, 2007 10:18

A plotbunny about a chance meeting of Crowley (Good Omens) and Remus (Harry Potter) led to this short cross-over.

It's still in need of Britpicking, so feel free to offer any corrections/suggestions.

Poor Remus. Crowley can be such a bastard. As an aside, I've often imagined that Remus and Aziraphale would get on quite well.

I particularly enjoyed the footnotes.

Thank you. I tried to write an additional chapter with more Remus-Aziraphale interaction, but it just refused to lead anywhere and bogged the whole thing down.

I'm glad you liked the footnotes; it just isn't a Good Omens fanfic without them.

This is an excellent crossover - you write the post-Halloween, pre-PoA Remus so credibly.

And I don't even feel sorry for him - he managed to keep his dignity through it all. It's a matter of survival and one survives the way one can.

He did keep his dignity, didn't he? I'm glad that came across.

Thank you.

It came across very clearly.

::hugs Remus, murmuring in his ear that Sirius really did love him and was betrayed, and it will be okay, then turns around to slap Crowley across the face, just because::

I actually just started reading Good Omens, about halfway through at the moment. It's not really my style, but a friend of mine wouldn't shut up about it, and I'm actually enjoying it quite a lot. Crowley and Aziraphale are fantastic, and you've written them very well.

Nice to see you writing again! Hope your holidays were lovely!

Oh, I'm glad you're giving Good Omens a try. I laughed throughout it.

But even better than Good Omens itself is some of the Good Omens fanfic out there. Crowley and Aziraphale are so slashable. I really need to make up a rec list of my favorites.

Really? He seemed cruel to you? I tried to strike a balance between his dutifully spreading evil around--just doing his job!--and being the likable Crowley we all love. Note that he does resist the temptation to make Aziraphale feel like a failure regarding Remus, and I don't believe it was really because he wanted to have a nice lunch.

I don't read crossovers. I don't! I don't! How could you tempt me so! I've now lost my crossover virginity and I BLAME YOU!

*goes to find more HP/Good Omens crossovers*

Mwahahaha!

I'm immensely pleased to have tempted you into forsaking your crossover virginity. Some crossovers just don't work, but some are wonderful. It would be a shame to miss the good ones because you have a strict rule against it.

Have you read daegaer's "Mother of God" yet? It's Good Omens crossed with a very Renaultish Alexander the Great, and it's one of my very favorite GO fanfics.
