Okay, I need to reread this but dude, Doyle is gonna love you 'cause wow Asylumverse.

It was so not a very strong suggestion. Is not my fault that it hits all your buttons. All it lacks is Fred. *wink* Incidentally, I was thinking of you just before I got your comment and read this 'cause I'm adding craziness into my darkfic and River is verging on writing on walls and so I thought of Fred and thus of you.

But, um, wow. You created the bestest way evar of crossing all these 'verses. The smutty part is like hardly even necessary 'cause the time travel and the sensing magic and teacher/student and the death and the crazy and everything is so awesome.

Typo fixed, thanks. :)

Totally thought of Doyle when I figured out how to get River into the mix.

It was SO a very strong suggestion. It's just that I probably didn't need your very strong suggestion to write it, 'cos, as you mentioned, KINK. (And I totally considered having River's Serenityverse have Fred/Kaylee in it, but then realized that would be gratuitous even for this fic, which is clearly the most self-indulgent thing I've ever written.)

HAPPY.

I don't have the mad Fredlove you do, so the "lack of Fred" was basically a wink at your kinks as I'm inclined to agree that a Serenityverse with Fred/Kaylee would be gratuitous. And let's face it, I'm probably only saying that because it's a crack-for-*me* fic.

And I started babbling about my darkfic but then decided that really, I didn't need to inflict that upon your comments and perhaps I should just go back to working on the damn thing.

Yay for self-indulgence! Seriously, when authors are clearly having fun, I have fun as a reader. It's one of the things that I love about Heinlein, who can be very self-indulgent.

And I enjoyed this fic very, very much. Loved it.

upon rereading this..

[hermionesviolin]

I totally read this through too fast the first time

Re: upon rereading this..

[wisdomeagle]

YAY! *happies at the feedback*

In rereading I remembered that you can't Apparate on Hogwarts grounds. Upon first reading I just assumed they needed to be out of eyesight so they could sneak away.

Yep. Have you not read Hogwarts: a History? (I'm not too detail-oriented in HP canon, but that's a fact Hermione has drilled into even my head.)

I hadn't noticed first time 'round just what beautiful slicing there is between the worlds during the discussion of River's sanity, and I also didn't realize until this readthrough just how River's remarks to Giles told him what he needed to know. On first read I was like, "Oh, Hamlet, see, she's clever, ergo sane" but this time I was like, "Oh, Hamlet! Who fakes being crazy. Which is her way of saying she's not as out of control"

Yay allusion! (I was kinda proud of that bit.)

"She used to dart between worlds like a god;"

Ooh, that's such an Illyria line.Yes, it is. *loves on Illyria like whoa, though isn't entirely sure what she's doing in the crackfic other than some sort of "it's all

Re: upon rereading this..

[hermionesviolin]

The Apparating I totally *should* have remembered since they mention it like every book. My brain is just sometimes not so much with the functioning.

*loves on Illyria like whoa, though isn't entirely sure what she's doing in the crackfic other than some sort of "it's all connected" thing and wacky parallelism.

*grins* I kinda suspected as much. And given the fic, it is totally legitimate.

I, of course, am in heart with the pairing list :)

And I shall poke Doyle to read it at some point.

I did in fact finish my site update while it was September 1. (Not that I'm obsessive and/or anal-retentive or anything.) Oh how much crack I have written this past month. And *damn,* every month I surprise myself with how much I've read and found worthy of reccing.

[wisdomeagle]

I, of course, am in heart with the pairing list :)

And as is your crackfic, that is entirely appropriate. :)

I know! Not, of course, because I refreshed every half hour or so, however. (I in fact only checked twice, once at 8:30 and once at about midnight.)

Am now clicking through the new stuff, and some old stuff I hadn't actually poked at before. Yay, crack!

Fic: Incurable

O!
This is wow in terms of the fictional-verse metaphysics.
The idea of the three of them together is wonderful.
I particularly loved Minerva (and the hints of Minerva/Luna). Also, her description of looking and finding, wanting Ravenclaws.
River is saner and more insane than either Harry or Buffy would have been.

[wisdomeagle]

Thanks v. much. :) I am quite in love with McGonagall and rather hope most other girls would be too. And I love playing with the Houses -- my inner Sorting Hat is strong. :)

Am really glad you enjoyed; thanks for commenting.

[kellychambliss]

I'm obviously years behind in commenting on this, but I hadn't seen this fic before. Wonderfully done, Minerva especially. I'm quite in love with her myself, and I'm especially in love with your last paragraph.

[wisdomeagle]

I am also in love with McGonagall. <3 Thanks for the feedback.

[srevans]

I don't remember what rec list I came in from but damn, this might be my favorite cracky crossover I've ever read. That was awesome.
