This story made me so happy. :-) *claps* I've only seen 1.5 episodes of each one, but even so, everyone's voices were crystal clear in my head. I just loved the Will/Sookie interactions. And it was great to see the Glee characters on the receiving end of some of True Blood's southern charm.

Eric is such an ass. I loved all of his wise-guy cracks. And I liked this slightly snarkier side to Sookie. Her banter with Eric was wonderful. And I loved how Will could tell that something was definitely off about Eric, even though the whole "they're vampires!" thing didn't come up.

My favorite part was when they are singing and Sookie's reading Will's mind. It's such a lovely, peaceful moment for everyone in the story, and I loved the way you wrote her delving into his mind. I got the happy feeling from reading that section that I get from watching musicals, so bravo!

This was such a wonderful little random interaction on the road, where the two sets of characters helped one another out and brightened one another's days.

yeah, i didn't want to get into the whole "they know there are vampires" thing, and maybe that was remiss of me, but it felt too complicated. i'm glad it came off alright without addressing that issue. and i feel, really, you can interpret it that they know vamps exist, but don't see enough of them to be able to ID them on the fly.

Eric is something that Alexander Skarsgard does so well despite most of the writers for TB not getting Eric AT ALL. he IS a crack-up/cut-up/smarmy SOB and i LOVES him.

thanks for your input in that little bit re: Sookie reading Will's mind - it works much better now.

glad you liked! huzzah! :oD

THANK YOU!!! levitatethis December 10 2009, 23:04:57 UTC

What an absolutely delightful crossover! I wasn’t sure if any of my prompts would inspire anything but seeing what you came up with in terms of crossing True Blood and Glee has me grinning ear to ear ( ... )

hee! i'm SO GLAD you liked! i'm like "oh crap i haven't watched Heroes in AAAGES" and i while it's on my list, i haven't gotten around to the ghost/vamp/wolfie british one so i was a bit adrift ( ... )
