#hp/tma crossover

[pooks]

okay, so i don't really advertise this because frankly, i do NOT agree with a fucking terf's ideas and therefore, she tainted a beloved book series she wrote and ultimately destroyed my childhood

but then i decided "fuck it, it's a fanfiction and she doesn't have any say in what i wrote or even make money of it"

also i made it gayer. so take that!

anyho, this is my HP/TMA 90s AU fanfiction that turned from a stand-alone story into a flippin series.

so imagine this; canon divergence happens in pre-OotP, Percy doesn't take Fudge's promotion offer (partly because that is sus, partly because web-related shenanigans) so he gets fired instead and what does our lovely ginger nerd find instead? the magnus institute.

so Elias takes a look at this boy and is like "yes, he will do nice for an Archivist" and hires him on the spot.

(and if case you're wondering, this is a TMA where it's set in the 1990s instead of the 2010s)

so we get an archive crew with four assistants and an archivist who has no idea what he's even doing, but he is determined and he needs to keep his wizard status as a secret

that's how this was created;

https://archiveofourown.org/series/3516304

ps. the second season-story is in progress. ;)

pps. i cannot stress this enough, but i DO NOT support the author in anyway and she can throw herself into the sun, for what i care. also i treat the characters better and i made it all better and gayer, because i can.

Hogwarts Houses (RadDan°TM) I think some TMA characters might've been in very randomly selected

Jon Sims - Slytherin - specifically because he would have been a Ravenclaw except he had that defining moment with Mr. Spider which made him want knowledge to prevent being so powerless, as many traumatized

Graham Folger - Ravenclaw - bro took a criminology course for funsies do I need to say more?

Julio Hernandez - Hufflepuff - guy seems like a solid, down to earth, dependable person

Father Burroughs - Gryffindor - he's got good intentions but his righteousness blinded him to his straying from his chosen path

NotThem - Hufflepuff - while closer to a magical beast than human, NotThem is patient and persistent in how they stalk their victims, whose magical properties works very hard, and has the hidden teeth of a badger which very few ever see. The Hat only sorts according to the head it was placed on and would let NotThem matriculate.

Dominic Swain - Ravenclaw - theater nerd that knows a little bit about a lot of things, certainly enough to spy the diamond in the rough of a Leitner book

Martin Blackwood - Hufflepuff - no one knew why since he didn't talk much and always had his nose in a book and kept to himself in a Ravenclawish way but, even though he's a muggle born, he had a roaring side business during the summer selling easy-to-disguise-as-Muggle potions to pay for his mother's live-in carer while he's away at school.

Stoker brothers - Gryffindor - idk they give off Sirius mixed with Weasleys vibes

Tova McHugh - Slytherin - the whole taking but balancing with good deeds is giving upper class/super rich it's okay because look at my philanthropy eat the rich vibes. Definitely a pure blood or pure blood adjacent that quietly believes in that shit but, similar to Narcissa, does have a wall she hits when she says enough

blackwood

I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO WRITE A TMA CROSSOVER *HWAUIHD* well Blackwood is a mix of the Black and Wood families, and is a mix of a muggle and magical family, so at most it'd be like a half-blood, and at worst a muggleborn. technically. I MEAN not that muggleborn is bad but like. doubt itd really be pureblood Well technically I wasn't even looking to, I've been going through the wiki reading the wandlore (people don't lie when they say its fun reading through it all to determine what best fits a character) and black because I'm writing something. It would certainly be an interesting concept? And I mean TMA is in the UK. like martin: oooh uhh *suspicious, trying not to act suspicious* whats the internet??? *as a person who disappeared off the face of the earth for 7 years since he was eleven and thus doesnt know as much as he would in the past despite probably being born in the muggle world, regardless of blood status* jon: ??? martin: *something something* mugg- UH. [something something] jon: *was martin about to say he got mugged? ???*

everyones just like really confused

elias being like 'HOW DOES HE KEEP GETTING OUT OF THESE SITUATIONS'

while martin just nervously sweats but is entirely oblivious as wtf was actually gonna happen lmfao, like one of those fics where the character outsmarts this other character every step of the way and that person thinks theyre so smart but said person is actually entirely unaware, oblivious to whats going on and half of it is coincidence, and itd so fucking funny

Help Me decide what to write

I have decided to start doing regular updates to force myself to actually keep a writing schedule. AS SUCH, here's a list of WiPs I can start working on. Ones I have started publishing will use their titles, ones I have only in my WiPs folder will be by description (not including my current One Piece AU that I plan to finish before October with sporadic updates.)

Feel free to ask questions.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks @fridayyy-13th for the tag!

How many works do you have on Ao3? 64!

What's your total Ao3 word count? Holy...! Uh, 1,700,611. (I should've guessed, I've got some ultra-long fics on there, but Jesus Christ on a cracker.)

What fandoms do you write for? These days, mostly The Magnus Archives. I've also written for Star Trek (primarily the AOS/Kelvin films), the MCU/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Cut & Run, and RQG. I've got a couple of very, very old Sherlock fics, a couple PJO fics from some ship week challenges I took part in back when the Heroes of Olympus books were still coming out, a couple WTNV fics, a few Star Wars fics that never made it to AO3, and three one-offs.

What are your top five fics by kudos? leaves too high to touch (roots too strong to fall) - 1,758 kudos Had He Known It - 777 kudos Whiskey Lullaby - 395 kudos It Was Just My Imagination Telling Lies - 378 kudos Hurry Up and Slow Me Down - 349 kudos

Do you respond to comments? Every single one! It's half the fun to me.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Ooh...that's a toughie, actually, but I'm going to go with Where the Road Waits to be Taken because it's the only one where the ending focuses on the people left behind.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Also a toughie! But I'm going to go with Love Will Find Out the Way.

Do you get hate on fics? Not so much anymore. I've been around long enough that I definitely used to, but I write for saner fandoms now.

.Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Not these days. I'm asexual and, while I'm personally sex-averse, my tolerance for it in fiction kind of goes in cycles. I think the last time I wrote an explicit sex scene was in 2016 or 2017.

.Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? Heh...I do, on occasion. Most recently the WTNV/TMA crossover (the full extent of which hasn't been published yet), which isn't that crazy. I think the craziest one I wrote was the Sherlock/Star Trek crossover that was also (sigh) a HP AU...which I have deleted, so sorrynotsorry.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not as far as I know, but I don't exactly go looking.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Again, not as far as I know.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Uh...technically? My brother had an idea for a fic, but he wasn't old enough to join any fanfic websites at the time (we were probably the only two kids who never lied about our age on the internet to join websites), so he dictated it to me, I fleshed it out and posted it under my username.

What's your all time favorite ship? I love so many, but I have to say, the only ship I love that I genuinely can call an OTP in that I cannot fathom them in a relationship with anyone else (even adding anyone else to the equation) is Cecilos. JonMartin is a close second, but, well, I can see (and frequently enjoy) them also having other people in their relationships. Cecil and Carlos? Nuh-uh.

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Ooh. There are...a couple. But I have a WIP sitting in my Tumblr drafts that was a sequel to Hurry Up and Slow Me Down that I would very much like to finish someday...I just, yeah.

What are your writing strengths? Angst and heartbreak. I've got a gift for descriptions, and I'm really good at conveying emotion in text. And I think I have a knack for putting together a tasty sentence.

What are your writing weaknesses? I do tend to get hung up on irrelevant details, and I frequently think myself into a corner. I also think I tend to obsess sometimes about things being perfect...and if I'm being honest, a big weakness of mine (not just in my writing, but in general) is that I often feel like it's something I need to apologize for, which is not helpful.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Oh, I love doing that! I try to put a translation in hover text, and also in a footnote for benefit of screen readers, but I also try not to burden the actual text with translations. It's one of those "trust the reader to know what you're trying to say, and if they can't figure it out from context, you have failed as a writer" things to me. (This may have something to do with the fact that I used to write Star Trek fanfic, and conlangs are a thing.)

First fandom you wrote for? If you want to get technical, Power Rangers; I used to tell myself stories about the Power Rangers to put myself to sleep at night when I was a little kid, and once I wrote one down and read it out loud for Show and Tell. (The opening line was "One night, when Kimberly and Trini were sleeping, they were stolen," which should tell you everything you need to know about it. In my defense, I was seven.) I didn't know that's what it was at the time, though. If you're talking fandoms that I wrote for knowing it was a fandom and published on the internet...well, I grew up in the '90s and turned thirteen in the early '00s, so it probably shouldn't be that big of a surprise that it was HP.

Favorite fic you've written? It's like asking me to pick a favorite child. I am deeply in love with to find promise of peace (and the solace of rest) even if the next chapter is currently frustrating me a bit, because I am always deeply in love with my current project, because I love the way it showcases how I've grown as an author. That being said, I think my favorite fic that is currently complete might actually be Tomorrow When the World Is Free.

Tagging (absolutely no pressure) @blasphemous-lies-and-deceit, @amberastra, @magnetarmadda, @astudyinfic, @dyscalculated, and anyone else who wants to give this a go!

A headcanon:Grifter’s Bone is big in the wizarding world’s metal scene but due to the dozens of spells shoved inside the notes to make the music as enjoyable as possible for the magic folk’s liking,it usually ends up being far too much for the muggles to handle,resulting in them getting hurt Edit:What if actually The Mechanisms and Grifter’s Bone are the same band?They go by The Mechanisms when performing in front of muggle audiences but keep the name Grifter’s Bone for secret venues,only meant for wizards,where their music is 10 times heavier and more powerful.On a few of those venues,some muggles accidentally ended up attending and it didn’t end up well for them at all (*cough* mag 42)

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

A collection of fics I’ve read (/reread) and thoroughly enjoyed in the past week-ish from all kinds of fandoms and genres.

ATLA

the thing about dancing by anodymalion

The first time a attendant spills Zuko’s tea and doesn’t immediately fall to her knees, begging the Fire Lord’s forgiveness, it is not anger but a resounding warmth that fills his chest.

you're all that i want by aurora_chiroptera

Zuko's advisors decide that it would be best for the Fire Lord to be entered into a political arranged marriage.

Zuko might be suspiciously fine with this.

promises like ashes by Adrianna99

Jet looks desperately to Katara.  “He admitted it!” he exclaims.  “War or not, Lee’s a firebender!  He’s from the Fire Nation.”

Katara frowns at him.  “Jet, we know.” 

Jet gapes at her.  “You—?” 

The blind earthbender hops down from her perch at the counter, wanders over to join her friends and Lee.  “’Course we know,” she says with a wide grin, and punches Lee on the arm.  He glares at her.  The earthbender’s grin somehow widens further.  “It’d be kinda hard for him to be the Firelord if he wasn’t from the Fire Nation.” 

There’s a moment of silence, and then Jet wheezes, “He's the what?”

[Every morning Jet wakes up alive in a free Ba Sing Se, and he doesn’t quite know what to do with himself]

Question Marks by azenki

Zuko pulls away first. He stares at Sokka and raises his one brow. “You do realise,” he says dryly, “that you just instigated a major international incident?”

Or: Sokka is impulsive. This is a problem. Especially when he ends up kissing the Fire Lord and immediately running away.

FMA/HP Crossovers

✩ snipers solve 99% of all problems by silentwalrus

 (Note: I don’t think I’ve read a HP/FMA crossover since high school, but oh man, I am so glad I was recced this)

Ed had thought, after the whole Promised Day, homunculus, entire country harvested for alchemical batteries thing, the batshit quotient of his life would have settled down some. He really ought to have topped out the meter with that one. But no. The bullshit is just getting started.

“Are you fucking kidding me,” Ed demands. “The wizards?”

TMA

The Timeline of Theseus by Applea

Jon tries to force the Spiral to send him back, but the Sprial's corridors never twist things quite the way you want them to. Back in 1996, Elias has no idea why or how the Eye made such a powerful Avatar out of an 8 year old, especially when said 8 year old doesn't actually know he has any powers at all. Clearly such a child cannot be left outside the Institute's care.

Untamed

✩ the rites of a widower by SixStepsAway

When Wei Wuxian died, Lan Wangji was rendered a widower. It turns out, he's the only one who realized that — including his oblivious, clueless husband, who deigns to ask one day if his husband found anyone romantically while he was dead.

From there, everything unravels: after all, it's one thing for Wei Wuxian to convince himself he had sex with Wen Chao willingly when he didn't know he was married, and another thing entirely to think he did it when he WAS—

Lan Wangji is not impressed by Wei Wuxian's misplaced guilt and is fully resolved to helping him through his trauma.

Cotton Wool by incendir

4 times someone protected the yiling patriarch's virtue, and 1 time he did it himself.

this storm that should not be by TheDameJudiWench

When Wei Wuxian is trapped during a night hunt, Sizhui goes to Lotus Pier for help.

Or, a story about the homes we make for ourselves.

climbing up that coastal shelf by Sour_Idealist

Jin Ling had begun to suspect years ago that there were parts of his family history that had been crossed out; long streaks of black where Wei Wuxian had been. The truth is more like whole books being brought up from their hiding places again.

Or: Jin Ling tries to figure out what family means, now.

[alienbactria]

I just had an amazing idea, but it’s half baked so yeet. So I was lying in bed and just thought ... tma/hp crossover. It would be HP in modern times though.

So:

Jon and Martin have been peacefully living out in the Scottish Highlands for about a year now

They have a cat named the Cadet (this is important)

One day Professor McGonagall shows up at their door with a terrified 8 year old Harry

Jmart is confused but decides to let them in

They have a quiet dinner and the Cadet claims Harry’s lap

McGonagall then tells Jon that he is a squib and Harry’s only living, nonabusive relative (James is Jon’s cousin)

Jon and Martin kinda look at each other and immediately take him in

They set up a room for him, get the shovel talk from McGonagall, and now they have a baby Harry

Harry is extremely sceptical of his new parents for the first couple days, but enjoys his new life after

Once Harry is excepted to Hogwarts, he feels a little bit more confident and happy

Oh don’t get me wrong, everything still happens to him, but now he’s got a Spooky Eye Dad and a Spooky Fog Dad

They all love each other dearly

————————————-

I started a rough draft write, but idk if anyone would be interested

Fic Writer Review

Thanks for the tag @happygtyhvf

It’s all under the cut!

1. How many do you have on Ao3?

9 :)

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?

225,999 words currently

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Marvel, Harry Potter, Merlin, Voltron (regrettably), The Magnus Archives, Carmen Sandiego, The Adventure Zone, and Star vs. The Forces of Evil.

4. What are your top 5 five by kudos?

You're Looking a Little Stark https://archiveofourown.org/works/17503247

A Spider-man fic with identity reveal and Miles Morales.

Intuition https://archiveofourown.org/works/27536488

A Merlin fix it fic with Morgwen and Merthur.

I'm Back at the Beginning (And I Don't Know Where to Start) https://archiveofourown.org/works/26426935/chapters/64382827

A Voltron time travel fix it fic that is mostly gen with some minor klance.

Diagnosis and Prognosis https://archiveofourown.org/works/30573251

The sequel to You’re Looking a Little Stark where Peter gets sick.

Ampersand https://archiveofourown.org/works/26589424

A song fic sequel that takes place before Diagnosis and Prognosis and after You’re Looking a Little Stark where Peter and Miles just have some fluffy fun.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

The Train Yard https://archiveofourown.org/works/21245948 , I guess. This fic is mostly just horror. I don’t tend to write angsty endings, so as far as I remember this one is the angstiest.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

Yeah! Creation of Power https://archiveofourown.org/works/32983546 is the craziest crossover. It’s just Harry Potter and Merlin, but the series is going to get pretty crazy as it keeps going. I’ve already got it all planned out.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Just once on Intuition https://archiveofourown.org/works/27536488 I deleted the comment immediately, vented about it to some friends about how stupid it was. Then I forgot about it entirely.

It’s really stupid to hate on a fic, no one is making you read it. You didn’t pay for it. It’s just dumb.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope :P

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I’m definitely open to it.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but I’m also open to this.

13. What is your all time favourite ship?

I’m not really the biggest on shipping, and this kind of changes a lot.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

The Closet May Be Dark, But it's Safer Than the Monsters Out There is a 3 chapter coming out fic I wrote for Fitzroy Maplecourt from The Adventure Zone:Graduation to vent about how scary it can be to come out as asexual, because it’s much harder to guage if someone is ace-phobic than homophobic. I also wrote it because I knew they weren’t going to have him come out in character.

I wrote the first two chapters and decided not to post it. I had gotten what I wanted from it and didn’t really feel like continuing. I could finish it eventually, but I just don’t think I’ve got the motivation to.

15. What are your writing strengths?

According to other people, I’m really good at writing romance.

I think I’m really good at writing natural relationship building, be it platonic or non-platonic.

Also just executing concepts, usually I get the idea I wanted executed in a way I like.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Sometimes ideas will captivate me and I’ll fucking hate the source material, but the idea is so captivating that I have to ignore my hate for the source material as I write it.

I’m not wonderful at setting the scene. I haven’t really learned when that information is appropriate and when it slows don’t the action too much. It kind of depends. It’s definitely a skill I can get better at though.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think that it’s annoying if you don’t put the translation in English right next to the other language if you want the reader to understand it. It’s annoying to have to scroll down to the asterix in the notes and then scroll back up.

And if you don’t want the reader to know what it says necessarily, just don’t put a translation in at all.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Voltron.

19. What’s your favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Intuition https://archiveofourown.org/works/27536488

Ao3 tag game

Thank you so much for the tag @xanthippe74! This was really fun

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 36 if you count my unrevealed Fluff Fest fic

2. What is your total AO3 word count? 337,649

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? Omg, let me count- 15...ish? Depending on if you count my crossovers as separate fandoms? But it's mostly Marvel and HP content. However I've written for several Marvel fandoms

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? In Love With the Ferret, A Soft Place to Land, Almost-but-not-quite, Steve Rogers Turns 100: A Life in Film, Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not? I try! I jumped into fanfic purely as a reader and always got a thrill when an author responded back so I try and reply. That being said, I'm horribly late on so many and then my brain looks at it and is like "nope, this is more than one, we can't do this today!" So I certainly understand when other authors don't respond back to my comments. I just think it's a lovely system, either way and I try and do what works best for me personally, which is replying to comments like three months (or more) later

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Oh! I was going to say none of them, but then Xan's answer reminded me that I did a sad microfic. It's for The Winner Takes it All by ABBA which absolutely gutted me. I'm actually really proud of it but then I did like, NO MORE MICROFICS!!!! Even though I love them

7. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written? Omg yes! I love stealing plots!!!! heh Honestly, my first Drarry fest was LCD and it's become my favorite fest! I get to take other media that I love and turn it into Drarry? Yes please! Oh, I think my favorite one was turning Stucky into Dream Daddy for a Reverse Bang with the amazing @heyboydraws. The art is phenomenal and I had such a blast working with Heyboy.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic? Not...really? I'm a small fry in the sea of like, huge Yukon gold potatoes and it has honestly given me a good bit of cover. If people don't know who you are they can't hate you (insert man taping his temple meme)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes. I've written every type of two person, cis pairings (as a cis woman, I would need to do a lot more research and try and work with a sensitivity reader to write any sort of trans smut. I've read it and loved it, but I'm definitely not comfortable writing it without lots of work). I just kind of write things and fling them into the world and usually it works out fine?

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen? See #8

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Omg no but I want to! But right now, between my lack of time and motivation, it's all I can do to write fics for the fests I've signed up for. But I love to collaborate (I've done several Marvel bangs) and I would love to apply that feeling to writing together.

12. What’s your all time favorite ship? Omg that changes by the day. I get hyper-focused and the ship consumes me. Right now my faves are Newmann from PacRim, Jmart from TMA, and I always come back to Drarry.

13. What was the first fandom you write for? Stucky and good lord was it bad. It's on ao3 but it's REALLY bad! It's nice to see how much I've improved, but boy-howdy is it bad 😬

14. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written? Honestly, it's usually the last fic I've published? Which in this case is saying yes (instead of no), my Schitt's Creek LCD crossover. It's my favorite for a lot of reasons: it's recent, I feel like I did a good job writing it, I LOVE SC, I got to work with @static-abyss really closely and I adore them, I got to gift it to Ana because I adore them, I had so much fun adding Easter eggs, and I loved seeing how similar David Rose and Draco Malfoy are. It was so much fun to write and the feedback has been so lovely and it's great to convert people to the Draco is David mindset.

I'm going to tag @static-abyss @cibeewastaken @thusspoketrish @p1013 @ladderofyears @iero0 @glittering-git @evaeleanor and anyone else who wants to do this! There's literally no rhyme or reason to who I tag, beyond the user names I can remember off the top of my head.

My OCs: How they combine different universes.

I’ve just realised that one of my newer ocs has the potential for a crossover thing. flora(oc) is a mafia member who is related to Noah(oc) who is an archivist of the sixth borough, who is dating Icarus(oc) travel guardian for New York's magic centre. Since Icarus is set in a more Marvel background and Noah is more Dimension 20. Ive merged them into one universe. but also there is the whole MACUSA (HP) thing that crosses into it and that brings in 10 (ish) ocs from HP and 4 ocs from Marvel. And thats not even including the whole HYDRA experimentation ocs that bring Stranger Things and TVD and Encanto into the mix. Hades(oc) is a end avatar, which links Hydra(oc) into the universe even tho HP is already linked. From TMA we get linked to the mechs, where we meet Cass(oc). In HP, we get linked to Mae, who connects us to the PJO series. 

thats all i have for the moment

TLDR; 30 (ish) ocs are in the same universe without meaning to.

Hehehehehehe.

Well, don't mind if I do then.

First off, the tma/hp crossover "Terminus"?

I am SO curious about that one, cause since terminus is the fear of the end and death and everything, I'm guessing it'll have to do with the hallows? And the idea of death as the concept it is in tma being brought into the hp world give me brainworms.

(Tma in general give me brainworms, if you didn't notice the several liveblogs I wrote in, like, a week and how much I was losing my mind writing them. I did NOT sleep a lot at that time, ngl.)

Mate, I understand COMPLETELY and that's why you've hit the nail on the head: it IS about the idea of death as it exists in TMA being brought to the HP world. As well as all the other lovely entites in TMA!

The annoying thing about HP crossovers is that, more often than not, you'll see characters from other works being re-imagined in the context of the Wizarding World. But I don't want that! I want to think about Harry Potter in the framework of TMA! I want to reimagine Hogwarts and how terrifying it is and how sweetly it would feed all the entities! I want to think about which characters would be marked, or would become Avatars and about what that might mean for our story!

Some are easy, of course. Bellatrix is an Avatar of the Desolation if I've ever seen one. Dumbledore is an agent of the Web, as natural as breathing. Luna is clearly of the Spiral or the Stranger.

And Harry, well.

The boy is, at first glance, a wisp of a thing. Narrow shoulders and knobby knees, bird-boned beneath the large jumper that sits oddly and misshapen on his thin frame. The shock of unruly black hair on his head and his bright green eyes only lend credit to the almost fae quality of his movements, stilted yet graceful, like a newborn foal. To her left, a tape recorder switches on of its own accord, and Gertrude frowns. When she looks back, those bright green eyes are looking straight at her. Gertrude is no stranger to piercing gazes, to the sensation of being Seen and Known beyond reasonable doubt. She’s grown accustomed to them -- as much as anyone can grow accustomed to endless voyeuristic terror and paranoia. This is not a Knowing gaze. But there’s certainly something more to it; something that has her biting her tongue, staving off the urge to compel a statement. The boy walks towards her, motions unhurried, head tilted to the side in curiosity. His fringe moves as he does, and she spies the lightning bolt scar cutting through his forehead and brow, just shy of touching his eyelid. Ah, she thinks drily. Of course. The End, then.

#id wager that the magnus institute & its sister orgs are all aware of the wizarding world #and that gertrude & harry would know each other and he'd go into the wizarding world knowing about the fears #eve.txt #wip tag game #writing updates #asks

okay okay, guys, so I know we’ve seen HP/Batman and ATLA/Batman mashups and crossovers, with numerous discussions about which Houses the Batfam would be Sorted into as well as which elements they would bend. 

I raise you: the Batfam in the world of The Magnus Archives. Which Fear Entities might they serve? Which would they abhor? Which might they have been victims to? 

Let’s discuss. 

(If you’re unfamiliar with The Magnus Archives, it’s a horror/tragedy podcast. Highly recommend. For context, though, here’s some info on the Entities I’m talking about)

Bruce: He’d likely develop an association with The Web, The Eye, or possibly The Dark with an absolute loathing of The Corruption, The Extinction, The Desolation, and, of course, The End. He fights to keep these last four entities out of Gotham while utilizing his association with remarkably contradictory Entities (i.e. The Eye and The Dark) as both a detective and a cowled vigilante. If anyone could pull it off, he could. And does. I mean, Bruce goes out of his way to investigate and reveal corruption, crime, and other plots against the good people of Gotham, which The Eye loves, AND he skulks in the shadows and makes common criminals piss themselves when he comes to get them, all of which The Dark would thrive on. In any case, I imagine he’d resent any favor given to him by ANY of the Entities. The Hunt enjoys Bruce, too, as it would all the members of the superhero community, actually, in some capacity. Another point for The Web? For all the plans and contingencies he makes, he never plans to make a family. Kids just fall in his lap, somehow in the right place and the right time. The Web undoubtedly has a blast with Bruce. It gives him all sorts of plots to unravel while ultimately playing him like a fiddle.

Dick: THE VAST OMG. He’d both be a victim and servant, and I will not take criticism on this point. The Vast is fickle, I think, and Dick would be a perfect plaything for it. As we all know, this poor boy lost his parents due to a fall from the trapeze, and he might have fallen himself, had things been different (*cough cough* I see you, Mother of Puppets). I love fics that put Dick’s love of heights at odds with his trauma (again providing some evidence for a love-hate relationship with this particular Entity), but of course, Dick overcomes the trauma associated with his parents’ fall and rarely leaves his feet on the ground. Heights and open spaces are his heroin. They’re in his blood. He shares this love with the Robins who follow in his footsteps as well as other colleagues in the superhero community. The Vast feeds off their initial fear of heights/grappling/free-falling, or perhaps each heart-stopping reaction they have when they watch Dick do all these wild acrobatic things from high heights. But The Vast isn’t just about heights, is it? It also has to do with a fear of falling into obscurity or feeling insignificant in the grand scheme of things. And we also know Dick has this fear in ABUNDANCE (see as, his oftentimes rocky relationship with his mentor, as well as his desire to be That Shoulder To Lean On in literally every team he’s been a part of). So. Yes. The Vast. 

Babs: THE EYE. Her code name is Oracle. She oversees the entire Batfam operation. And is also an information hub for THE BIRDS OF PREY AND THE JUSTICE LEAGUE. Like???? This needs no explanation or further discussion.

Jason: Oh god. This boy. Okay. So. He is fascinating, and he’d be fascinating to pretty much every Entity out there, for both good and bad reasons, too. They’d have a field day with him. Let’s look at his death first. He technically escaped The End as well as The Corruption and The Buried when he was resurrected, bodily restored, and forced to dig his way out of his grave. I cannot decide if these three Entities would target him specifically afterwards for having escaped their clutches or if they would be sated knowing how afraid he was at the time of his resurrection. Either way. The Web, also, would have had a hand in pretty much every convoluted part of DC’s many Crises, one of which triggered Jason’s resurrection in the first place. BUT WAIT THAT IS NOT ALL. Jason’s been touched by The Spiral (because who else would the Joker serve???? Actually... lies. I might argue the Joker shakes hands with The Stranger sometimes too, but idk how well those Entities would work together). Outside of his death at the hands of an avatar of The Spiral/The Stranger (which Jason would experience intense fear/loathing toward), the Lazarus Pit is probably a co-instrument of The End (because the fear of death does drive men to seek immortality, does it not?) and The Slaughter (for obvious reasons). During his crime-lord phase, he may have some association with The Hunt and The Desolation in addition to The Slaughter. The Flesh would have loved his duffle bag of heads. Prior to forming a team of Outlaws, he’s likely also been touched by The Lonely. And ALL THIS after being mentored by someone who has an association with The Eye/The Web/The Dark. And having a brother so closely tied to The Vast. In the end, after the Pit Madness has worn off, Jason might have unintentionally found himself an avatar of The End, but I imagine all of the Entities would love or hate him (and possibly even consider him with the same fondness they would a pet that gets passed around between distant family members). He...has a unique relationship with each of them, in any case. 

Tim: WEB TIM WEB TIM WEB TIM WEB TIM. This boy was born to serve The Web. Though he very nearly fell prey to The Lonely, on account of his parents’ neglect. Prior to becoming Robin, he had to fight every day to keep himself from being consumed by it. Continuously lying and tricking his caretakers (as well as his parents) into believing he was alright by himself specifically to sneak out and get pictures of Batman was what initially drew The Web to him. After becoming Robin? Whoooo boy. He had free reign and excelled as a master strategist and manipulator. He violently rejects The Lonely, no matter how often it tries to draw him back.

Cass: Like Tim, she’s been touched by The Lonely. Unlike Tim, I like to think she’s made her peace with it and has learned to live in harmony with the mark it left behind. I mean, her father isolated her for most of her childhood and denied her the opportunity to learn how to speak and read. She had no connection to anyone beyond that. The Lonely adored her. Once choosing to join Bruce, she casts off her larger association with The Lonely, obviously, and learns to become a part of a family. Unlike the others in the family, though, she does not serve any other Entity and makes a point not to get too close to any of them, though she does have an uncanny understanding of each of them (and can identify their avatars, victims, and associated artifacts on sight), which puts her closer to The Eye than she likes to acknowledge. Her hatred of The End surpasses Bruce’s.

Stephanie: she’s the hardest for me to decide upon. Tbh, she’s probably a lot like Georgie Barker in TMA. Perhaps her shameless lack of fear/ability to focus beyond her fears makes her uninteresting to the Entities, maybe??? Will come back to her later. And will definitely accept any further thoughts on her.

Damian: The League of Assassins is all about new world order, right? Ra’s al Ghul’s main motivation is to save the world...while also destroying a good portion of it to do so. So we know Damian has grown up around ideals of The Extinction, The End, and The Desolation. After meeting Bruce and moving in to Wayne Manor, it’s hard to shake any loyalty to these Entities. His death and resurrection, like Jason’s, ties him further to The End, but after meeting Jon Kent, Colin Wilkes, Maya Ducard (etc etc) and actually allowing himself the opportunity to be a kid, he doesn’t really serve any Entity, does he? I mean, he probably defers to Bruce’s loyalties in the beginning and continues to do so while learning from his other family members, but he’s probably made no such commitments to any of the Entities himself. Dick’s tie to The Vast may have some impact on him, especially considering how close Dick and Damian are, but I doubt The Vast would have an interest in Damian solely because of it. The kid’s personality and The Vast don’t mesh. I bet Damian may, later, genuinely follow in his father’s footsteps and be a dichotomy by allying himself with The Eye and The Dark. For now, though, he’s a kid and deserves freedom from any Fear Gods.

Duke: you see the state the Joker’s toxin left this kid’s parents in?? Victim of The Spiral/The Stranger, without a doubt. I’m not as up-to-date on his current arc, unfortunately, so I’m not sure which Entity he would end up leaning toward outside of The Eye (by association to the others and due to his own detective skills) but his powers with light put him at distinct odds with The Dark. 

#batman #dc comics #the magnus archives #tma au #batman au #mashup #may add more later #but damn please talk to me about this #i need to see what other fans think #despite what i say i actually will accept criticism #and will happily discuss and hear all theories both agreeing with and contradicting me #this is an unedited mess i apologize #but i needed to get these thoughts out of my head

Interview with a fic writer

Tagged by @silvermagpies why would you do this to me I finish absolutely nothing

Name: Anais and LittleGemstone on ao3

Fandoms: God ok so most of these are going to be fandoms I started writing something for and then never finished it because I’m a terrible person. Like I’m not even in a chunk of these anymore lmao. Voltron, TAZ Balance, BNHA, RQG, Harry Potter (I’ve literally never been in the HP fandom and yet), the mcu, The Mechanisms, Into The Spiderverse, Carry On, The Faerie Chronicles (purely out of spite), The Fabled Beasts Chronicles, The Magnus Archives, Being Human UK, and does classical literature count as a fandom because I’ve got a thing kicking around for a crossover

Where you post: AO3, I used to post a bit on Wattpad but that’s all original fiction (as is the majority of my work honestly)

Most popular one shot: I’ve only posted two, so First Impressions Are Wild Sometimes because taakitz fics are always gonna be more popular than fan-statements

Most popular multichap: Slice Of UA Life by a decent margin. I kind of regret abandoning it because I know that there were people invested in it and I do like the concept, but I just didn’t really know where I was going with it and I kind of wanted to change the core concept a bit and ended up just not doing anything. It also made a couple of irl acquaintances find my ao3 which was hell

Favourite story you’ve written so far: Out of the ones I’ve posted, I’d say that The Red Paladin is my favourite. Like it’s a cringe fandom but the concept was sound. Unposted? The Mechs fic I’m writing is some good shit and might actually get posted at some point lmao.

Fic you were nervous to post: The Funeral because I hadn’t updated Slice Of UA Life in ages and I didn’t want people to yell at me for abandoning it. Also the later chapters of Slice Of UA Life because I knew that irl people were reading it and would talk to me about it face to face and I hated that

How you choose your titles: idk man I just do. Ok no, I try to get the vibes of the piece. So like. The Funeral is called that because It’s a fan-statement for tma and tma episode titles are short and to the point, so this had to be too, and it’s about a funeral but saying that doesn’t reveal the entire plot. The Red Paladin is called that because that’s what the fic’s about. God Fucking Dammit (the mechs fic) is called that because that conveys the tone of the piece.

Do you outline: If I know where I’m going, yes

Post things complete or in progress: complete if a oneshot obviously, but if it’s a multichap then in progress. It’s why 3/5 of my fics on ao3 are permanently unfinished

In the works: god where do I even start. I’m not gonna list all the fuckers kicking around in my drafts but I have: Eldritch!Lyf fic; elaborate crossover between Dracula, Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, Jekyll And Hyde, and Sherlock Holmes; a future!fic for The Fabled Beasts Chronicles; wildly canon-divergent RQG fic where Sasha becomes a pirate after escaping Other London, and I want to return to my soulmate au for Carry On at some point

Prompts: please god no I’ve got too many WIPs already I will die

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: God Fucking Dammit, the aforementioned Lyf fic. It’s real fun to write and I love its opening.

Idk who to tag but if you write fic and we’ve talked (either here or on discord) then I am tagging you specifically, I’m just bad at memory

#Kit why would you make me aware of all the things I'm not writing. #why would you do that to me
