500th post means 500 things
Voici my 500th post! How better to celebrate than by posting Narnia/Mary Poppins crossover fic about Susan becoming Mary Poppins's assistant, co-written with awesomefaces Betsy and Wyrm? In many ways, it is kind of a perfect summation of my fannish experience. This started as commentfic in separate posts, then we consolidated it in a whirlwind of excitement, and left it to languish for like a year.

Summary: "Come with me," Mary says, and Susan doesn't hesitate because this is the second chance she thought she'd already lost alongside everyone who could give it to her.
She has her umbrella, and they both have the winds.

-- SPN/Narnia. Anna's favorite person to visit is Susan Pevensie circa early 1950s. Sometimes Anna gets lost and ends up a couple of days earlier or later than their last meeting, which confuses the conversation, but not as much as you'd think. Possibly she takes Susan to see her siblings before they board that fateful train, and Susan straightens Edmund's tie and hugs Lucy and kisses Peter on the cheek. "I'm glad you made it," Peter says. Susan says, "May you travel well, your highness," just like she used to. There is the sound of distant mechanical roaring, and Anna says, "We have to go," and Susan takes her hand and closes her eyes.
-- SPN/Fight Club. When Marla Singer was a kid, she used to spend a couple of summers at Uncle Bobby's junkyard in South Dakota being bored out of her skull. Years later, here she is again: Bobby opens the front door, and Marla has a a cut over one eye and a knife in her belt, and she says, "I thought you were kidding about the monsters." Bobby says yeah, everyone always does. She stays because she has nowhere else to go. Marla learns about salt rounds and exorcisms and the end of the world, learns how to shoot. "You have a niece?" someone is saying in the kitchen one day, and Marla saunters in and there are three guys with Bobby: tall guy, smarmy dude, and trenchcoat man. She looks at her uncle and says, "You have friends?"
-- SPN/Lucifer. Before Castiel can raise Dean from perdition, he has to negotiate with Duma and Remiel. Remiel is a dick about it, but Castiel has always felt an affinity with Duma. I don't have my comics with me, and I don't remember the Remiel&Duma storyline very well; I just know I want Duma/Castiel. Mrin, this is all your fault.
-- SPN/X-Files. Set in Scullyverse in which Castiel was with Scully (or something) before he had to go be with Dean. TIMELINE CONTINUITY BE DAMNED, OKAY. After 5x16, he stumbles back to her and it's a little awkward, but they finally have relieved, long-awaited, day-late-dollar-short sex. (~*Her eyes look green in the dim light*~, natch.)
Some little bird told me it's fandom appreciation week. I can get behind those sentiments. Hey, fandom! I like you. I would even go so far as to say I like you a lot. Let's go for a malt sometime and write epic commentfic (LIKE A BOSS), OTP crossover ships (LIKE A BOSS), and swear that this fic is gen (oh fuck me I can't fuckin do it shiiiit). Seriously, guys, with your Giant Squid fics, and your sympathy for the 'villain', and your thoughtful worldbuilding, and your willingness to let joy get out of hand, and your furious shaking of shoddy canon until plausibility and/or glee falls out,
