all my keysmash are belong to you

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.

Title: Winds To Catch
Authors: animus_wyrmis, be_themoon, & lassiterfics. Because sometimes it takes three people to churn out 1300 words.
Fandoms: Chronicles of Narnia/Mary Poppins
Characters: Susan Pevensie, Mary Poppins
Rating: PG
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 crossovers I wanna read/write: Narnia, Fight Club, Lucifer, X-Files )

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,

ZOMG MERLIN SERIES 2 PRESS RELEASE ( \o/! )

Dear TV Santa, I want oodles of SIR SANTIAGO and ARTHUR/GWEN pls, kthx! And Morgana's past, and Morgana&Merlin magical duo, and LANCELOT/GWEN and Arthur being all like, "HEY, what are your intentions towards my foster sister's maidservant?" all suspicious and protective, except that role should probably fall to Morgana, and Lancelot has to promise to have Gwen home by ten.

Apparently 'Merlin' Series 1 is gonna be replacing the 'Kings' time-slot on NBC. Haaaaaahahahahahahahahaha.


I rewatched Mary Poppins and am of the opinion that Susan and Mary Poppins should hang out. (animus_wyrmis, this is your fault.) Maybe Susan is her trainee, or personal assistant, or maybe Mary Poppins just shows up on Susan's doorstep post-TLB because Mary Poppins just shows up wherever she's needed. She measures Susan with her tape measure and Susan measures 'alternately frivolous and stodgy'. "Hmm," frowns Mary Poppins. She compliments Susan on her posture though.

The carpet bag doesn't freak Susan out as much as Susan thinks it could have. She does resist looking inside of it, just in case she sees branches and a wintry landscape, but anyway it's impolite to poke around someone else's things. ( She leaves it alone, asks no questions. )

As much as I love the chimbley-sweep dance scene, all I could think about this time was how they were all probably gonna get the black lung. Speaking of unintentionally horrific things in kids' stories, there's this one Donald Duck comic that ends with several barrels of MERCURY exploding all over the Mexican countryside and all that the characters had to say was "lol it wasnt silver after all!" D-:!

Song of the day: 'So Blue' by Sino Sikat? Filipino R&B and soul.
