You can make Harry a perpetual. Then use that to explain how Harry come to be in 40k. He just lived it. He might have a large impact on the setting if he ever hooks up with the emperor.

I mean I think one of the reasons why Big E was so assholeish to his sons was that he was alone for the large part of his life and so didn't really understood them. If he had some other perpetual like Harry with him for a while he might have acted differently.

There is also the awesome part where they act as bro's. One of them is immortal ruler of the human imperium other is his court wizard and together they fight Chaos.

 

OH GOD, STAHP

 

Hrm...

 

Do shut up Holmes, I've no problem with the conversation, only the strange language :watson: (wtb)

 

HP/40k works....if psykers are witches and wizards, just turned up to batshit out of control.

Otherwise? It just doesn't work very well.

What would kind of funny in a cruel and unusual way is a crossover of HPverse with Buffy/Angel. We'll just say that Wizarding Britain gets ISOT to Buffyverse approximately in 1985 and deal with being the only wizards/wtiches of their kind left...and the new, shall we say, real estate opportunities?

This only works if American Magical Society just has no fucks left to give and, more rage inducing, nobody can make them. As in, large families have been the norm forever and keeps being the norm, immigration from Europe/Old World was fairly regular, if small and just enough to prevent severe inbreeding amongst those only marrying magicals, and consisted basically of near Anarchists, American Magical Society is only united so much as to defend North America from magical intrusion, and beyond that is disparate, occasionally warring factions/clans/states.

Otherwise, the Addams Family get strongly encouraged to quit the weird ass bullshit in front of muggles quickly.

Dealt with in about an afternoon/trivialized to the point that Hagrid keeps a few as pets.

 

Xander isn't able to talk Willow down at the end of 'Grave' and she exterminates the wizards/witches, right along with everyone else on Earth, using her insanely overpowered, demonic Temple of Proserpexa.

It always surprised me that the reaction to what she tried to do was 'send her to rehab'. Seems like the council would have been smart to have her killed immediately, on the off chance that another of her lovers gets killed and she tries the same shit again.

What's the penalty for 7+ billion counts of attempted murder?

 

I'm taking a wild stab and guessing ISOT means Island in the Stream Of Time (a term which, if you search for it on Google, will tell you nothing about what it means in this context).
Sometimes I hate internet acronyms.

Being spayed and de-clawed is, I believe, part of the minimum sentence.

I'm also still waiting for a really definitive HP/Bioshock (any of them) crossover.

HP/Incredibles, too. Can't wait to see the sequel.

I'd love to read a Harry Potter/Wicked crossover, but since I'm a picky SOB, it has to be one that...

1. Is not a shitty songfic that has nothing to do with Wicked, except that a mentally deficient Hermione is singing "I'm Not That Girl" because Draco doesn't notice her. uke:
2. Is based on the book, not the musical... which goes with point 1 (and also means Glinda and Elphaba aren't exactly the sugary sweet BFFs they are made out to be in the musical).
3. Takes place in Oz, not Britain. The last thing I want to read is Glinda and/or Elphaba going to classes at Hogwarts or worse, teaching them, especially if it's hand-waved that it was that way all along.
4. Isn't a clumsy attempt at a fusion, where Hogwarts is in Oz, and everything that took place in the HP books actually took place there. For me, a lot of the joy of the Harry Potter series is that it takes place in a modern setting. There are plenty of wizards mucking about in fantasy settings, medieval settings... When people slap Harry, his friends, and Hogwarts into a pre-industrial revolution setting, I just yawn. If Harry Dresden were doing his thing in Medieval Europe, would we give as much of a shit as when he's a modern, urban, wizard?
5. Is serious. No, I mean fucking serious - we're talking about the book where a newborn Elphaba bit the end of a woman's finger off, and a man spent the rest of his life traumatized because he got high and played catcher for a Tiger, on stage, in a shady club... yeah. And -again- base it on the fucking books. Elphaba is a social outcast with a mixed-bag childhood who is famous for something she'd rather not be and is fighting against a corrupt and racist government that tells lies about how she's crazy and evil. Sound even remotely familiar? If the "trio," just Harry, or even just Hermione ended up in Oz and found out about what was going on, tell me they wouldn't get involved. There's a story there, I'm sure.

So far, I don't think there's been a single HP/Wicked crossover that dwells on Oz a single second longer than it takes for the author to vaguely transport Elphaba to the HP world... and, in at least one case, have her change her name to McGonagall. :| They certainly don't take place in Oz.

 

What would a HP/Bioshock story entail? Harry waking up inexplicably to an eerie and empty wizarding world? Then trying to find out wtf happened?

I'd struggle through a story with so little dialogue tbh, but out could be interesting.

 

The fic could be take place during the creation or fall of Magical!Rapture rather than how the Games went. I'd read it just for Andrew Ryan!Voldemort though.

 

Once it gets finished I'd like to see an HP/Pact crossover. I think you could definitely use the vague idea that other nations have different magical systems some stories present but rarely expand on. Or Harry could be moonlighting as a practitioner without being anything of the sort.

And now I need to catch up in Pact.

 

Harry might stand a better chance in 40k were he armed with a Groinsaw. Just sayin'.

 

Without reducing Hogwarts to a radioactive glass crater with nuclear weapons I doubt you could deal with a Xenomorph infestation in an afternoon.

 

The original Alien is said to be the best movie of the lot. Singular.

 

Magic. Professor McGonagall will not have xenomorphs roaming the hallways, no siree.

 

Imagine a facehugger trying to impregnate Peeves. That would be a humorous scene for sure.

 

Oh jeeze, Xenomorphs take on aspects of their incubator...

 

I'd like to see a HP/Bioshock Infinite crossover.

Mainly because I really like the idea of Harry being a religious zealot, fighting against disillusioned noir Harry.

 

Yeah! And that's the best bit about them! Or imagine if one managed to impregnate the basilisk. Holy mother of God! Or a centaur. Or even worse, a dementor.

Gosh, my imagination is working overtime these days.

 

Xenomorphs are among the most overblown, overestimated, beneficiaries-of-PIS in the history of Sci-Fi.

Bullets, as in, smalls arms fire can kill them? They require directly overpowering their prey to reproduce? Yeah, they are slightly above Rage Zombies, and way below "All Shall Rise From Death" Zombies in terms of actual threat.

Which reminds me....

HPverse/Walking Dead. The TV series.

We'll say it occurs just as 5th year begins.

Day 3 of the Outbreak, nearly a million Walkers worldwide. Rumors of strange Inferi surface, reaching Voldemort's ears even quicker than it reaches the Ministry's and Dumbledore but not by much. Voldemort decides to investigate at approximately 9am. His Death Eaters locate a few, round them up along with a dozen Muggles. 11a.m. and Voldemort has deduced that

1. these are not Inferi
2. all victims return regardless of how they died.
3. destruction of the brain is a necessity, though decapitation will cause the body to cease motion
4. it affects wizarding kind as well, although wizards and witches are resistant to the bite.
5. transmission is determined to be airborne and fluid borne. infection rate is most likely near 100%.

12:30 pm, an Eagle arrives carrying a message for Dumbledore. The message is only twenty two words long, including formalities. Fawkes is sent to give the word around to the OotP, Aberforth first.

12:35pm. Lord Voldemort shows up at the gates of Hogwarts. The gates open up a moment later. He doesn't bother covering his face.

12:45pm. Lord Voldemort and Albus Dumbledore show up at the Ministry of Magic, side by side, wands in hand and duel their way into the highest office.

1:00pm. The emergency take over of Magical Britain is formalized, 30 envoys are sent across the world with Voldemort's findings, 20 with list of governments, 10 with a list of darker contacts and those of certain segments of society.

Became a plot bunny. But what happens next, in your opinions?

 

Any fic that has Voldemort and Dumbledore hat up against a threat would make me interested. Though I think we could do better than zombies. Say... Rift opens to alternate dimension. Lots of nasties pour through. Would give you lots of minor creatures like zombies or something similar, as well as things that would be a worthy challenge for even the best wizards in the world.
