I did a crackfic gift for Be-themoon, Snacky, Animus_wymris and WingedFlight. Leverage/Narnia xover. yes, really. Complete crack but with a return to the Evil Bankers and a bunch of dangling threads from Harold and Morgan Not A Romance. I was going to finish it up and get the second, concluding chapter done because The Big Thing I've Been Expecting Since November 2015 finally was released. Based on some sleuthing, we thought we weren't going to see it until March but, eh, so that's where I'll be the next 3 months. We got a 120 days to work on it.

I had tons of fun working on this and I'm really looking forward to the actual heist.  Because damn, trying to steal a lot of money from an island stronghold isn't easy when you have to use a rowboat.  There are a zillion spin offs here that are possible and I want to write all of them.  Morgan and Parker discussing exchange rates and being autistic; Parker talking to Rabbits; Hardison determining that Narnians use the imperial system of distance measurement but measure weight by "stone" that does not correspond to any known weight because Helen didn't bring a one pound anything in her pocket, Eliot and Lucy swordfighting (yeah, I lowkey ship it), Eliot and Cook discussing the introduction of precursors to baking soda and baking powder; and so on.

It's going to take me a while to get through these stories.  There are 39 of them of amazing quality.

To begin,

Fit To Be Tied, written for me, crack cross over in which, courtesy of Anansi the spider trickster, Susan romps through various fictional places dealing with a spider with a sense of humor,

The Rule of Threes Raid, also written for me, Susan is inserted into North Africa to mislead the Nazis about the upcoming invasion of the "soft underbelly of Europe" (a crossover with Rat Patron, which you don’t need to know at all), canon Narnia and my own The Stone Gryphon series

The Case of the Descending Debutante, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace, still with Harold and Alberta, post DT, invade Greece on a humanitarian mission with guest appearance by paratrooper Susan, is hilarious, amazing fun,

Chain of pearls (anklets of light) a beautiful, visual story about Eustace and faith as he visits India, and comes to see how elephants in Hinduism allows him to better understand the Lion in his own life, . Aspects of the Narnian fandom can be horribly critical of non-Christian belief systems, asserting that non-Christians have no business enjoying the Chronicles except as a path to Christian evangelization -- ironic given the popularity of the stories worldwide. For its respectful portrayal of another belief system, this story is multi-cultural gem and Eustace is the perfect voice and vehicle for it.
