Summary:

The War in Europe is finally ending. Doctor Indiana Jones and Agent Peggy Carter have to make sure it stays that way. They'll need ravens, a flute and a sack of grain (or maybe a bottle of 1935 Chateau Latour Pauillac).


The reveals for the Crossoveringn 2018 challenge went up last night.  There are some wonderful stories in the collection, including several by Narnia/NFE/Twitter friends, including WingedFlight, FreudianCascade, Nasim, and [personal profile] syrena_of_the_lake .  I wrote the above Agent Carter/Indiana Jones xover that is not Peggy/Indy.  My spawn was a huge help and in the scene with the blunt and sharp, spawn was the one who gave me those lines in a text.  (I added the punching above weight class).  I had no idea that Indiana Jones backstory was so immense.  I was going to do Indy and Pegg and a Tesseract-weaponized Spear of Destiny/ Lance of Longinus only to discover that in mid-1945, Nazis in Ireland had already been chasing it with Indy and Dr. Jones Sr.  Who knew? 

No lie, I love this story with the passion of burning suns.  (and if you don't, please don't tell me and let me continue on in blissful ignorance).  It was a string of one glorious coincidence after another and I was able to weave in so many things I've done before (some of the source material for Rat and Sword Got To War, Maenad of the Maquis and my Narnia/Avengers xover all found its way into this work.)

ALSO, as posted previously, I received amazing fan art in the xover, Peggy Carter and Raiders of the Lost Tesseract  now revealed to be justanotherray as the creator.  It's not quite coincidental fan art for my own story, but it's all in the same glorious vein and I"m really happy with what I got and with what I gave and with how it all involved that shining moment in history where darkness was defeated. 

And in a week's worth of truly awful, it was nice to write someone unapologetically punching Nazis in the face.

Over and gone, but finally an update...
I got an AMAZING Marion Ravenwood/Narnia crossover!
Make a Plan Tomorrow (4506 words) by Amilyn
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: Indiana Jones Series, Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Marion Ravenwood/Colin Williams (addressed)
Characters: Marion Ravenwood, Mutt Williams, Susan Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie, Harold Oxley
Additional Tags: Crossover, Crossovers & Fandom Fusions, Grief/Mourning, Loss, Loss of Spouse, Loss of Parent(s), Narnia, Post-Narnia, The Problem of Susan, World War II, Post-World War II, London, London Blitz, Children, Toddlers, parenting, Misses Clause Challenge, POV Female Character, Female Protagonist, Female Characters, Bechdel Test Pass
Summary:

But men, good ones or not, did one thing. They left her. As a result, Marion had seen so much more of the world than most women her age. Hell, she'd seen more of the world than most women alive. Her experiences were diverse, including things not right for "polite conversation." She would rather know more than be limited.

 
This is an amazing story and I'm so happy that Amilyn has received the praise it is due. Definitely check it out and tell them how awesome it is. Amilyn wrote a wonderful Marion, Lucy, and Susan, and toddler terror Mutt is just incredible. What I especially love is that Marion is not necessarily really likeable. She is enormously sympathetic and empathetic but she's brittle -- and SO YOUNG. She grows a lot over the story. The depiction of grief is wrenchingly, achingly perfect.

I wrote an unsuccessful story for Killjoys. I'm not sure what went wrong as I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do and added a second chapter to push the point and more explicitly meet the prompt. My recipient was gracious and kind. The story just didn't work.
