And now that that's all over, read my final thoughts on Inevitable!

This post has three things: An important safety tip on LJ, an Anita Blake/Buffy the Vampire Slayer summary, and a rambling dissertation on why I find it so damn hard to write Anita Blake these days.

Summary

I think I finally figured out a new take on an Anita Blake/Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover. More about that after the epic summary.

from averzierlia: The Darkness Inside (Anita Blake/Buffy)

In the Buffy-verse

( Everyone in St. Louis knows who she is.  )

Meta: And now, some thoughts on Anita Blake.

Those of you who have been around for a while will have noticed that I lost the enthusiasm for writing in the Anita Blake world a few years ago, soon after the Dear Negative Reader situation. I haven't been reading the latest AB books and have no idea what's happening in that world these days.

Unfortunately, this can happen at anytime, in any fandom, when the creative team behind your show/book/movie of choice decides to take the source material in a direction that doesn't gel with your take on things. I'm not saying they are wrong; it's their baby, they can do whatever they want with their stories. But as a fan, I retain the right to not be interested in change of direction. ( And more on this subject. Seriously, there's lots more )

So oh my god tl;dr - it's interesting how our interest or disinterest in source material can influence how engaged we are in fanfic.

I'm going to stop now.

She's really five now...

Dawning Light
A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Anita Blake crossover
Chapter Fourteen: Family Hour
by mhalachaiswords

Summary: Dawn fell from Glory's tower and into the portal. Now she's all alone and scared... but sometimes family comes from the strangest places.
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. Anita Blake belongs to Laurell K. Hamilton. No profit has been made from this fic, and the only benefit to me is personal satisfaction and the creative process. I hope you enjoy.
Rating: PG
Words: 6,625
Spoilers: Danse Macabre only, nothing from subsequent books.
Note: This is partly the Family Hour remix I promised a few years ago. Once it occurred to me to make it part of the narrative, I couldn't unseen it. I actually think this makes the story stronger, so yay. Previous parts here

( Dawning Light Fourteen: And then... nothing happened. )

HAY LOOKIE.

Chapter Thirteen: End of the World News
by Mhalachai

Summary: Dawn fell from Glory's tower and into the portal. Now she's all alone and scared... but sometimes family comes from the strangest places.
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. Anita Blake belongs to Laurell K. Hamilton. No profit has been made from this fic, and the only benefit to me is personal satisfaction and the creative process. I hope you enjoy.
Rating: PG
Words: 4,860
Spoilers: Danse Macabre only, nothing from subsequent books.
Note: All I can say is, this story is from Dawn's point of view, but the real story in this is the reaction of the adults. I've tried to keep it both true to Dawn and her view of the world, and how I'd react if I was Anita. Man, this story is hard to write.

An Inevitable short (AB/HP)
by mhalachaiswords

Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling. Anita Blake belongs to Laurell K. Hamilton. No profit made, etc.
Rating: PG-13
Words: 300
Note: Inevitable future-fic. Set four or five years down the road. No spoilers, just swearing.

( Life in the trenches isn't getting any easier )

And then I went crazy and wrote this.



Summary: No matter how long he searched, no matter how much he hoped, Jack Harkness never expected to see Grey again.
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own Torchwood. Laurel K. Hamilton owns Anita Blake. Crossovers own me.
Rating: PG-13
Setting/Spoilers: Set after Torchwood 2x06, "Reset" (the most recent episode in the UK, and spoilers for that due to a certain thing), and spoilers for characters revealed in Torchwood 2x05, "Adam". It's ten years "after canon" for Anita Blake, because the books started in 1994 and I say so.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness and Team Torchwood (TW) and Nathaniel Graison (AB)
Words: 9,035
Notes: Yes, I am going *there*. Author notes on this one are at the end of the story because I feel the need to explain myself for once.

( Jack shoved his hands into his coat pockets. The wet fingers of the inevitable downpour crept down his collar, and he wished, not for the first time, that the Rift had opened in the French Riviera, not rainy, dreary Cardiff. )

Chapter Twelve: Bad Girl
by Mhalachai

Summary: Dawn fell from Glory's tower and into the portal. Now she's all alone and scared... but sometimes family comes from the strangest places.
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. Anita Blake belongs to Laurell K. Hamilton. No profit has been made from this fic, and the only benefit to me is personal satisfaction and the creative process. I hope you enjoy.
Rating: PG
Words: 8,210
Spoilers: Danse Macabre only, nothing from subsequent books.
Note: So it's been about six months. Um, yeah. This chapter is a belated thank you to the lovely hsifyppah for the user time :) In this chapter, we go up, we go down... who knows where we will end up?
Setting: This little episode takes place after Christmas (Chapter 11) and after the Dawning Light outtake, Check Mate. That one, written back on Dec. 23rd, 2006, has some lovely foreshadowing for this chapter. You may want to read it first. Go on, we'll wait.

Sister, Lost
An Anita Blake/Sweet Valley High crossover
by mhalachaiswords

Summary: Elizabeth Wakefield has been looking for her sister for months, and this non-descript house in St. Louis is the end of the line...
Disclaimer: Anita Blake belongs to Laurell K. Hamilton. Sweet Valley High belongs to Francis Pascal and her horde of ghost writers. No profit has been made from this fic.
Rating: PG
Words: 1,385
Spoilers: None, really.
Note: Um.... yeah. I think I've finally proved to myself that I am insane. No crossover too strange... which you'd think I'd have gotten back with the Anita Blake/Lord of the Rings crossover. Enjoy!

( Elizabeth looked at the torn scrap of paper in her hand. The address, scrawled in faint pencil marks, mocked her with its finality. This was it. Her last chance at finding Jessica, of making sure her twin sister wasn't in trouble, wasn't in over her head... Of making sure her baby sister wasn't dead. )

*cough* Uh, yeah. Here it is.

A Harry Potter/Anita Blake crossover
by mhalachaiswords

Summary: A late-night run-in with werewolves in the woods outside St. Louis dumps Harry Potter into a whole new world of trouble. Now Anita Blake has to deal with a new charge as well as Death-Eaters come to town.
Fandoms: Anita Blake and Harry Potter
Disclaimer: Laurell K. Hamilton owns all things Anita Blake. J.K. Rowling owns all things Harry Potter. Only the story is my own.
Rating: PG-15 this part, because Jason gets some lovin'.
Words: 10,055
Spoilers: Spoilers for Half-Blood Prince, Incubus Dreams. Nothing for Deathly Hallows. At least not yet.
Note: Still Oct. 31, the longest day in Harry's life. Thanks to all my readers for sticking around. That Jason/Anita smut I was writing has been toned down and shoved into this chapter because I say so.

( Harry hurried through the Hogwarts corridors, lost so deep in his own thoughts that he wasn't sure if he passed anyone. He had to find Remus, he knew that much, but then what? )
