sexonastick) the other day reminded me just how much I love Hogwarts AUs. I heart AUs of all sorts -- pirate AUs, space AUs, boarding school AUs, historical AUs, and so on. But Hogwarts fusion AUs especially are something I can never get enough of, and the last round of memeing just made me want more. I mean, wouldn't you want to read more about the adventures of Myka Bering, Ravenclaw Prefect and future Head Girl, and HG Wells, mad Slytherin (bordering on Ravenclaw) genius who just really wants to get into Myka's pants? For the sake of scientific curiosity, of course - she's only slept with a couple of Ravenclaws, and none of them female. And maybe some crack time travel adventures featuring a time turner, dinosaurs in the Forbidden Forest, one Pete Lattimer (Gryffindor Beater, Myka's best friend) and ickle Claudia (Ravenclaw second year, she just really looks up to Myka). Or the epic and unlikely friendship of Richard Cypher, Gryffindor Seeker, and Cara Mason, Hufflepuff Beater, forged after that infamous Quidditch match in which Cara hit Richard squarely on the head with the Bludger. Kahlan, of course, is the Slytherin Prefect, who is being relentlessly pursued by that slimy Rahl, Richard's half-brother and the current Head Boy. Then Nicci can jump into the fray and there can be SHENANIGANS, while Headmaster Zeddicus benevolently looks on and eats a lot. And so on. The possibilities are endless!*
* [I still want to write that Merlin Quidditch fusion AU, where Morgana Le Fay is Seeker for the Holyhead Harpies (even though her name or her surname does not begin with a 'G', and no, her middle name doesn't either, and NO SHE IS NOT CHANGING HER NAME). Her rivalry with Arthur Pendragon (who also happens to be her stepbrother)—currently Beater and Captain of the Montrose Magpies—is legendary, ranging back from their Hogwarts days (Arthur took great pleasure in aiming every Bludger at Morgana's head; however, Slytherin usually won). The Harpies, however, lost their British and Irish League as well as their European League matches to the Magpies the previous season, much to Morgana's dismay (which was further increased when the Quidditch Today only printed a tiny, five-page interview of hers and DID AN ENTIRE PHOTOSHOOT WITH ARTHUR). Apparently Merlin is that fandom I can't quite get over.]
And now I've gone and re-read a bunch of Hogwarts AUs:
+ The not toothache inducing adventures of Myka and Helena at Hogwarts bythedevilsheart: Adorable fluff that really, really makes me want to read A LOT more about Myka and Helena meeting at wand point.
+ John Egbert and the Goblet of Sick Fires by tigerpellets: Homestuck! With shiny art and Vriska playing an adorable cameo (among others)! A WIP I ♥.
+ No Glory Descends by gatty: Vriska-centric, in which Vriska is her very special brand of fucked up and heartbreaking. Aaaah.
Tell me about your favourite Hogwarts AUs, flist! What fandom should have more of them? Where would YOU sort your favourite characters? Who would play Quidditch? Who is Muggle-born? Etcetc.
