GIP and a sad story

Tweaked the LJ colours a bit.

Now, I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you all a very sad story.
*ahem*
Once upon a time, not too long ago (when I was young and innocent), I had a cat. Yes, I have kept many cats. But she was a special cat. She was a gorgeous white kitty with a beautiful, beautiful orange tail (she had the best tail I've ever seen). She was not the smartest of cats, because she had very little practical sense. But she was also a darling - she would sit on top of the television and look down as if she were watching; she would wake me up in the middle of the night with a slap on my face because she wanted to sleep on my pillow; she would grab my pen while I was writing and insist upon sitting on the very book I was reading... And one day, she was gone! We looked everywhere, did everything we could - but she was never found. Maybe she lost her way somewhere (remember, she wasn't a very practical kitty), maybe someone took her away. I have never been able to get over losing her. *sigh*
Sad story, isn't it?
There is a point to this story.
scribbulus_ink asked a question on her journal about a story that you'd like to see written. My favourite story that no one has dared to write so far is a LFN/HP cross-over with Snape/Nikita (or Snape/Michael, if you prefer slash), involving love potions, the giant squid, Moaning Myrtle, and a number of fiascos. I have a feeling that if some kind soul writes this story for me, I may finally be able to get over losing my cat.
That will be all.
Harry Potter:
Hmmm. The one that immediately comes to my mind is a long, dark, angsty story featuring Snape and/or Hermione doing a Dr. Faustus (Faust). Snape/Hermione is optional. AU, because I doubt this can actually be fitted in canon.
LFN:
Post S5. Michael and Nikita in Section - dark, angsty and looong. No fluff, *absolutely* no happily ever after. Everyone trying to keep secrets from each other, everyone playing games and betraying each other - for proper reasons, of course. Bitter/bittersweet ending. Presence of Paul and Madeline is optional.
I can think of a few more, but I'll just post this one for now. *g*
So, what are your favourite unwritten stories?

I, too, am clueless about HP
Date: 2004-04-02 07:23 pm (UTC)What stories would I like to see written in LFN fanfic? Hmmmm. I'll join in the chorus and say more mission-oriented tales, with good, challenging villains. But those are probably the hardest things to write (for me, too), so it's no surprise we don't see a lot.
More Adrian and George would be nice -- and not the way we usually see them, as sweet old matchmakers for M&N, but rather in their full, twisted, megalomaniac-yet-still-genius glory. I'll join you in that A+G=OTP4EVA!!!!!!! cheer, Swatkat. *veg*
Quinn and the TTs are also sorely neglected. (Hint, hint, Cyanide.)

Can you tell that I get to say this quite often? *g*
As for George and Adrian, they are such neglected characters. Especially Adrian - I hate it when she's portrayed as the Senile!Matchmaker!Granny. Adrian is the kind of woman who'd remain as sharp and alert as ever even at 90 (had it not been for the Gelman process in canon). I'd really like to see a story of Adrian founding the Sections. It'd be even nicer if Daddy is in it.
