Rating: PG-13/T
Word Count: 3,185
Fandom: Torchwood/Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Solomon, Ten, Donna, Jack, mention of the others, Idris/Tosh
Spoilers: Doctor Who up through Season 04, Torchwood up through 02, Mageverse
Warnings: AU like whoa, het (I know, right?)
Author's Notes: Major thanks to my betas totally4ryo and gingerlr, and to cjharknessgirl. This is for the completely charming, utterly understanding teachwriteslash who realized that my RL got a bit crazy. There's another a/n after the fic. I hope you enjoy!




Idris shrugged. 'Yeah, guess so. Sorry, did you say "Torchwood"? What's that then? Is that the new name for the Tourist Board?' Idris pointed at the stylized red dragon symbol on the small sign that read Croeso Cymru. 'Never learned much Welsh at school. Wrong generation.'
The older Englishman just smiled. 'So few people around here seem to be proud of their rich heritage, Mr...?'
'Oh sorry.' Idris offered his hand. 'Hopper. Idris Hopper. I work for the Council. So, probably should know Welsh, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to get by with the odd shwmae, os gwelwch yn dda, diolch, hwyl or nos da!'

Title: Cross Worlds
Date Written: 2/13/10
Rating: PG-13/T
Word Count: 8,113
Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood/Harry Potter
Disclaimer: Property of their respective owners
Characters/Pairings: Uh... Can I just say "EVERYONE"? Jack Harkness/Remus Lupin, Remus Lupin/Nyphadora Tonks, James Potter/Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasly/Hermione Granger, assorted Death Eaters, Order of the Phoenix Members, and various childlings.
Spoilers: The entire Harry Potter series, at least New Who 01, and a bit of Torchwood 01.
Warnings: Language, character deaths, deviancy of a Harkness kind (you saw the Harkness/Lupin slash, right?)
Author's Notes: Sometimes I think fandom is reading my brain. I was planning this before jantocam's first challenge, finished it up within a week, and am throwing it up before getting to work on some other things. Major thanks to my betas aikakone (for the Harry Potter and fic scrub) and gingerlr (who got to tell me if any of this even made SENSE). I'm claiming more DW than TW in this one since it's mostly set BEFORE Torchwood. All HP inconsistencies are blamed on myself for not paying enough attention when reading and for relying far too heavily on the Harry Potter wiki.

Okay, dudes, I know. It's been, like, forever since I've updated this and I'm sorry. I've been going through my final semester at school and I didn't want to mess anything up. You would not believe the fic I got lost on because I stopped reading my f-list. However, school is practically over, and things are falling into place just so, so hopefully this translates into FIC!

Now, a bit of gushing about the chapter: You know how sometimes you write something and it doesn't make sense at the time, but then a few hours later it turns out that the muses knew exactly what the hell they were doing and you feel like a genius? That's how this chapter made me feel. *loves it*

"Yes you are, you're brilliant!"

That's right, TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

Now, I've talked about it before, but here's a quick recap:

The auction is to raise money for Stacie Holeman, to help her cover medical bills from battling both breast and ovarian cancer because she's uninsured. You can learn more about the Support Stacie campaign here at the main web site, on Myspace, here on LJ (supportstacie), and if you're Twitter inclined you can follow @SupportStacie.

The auction is currently mulitfandom -- you can find the list of authors and fandoms here, or feel free to check out the offers avaliable.

The auction starts TONIGHT AT 11:59 CDT. Because of Daylight Savings Time, that is UTC/GMT -5.

There are some really great authors signed up for this (myself excluded, of course), so seriously, go take a look.
