Plot bunny free to a good home...

[calime]

Thanks to the awesome pimping powers of sparklebutch I've been watching Buffy recently. "Halloween" was one of the niftier eps so far. Today in chat sparklebutch mentioned a Buffy/Sentinel crossover where Ethan sold something to Blair and I asked with half of my brain active and other half just lazing around: "What, did Ethan got investigated for illegal costuming?" And immediately on the heels of that came the realisation that it'd be a rather logical (crack, most likely, but who cares) story premise to cast Ethan as one of those travelling-between-universes magic-shop-keepers from the Discworld universe (or, to use the Discworld scientific term, taberna vagantes *g*). Especially if one proscribes to the third theory for the existance of those, which postulates that they are a very clever way of sidestepping all kinds of lawas that prohibit dealing on Sundays.
The sad thing is that even if I knew Ethan well enough, I am not able to write Discworld much in the true tone of books, and though sparklebutch has no trouble with Ethan, he claims that he only ever writes one Discworld character, and I don't really see... (well, I can see, but maybe we'll not go into the ideas about Death, Ethan and dam weir bridge). In short, there's a plot bunny embryo feebly flopping around on the table between empty beer bottles and teacups ... does anyone have some blood to offer to feed the poor creature? Seems mine is the wrong type...

A, stop pointing at me.

B, for the interested, the Sentinel fic in question is here and it's by janedavitt.

C, I didn't write Death, iirc, I wrote the Death of Rats. The Krycek bunny asked me to.

D, oh people, I call onto thee to take this bunny and party with it, because seriously, someone has to.

A, what's a girl to do, it's deserved, and also, fun. I can also stick my tongue out and invite you to chase and troutslap me.
C - You know, Death of Rats is really a tiny part of Death, that he allowed to remain separate. But, that's semantics, I suppose. The Death's household is adorable, the whole lot of them.
And E, if I happen get obsessive about Ethan's mouth, I will know where to point the blame.

C - as far as I can remember, Death and Death of Rats have slightly different speech patterns ;)

And, I never obsessed about his mouth. That bit is aaallll yours.
