[FF] The Wizard's Apprentice (Fate/Dresden Files X-over)

. . . It'd need refining, but it's not necessarily a bad plan.

It's even win-win. For a certain definition of "win," and given that Maeve wasn't quite suicidal, maybe, I think she'd take those odds.

Either she becomes an once-and-again goddess, or she throws a third or fourth part of Winter's power to whomever wins.

And presumably gets to control & fuck whoever that is.

[ringlhach]

Nah. She'd be too busy being dead, if you're referring to the bolded bits.

Is it weird that I hope we see Archer and this Shirou meet, if for nothing else, seeing him and Harry interact?

[hatori]

Nice update. Time to re-read this too.

[Kieran]

Normally, I disapprove of necro-posting - I understand the reasons behind it, but in general, I disapprove of it. However, since I admit I'm unlikely to ever continue this, much less conclude it in a satisfactory fashion, I'm breaking my personal rules, in this case.

Why, you ask? The answer is simple: because I've found a Fate/Dresden crossover that I find particularly satisfying, and I hope that it will fill the void for all the fans of this fic who otherwise are likely to go unsatisfied: "Fate/Hard Knocks."

. . . I hope you all enjoy it, and support this author so that he finishes it.

Thank you for your time.

So did you have any idea on how this was to conclude, like notes or anything?

[Kieran]

. . . As I recall, my end goal was going to be either having Harry dismantle the ritual while Shirou was busy playing stalking horse, or having the thing invalidated by ending in a draw - though how, specifically, I was going to go about that was something I hadn't fully figured out.

[warellis]

Ah.

Also I have to say, you're avatar kinda reminds me of Mab or Maeve in looks.

[Kieran]

Ah.

Sorry - I very much was making it up as I went along, so there weren't really any concrete plans, as such.

I can see why you'd think that - and the Umbra Witches are very much a counterpart to the Winter Court, in their home setting. They just happen to take after Summer in being the nicer of the two (as things stand, at least).
