The Made-Up Things

Title: The Made-Up Things: Deeper Magic from Before the Dawn of Time
Author: fire_and_a_rose
Pairing: Petunia + Lily
Rating: PG

I'm starting to develop a real crossover kick. I used to think that xXxHolic was the best series to crossover with anything, but now, with more and more really good authors crossing any and every fandom they please, there are some real gems out there, and some absolutely magical combinations. This is a Harry Potter/Narnia crosseover - once I saw Rose's summary: "Once upon a time, there were four children, whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. And then all that was left was Susan, who had two daughters. One was named Petunia, and one was named Lily," I thought OMG YES and proceeded to devour it. I mean, we all know Aunt Petunia is a sour old lemon, but seriously, how hard had it really been for her to watch her sister do magical things and go to a magical school and not be able to even touch any of that world? That makes me sympathetic to her (not to say her treatment of Harry is in any way excusable). The story was in turns happy and wistful, and when I got to the last line I was surprised to find tears in my eyes.
