Quick rec for "The Three Gifts of Death"
Apr. 28th, 2008 01:24 pmI've just finished reading a short (5k) HP/Endless crossover by
gehayi. It's terrific. You can find it here. It's G-rated.
It's a retelling of the Peverell brothers story from canon, only fleshed out and made real. I love the spin on the characters, and I love how it's been written into the Endlessverse so seamlessly. Being a huge Gaiman Endless series fan, I was enthralled with the story. Definitely check this one out.
Prompt/Summary: Hermione was wrong: the Peverell brothers were not just dealing with a metaphor. (Discworld, Sandman, or any other fandom with an anthropomorphic personification of Death)
Excerpt:
So the three sought a spiderweb among the reeds near the river, and when they found one, they faced it, waved their wands simultaneously and shouted, "Pons!" And the spiderweb became a bridge of silver, slender, seemingly delicate and lacelike, yet strong as iron. And the three brothers—the two eldest congratulating themselves on their enormous cleverness, as Simpleton's contribution had already been forgotten—began to walk across the bridge.
