Another HP crossover, but this time with a nonfiction work...

All Creatures Great and Small takes on an entirely new sort of cast when Dr. James Herriot is in fact leading a double life, treating both Muggle and wizarding creatures in the Yorkshire Dales.

Look, dammit, I have to finish John; I've got to work on the next part of Draco and Uncle Lucious; I've got Ira Dayan and Wayne Zhuang and Sergeant Preston and heck, even John Lyon, who's still waiting to go get certified as an Animagus. I do NOT need this idea, thanks.

I think Herriot/Lovecraft works better than Herriot/Rowling IMHO :-)

(I see the letters HP and I either think of brown sauce or Lovecraft...)

See, I was picturing something like this.

*phone rings* "Dr. Herriot, t'cow's putten out 'er-"
"What, again?"
"'fraid so. . ."
*fireplace turns green*
"Hold on a tic, would you?"
"Herriot, is that you?"
"Yes, Adam, could you hurry it up please, I've got a Muggle on the phone."
"All right, I'll be brief. Abraxian horse with wrenched wing tendons and a nasty tendency to kick."
"Aren't those bigger than my entire tool shed?"
"That's the ones. And this one flattened the last three Mediwizards to approach him."
"Urrgh. I'd sooner shove my arm up that Muggle's cow."

I would love to read this crossover!!!! I can't wait!

Oh. My. Gawd. Do it for me.... Pwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwease?!?!?!?!?

Says the Mer who read each and every one of those books, over and and over and over again as a kid. I lived to breathe Heinlein, L'Engle, Ruth Chew, and the Herriot books. Native animal rescue was my secret livlihood.

P.S. - I forget. How do you take your brownies? Nuts or no nuts (specify type). Plain chocolate, or with swirls of anything (peanutbutter, caramel, white chocolate chips, creme cheese, etc)

[camwyn]

Nuts bad, cream cheese good but not necessary.

I will consider the possibility of a Herriot/Potter one-shot when my writing schedule clears up a bit and when I have time to re-read the bloody Herriot books. It's been a few years.

*capers gleefully*

(Yeah right, like the thought of me greeting something else you might write with anything less than gleeful abandon crossed your mind. If you actually WROTE LotR/Discworld, I'd read the damn thing.)

"My arm was shoulder-deep inside the hippogriff as I gently palpated both horns of the uterus. Then...."

[camwyn]

Yep, got it in one. Man, was it just me or did every third or fourth cow in bloody Yorkshire squit its uterus out after calving? I can't even remember how many prolapses he had to deal with.
