An unusual rec, for me

[emmagrant01]

Rec'ed to me by littlesnitch. I'm passing on the crossover love!

Title: Blame the Hyperdrive
Author: Luminous Marble (luminousmarble)
Rating: R
Fandoms: original trilogy Star Wars and Harry Potter!
Summary: Harry/Luke, with a smidgen of Hermione/Han on the side. Humor.

Review: So, I hate crossovers. I really, really hate them. And I only read this one because littlesnitch sent me the link personally. Oh. My. God. If you love OT Star Wars, and you love HP, you just have to read this. The characterizations and the dialogue are simply perfect! As a person who loves both fandoms, I actually found myself continually confused about where the fic was set -- it wove the realities that well! If you're into both fandoms, you should read this. If you've ever pondered how much the stories of Luke and Harry parallel each other, you should read this. Aw, hell, you should just read it, period. It's short, it's funny, and it's great!

Hmmm, I read "Blame the Hyperdrive" months ago, I wasn't terribly fond of it then, and the re-read didn't help. Two reasons, I think. First, I would have liked a bit more "stuff" out of the fic, as though it didn't really show enough. Shallow. Second, I can only take so many lightsaber euphamisms in one short fic. There were some funny lines, but it just didn't hold up for me.

Do you know any better HP/SW crossovers?
