oops.

I seem to have accidentally started plotting out a fusion/pastiche AU that literally no one has ever wanted, but what the hell. If I actually manage to finish and post a fic that isn't Yuletide for the first time in almost four years, it will be worth it even if no one but my wife will ever read it.

This post brought to you by the Brother Cadfael series, which I've been gradually rereading in its entirety for the past few months and, apparently, I'm now gonna Cherik it like it's 2011. Because what the X-Men fandom needs is a medieval mystery AU, obviously.

*facepalm*

I would read the hell out of a Cherik Cadfael fusion.

Cool, cool, so that makes like five of us total. ;)

Man, I haven't though about those books in a million years!

[kaydeefalls]

They are so great, though! They hold up pretty damn well, all things considered.

YES, PLEASE! Mutations would be great in a medieval AU - lots of potential for world building around whether the mutations are blessings by God or signs of the Devil (or you could have different sects disagreeing!).

[kaydeefalls]

I'm going with them generally being considered blessings, though not always entirely trusted. :)

Also, the weaponry of the time begs to have Erik fucking with it. I'm picturing him sending an army of knights in armor flying.

ETA: in short, medieval mystery AU sounds awesome

Good, I'm glad you understand the urgency of your mission, here. ::smiles winningly::

[kaydeefalls]

I don't even know, man.

[lilacsigil]

Well, I never realised that what the X-Men fandom needs is a medieval mystery AU, but now that you point it out...

[kaydeefalls]

Is what I'm sayin'.
