    I wonder how locked in Transformer 'genders' are. Give Tailgate a smoother chassis and a different voice file and this whole problem might just poof away.

    With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Given how all the other Goa'uld generally acted- basically from birth, thanks to their genetic memory- I can fully understand the sentiment. Just not the smarts of even mentioning it while hanging around under his roof. Well, that's a good sign at least. "Well, you asked for teachers, not...

    Huh. The Big Plan is quite the dish to swallow, but the Secret Sauce makes it go down easy. (The Secret Sauce is mass killing.)

    Stranded (Harry Potter AU) (Complete)

    The adventure and escape was good, the relationship discussions are nice, but the place this 'fic really shines is how Harry and Hermione and everyone around them are dealing with the two's trauma and PTSD. Especially including the delicate art of getting across to someone that they do...

    Probably because it's a person- and thus potential threat- appearing with no warning, at a decent clip of speed, in a flash of sudden fire. Probably has the same reaction if anyone enters the room by banging the door open suddenly.

    Have you considered making an omnibus thread for your stories, so that people can follow your work generally? I've missed several of them when they fell off the front page before I noticed them.

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    I'm well aware of the history, and the myriad forms personal bondage can take throughout. But if you've got full-on legal government-supported chattel slavery,you don't need to go about hiding your operations as if you were working under a regime that outright banned such and actively worked to...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Hrm. Interesting overall, but one thing that just keeps bugging me, re:the slavery thing in Wizarding Britain, is that you've got a situation where it seems that slavery is illegal and there are well-armed, organized, and dedicated groups of law enforcement actively hunting it, but also legal...

    I can certainly see 'put fire out' being more useful than 'personally ignore fire', for most general life circumstances.

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Yup, section 4.7.2. Of course, this did nothing to discourage Hermione's kidnapping- because (a) Malfoy had already set it up and carefully removed his connections to the process; and more importantly (b) the low-level people that actually do the kidnapping and brain-wiping cannot be...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Um. I think that plan was "throw the Rule of Law by the wayside, go Full Vigilante on everyone he even suspects of involvement, turn himself in afterwards". Without the Big V in active play, the bulk of the 'bad guys' in Wizarding Britain basically only exist because Dumbledore's really...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Call up her parents and get them to implement the more paranoid summer plans. Or any one of a dozen other adults with both a high standing in Hermione's lights... and, in extremis, the actual authority to restrict her movement. Of course, you're right in that Harry isn't the one with the...
  13. RedX

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Yeah. The fact that she's an immediately available and extremely vulnerable target that's publicly close to Harry Potter, the memetic personification of everything the abductors despise, does not seem to have occurred to anyone. So she got grabbed the very moment she got home from the Express...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Only by sheer plot-induced incompetence. The fact that no adult bothered to explain the security situation to the fourteen-year-old is on them, not the fourteen-year-old. The fact that no person that actually called the threat correctly (all kids, in a classic Adults Are Useless moment)...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Getting a whole bunch of people that she likes and trusts truthfully saying "this wasn't your fault, this was ours, we were wrong and will do everything in our power to make it right" will go a long, long way, and certainly can't hurt the situation. Getting a whole bunch of people saying "you...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Nope. I just searched through the story again. His involvement seems to have consisted entirely of taking Hermione and Harry to the ministry, thinking "Snape readily acknowledged the necessity of seeing to the girl’s safety via the servant registration Potter had arranged, even to the point of...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    In her defense- and this should become a major point in her recovery and the after-action of the situation - that "every single source" you mention consisted of one emotionally immature thirteen-year-old and one seventeen-year-old, neither of which could be bothered to so much as pick up a phone...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Heh. They must be astonishingly dedicated to apolitical nonviolent means of reform, as they haven't... well, knocked over the government yet. They're certainly demonstrating several times the competence of any other organization we've seen. Still, I was referring more to the fact that they...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Perhaps, but we have yet to see it delivered to the proper target. So far, it's just been to a fourteen-year-old girl that is in no way actually responsible for anything involved in the situation. Her parents, for not taking the discussions they've been given on the situation seriously...

    With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Eh, no worries. The fact that it serves that function is simple knowledge; whether that's a good or bad thing would definitely get into political territory. Either way, it's definitely a strange critter among modern democracies, like several things the US does. Note that, even when the US...
