I was asked last night for a summary of the crossover fanfic I'm working on, and I promised to post it to my blog. So, without further adieu -
The story starts in the HP (Harry Potter) universe when Sirius falls through the Veil. He does not die; the Veil is not a curtain into death, but into possibility, and he finds himself on a nomadic Caamasi ship, SW (StarWars) 'verse. To make a very long story short, he learns Basic from the Caamasi, takes up with the Corellian Jedi, from there moves on to CorSec, and from there becomes a bodyguard. The reason he is so exceptional at this is because the Force and HP-verse magic are mutually incompatible and cannot be used one against the other. Because he is a wizard, Sirius has a weapon/tool that no-one else in the 'verse has. Eventually, his job and unique talents bring him to the attention of Anakin Skywalker, who is having disturbing dreams of his wife's death. Sirius, or 'the Grim', is hired to protect Padme. When Anakin becomes Vader and heads off to Mustafa, Padme stays behind. This does not fit into Palpatine's plans, and he kills her. Unfortunately, he is so strong in the Force that the Grim can do nothing to prevent the murder; all he can do is tell Vader, upon his return. This engenders the largest Force-aided tantrum this side of death. Coruscant, especially the Senate, is more-or-less leveled for quite a ways around. Vader and the Grim take off, and the Rebellion starts a decade or so earlier, with Vader as its head.
Meanwhile, back in HP-verse, the Final Battle has been fought. Harry Potter is no longer an active part of wizarding society, having become something of a recluse. Vampire Severus Snape, who turned out to be Dumbledore's man after all, has changed jobs and is now working with the Unspeakables in the Department of Mysteries. The Veil, in particular, has caught his interest, and he studies it for a decade or so before finally going through. He winds up in Valinor, Tolkien/Arda-verse, some yen before the Treeslaying and the Years of the Sun. Drawn by the fields and interactions in what is essentially the closest thing to Paradise anyone from his world has seen, he stays. When Morgoth steals the Silmarils, he heads after them in Finrod's train, being too cynical - and Slytherin - to follow a hothead like Feanor. After a few decades in ME (Middle Earth), he marries a Noldo with some Vanyarin descent; a yen or so later, they have a daughter, Poldelle. In an orc raid, young Poldelle becomes frightened and darts through the Veil, winding up on the same Caamasi ship that once housed Sirius. As they cannot understand English, Quenya, or Sindarin, the Caamasi send for the Grim. Vader comes along out of curiosity.
Poldelle, after three or so days in the Caamasi's care, is slowly withering away. As a natural-born vampire, she can only feed from an immediate biological relative, and while she can eat other foods, her need for blood is rapidly overcoming her. Vader attempts to switch the focus of her bloodlust to him, reasoning that the midichlorian-rich blood, in such a direct transfusion, at such a young age, might give her both magic and Force-sensitivity, thus creating an excellent weapon to use against the Emperor. His interest in her is not wholly mercenary, however, as she appears to be about the same age as the twins would have been had they been born. The attempt fails as her inherently (due to her father) magical nature rejects the alien substance, but fullblown bloodlust has been induced. Sirius recognises the problem and detours to Myrkr. The Force-deadening ysalamiri make it possible for Poldelle to metabolise Vader's blood and form a new parent-child bond. Upon leaving the planet, the bond allows for the slow acceptance of the midichlorians and beginning Force-sensitivity.
Vader essentially adopts Poldelle, and trains her in the Force while the Grim teaches her as much magic as is possible without a wand. When Vader contacts Mitth'raw'nuruodo, Thrawn agrees that Palpatine's predations have grown out of hand, and the menace at the edge of the Galaxy is only getting closer. The mad Sith Lord needs to be put down quickly, but the Rebellion does not have any technical advantage. Thrawn becomes battle coordinator and strategist, sharing the leadership of the Rebellion, for all practical purposes, with Vader. Poldelle, as protege and daughter, is introduced to him, but he does not share in her training. The Noghri are found and allied with, and form an elite team of bodyguards for the leaders of the Rebellion.
Meanwhile, events are preceding apace in Arda, and in HP-verse Bellatrix Lestrange breaks free of Azkaban due to reduced security and untrustworthy Dementors. She has gathered together the remaining radical pureblood-supremacists and is waging a slow campaign against the Wizarding World. As a madman, she is not much of a danger on her own, but her team of advisor/controllers uses her reputation, propaganda, and political infiltration to slowly reinstate the anti-creature and anti-Muggle laws. This is more of a problem than it had been during Voldemort's reign, as the Wizarding World and the Muggle World have, for the past ten years, been living with complete knowledge of the other's existence, and the budding cooperation is still laced with insecurity, prejudice, and fear. The two governments, instead of merging, have remained entirely separate, and many countries in the magical community are still tremendously opposed to the eventual blending of the two worlds, or even simple cooperation.
When, in SW-verse, Poldelle looks as if she is about eleven years old - because of her Eldar heritage, her physical growth is slower than a human's - Q shows up...
But the story hasn't been entirely fleshed out to that point yet, and this summary is too long as is. Comments, anyone?
