Hypothetical story meme

[resonant]

This is just the sort of thing I can't resist, and just the sort of thing that adds to my list of Stories That Will Probably Never Be Finished, but ... (taken from torch):

Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing and I'll tell you something about the story I'd write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)

1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School / College AU

I'll take any of the fandoms I've written in plus ... let's see, in the past year I've seen all three Men In Black movies, plus seasons 1-4 of Buffy and the first few eps of Angel (yeah, so late to the party that the house isn't even there any more).

Well, if in her own setting Pippi has a suitcase full of gold and is the strongest girl in the world, then obviously when she shows up at Hogwarts, she has a wand that can do anything and is the strongest witch in the world.

In fact, any Pippi At Hogwarts story is going to start out reading like the Mary Sueiest Mary Sue that ever Sued, as Pippi bests the Slytherins by being richer and stronger, bests the Gryffindors by seriously not being afraid of anything ever, and bests the Ravenclaws by getting to do anything she wants despite basically being functionally illiterate. (Pippi herself goes directly to Hufflepuff; any arguments out there?)

The only thing that saves her from making the story unbearable is that she is so.very.odd. In a wizarding world with Pippi in it, the defeat of Voldemort would get about two lines as the accidental outcome of an attempt to transform all the books in the library into peppermint sticks.
