AU Meme Revival

[awanderingbard]

I was reading a Sharpe novel today and, through a series of random thoughts, eventually decided I could move Sherlock characters into the Napoleonic Wars and have it mostly work. Which then reminded me of this meme.

The Hypothetical AU Meme:
Take any one of the fandoms you know I write AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc.) or a time period (Ancient Rome, Feudal Japan, Victorian England, etc). I will then explain what story from that fandom I would write for that AU.

I'm going to extend this to say any fandom you know I like, not necessarily write for.

The Dresden Files done via Victorian England

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

Connie Murphy has recently set herself up as London's first female private detective. Her first real case involves a young girl who has come to her as a last resort after the police refused to help. It seems her father recently spoke to her through a medium named Harry Dresden and told her that his death was not of natural causes. Skeptical, Miss Murphy nevertheless sets out to find the truth. Along the way, she utlizes her friend DI Kirmani of Scotland Yard and finds out there might be more to this Mr. Dresden than meets the eye.

Oooh! I love this idea so so much. Particularly the idea of Murphy being the first female PI who loops in DI Kirmani. I want to read this fic!!

I actually think, unlike the other Au settings I was given, I know enough about Victorian England to pull off writing it. *tosses it in the plot bunny cage*
