Challenge #1: Crossover
Title: Misfortune
Fandom: Howl's Moving Castle/The Dark is Rising
Rating: G
This was actually written for another challenge on the Dark is Rising drabble comm where you used the opening line of another novel. It works for here too, so I thought I'd share.
In the land of Ingary where things such as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three.
Will thought it was a greater misfortune to be born the youngest of the Old Ones in any land, but he did not really think it wise to mention this to Mrs. Jenkins. Or Mrs. Pendragon or whatever name her husband went by in Wales.
He knew she wasn’t really as angry at her husband as she said. But he didn’t voice it. He just sat and watched her complain.
All he could think was that she must really love the man, to put up with the things he did.
