Fic here.
As previously recommended elsewhere in these forums, Jared "Skysaber" Ornstead's response to a challenge to Carrot-style SI into Gilderoy Lockhart.
Ow. My brain.
Seriously. Sadly, I'm discovering this work to be of the "trainwreck" variety. One doesn't want to look but, conversely, cannot look away.
There are a LOT of holes here, and a great deal of internal inconsistency. That said, if you take it as a crackfic, it's tolerable.
I "love" his use of dodgy, ethically-suspect magic while proselytyzing his particular branch of Christianity and claiming moral superiority. And yet, one of his first acts is to murder the Dursleys. Let's forget the fact that he calls Hermione Granger by name without ever being properly introduced or even having a reason for the person he's inserted into to know the First-year Gryffindor without raising suspicion. Harry's a given for just about everyone in the setting he's in.
And he CAN'T seem to resist turning every work into a mega-crossover. I've seen him set up an Addams Family cross and even set up a throwaway reference through Nicholas Flamel to the Smurfs. He also lays claim to a media empire based on "manga" based on his other fics and a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark, since apparently the Potterverse is bereft of imaginative pop culture or decent special effects tech in the Muggle world.
And he essentially neuters Voldemort within weeks of arrival, and sets up for a big fight against Dark Lord Dumbledore.
Other opinions?
