Double Fanfiction — Two for the Price of One!

The Witch Lebowski: A Double Fanfiction Tale

I think the title says it all, but for an explanatory background (which I recommend starting with), click here first (link stays on Medium).

The following tale is a work of fanfiction utilizing two completely different yet highly beloved worlds: (1) the Harry Potter universe, created by J.K. Rowling, and (2) the Big Lebowski universe created by Joel and Ethan Coen. The tale below is original, in that I made it up and wrote it. Most (but not all) of the characters are original, as well (although the tale certainly uses some familiar characters from the Harry Potter series). Feel free to Google any names here. If they’re real Potter characters, you’ll find them discussed online. All other characters and events are completely fabricated by yours truly. I’ve tried to keep things generally as faithful to each universe as possible (aside from the new/original characters).

Tilly Lebowski and The Philosopher, Stoned — Year One (2002–2003)

Our story opens with a broad, sweeping view of a Scottish loch surrounded by gorgeous dense greenery and giant billowing clouds. There, on some unnamed ancient stone outcropping overlooking it all, a mid-40s man walks into view — mousy hair, bright-though-melancholy eyes, a young-looking face.

“Oh hey!” he says, perking up considerably. “It’s so nice to see you all. And if you’re the audience that I suspect you are, then I should begin with an apology. I feel awful that most of you were likely expecting the old stranger I’ve heard so much about — that white-haired, western-talking, sarsaparilla-swigging cowboy everyone loves so much.”

He paces around, looking for words to continue with. “Never met the man,” he explains. “Though so many have told me about him. … Wish I would have, though. I mean, who knew I’d become a narrator? Certainly not me. I could have used some pointers!” He laughs.
