I started what would become this story as an exercise in writing different perspectives, sometime during editing passes on my first HP/SR short. Initially, it was merely a mirrored-concept, in which Harry Potter wound up in the simulation, and helped punch Zinyak in the face. However, the image of a Harry adrift in the peculiar city of Stilwater wouldn't leave me alone, and I soon adapted to writing that, just to satisfy my curiosity as to what he would get up to.
Unlike my previous narrative, which was always envisioned as a one-shot (albeit rife with sequel potential) this story is open-ended, and I have no definite stopping point in mind. I suppose I shall stick with it as long as the muse has some kick left, and I hope those of you in this admittedly niche crossover fandom enjoy whatever I manage to produce. I am, unfortunately, not a fast writer.
The preface will be kept up-to-date with content warnings, though it should be taken as given that any interaction with the Third Street Saints is likely to stretch, if not simply overrun, the boundaries of good taste. No further advisory shall be forthcoming – you should be able to guess what you're getting into. Pride and Prejudice this isn't.
Our story begins in fall of 1998, over one year after the final battle in Deathly Hollows. Given the Saints Row timeline is an inconsistent mess, I have recodified it to suit my purposes, with the Boss awakening at summer's end. She has been at work rebuilding the Saints for some months, and the plot of SR2 is about half-elapsed. I have also taken liberties with geography, and what Pottermore considers magic around the globe. Readers may consider the original HP books and their presentation of European magic as canon, but safely ignore any subsequently released 'facts'…at least until I run into the inevitable unintentional fallacy that drives me into a ret-conning coma.
Potential narrative speed-bumps aside, it has been an education and a pleasure to stuff these two disparate worlds into a beaker and watch them react to one another. It has definitely tickled the mad-science portion of my world-building brain, and I hope the result is at least mildly entertaining to you lovely readers as well.
Without further ado, I present the first episode of 'Sinner, Savior, Saint of Stilwater' – in which the Boss dines out, talks to her lieutenants, and goes apartment hunting.
Have fun! - Synnifex
