Author's Note: An idea that refused to leave me. Not so much a break from "Without Question" as a diversion as I wait for my beta to finish checking everything over.
Description: [AU] Remus Lupin is sent back in time on a desperate mission to kill Lord Voldemort. From a present where he is the last Marauder, Remus finds himself once more eleven and attending Hogwarts for the first time.
An explanation of the story:"Crossing Bridges" is the first of what I privately call the 'Cliché Stories'. Basically – it's a personal challenge to myself to take what one would call a 'fandom' cliché (ie. travelling back to the time of the Marauders, abused!Harry, godlike-powers!Harry, accidents in Potions, transfiguration of a character into a baby, and various fandom relationships – such as Percy Weasley and Oliver Wood or Marcus Flint) and create a well written story revolving around that cliché. If I can manage some originality – all the better.
"Crossing Bridges" of course, is based on the "Hermione accidentally uses her Time Turner and ends up meeting the Marauders" as well as the usual "change the past" concept that turns up every now and then. The story is very much an experiment in writing styles, concepts and characterisation.
Any comments and criticisms would be greatly appreciated. If not – enjoy the ride.
Yours sincerely,
Tien Riu
