FOREWORD

Sometimes, stories are easy to write. And other times, they fight you. One of the bigger cases with the latter has been my attempt to get an Elden Ring crossover off the ground.

To be sure, I did write and post a oneshot, The Snow Witch and the Boy Who Lived, but that was a mere vignette. I wanted a more substantial story, one that would hopefully do some small justice to this wonderful open-world Soulsborne game, a masterpiece created by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George RR Martin.

Eventually, after much discussion with my sounding boards of Arawn D Draven and Dis Lexic, both of whom I have to thank for being tolerant of me, this story eventuated. It's one that I hope will give some further expansion on the various characters in Elden Ring, as well as be a good story for you all to enjoy. There may be others in the future, though I can't guarantee that, but for now, this is it.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, there will be spoilers for both Elden Ring, and the Potterverse.

Secondly, there will be annotations, heavy annotations, and bellyachers will be treated with all due contempt.

Thirdly, for language, violence, horror and sexual references, this is an M-rated work.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Harry Potter and Elden Ring are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Radahn will fall on you like a meteorite…
