Plot-bunny on crack: Harry Potter/The Avengers
I have been reading a lot of Avengers universe fanfic recently. (Philip Coulson is awesome! And Darcy Lewis is a sweetie.) But, surprisingly for me, I haven't read that many crossovers with movies or books outside of the series. One that I recently read was Finding Home, a crossover between Harry Potter and The Avengers, which pairs Harry Potter, Master of Death, with Tony Stark, ironmarn-billionaire-philanthropist-genius-etc. It's fun enough, but more to the point, it sprung a crack-plot-bunny on me.
Consider the final scene in The Avengers, after the credits. There we see Thanos, who is in love with Death. And then consider Harry Potter, Master of Death.
I kind of want to throw them together and see what happens.
Does Thanos see Harry as a personification of Death, and thus to be courted? (Because the look on Harry's face would be priceless. And the snark that Tony Stark could come up with if The Avengers are trying to defeat an enemy who is, in turn, trying to court a young married British man is mind-boggling.)
Does Thanos see Harry as a more successful suitor to Death, and thus to be defeated? (Which would probably get Harry to work along side the Avengers in order to defeat Thanos.)
Does Thanos see Harry as someone who has bound Death in an inappropriate fashion, and thus someone from whom Death should be rescued? (Because that could create a three-way conflict if the Avengers think they need to defeat Harry, too, in addition to defeating Thanos, who wants to defeat them both, with Harry going, no, really, I just want to live my life and not be attacked by either side.)
