Well, it's best for the remaining bits of sanity that you stay away from LoM.
Note that if you enjoy eating cookie dough, there is a proper way to eat without getting smacked with a spatula. Put it in vanilla ice cream and pretend you bought it, and then eat it, because it's perfectly normal to have cookie dough ice cream.
Cassie, I have completed your challenge! I present to you all a non-DMS mission:
Mission: Allies
Type: Crossover (DIC)
Fandoms: Lord of the Rings and Narnia
Rating: M15 (mild; rated cautiously)
Summary: Agent Sedri and her new partner, Agent Ketay, take on a LotR/Narnia crossover in which Susan is forced into marriage with Legolas. Beta-read by Trojie.
Read the mission here, at my livejournal. Comments and criticism are welcome.
That is a really nice DIC mission. It was very neat and tidy! Will Sedri be in DIC for a while now? That seems to be a very under served Department, in general, so it will be nice to be seeing missions in it.
When looking for crossovers I could use for this mission, I found very few that would work well, which is a good thing, in some ways, but leaves me without a clear path. I'm not sure I'd like doing only DIC missions either, to be honest. I may just throw both of them in Floaters and take as many non-Sue missions as I can find that interest me.
Cheers!
...meh, I know you won't disappoint.
Susan/Legolas, the nerve!
Indeed - where do these ideas come from? Do they put the names of all attractive characters in a hat and pick them blindly? Bleh.
Too bad there was no room for a painful death; I would've enjoyed that. It would have disqualified me for Cassie's challenge, though, so... ah, well.
Thanks for reading it :)
As I love all Narnia fans. Most of them. Some of them.
Er...
Anyways, have a kudos. It's a big cookie made of four different types of dough in quarters. Serves two people.
Actually, libraryofmoria does put all the odd characters into a random pair generator. But that's depressing to think about.
I have vowed to never, ever set foot in the Library of Moria.
On the other hand...
OOO! Cookie! I love cookies. I also love eating the dough when I'm not supposed to. This'll be delicious :D

Or you can do what I do and be the cook ;) But that's a good method - I'll have to remember it, if only so I can play Omniscient Parent and catch others out :P
That said, it's been years since I've had cookie dough ice cream. I don't think they sell it here at all. Ah, well. Pure cookie dough it is!
They probably do, but I'm talking about oatmeal cookie dough.
I just had porridge for breakfast, and it does not make for good cookie dough as far as I know...
I like this. Your agents are both just edgy enough around each other to make it interesting. And I adored that last line. Damn consoles...
And this fic. Jeeze. Honestly, what is it with Suethors and their belief that sex leads to love, instead of the other way around? I'm glad you killed it, I really am.
I don't know. Maybe they think that all love is blatent and obvious and any protests stem from social ettiquette or false denial? I really can't think of what else it could be; even if the most attractive man in the world treated me like that (and I didn't break some bones first), I'd never love him. Why must they mix up love and lust?
Wait, I know the answer to that one: Hormones. Bleh.
Anyway, I'm glad you like it! I had fun playing these two off against each other; the console was unexpected, and sort of wrote itself - I have a feeling that It Will Be Back ;)
Thanks.
I like this pair. It seems to me that most of their problems stem from a failure in communication, which is always a good way to inject some tension into a relationship.
Keep it up and I look forward to their next mission.

I think that's how long it's been since my last mission. Eeep. But Ketay and Sedri are fun, so hopefully not. And thanks :) I didn't want to have another pair in which one agent was inexperienced and the other playing mentor, and the communication failures just sort of grew out of that. It was fun.
Thanks for reading :)
Welcome to the ranks of the Untanglers! You lucked out--my boys have never had a mission go that smoothly. ^_~ I guess it helps that there was a minimum of the completely nonsensical, and that both agents knew what they were doing. Still, that definitely needed to be sorted out. There are some things that you just can't get away with in Tolkienverse, or Narnia, for that matter. The blasphemy against Eru really clinched it for me. {= P
I look forward to more of this partnership. It's kind of like two notes that are a little too close together to harmonize, creating tension. I enjoyed it.
~Neshomeh
And yeah, blaspheme against Eru and you're a goner. It was probably a pretty easy mission just because it was so short, but either way, an interesting change from the DMS.
I've been playing around with the idea of Ketay ever since I realised Sedri and Iza weren't going to work out as an interesting pair. These two... I like your description; it's rather more eloquant than all the scribbles in my notebook. Mind if I pinch it?
It was a nice change in pace from all the Sue slaughter (not like Sue-slaughter's a bad thing, mind you).
Though you'll note, I couldn't bring myself to leave out killing entirely, hence Agent Sedri's glee when she went after the bit character. Couldn't resist ;)
Anyway, glad you liked it, and cheers for reading.
Killing people is probably hard-wired into her brain by now >:D
No problem, it was a pleasure as always (I kinda read some of your other missions >_>)
Why do you sound... embarrassed? I'm happy to hear someone's still reading those besides me :)
And yeah, killing Sues is quite hard-wired, in me as well. I doubt we'll stay away from it forever. Or for all that long... But I'll try. ;)
Cheers!
Looks like Sedri (The character) might get use to tidy missions like this one.
