Recommended for Sherlock Holmes fans, Cthulu Mythos fans, and people who need proof that Neil Gaiman is as much of a fan as us, albeit a very clever fan. This made my afternoon. :) -

Sadly unfinished, and looks like a deadfic, but nonetheless good for a laugh. Aziraphale finds a baby Cthulhu in Crowley's bathtub. Crowley succumbs to Cuteness Proximity. Hilarity ensues. -

It was the bathtub thing that got me, though - I have a teenage brother, and let me tell you, whenever I come home from college...

Did you read Gaiman's I, Cthulhu story? It's another foray into the Lovecraft universe, and it's just as great a read. It's aiming more for comedy than A Study in Emerald was, so there's not any Sherlock Holmes... oh, I'll just let you read it.
It mistakes Iä! for part of Shub-Niggurath's name and implies that the planet Yuggoth is an eldritch entity, but that's just my Cthulhuverse fandom talking, so don't take that as me disparaging the story itself.
(gasps) A mini-Greater Eldritch! Can I keep him? I've already taken custody of a few minis, but Cthulu just looks so adorable! Or, wait, do you want him? As his creator, you decide who he goes to. -
I'm not sure what to feed an Eldritch by

So I suppose you can have him. Let me know where he goes and whose brain he breaks. :)

It's a law of the multiverse. -nodnodnod-
I hear they also enjoy the brains of Sues, such as they have. Don't feed them too much, though; it's a very sugary snack and if they have too much they'll shed glitter all over HQ. -
Would you be interested in keeping him, Lilac? by

If you have some Sue-brains to feed him, he could stay with you. He's adorable and all, but I have enough trouble keeping the mini-Agents under control without fetching cranial matter for a tiny transdimensional horror.
What do you think, Cthulu? Would you want to stay with Lilac Lielac?
(Cthulu waves a tail-tentacle and yaps)
Oh, right. I don't speak mini. It looks like he'd be fine either way, though. -

Agent Kayla Morrison would prefer a mini-Aragog, but... ooh. Hmm.
She says, and I quote: "Some git with enough red and gold on to be the Gryffindor house mascot just walked in and he's carrying a writhing abomination. I think he's my long-awaited partner. ... oh Merlin's upper right eyetooth they put me with a Gryffindork?!"
... I think she'll be a bit busy for a while, but yes, I'll take Cthulu. A new agent of mine wants him. -

I'm not sure whether zombies eat raw or cooked bacon, so I made it both ways. The cooked kind is extra-crunchy, so I'll eat it if you don't want it.
