This is like the most beautiful thing ever

Look at those voluptuous mermaids

I know you think your life’s just fine but when was the last time you had a friend so cool they made you a Chrestomanci Christopher Christmas Card just for you?

Posted with permission, and embarrassing amounts of lust for an illustrated fictional fifteen-year old.

“‘It never ceases to amaze me,’ he [Chrestomanci] said, ‘the way people always manage to worry about the wrong things.”

“Furniture.”

Conrad is trying to figure it out by observing the (in his opinion) more successful Christopher.

(But both of them are doing it wrong anyway.)

Christopher and Millie. In which Christopher tries to impress, Millie is fed up and I give up on trying to draw in semi-realistic style. Generic animu faces forever. orz

In a better world, there would be a bigger Chrestomanci fandom.

Wonderful little drawings based on one of my favorite childhood fantasy series, The Chronicles of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynn Jones

HELLO CHRISTOPHER.

So in my head Sherlock is a very powerful sorcerer with nine lives, which he only realizes after he wakes up in the morgue after the jump.

Eventually he and John travel around the Related Worlds solving mysteries. Sherlock himself doesn’t like the whole magic business that much, but it makes John all excited and happy, so he makes sure they go sightseeing. They both enjoy Series Five- John because of the mermaids, Sherlock because of the pirates and giant eels.

Oh my god, a Sherlock/Chrestomanci crossover, my life is made.

There isn’t enough Christopher/Millie fanart in the world. 

That is EXACTLY WHAT HIS EXPRESSION WOULD BE. 

Damnit, there has to be a movie.

I promise that I will eventually stop reblogging all things Chrestomanci, or at least slow things down to a trickle. 

The thing is that I get a really painful twinge in my stomach when I remember that some of my favorite books will never, ever, ever get continued. That I will never find out how Cat became Chrestomanci. That I will never see Christopher Chant grow up—really grow up into the Chrestomanci whom Cat meets. That I will never meet Millie again. So to assuage the feeling I search crazily for fic and fanart. 

There’s also something in the fact that, in most of Diana Wynne Jones’s books, children are often abused or mistreated or lied to, and that most of the adults surrounding them are characters you (and they) cannot trust. To add to my frustration that there are only so many books that I can read and reread, there is the feeling that somewhere Cat is still stuck, damaged by the things his sister did to him, damaged by her disdain and damaged by the utter lack of love, and because Diana Wynne Jones never wrote him fully healed, he will never actually be fully healed.
