Extended Author Notes for Chapter
One
Read this chapter
first if you have not already at:
I'll be honest, I
wanted to write a Kara/Harry pairing for years even before I started
Aspirations. I'm glad I didn't. The Blood Brandy Vegas wedding
challenge just gave me the spark.
Much like
Spider-Man Chronicles, this will be based on a lot of my own
interpretations but people will be mostly in character. Characters
will only be introduced when the time is right.
We are in a
trilogy, therefore there is going to be a lot of long term build for
things that won't happen to much later.
Scene One: We're
setting a lot of the groundwork for where the universe is given
Sirius lived. I still stand by the belief that Harry gave up for the
most part after Sirius died and fell into that pathetic shell he was
in the last two books. Last two books had some interesting ideas, but
were very flawed. And there were things that did not match up with
the first five books. I blame the movies. That's just my opinion.
Hints
of the fun night are established.
We
meet Kara, well Harry got to know her rather well the previous night.
Kara is seventeen years old and obviously has a bit of an attitude.
Much like Harry, she's kind of in the shadow of someone more larger
than life(Dumbledore and Superman respectively). Something that she
may resent to an extent. Also much like Harry, she can get into
trouble but can be very resourceful if she's pushed. And she's very
head strong, can't forget that.
As
such, while we're loosely set in the DC Comics Animated Universe,
we're obviously in AU Land right now. So Kara is slightly the same
but slightly different. Inspiration has been drawn from many
different versions of her and other characters. We're based between
STAS and Justice League, which I think there was a year or year and a
half gap right there.
Kara
has no shame about sharing what happened. Of course, as we find out,
they're married, so why would she hold back?
Poor
Harry just landed in a situation where he's kind of in over his head.
He's married to this hot girl, but he barely remembers anything. Plus
the Prophecy is on his mind. Kara may be having similar thoughts
about how she might drag Harry into dangerous situations.
Scene Two:
Sirius and Harry conversation
was rather interesting to right. I think Sirius is really trying to
make sure Harry doesn't fall into a fanatical obsession with
Voldemort.
Harry's
attempt to find an out was more motivated by the fact that he felt
it's something he should do, not that it's something he wanted to do.
Harry
forgot Moony. And Sirius would be more upset about that.
Scene Three: Got
to establish a bit more that Kara is still rather new to Earth,
having been here for about two years. And she's inexperienced, even
if she's improving. The events of the Superman: The Animated Series
finale really had long lasting consequences. Perhaps there's a darker
consequence, as Darkseid might have gotten the ball rolling for
something in an alternate universe. Fans know what I'm talking about.
Superman
kind of freaked out. And Kara understands, but at the same time she's
very frustrated. More will be discussed in coming chapters.
Fluff
happens and Kara and Harry try and figure this out. They do kind of
have to make this work.
Oh,
that was kind of mean, Kara to nearly give your husband heart failure
and make him think you committed suicide. She couldn't resist.
Harry
would be kind of impressed by a wife that could fly without a broom.
Scene Four:
Livewire, not one of the more popular villains and kind of obnoxious,
but a decently powered first threat, as we conclude this chapter.
