A fanfic crossover between Harry Potter and Bujold's Wormhole Nexus books. As Garrett repeats, if you haven't read the Vorkosigan books yet, why not?

Dave Ex Machina says Fantastic!

Here's a bit of interesting history on the Bumstead family in the Blondie comic strip, which you know if you read Mark Evanier or the comics pages in general is celebrating 75 years of Dagwood falling asleep on the job.
