self, you really, really don't need to do this...

so, while i'm waiting for badgersathome to take a look at the Green Day fic, i decided to write down some of the ideas i had for a Mag7 fusion with Patricia Briggs's Mercedes Thompson universe.  yeah, this is another one where i toss a girl into a bunch of guys and watch the fur fly fun.  while the gdpfusion stuff is, well, an attempt at making Mary Sue a believable character (stop laughing, you guys!), the story i'm always tempted to start in this AU is trying more for an anti-Sue.  the main modern OFC, who i haven't named yet because i'm not completely committed to this insanity yet, is trying hard as heck to stay *out* of the story - but keeps getting pulled back in because the werewolf culture doesn't allow for lone female wolves. 

but also, i wanted a cool way to tie the OW verse with the ATF verse - something consistent.  Briggs's werewolves are essentially immortal - but a lot of dominants get killed in fights young, and they *aren't* indestructable.  Mercy herself says that Warren Cochran, at 150ish years old, is one of the oldest wolves she knows.  (She finds out later that a lot of the Marrok's pack is actually a lot older, but we're never told how large the pack is.) 

the other main thing to note: this is not an intentionally sexy AU like the Two-Blood-verse.  anyway, here's some of the background I came up with.

ETA: Moved the OC Character sheets to the next background post in this AU, which is locked as of 8/27/09 as I'm still working on it.  Will attempt to finish the character sheets this weekend.
