So guess who just got addicted to Discworld.
Because clearly I need more British authors in my life. Good Omens, this is your fault.
Anyway, I just read through Men At Arms and Feet Of Clay when I started to wonder, what would happen if it was set in Sternbild. And then I wondered how Barnaby and Kotetsu would do in the Watch. And then I wondered if Vetinari would be one of those big-shots who's heck of a lot more powerful than the Mayor. And then I glanced at my magical girls mega crossover universe (also known as The Roulettes) and realized I wanted to write them, only as Watchmen. Or cops. And keep the magical elements of the Disc while combining it with Sternbild and a bunch of other canons.
Kotetsu and Barnaby would probably just. Be cops during the one-year timeskip because first of all, Kotetsu wanted to be able to still save people even if he wasn't a Hero anymore (and Barnaby would follow because goddammit, he is Kotetsu's aibou), and second, Kotetsu couldn't muster up the courage to say no to Carrot Ironfoundersson. (I imagine the conversation goes like this: "You signed us up for the City Watch?!" "Carrot asked me! Really nicely, too! I couldn't say no!")
And Vimes would still be his cynical bastard self, only somewhat more modern. And loads more cynical, because of the presence of Hero TV and all that nice stuff.
I may tl;dr on this on Tumblr soon, just you wait.
