Plot bunny (silly?)

[ffutures]

Very vague idea for a story in which Willow gets recruited by the Vatican to make sure that there is no magical intervention in the selection of the Pope, no magical spying, etc. She's the only witch they can find that's powerful enough and isn't a Catholic, hence more or less unbiased. Or so they think, they might be wrong...

Think it might work as a crossover with Hudson Hawk (the wacky papal secret service in that was fun) or Van Helsing (ditto, only with super-crossbows), or even Alias (the reason why they need her help is that the Rimbaldi device that protected previous elections was stolen by the CIA).

Not sure I want to write it myself, so if anyone else does please go ahead.

Given the Church's noted anti-gay bias, I imagine she'd have an opinion. Part of the plot may revolve around them not knowing, and it being somehow necessary to Willow that they not find out -- perhaps she's getting access to the Vatican archives in return, or somesuch, for the biggest Occult Book Nerd research party ever.

Just an idea... what about crossing it with the Jack Ryan books, having them worried about electing an American due to the influence of President Ryan? (Also, in The Sum of All Fears, Jerusalem was handed over to the Vatican, so there's a bit more at stake... ;) )
