the mummy: coincidence... and fate, by UrbanAmazon
Edit: apparently I had already rec'd my previous link, Small Favours, so here is another Mummy fic to make up for my poor memory :p
FANDOM: The Mummy (1999)
FIC LINK: Coincidence... and Fate

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 12643
MAIN CHARACTERS: Evy Carnahan O'Connell, Rick O'Connell, Ardeth Bay, Beni Gabor, Jonathan Carnahan, Colonel Guizot
FIC SUMMARY: What if Rick had been a medjai from the start? One decision sets the adventure in motion, but the thing about decisions is that there's always more than one option to choose. Some things unfold differently, yes, but some manage to fall into place like the tumblers on a puzzle-box key, turning round and round until things go click.
RECCER'S NOTES: A canon-divergence AU which interweaves amazing possibilities into the existing story we already know. The humour and characterisation here is amazing -- I especially love Evy, and Rick and Ardeth having to work together with differing levels of faith in their journey together.
There is a smidge of Evy/Rick, or at least the fic ends with the implication matters will take off in that direction, but the main course of the story is on Rick as a Medjai, and how it may have impacted the story and other characters he comes into contact with.
Really clever, and really great characterisation. :)
