I bookmarked this a while ago and put off reading it for a long time because of the word count. Please don't let that deter you. If you like wonderfully imaginative adventure stories, steampunk aesthetics, ancient civilizations, allusions to Iron Man, new age mythology complete with rain forest jungle treks and crystal skulls, and a dash of veela heritage (that embodies its own mythology and looks nothing like its Slavic or JKR roots), then welcome aboard this wild ride. I think this was originally done for an AS/S fest. It's well worth a lazy afternoon read. It general aura has some small resemblance to
Survival of the Species by
romaine24 if you squint real hard. Enjoy!

Warnings: Cursing, excessive use of the f-word, explicit sex, substance abuse, violence, fragmented story telling.
Author's notes: This is my completely self-indulgent adventure fic. I have a mad love for steam punk, for weird gadjets, for adventures, treasure, and old civilisations. I finally got a chance to put all my loves into words and for what it's worth, I had a great time writing it [...] inspired by Stargate SG-1 and Iron Man. Credit to some of my lore goes to
dysonrules, thanks for letting me play in your sandbox darling! Thank you to my beta
kinky_kneazle who has been incredibly supportive and patient with me and without her this endeavour would never have been finished, also, to be quite honest, it wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun as it has been. Thank you, dear! ♥

Summary: Scorpius Malfoy has never been one to leave stones unturned in his quest for adventure, and he’s not about to start when it comes to finding a cure for his father’s mysterious illness. Albus Potter has his work cut out for him, making sure Scorpius doesn’t get himself killed or drive Albus around the bend. – A tale of adventure and civilisations long forgotten, where not everything is quite as is seems.
