I find doppelgangers fascinating both in art and literature.
One of the things I loved about the Witchblade TV show with Yancy Butler was its use of exquisitely artistic surrealism, often employing doppelgangers.
In the pilot, Sara Pezzini looks into a mirror, to see her dead friend, Maria looking back. The two women almost seem to mimick each other’s movements. Sara falls back on her bed in Static in almost perfect time to Lorelei, falling from a roof.
This was one of the reasons why I wanted to write a fanfiction cross over between Witchblade and Angel with Kate Lockley being not only Sara Pezzini’s long lost sister and a blood heir to the Witchblade, but someone who mirrored, echoed, and Sara’s experiences with the supernatural weapon.
I saw Kate Lockley, played by Elisabeth Rohm in an alley, hair pulled back in a ponytail, wearing a jacket in the Angel episode, Sense and Sensitivity. She seemed to mirror Sara in the pilot at the Rialto, acting as a doppelganger for her heart and rage. Both of them were going after an untouchable bad guy, on a one woman crusade other cops shrank away from, a crusade the bad guy wouldn’t tolerate.
The likeness struck my imagination and inspired me. I wanted to channel some of what I saw, the likeness of the two women into a story. The idea for the fanfiction, Sisterhood of the Witchblade came to me.
This story has been growing in my imagination for years, coming out in bits and pieces. I only just posted the first two parts of it.
It’s quite a task, channeling this into a coherent form, especially while juggling many other projects. It’s one that’s quite dear to my hear, expressing much of my love for the beauty of the Witchblade TV show. It also gives Kate Lockley a chance to fight back against a world which has gone insane to use Sara’s own words.
Kate fought the same battle Sara did. I wanted to give these two warrior women a chance to join forces.
This flight of fanciful fandom has been a long time coming. I hope its results intrigue you as much as it intrigued me.
Everything is connected in the Witchblade. This is often true for me in fandom as well. Stories overlap and spill into each other, becoming part of a vaster universe.
Enjoy the overlap at Archive of Our Own.
