I was minding my own business, relaxing while watching Spirited Away, and this happened.

Title: Bathtime

Fandoms: Dirty Jobs and Spirited Away
Genres: Crossover, Crackfic
Disclaimer: I don’t own either Dirty Jobs or Spirited Away.

“I’m Mike Rowe. Today on Dirty Jobs, we’re at a Japanese bath house catering to spirits and gods. The hours are long and the boss is tough, but the clients are interesting.”

The camera panned around a main hall with employees and the visiting spirits going every which way. A woman’s voice cut through the din.

“Rowe! Get in here and clean this tub before I rip up your contract!”

“Yes, Yubaba.” The crew’d had physically dirtier jobs before but this one took the prize for unusual. And they still had to rescue Barsky, who’d been turned into a pig.

I'll admit, I loved this one.


Interestingly, I've kind of wondered about the names in Sen to Chihiro. Yu-baba and Zeniba make me wonder if either are supposed to be evocative of either Babi Yaga or Humbaba.

I got to the "stink spirit" scene and the drabble just popped into my head.

I don't know about Humbaba, but I've thought about possible connections between Yu-baba and Baba Yaga.
