Yeah. Grab the posts_request filter by the neck and swing it around
like you're slaughtering a chicken. Do any preliminary queries you
need to do, or modify the query as needed. Do your best Michael
Jackson Thriller impression, then return the query. WP_Query should
handle the rest. Eenie meenie minie moe, catch the_posts by the toe,
when Israel was in Egypt's land, let the_posts go.

Sorry, too much coffee. :-)
