writing ponderings
Aug. 5th, 2013 01:44 pm yes, I did just do a quick-n-dirty keyword search on ao3 to see if anyone else had done this...
had a drought since I completed Daughter of the Dragonlord, aside from not-really-going anywhere future bits which normally involve a lot of angsting and spinning wheels as expansion bits normally do for me. I know they're crap, it gets them out of my head. (these were mostly Mithian going 'I'm marrying Arthur and ohhh shit how's Merlin going to take this no matter how much she's avowed that she likes me and has no romantic interest in my husband-to-be she's had his firstborn'.) Then wrote a bit of angst about Ben and Keira from my Infernal Affairs-MI13 verse. In desperation and wanting to write something that wasn't wheel-spinning angst, flicked through notebooks to look for those one-line ideas I sometimes write at the top of pages. This morning one went 'so, if we take *this* and add that old fic idea...'
Yeah. So pondering Exploring Officer Charles and Raven. He's an adrenaline junkie telepath! She's a shapeshifter! Back home they're the oh-so-respectable brother-and-sister Xaviers, mostly concerned with parties! Together, they gather intelligence in the Peninsular Wars!
And yes, Erik and Charles totally had a torrid affair back in London, only Erik thought he was a complete fop who he really shouldn't have been that fond of, given how shallow and spoilt Charles was and Erik's permanent outsider status in society as Eastern European Jewish. Cue him coming across Charles and Raven in a foxhole.
:headdesk: oh dear lord, now I'm suddenly getting bits from that original regency fic I wrote where the couple couldn't stop arguing in public but had got engaged in secret ages ago...
