a perfectly logical conclusion

So NEW VORKOSIGAN BOOK INCOMING, right, so iulia and I were talking about all the trivial silly things we want from the book, updates on various babies and love lives and so on, and moved from there to pining for A Book All About Aral Vorkosigan In Which Aral Vorkosigan Does Not Die, and from there, naturally, to:

Aral Vorkosigan/Jack Harkness

I mean, it wouldn't last but a night or so, but god damn would it be a memorable night.

Particularly if he's in that uniform, because Aral is attracted to soldier-types. *nods sagely*

[dira]

Right? Aral would be constitutionally incapable of resisting Jack. And particularly if it's in the pre-Cordelia period when Aral was all twisted up about things... Jack would be such a relief, and maybe even good for him.

[flamebyrd]

Bonus points if that is the tactic that Jack takes, right? "No, no, it'll be good for you!"

[dira]

Oh man, seriously! Although there would be a very narrow window of opportunity when that argument might have any effect. *g*

[ellen_fremedon]

So, you're writing this, right?

I still want to see Jack shag his way through the Dendarii. Actually, I want to see Jack shag his way through the entire Vorkosiverse.

[dira]

ahahahaha OH IT'S WORSE, NOW I HAVE TWO BUNNIES. For Aral Vorkosigan slash. And they are thematic bookends.

*weeps for lost ... something*

[reginagiraffe]

No, no! It's a *gain*! (Well, a gain for *us* anyway. *g*)

[fairestcat]

*wants almost as much as the other*

Actually, they really do go quite well together thematically...

[dira]

BOOKENDS. I have given them working titles from the same song. And now I have to figure out how to actually write them...

Aral Vorkosigan/Jack Harkness

*dolphin noises*

Oh MY. What a wonderful idea. Aral would have no idea what hit him and, I suppose, neither would Jack.

[dira]

Right? It might prove enlightening for both of them, in their own ways... *g*

[oliviacirce]

...I think all I can say at this point is that I'd read it. Also, your brain is an amazing place full of wonder and glory.

[dira]

My brain is full of something, all right... *g*

But, thanks for the vote of confidence! I seem to have a title and possibly a first line, now.

Miles was still fairly young when he realised that Uncle Jack was sleeping with his mom *and* his dad. He didn't think anything of it, because he liked his Uncle Jack and whenever he visited, his mom and dad seemed to enjoy themselves.

It was always after, when Uncle Jack left again and nobody seemed to know when he'd return next, that he thought maybe it would be better if things were different. They should move to Beta Colony and they could all three get married and be happy.

And it would make Aunt Alys would be happy, because she seemed to always be angry at Uncle Jack for being a bad influence on his cousin, Ivan.

[dira]

Ahahahaha, oh dear, Ivan and Uncle Jack. The mind boggles!

[epershand]

Wow, that idea is awesome. Canonical bisexuals FTW.

[dira]

If I could just figure out the transition from idea to words, I'd be all set. *g*
