in two worlds

[aria]

Things I am doing instead of writing my Yuletide:

+ writing post-Covenant Nick/Alan
+ writing an odd Highlander/Young Wizards crossover in which Nita is trying to figure out whether she needs to stop the Gathering, and also is having tea with Methos
+ reading more Vorkosigan books
+ talking about absurd Killjoys/RocknRolla fusion fic with feverbeats

Things I am not doing instead of writing my Yuletide:

+ packing

I still love my Yuletide! And I am over word count, so that isn't an issue. I just have this absurd notion that my Yuletide needs plot, and the plot is being rather shy. Ah well. How goes everyone else's Yuletide writing?

Yesssss. FEELINGS. I mean, I have been hashing out all my epic Nick/Alan feelings to Scott for the past two days, so I have many, many thoughts on them now, but you've basically covered it! It's just -- god, that scene where Mae tells Nick that Alan's going to betray him, and Nick freaks out and calls up a storm and then goes downstairs to confront Alan about it? Their conversation was possibly one of the most gorgeous things I've ever read in my life; and oh god, the bit where Nick says, "Betray me. Turn me over to the magicians, take the magic, do whatever you think you need to do, I don't care. But don't leave." I CLUTCHED MY FACE SO HARD. Oh, and Alan loves Nick best of everything in two worlds, and sometimes Nick wants to be human for him. *heartclutch*

Anyway, um, yes, OTP, quite a lot.

I also hear you on the Jamie front, though! Jamie is WONDERFUL. <333 And it's funny, because ... my shipping is sort of the opposite of your shipping! For the whole first book, I was immensely charmed by Jamie and adored all his scenes with Nick, and I shipped them really hard! Meanwhile, I was making a conscious effort to not ship Nick/Alan, because -- look, there's a reason I never watched Supernatural. (Okay, there are several reasons. But still.) I try not to ship siblings! It is one of my arbitrary fic lines. So imagine my relief when it turned out their relationship was much more ridiculously complicated than that!

So now I sort of want awful Jamie/Gerald instead? I KNOW I KNOW. /o\

(Oh, and also, if we're talking about all my ships: Mae/Sin, y/y/mfy?)
