*brain explodes*

I somehow have started imagining a whole alternative timeline set in the universe from Closet Idealism/The Little Dreams We Dream. First, people *glances at bessemerprocess* were suggesting a sequel in which Ivanova and Garibaldi send Bester to a very bad end, which is certainly fun to contemplate. Okay, I can deal with that; it could basically continue on from the last fic, and I can cope with linearity.

Then suddenly this plotty thing that involves political intrigue and a visit to Russia showed up in my head and refused to vacate. (I have a really cute scene involving Susan being all, "Snow! I missed snow so much in space!" and running around catching snowflakes on her tongue in my head. It's so cute it might give me diabetes. Although, dude, PLOT? WTH is happening to me?) And there's a comedy ficlet involving G'Kar and a baby. (A baby! I hate kids! I don't even like kidfic very much! Argh!) And then an AU version of the finale, of course, because this timeline just goes on forever. Thankfully, I have not managed to drag it out to the material covered in "Deconstruction of Falling Stars," because that would break my brain. Although now I have the line, "And Ivanova the Strong and Garibaldi the Cunning, who destroyed the diabolical Bester with holy explosives" running through my head, and dammit, I did just extend it into DoFS. The kid is definitely still there in AU!SiL, BTW, so I guess she's a permanent feature of this universe I'm building in my head.

So, yeah. That's been my night, in between reading The Mill on the Floss.* How have you all been?


* Maggie found religion and decided to become an ascetic. Oy. But there are hints that she's not fully committed to denying herself everything she possibly can, so maybe she'll come back from the brink! Although she's also apparently heading for a Romeo and Juliet-style relationship with a young man from another family, so this could be bad. But only if she figures out he's totally in love with her, which she might not! George Eliot is tricksy like that. I think that's why I like her.

You don't even know me a week and you''ve already joined the group of people who glace, glare, and point at me when plot bunnies jump them in a dark alley :)

I'm ALL FOR this little plot bunny. Holy Explosives! G'kar and a baby! Yay!

This WHOLE THING is YOUR FAULT, yes. :D (Although I posted this at fanfiction.net, and every review I've gotten has been all, "Sequel plz?" I just...I pretty much considered it finished and not sequelizable when I posted it, but apparently the rest of the intarwebs thinks otherwise. Obviously, I have come around to that line of thinking, but really, I did not start out that way at all.)

Holy Explosives!

It occurs to me that maybe I should change that to "holy hand grenade," but maybe that would be too obvious of a Python reference. ;)

G'kar and a baby! Yay!

Heh. G'Kar-in-my-head is currently talking about how human babies seem so undeveloped when they come out in the world, unlike Narn babies, who hang out in the father's pouch for several months until they're a bit more self-sufficient. Michael is listening to this with growing horror, and Susan is not even trying not to laugh at him anymore.

*sigh* They would've been SO ADORABLE together. Canon, why did you thwart me so??

[bessemerprocess.livejournal.com]

I more than happily take blame for this.

I can just see G'kar holding said baby, trying to walk it to sleep, and reciting the Declaration of Principle or Narn poetry or something, because this baby-talk that humans lapse into is incomprehensible to him and why not teach the child Narn from a early age?

(Actually, I'm sure Auntie Delenn would do the same thing with Adrenato. Susan almost falls over with hysterical laughter one day when the now toddler demands milk in Narn, and adds a please in Minbari.)

Canon. what canon?

ALL. YOUR. FAULT.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've decided. Eh, I didn't like season five, anyway, and I've hated Lise since she showed up back in S2 or whenever it was...

I can't help being insanely amused by the fact that someone as keen on the Victorians as you hasn't read The Mill on the Floss before. It took all my womanful restraint not to start spoilering you in your own journal. :P

[icepixie]

Ah, well, the thing is, I like Victorian history/culture/fashion/steampunk. I...really don't like Victorian novels all that much, except for those by Eliot and Hardy. Dickens, for example, makes me want to spork my eyes out, and Wuthering Heights is seriously my least favorite book ever.

I've only got about two hundred pages left! Thanks for not spoiling me. :)
