(Benefits to him hooking up with Ivanova: they'd fight, get into a wrestling match, and it would probably end with sex.)
Your OTP really does hold serious logical advantages. My girl's high maintenance. I'm sure she drinks expensive wine on top of needing to be rescued from Psi Corps.
Talia/Sheridan is one pairing I hadn't considered. Hmmm.
I think... leyenn turned me on to it indirectly, because she wanted Susan/John/Talia, and then I started writing it (and the OT3 became OT4 because at that point really why not) and somehow John and Talia are on the same wavelength. (Plus, they're both FULL OF DESTINYYYYY.) On the upside, in my OT4, it would leave Susan and Michael together angstily fucking away their issues over having been in an OT4 for a while?
(Did I ever snippet you any of that fic? I can't decide if it's amazing or horrible. And the burgeoning feminist in me is wondering whether I've committed some irredeemable crime by making Talia's plan for averting the end of the universe to basically involve distracting everyone with sex, and she's sort of unclear about her reasons for doing so. I like my fic, but I worry I might be strung up by fandom. ;) (And, you know, Talia on the show is kind of a pawn always who gets violated a lot, so it's not entirely like I got this idea out of nowhere.)
kind of feel like Sinclair did that kind of thing because he was...not a pushover, but because he was REALLY INTO making everyone get along, and willing to do boring mediation stuff to serve that purpose.
Yes! You know, when you think about it, galactic wars aside, Sinclair probably served the station's original intention better. Although Sheridan had charisma to get people to unite, if a war didn't create itself for him, he might have made one out of boredom.
Maybe? I wonder if they've been appeased by the idea that Earth needs them for military purposes.
Perhaps. Or by the idea that they will only encounter them in certain situations. I wonder whether telepaths go hang out in coffee shops and stuff like normal humans on Earth, or if they tend to keep to themselves?
