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.
Although if her scene in Susan's quarters is anything to go by, she provides her own wine.
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.)
Mmmm, the magnetic attraction of the touched by Vorlons destined. That would be fun.
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?
\o/!
Did I ever snippet you any of that fic?
No! But it sounds awesome, and I would love to read it.
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. ;)
*shrug* I kind of figure anything with sex in it gets you a free pass from fandom. But then, I'm coming at this from the completely irredeemable position of fluffy het-writer, so my impressions may be skewed. I'm sure my Ivanova/Garibaldi series commits a thousand and one fandom sins.
(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.)
Exactly! It would be completely in character, which IMO trumps all ideological opposition. ;)
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.
Sinclair truly did serve the station's purpose better, but yeah, gotta admit, Sheridan is a lot better for making people follow him into battle. I think possibly he generates some kind of charisma mind control.
Or by the idea that they will only encounter them in certain situations.
Oooh, that too.
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?
Good question! Perhaps they have secret Psi Corps coffee shops? Maybe not. I bet they only go out for the bare minimum they can get away with (grocery stores, etc.), and then spend the rest of the time working, by themselves, or with other telepaths.
