fic: Alpha Centauri 7.5 -- Mutual Thing

[hth]

Mutual Thing
by Hth
part of the Alpha Centauri series

NOTES AND WHATNOT: I can't finish the freaking series until the new season starts, not so much because I'm afraid canon will screw me up (it always does, so why sweat it?), but because there's stuff coming up that fits so well into what I planned to do with 8 that it would be a crime not to use it. Meanwhile, it occurred to me that at the end of 7, I said some things were going to happen that, on further reflection, y'all might like to actually see happen, rather than just take my word for it. Thus, this bright and uplifting little breakup story, which takes place shortly before "Michael" and contains very minor spoilers for that episode and for "The Tower," as well as a whole mess of references to everything previous to this in the Alpha Centauri universe. Seriously, don't even think about starting with this one.

I can't believe I read thid without reading the Note first...b/c now the only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that you're talking about 8 and the little outtake future possible AU you posted a while back...and I may just hate you a little bit while still being utterly enamored with your abilities...maybe a little like John's feeling right about now??? ;-)

thank you!!!

I like to think John doesn't hate me...but truthfully, he probably does *g*

There really, really is an 8! And it'll resolve a lot of Ronon's issues and give John a chance to live up to his potential and genuinely be the good guy, and I think it'll be awesome when it's done. I'm sure there's no way to make everybody happy with the series (is there ever?), but I do plan to leave them all something other than bitter and miserable! *g*

LOL...i wasn't even going as meta as suggesting fictional character hating author :-) i just felt that john had to hate rodney a bit while still loving him.

and i'm very happy about 8 reassurance...and even if you break my and john's heart yet again...there's always the outtake which will become my personal way in the future they're all haoppy together...

OH, I didn't connect that story to this storyverse. I liked it when I read it, but... ::thinks::

Hmm. I like it as a standalone, but in that threesome it's all about Rodney, and in this series that somehow doesn't satisfy as an ending for me, although I trust Hth to get us readers to the end she chooses.
