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.

Always fun to hear in the past fucking tense.
Ouch! Poor John, even if he is being a total idiot. Also, I had to go back and re-read the entire thing, just to get in the right mindframe to read this part. It was not at all a hardship. Thanks!

I am constantly amazed by people who tell me they went back and read the whole thing -- that's a lot of reading! Your dedication to the cause is awesome. *g* Also, I think "poor John, even if he is being a total idiot" is kind of the slug line for this entire series *g* Thanks for the feedback!
