hey flist!
I feel bad, I have been neglecting - um, everything?
I picked up a few people at the YJ friending meme! I feel like I should introduce myself, but I am really super bad at introductions. Um. Hi, I'm Betsy, I'm working in New Zealand for a year before college, I like reading and writing and music and watching things and LADIES and superheroes (and ( Read more... )

You forgot to mention your habit of crossing Susan over with ALL THE FANDOMS. Alsoooooo Meto is doing regenerating Lucy for her Narnia big bang and it struck me that maybe that would still work in England ~but wonkily~ and she would turn into like Jack Harkness. AND THEN I thought, well, Betsy's Susan does not age much in England. AND THEN I THOUGHT, that is the Last Battle AU I would love to read. ETERNALLY YOUTHFUL SUSAN AND HER KILL-ME-IT-WON'T-STICK SISTER LUCY, ADVENTURING. I bet they would join Torchwood.

;aslkdhgd THIS IS THE BEST STORY IDEA EVER IF YOU DO NOT WRITE IT I MIGHT
who am I kidding I'll definitely write at least a little bit of it.
Susan is the one with all the contacts and discrete inquiries and quiet behind the scenes manipulation. Lucy bounces around taking bullets and "spying".
"Chasing someone down, getting shot to hell, and then hitting them until they tell you what you want to know is not spying," Susan hisses.
They have a lot of arguments along those lines.

Susan tries to be circumspect about their past, tries not to point out too closely that they look under twenty-five even though they are old enough to be grandmothers.
"The Blitz was scary, definitely," Lucy is saying to Tosh. "Of course we were sent away later, once Father decided even he couldn't keep us at home anymore."
Then again, sometimes she is not sure why she bothers.

Jack hits on her and Susan politely says no. Lucy is like "Oh well if you don't want him!" and Jack is for the first time in his life outmatched in a relationship for sheer aliveness.
Susan goes out with Tosh and Gwen for brightly colored drinks and girl talk. Unfortunately, most of her stories seem to end with, "And then I shot him," or some variant.

There are the stories that end with, "And then my sister shot him."
Afterward she decides to have a talk with Jack, but she is not quite sure what to say. "If you hurt her I'll kill you" is not very threatening, after all. She can't even say "Try to be safe" because they can both just regenerate.
"Remember that when you were saving England from the bombs she was still sleeping with a teddy bear," she says finally, but it doesn't pack quite the same punch since Jack only grins and says, "Really? Lucy tells me we were in war about the same time."
