I loved Harriet Walters when she played Ms. Vane in the Lord Peter Wimsey series, so I was very happy to see her. And I secretly craved Roslin/Lee in BSG, so my brain was already wired to think of him with a female authority figure. And I got to thinking about how hot and wrong it could be. Because they'd both be afraid of how sleeping together would make them look--her thinking it would look like an abuse of power and very aware that, while older men with younger women look virile, older women with younger men just get thought pathetic, and him both somewhat satisfied at the idea of giving his female boss a good seeing to, but worried about coming across like a punk who sleeps with his boss to get ahead--and the trajectory of a thing that starts out as lust and both people unexpectedly find comfort in it too but end up having to let go of it because of their fears totally turned my head.
((sigh)) Don't you just wish you could borrow a Time Turner and write all those fic ideas you have to shelve because of time constraints? :)
Anyway, my take on that wasn't OTP at all, really. But, for the reasons you state, James/Alesha could totally be OTP. And oh, they both deserve that rapport and mutuality they have at work to cross over into good sex and happy time together just relaxing and admiring each others awesome! I recall the actor was fucking EPIC on The State Within.
And he has that thing where gorgeous blond men get sexier when they've got a bit of wear on them, some lines and winkles, rather like Daniel Craig and Simon Baker.
