Woot! My entry for the Aliases ficathon is finally finished, and it only took, what, a month of writing and rewriting, and six false starts? Yeah.
yahtzee63, my dear, I hope you like - but if you don't, not to worry. I have two other nearly-finished fics who also fulfil the prompts and story requirements, but which I decided to leave off finishing in favour

This is great, and fun.
Though I'd also love to see the future-thing one of these days.

"Aye aye, Captain," and here the smile couldn't be contained any longer, "but don't forget to pack some travel sickness pills, though, to get you through those first few days of teething."
He did a fair imitation of a Mountie salute and Arvin burst out laughing.
"You're about as Canadian as the Parthenon, Constable Bristow,"
I love the end too! *smirk* This is truly a unique tale and you did a fantastic job! Here's to the Arvin & Jack love!

Oh, I am so relieved you like it! I was stressing out like a mad thing over this, and in fact have an angsty version of more or less the same scenario half-written - just 'cause I wasn't sure about the humour aspect either. It really isn't my strong suit, so I'm really glad you liked it!
I love the subtle little ways in which they're already manipulating each other and, above all, the way the disguise creeps into Sloane's thinking, making him feel like the captain -- that was sort of my hope all along.
*g* That's my latent Kirk fangirling coming to the fore there - and also because my daddy was a ship's engineer and the sea gets into your blood, most definitely. He'd come home on shore leave and look like he was surprised at all the green and concrete and people. And, also, that the house was very much mum's domain, not his. *g*

My favourite sentence, though?
In some cultures, that meant that Jack owed him his first-born.
This explains everything!

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it - I was massively uncertain about it, 'cause me and humour are like oil and other non-mixy things, but hopefully it worked...

Mwahahaha! It's funny, I only added that in as an afterthought just before posting it, and so the only person who got to read it was athena25 - who doesn't actually know Alias at all. So this is the only indication that I had that people like what is, for me, my favourite line of the piece. :)
