It wasn't me; it was sallymn. :-) However I very much like the idea of Vila/Leela. I've written Vila going off with For after GP, so it's even possibly. ;-)

I don't much like Vila/Avon either unless their dynamic is different to what we usually see. I like to write them as friends because I think there's some grudging respect on both sides there that could work in a war friendship. The thought of Vila/Avon in S4 is dowbright creepy though; they weren't even the slightest bit friends then.

Oops, sorry about the misattribution. Fixed now.

No worries!

I am also intrigued with the idea of Vetinari/Carrot. He must know who Carrot is, and Carrot is a lot cleverer than people (excluding Vimes and Vetinari) realise.

Vetinari realizes who Carrot is in Guards! Guards! when he looks at Carrot's sword (which broke the "royal" sword). It's specifically described as a Trousers of Time moment. A look down another leg (I think Time's trousers must have lots of legs) could be really interesting.

It could! Especially since AUs are canonical in Discworld.

I tend to think of Carrot as Tim Bayliss, so my question is...what does Pembleton think about Vetinari? Because Tim places a lot of value on Frank's opinions.

I can't really see the Bayliss analogy, I'm afraid. They had their shiny innocence in common at first, but Bayliss was always a lot more troubled and emotionally fragile than Carrot. Being a cop broke him, whereas Carrot has got through it basically unscathed.

There is no season 4 - it is the figment of a diseased imagination (and I'm none too sure about S3 either).

I'm with you that Vila/Avon does not work. But if I squint I can see Vila/Tarrant (orchestrated by Avon).
