Feel free to chalk up to Liza having read too many futurefics on TF, and ignore.

I have no questions about any of your bullets--they all are true. Not just your universe but all universes.

Everybody's entitled to thier own interpretation. It's just some of these things NEVER happen, and that was starting to bug me. But thanks. :)

I do have slight problems with Stark comforting Chiana because they never had that much of a relationship together. Most of the time she just mocked him.

Well, yes. But (and this could just be me) I got a sense of a kind of shaky comraderie between the two - it comes out strongest in the scene where Stark is catatonic and Chiana's feeding him ("C'mon Starkie, C'mon..." "I don't remember him being like this." "*painful sigh* Nobody does."), and a bit when they're dealing with the Eidolon. I think the maybe got some bonding time when they went to get the Diagnosian. (In my little world, Chi talked about how much she missed Zhaan, Stark explained WTF was up with JQ, Stark apologized for being the cause of her blindness in a way, and Chi forgave him. I want this fic *SO BAD* Anyway.) There's also the fact that the last time Chi dealt with grief this bad was when Zhaan died, she really truly loved her, called her her very best freind, and that's a natural thought progression for anyone to make, IMHO.

I could see Stark offering (ala the end of PKWs where Chiana asks for the proper type of prayer).

...I am totally blanking on that scene. Help?

Yes, I'd love to see a story with John freaking about Grayza's baby. He never did tell Aeryn what happened on Arnesk.

To be fair, a lot of those exsist - it's just that in most of them Aeryn is *pissed*, often at John, and that doen't sit right with me.

I believe if there had been a 5th season we would have seen on-screen the Nebari invasion.

I still hold out hope for a Farscape Movie and/or another Mini. The Nebari are coming, the Nebari are coming. Be prepared.

You know that my POV character is John. I'm not particularlly a shipper because I don't really like Aeryn, but I love the friendships between the Moyans as well as the angst.

I rather like Aeryn, I just don't frelling worship her like a lot of folk seem to. And I *AM* a shipper, a HUGE shipper, just not as much a J/A shipper - not all shippers ship J/A, after all. :) And I *do* ship J/A - it's just not the be-all and end-all of my scaper exsistance the way it seems to be for the vast majority.

You provide so many jumping off places.

Thank you! I was just spewing, really. And even I probably won't get to all these plot hooks - though I can try.

I really didn't like Ricky Manning's future fic Horizons. I like your scenarios better.

...I'll be honest, I like mine better too, though I do love Horizons in a lot of ways. (Oh, and Rockne wrote Horizons, not Ricky.)

YES, by all means publish this on TF. I think that there actually are fewer fluffy bunnies than you think. I'll jump in and defend your ideas because they are very valid and interesting.

Well, with you and Kaz that's two votes - though I want to clean up all the f words first - there's some young'uns on there. :)

I love Chiana with all my heart. I always wanted her and John to have more "quality time" together.

I dunno, I always thought she and John got quite a lot - thiers was one of the well-develloped Ampersand (freindshippy) relationships in the show. But it's true, it's hard to get too much of a good thing. :)

The scene I'm talking about is when John as used the weapon and it is expanding and he is practicing his brinkmanship with Grayza and Staleek and it is coming down to the wire, Stark begins praying that Staleek gets the message and says "Peace." Chiana chimes in that she doesn't know enough prayers and asks him to pray one for her too and takes his hand.

Ah! I wondered if that's what you meant! I could *NOT* remember Chi's dialoge there, only that she took Stark's hand.

I know there are many types of shippers out there. Stark/Zhaan is beautiful too. I just honestly felt that TPTB threw that out there all of a sudden to spice things up. I was growing weary of Zhaan and I"m sort of glad that she got a boyfriend in The Locket. They were good together.

They *were* good together. I don't feel it came out of nowhere, but yes, it was HORRIBLY underdevelloped onscreen. You have to admit that once they were together, they were perfect for each other, though. :)

Anyway, I'll try to write that thing for you if my muses work.

Please, don't feel obligated! I just said that as a general wish to the cosmos, not a specific request! I'm sure someone will do it someday, even if that someone is me. :)

Ricky Manning didn't write Horizons. Rockne did. It was waaaay too sappy for Froon to write.

Oh god, it's so true. Though the amazing microscopic husband is crack-headed enough for it to be Ricky's. XD
