new ficlet in the epic universe! and some other things

[luninosity]

I leave for New York tomorrow! ~all the excitement~ But FIRST. Some fic. Here's a little timestamp I wrote for the McFassy Epic Universe, by request; here is also the AO3 link to the McFassy hurt/comfort domestic happiness that significantowl and I coauthored! Which was wonderful, and surprisingly easy, because she is brilliant. Also werewolf fic later today

It depends on the fic, really. Um, the one I wrote for you recently: "You've got the love" I imagined as taking place in the mpreg Michael fic verse (which might eventually turn into the D/s verse instead) where they've been friends since Band of Brothers and they'd seen each other other times besides the Vespa incident, Michael was there for James during some rough times, and working on XMFC together just made that friendship stronger, but it's not until about a month or so after the press junket for XMFC that James asks Michael out on a date. Michael proposes shortly before they start filming DOFP (I imagine that happening one night while he's trying to take care of tired James who's thrown his all into Macbeth and is still so enthusiastic about doing the play and Michael just can't imagine not being married to him for all that) and they've not really told many people yet (their families, Jen and the Sirs know obviously, but not many other people know yet because they don't want to announce it until closer to the wedding and away from X-Men things.)

This sound absolutely adorable. I also quite like the idea of it being the mpreg Michael verse--or, actually, a sub!Michael verse--because then you still get him being the one to propose, so he's not being feminized at all--he's initiating the relationship. If that makes sense. And I can also see them not wanting to announce it during publicity for the film--they both care so passionately about their work, and they'd want it to be about that, not their personal lives. <3

I guess I worry about mixing the D/s with mpreg, since majority of people still tend to dislike mpreg and I know there are a couple other people besides me who'd like to see a D/s verse with sub!Michael. I'd hate to keep them from reading simply because I included something I know people don't like. Though a lot of the stories would take place pre-pregnancy. Could set it as a series, that way the mpreg is only in that particular bit and not the rest.

And yeah, definitely about the separation of work and their lives. The friends that do know are close and important, couldn't not tell them, especially while filming together, wouldn't be fair (doesn't stop Jennifer from asking all sorts of questions like where and when and what kind of cake and flowers - basically acting wedding planner, Ian offers to officiate, Benedict will be James' best man, Liam will be Michael's of course.) James is also wanting to avoid as long as possible questions about whether or not he'll wear his kilt for the wedding and all the questions that go along with the kilt, it's their wedding, no need for people to be so concerned with his privates.
