I sort of really want to write 24 AU fic, where post-S6 Jack is recruited (read: blackmailed) to take on a special assignment in DC, and upon arrival he discovers it's a POW house arrest situation where he must play the roles of prison guard (to very indignant BUT STILL ALIVE Assad) and prisoner of the State simultaneously.
Wtf, self. :( Way to prioritize your artistic expression, pairings and fandoms. Someone slap my wrist or give me an Indian burn until I draw Michael/Ryan, House/Wilson, Belloq/Indy, or any other pairing someone might actually appreciate.
But oh, Jack/Assad. Jassad? Jackass! Their love was so star-crossed and NEVER MEANT TO BE. I still ship it, despite the obvs. difficulty of them having a fulfilling beyond the grave relationship.
I mean, just
LOOK AT
THEM (lol height difference).
But laksjdflajfljf, so obviously I lied about not having a 24 slash pairing,
firthgal. I'M SORRY. It's just-- it's hard, okay? I've been trying to divorce myself from them for a year, but they still hang over me like, I don't know, toxic nuclear fallout from a crashlanded drone.
earenwe or
mutant_cucumber, hold me, or see to it that I walk myself right off a cliff.
(A random bit of trivia for all you House fans: Kal Penn was a
terrorist in S6, and then he
died. Clearly it is the trendy thing to do in 24land.)
