Yet another writing meme. Procrastination, thy pseudonym is henna...

I'm about to spend several hours carefully not moving my head too much so I don't drip mud everywhere, so a writing meme while I'm pinned down:

::considers:: I suspect Aidan would have moved to NYC, which might well have kept Dani alive a couple months longer and making art longer than she did. (In house help to save Dani's energy would haev been a help, but Dani was trying not to tell people she was sick....) And once Aidan'd moved, and had a year of shopping dates with Rachel and sparring with Connor and chess and backgammon with Sol, Aidan might well have stayed in NYC afterwards.

Actually, that might have changed a lot, really, because Aidan might have stayed in NYC for a decade or so and not moved to Seacouver... at which point I don't know when she meets Duncan, or how, and what happens to Marc.

Neat question, thanks!!

Methos takes Owian's head instead of Conner. (I.e Methos and Aidan share the double quickening instead.) And what would this do to Duncan and Aidan since they both shared double quickenings with Methos?

And, what if Aidan and Methos didn't loose each-other for a few centuries like they did?

Well, for one thing, that would slow up how quickly Connor's hand heals. ::considers:: I don't know what it would do to Duncan and Aidan, but I think it might be one hell of a strain on Methos. I always got the impression from "Indiscretions" and "Rev 6:8" that he really doesn't like taking quickenings anymore.

Short term... I think Methos would have split off from the group even faster after the fight. Longer term... I think he might have vanished to Tibet, or Chile, or South Africa and just stayed gone until he had some balance back. The more I think about it, the more I think two double quickenings, with both the other people still alive, would be really rough.

And I have no idea what that would have done if Aidan and Methos hadn't lost touch. Might have been a lot easier on Rihana. Might have given Aidan somewhere to lean occasionally, given Methos somewhere to circle back to before he had Duncan.

::cheerful:: Interesting questions -- thanks!

In "Signal" what would Rebecca have done if the email contact hadn't worked?
