To my Yuletide Santa

I've never done this before, so babbling may well ensue here.

First of all, thank you so very very much for writing something for me!

And now, because I really did babble on a bit, the details are ( behind the curtain )

yuletide, fic, fandom

Eeeee! You requested Coldfire? I feel just about the same about Gerald. I hope that's the one you get so I can read it.

Dear Brain:

"Wouldn't Wander simply adore Gerald Tarrant/Caolin crossover?"

Well, probably not. Let us talk ourselves out of this:

Caolin was a one-man man. Tarrant != Jehan. QED.
1. Well, yes, there's Ardra, but you're not fooling me, that's a play on the Alberich/Hagen motif. Cue the Wagner tuba.
Tarrant? Mostly straight. Not a Kinsey 0, certainly...but what? 1.5?
Now, what one can argue is that both saw themselves as defenders of their land.
1. ...with Tarrant succeeding where Caolin failed, to be sure.

I would utterly, utterly *love* to see Tarrant-Caolin (Tarrant/Caolin would be lovely too -- with the caveats you state ... but that could make the story all the more interesting....) They would so have things to say to each other!

By the way, may I snaffle the Westria icon?

Re: Random Aside: Dear Brain: lwood October 23 2007, 23:21:15 UTC

Feel free to snag the icon!

But--those are still sticking points for me. Why would either ever see the other as a rival and/or an obstacle?

Not that ever stopped a /grrl before, mind. But they are neither one of them stupid; how do you get them close enough for sparks to fly without Tarrant whacking off Caolin's head with his mucking great sword or Caolin sending a pack of lackeys to deal with the sorceror who's poaching on his Westria?

(as Tarrant is a more migratory fellow than Caolin)

Tarrant's interest could be piqued by curiosity, 'tis true--and that might cause him to dare Blood Gard where it broods on the slopes of the Red Mountain--which, not being a volcano, wouldn't bar Tarrant from working what, by Westrian terms, would be sorcery.

So: what could Caolin have that Tarrant could want?
