This. I mean, i see so many people who are like "oh, Alek's going to get over it and fall in love with Deryn in five minutes!" and I just give them the side eye.

His reaction in What You Are is perfect. Depressing, but perfect.

And the more fic the better, as I say. ;D

For smut, i'm not much of a smut fan, but I'm like... the only person on the internet who isn't, haha. I'm sure you'd get a big audience for it.

Yeah, I mean, Deryn's instincts are usually pretty good, but the girl has a massive blind spot re: Alek's reaction to her secret. He will NOT be happy. AT ALL. I could totally see him finding out within the first few chapters of Goliath and being broody about it for the rest of the book.

but I'm like... the only person on the internet who isn't, haha

LOL I'll tell you, the only reason I'm considering it is that I was looking at 'How to Train Your Dragon' fic and GEEZ there is a lot of smut for that fandom. So it makes me feel slightly less gross for thinking of writing pr0n about teenagers. LOL

Yeah, she's all "oh he'll get past that no big deal". I feel like she's going to be surprised by his reaction to Goliath. I can not see Alek taking this well, even before Scott gave that little spoiler.
I have a feeling he's going to find out at the beginning too. And a good chunk of the book will be grumpy Alek, and "oops, didn't see that coming" Deryn.

Oh jeez. Well, they were practically adults back in 1914, if that makes you feel better... ahaha

Every time in Behemoth that she said something along the lines of "everything will work out fine", I winced. That's an evil author thing to do. *shakes fist*

Yah - I can always age them up, too. Nothing wrong with 1920!

"But then I realized: he'd never do that." Yeah... I think that your Alek is very in-character in the situation you've thrust him into. :3 Like you say, while he's pretty advanced in his thinking regarding women for his time, that's still... not quite up to modern "standards". ;) He's still got a long way to go ( ... )

Rage hands? You're not allowed to have rage hands! Put those away! LOL

Damn it, Alek, think for yourself for a moment!

A sentiment that Deryn will share in chapter 5. Yesssssss. :D

Also, that comic is ~AMAZING~. Ooh, Mr. Sharp! <3 LEAVE THE GOGGLES ON.

I LOOOOOOVED the original P&P-based comic, but I also LOOOOOOOVE this one. SO funny.

And I see you are one of those people on the interwebs who enjoy smut! Perhaps I should write some where she leaves the goggles on. LOL

I <3 Kate Beaton. She is my favourite comic artist ever.

"Perhaps I should write some where she leaves the goggles on. LOL" I AM SURE THAT YOU OF ALL PEOPLE COULD FIND AN IN-CHARACTER WAY OF MAKING THAT HAPPEN. <3

I'm not so much a ridiculously huge fan of smut as much as I will read any fanfic that involves characters I like as long as they're in-character and it's well-written. :)
