I Will Kick You To Sleep.

[rionaleonhart]

You know, I don't think a single person has written Nathan/Elena/Sully Uncharted fanfiction, and this makes me really quite sad. All I want is fanfiction about them hunting treasure together and accidentally falling into a three-way relationship, whoops, and Nathan being totally okay with this arrangement and Sully being a bit freaked out. (Elena falls somewhere between the two, but closer to the 'I'm okay with this' side of the spectrum.) I thought you were supposed to have everything, Internet.

In fact, it's a good thing I'm so smitten with Nathan/Elena, because a bit of poking around seems to indicate that it's the only pairing anyone writes. There's a tiny smattering of Flynn/Drake, a tinier one of Flynn/Elena and maybe two Nate/Chloe fics, but that's it. Poor Sully is left out entirely. I suppose the fact that he's twenty-five years older than anyone else in the main cast, semi-raised the main character and has a scary moustache gets in the way of most 'shippers.

As my output for the Uncharted fandom so far consists of two Nathan/Elena fics, I suppose I've no right to complain. I don't even have much inclination to complain; after some thought, I've come to the conclusion that Nathan Drake/Elena Fisher is probably my favourite pairing in the entire videogame world (this is not hyperbole; I mean it with all my heart), so I'm perfectly happy that the fandom focuses on them. But I would sort of like to see a Nathan/Elena/Sully fic. Just one.

I'd rectify the Nathan/Elena/Sully lack myself if I could, but I find myself completely unable to. I've no idea where to begin! I suppose the most likely scenario is 'Nate and Elena are already in a relationship and Sully is gradually brought into it somehow', but how?

(I don't actually 'ship Nathan/Sully on its own, but apparently I am all for it as an aspect of Nathan/Elena/Sully. I don't understand how my mind works.)

To whoever said 'I THINK I MIGHT KNOW WHO YOU ARE, ANON' over at unchartedkink, if I was indeed the person you were thinking of: I'd try to deny it, but I suppose this entry makes it rather obvious.


Slightly worrying side-effect of the Uncharted games: I've started looking at buildings from a 'how would I scale this?' point of view. (Or 'how would I scale this were I Nathan Drake?', I suppose, because he is a much more accomplished building-scaler than I.) If I start actually trying to scale buildings, please stop me; I can't see that ending well.

Bahaha, blowing my anon cover here, but that was totally me XD I KNEW IT WAS YOU~! Very glad to have found some more company for the kinkmeme, which I spent the morning trawling and tracking threads in.

I will admit to my ridiculous adoration for Flynn (based on more than the fact that his VA is also Alistair in Dragon Age, honest, ahahah), which has made me automatically look for anything and everything Nate/Harry related... despite also shipping Nate/Elena like it's my job... OH DEAR.

[rionaleonhart]

I actually suspected you were my accuser! And I can't blame you for going on the hunt for Nate/Harry; I don't really 'ship it myself, but I can't deny that Flynn is an enormous flirt.

[sai_salamander]

LOL I am all the obvious! XDD

He IS an enormous flirt! And he totally hits my "possibility for dark, painful fic" button, so there's that.

I know of at least two crazy Nate/Sully shippers over on tumblr - one of them who may or may not legitimately think they are Sullivan's gay incarnate... maybe they're just really into RPing.

... I hope the latter :|

[rionaleonhart]

If it's any reassurance, people do RP on tumblr a lot, as far as I understand (I find tumblr rather confusing, but that's the impression I get), so I'd be inclined to think the latter. You know, assuming they're making posts in the persona of Sully rather than posts saying 'I HAVE COME TO THE REALISATION THAT MY SOUL IS IN TRUTH THE SOUL OF VICTOR SULLIVAN, HERE'S WHY.'

(If they are making 'I AM VICTOR SULLIVAN INCARNATE' posts, I wouldn't mind a link, because that sounds potentially hilarious.)

I'm quite surprised that there's no Nate/Sully fanfiction to be found, if there are passionate 'shippers out there! It seems odd that there's none at all, even if I don't 'ship it myself.

I tend to think of Sully as having hatesex with Marlowe, actually, but then I suppose that's a threesome if you count his moustache.

Augh, the building thing. It's been happening to me recently too thanks to Assassin's Creed.

(Incidentally: Nathan Drake= totally a more cheerful Assassin who got away in time to have a normal-ish life, for sure).
