I'm Starting To Suspect There Are No Bears In California.
I haven't been checking my friendslist much, partially because you're not in California every day (unless, y'know, you are) and partially because I'm terrified that somebody may have splashed 'OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE DOBBY IS THE FINAL HORCRUX*' all over it, but I did see the birthday wishes and have basically been grinning solidly ever since the morning of the eighteenth. Thank you so much!
(Many thanks for the virtual gifts prettying up my profile (or disturbing it up, in the case of the ripped-out heart, which would have had you written all over it even if the message hadn't been in Russian),![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
draegonhawke! Also, to the person who bought me more paid time: whoever you are, I absolutely love you.)
In gratitude for your all being ridiculously lovely and awesome, I am going to link you tosqueemu and thebaconfat's Book Seven Predictions, because they are hilarious (Zombie Dumbledore!), and also post a couple of fanfiction snippets. (You see, I haven't forgotten about the prompts you've all been giving me! I'm just, er, extremely slow!)
Master/Seifer:
"Let's destroy the world," the stranger suggests, as casual as if he were asking him out for a drink. His fingers tap out a light drum-beat against Seifer's shoulder. "It's all become so very boring. An apocalypse ought to shake things up a bit, don't you think?"
Seifer has experienced mind control before, and he tries to resist, but it is too late; his mind is filled with fire and glory, and when the man kisses him and smirks at him and one-person waltzes away across the floor it seems to make perfect sense for him to follow.
Balthier/Fran/Harkness (except not really as a threesome yet):
"My name is Balthier," the man says, "and my partner's is Fran. You would do well to remember it."
Jack grins. Now, at last, they're getting someplace. "Captain Jack Harkness."
"Captain?" Balthier repeats, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, we are important, aren't we? Would you mind telling me, my good Captain, who you captain for?"
Jack shrugs. "Whoever'll have me."
"If you're a mercenary, you'll have better luck elsewhere. We pirates prefer to keep our spoils to ourselves."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that," Jack says, dropping his voice and waggling his eyebrows in a deliberately overblown fashion. "I don't deal in money."
"And you genuinely believe that we are going to need a lecherous madman aboard the Strahl?" Balthier asks, amused.
"Well," Jack says, grinning confidently, "a lecherous madman who knows how to travel in time, maybe."
(Seriously, the full awesomeness of this trio hadn't really hit me until just now. I was thinking 'they will have sky-pirating adventures (and also threesomes) throughout Ivalice!', but it hadn't occurred to me that they could have time-travelling sky-pirating adventures. BALTHIER/FRAN/HARKNESS IS THE BEST THING EVER. It's just a pity that Fran speaks so little; I worry that she's going to be left out.)
* this is, as far as I know, not true.

We are going to Los Angeles at some point! Clearly I need to buy a bat.

Clearly you need to spend the entire time in front of the NBC studios in case he drops by and you can be all BRAIIIIIIIIIIINS. or something.

Ooh, you should sign the cricket bat 'What do braaaaains taste like
zombie!Piers?'This would be doubly good because he loves cricket AND brains.

THE DRUMS ARE THE RHYTHM FROM THE CLASSIC OPENING THEME. THE ONE WITH THE FAAAAACE.
(I may have mentioned this before, but I just got up and I don't remember. Eheh. Anyway, I'm stalking your old entries again because I was trying to find the Master/Seifer fic so that I could link peops, so laaaaa.)

Apparently Rowling has said that the flying Ford Anglia will make an appearance.
And Master/Seifer would work worryingly well, especially if you add Squall and the Doctor going 'Nooooo, don't do this!' except less dramatic in Squall's case.

BUT MOSTLY ME.
It's all brilliant. Master/Seifer is crack ON THE BEST LEVEL.
And I TOTALLY NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT TIME-TRAVELLING SKY PIRATES EITHER.
no subject
Aww. Seifer. Poor guy. Though: Master vs. Ultimecia. Most fascinating study of power and contest ever, yes/no?

Also:
"It's all become so very boring. An apocalypse ought to shake things up a bit, don't you think?"
You may have captured what I love about the Master.

And Jack and Balthier? Be still my heart.

If you want more about Jack, Fran and Balthier, they've got their own tag in my journal: Time-Travelling Sky Pirates of Ivalice.
