Argh. Must go back to work.

C'mon Gas Company. I've got a blueline on my desk and y'all are taking frelling forever.

While I wait:

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.


Feel free to ask for characters I don't write, although everything I say will be made up in my head:)

AHAHA! First!

Aeryn, please. :)

1. Aeryn still doesn't understand half of the specifics of what John says, and unfortunately while a grandly symbolic (and she tells herself, somewhat idiotic Chritonesque) gesture, learning English didn't help that much. She can tell from the way he holds his body, tilts his head, walks, pauses, touches her, touches anyone what he means. But she likes the sound of his voice, the way it races over her skin, and it's convenient when she doesn't want to actually listen to him.

2. Aeryn still, and will always, think of herself as a pilot first. She gets the whole more thing, but being a pilot was never anything less.

3. For the first year of their marriage, Aeryn wakes every day wondering if she could make the choice that Xhalax made. If she could choose her son over John. Motherhood is baffling, frustration, occasionally disgusting, intermittently amazing, and still somewhat of a mystery to her, like a new duty roster that she can't quite shake. There's a day, though, when she knows, when her heart lurches and sticks in her chest and she understands how you trade one great love for another. She thanks and curses John in equal measure for this gift, frells him senseless and won't tell him why because Xhalax is not something they speak of. She doesn't want him to understand that yes, she gets it now.

Bonus: Aeryn does not regret leaving Moya when she did. She does not regret surviving, and she does not, completely, regret using Scorpius to facilitate that. She'd have changed it if she could have. But she was out of options. She's not like John, she can't make options appear out of nothing. She's a soldier. The best she's ever been able to do is use what's in front of her.

These are all great, but I adore number 3. But then again, I'm always a sucker for mention of Xhalax. ;)

Thank you!! I think the most personal canon one is the bonus, but I honestly believe #3 as well:)
