Middle of 'Hourglass'

[kangeiko]

OK, so it's half an hour before Sloane gets executed. Except that, well, last conversation with Jack? Not so much.

Here's the way it plays out in my head -

Hourglass
Episode filler for Hourglass. Jack and Arvin share a drink.

So, what's the betting the execution gets delayed or Jack changes his mind?

In fact, I'm going with Jack changing his mind. Because he owns Sloane. And no one - no one - harms what belongs to Jack, even if he's just saving them for the pleasure of hurting them himself. If Sloane dies in any way other than stabbed or strangled by Jack, he's going to be exceedingly surprised. Irina, too. Dead by jack's hands or not at all, and that's just the end of it. And, yes, I can just see Laura smiling a little, "You should be careful, Arvin. Jack collects people who love him."

ETA: OMG OMG Some days you are just right!!! *jaw drop*

You're welcome!!

I saw you friended me, and I think we got it backwards: I adore your writing, so shouldn't I have friended you first? Confess, you just want more of my happy squees! & ;-)

*giggle* Well, I saw that you write Jack/Nadia and, ok, not seen s4 so not ready to read it yet, but i read the author's notes to 'at the foot of the throne' - anyone who painstakingly works out the geopolitical ramifications of religious extremism for fic purposes has to be on my flist. *g*

Hee! Well, I'm a) German and b) a law graduate specialising in PIL/EU Law, so of course, I angst over stereotyping and clichés and such and try to find a compromise. & ;-)

I also love my soapbox. You don't know what you've gotten yourself into...

See, I'm not really a writer, not like you and all the others. ::looks around furtively:: I just write because I had to (WowWrongBadHot!). *g*

*points to chest* postgrad student in gender and development, at your service. I have cultural imperialist and feminist issues coming outta my arse, missy. (Also a law exam in like, four days. *shudder*) it's like we gravitate towards each other, no? we should build a really, really big soapbox. And possibly tassles.

Tassles...tassles... ::brain short-circuits::

no, no, of course not; dear lord, it's looking like it'll be tolstoy long!

See, I have no idea how that happened--suddenly, they were *talking*, and enjoying it all. *g*

Tassles...tassles... ::brain short-circuits::

Now why is it that this happens whenever I mention tassles? It doesn't matter what fandom I dabble in, the moment I mention tassles someone will turn to goo. Is there a world-wide tassle-philia aspect to fandom that I've been missing?

Yeah, I hate it when characters think that they've got, like, character development and plot to get through before the sex. *sigh*
