You know that stupid plot bunny that bit me a few weeks ago?  The one that came totally out of left field and bit me on the ankle and I had to kick it hard to send it away because I so did not want to stumble into another fandom and start writing there?  Especially one that's horribly complicated?  The Jack Harkness/Claire Bennett, Torchwood/Heroes crossover fic that I wasn't going to write?  Yeah, that one.  It's got over 1000 words written on it.  It comes in fits and starts, has been straggling in a paragraph or so at a time now.  And...well...it actually seems to be...good.  I'm almost afraid of what might happen if I chose to focus on it.

It's from Jack's point of view.  So far, anyway.  I know Jack inside and out, know how to write him backwards and forwards.  I have a handle on Claire I think, or how I think she'd be at 156 years old.  Hardened, yet still a bit naive.  Good with a gun.  Calculating, calm, and cool, but with a surprising ability to laugh at herself.  And with a heart, that once you get to it, is fiercely loyal and protective.  Yes, I've been thinking about it far too much for a fic I'm supposedly not going to write. *growls*

I just got bit by a Claire Bennett/Jack Harkness crossover fic plot bunny.  WTF?  I don't write Heroes!  And I don't have time for a new fic now anyway.  But where the heck did it come from?  Because someone needs to redirect that bunny to the appropriate new owner.
