2) Fuck or Die: Jack and Lulu figure it out. There are fics where they eventually learn to get along, but that's not what I mean. I mean, they figure out how to do what Silas wants them to do. Lucinda is smarter than she seems, she's smart about people in a way that he's not. She's very patient with him, it's the softest, slowest, most gentle, most well intentioned dub con ever. And maybe all the places he goes in his head to deal with it.

3) Samuels knows that both Jack and Joseph were gay and that they were a couple. How did he know that? Did one of them go to him for counseling? Or does he know because he's on the down low himself? What if young!confused!Jack once threw himself at the Reverend and it was soooo awkward? Maybe they end up at the same secret gay party.

4) Solomon: in the Kingsverse. How's that work? What's he like? I bet the stories David told him about "grandpa" left out a lot of important details. One day he's down in the archives, because he's curious about history, and he learns the truth and freaks out. So he and David have to talk about the importance of mythology and things not always being black and white, etc. While, of course, trying to avoid the story of Solomon's conception (I don't know how they'd work that on the show- it doesn't seem like polygamy is legal in Gilboa, so who are the eight women standing behind David in his dream? Michelle is pregnant in the finale but in the Bible, Michelle never had any kids so who is this baby going to turn out to be?).

5) Rose's pov when Jack is trying to come out to her- as she realizes that she's only made the whole thing worse.

6) Seth Pardis realizes he could be king and decides to try for it.

7) Instead of both David and Jack being genderswapped like in my fic, only one of them is.

8) Jack and David were the ones who had sex in the summer house during the blackout (Michelle ran off with her girlfriend?) Complete with photos and clothing sharing and making out against a painting.

9) When Rose is pleading for Jack's life, she reminds Silas that he used to "live for Jack's laughter" or something along those lines. In the first episode, Silas complains that he liked his children better when they were small and manageable. So- it wasn't always that bad. Jack and Michelle kid!fic, back before everything went so horribly wrong.

10) That Other Dude. There was one other survivor of the ambush. This guy is shown, but never named onscreen (if *ever*). And we don't ever really see him again or find out what happened to him. But he was taken with Jack and being more mobile at the time of rescue, helps Jack get back to camp while David takes on Goliath. Who is this guy and what's he thinking during all of this?

11) When it comes to this plot I said I didn't want Silas/Jack. However, I'd take RPF of anyone/Seb in any sort of similar scene/ daddy *kink*.

12) AU: Silas forces Jack to marry David. I'm sure someone could figure out how to make it work. Possibly by combing #7, but I'm sure there's a way to make slash work too.

13) AUs AUs AUs. Victorians, Westerns or US Civil War(which are actually Victorians just set in a different location and a lot less genteel), Age of Sail (OMG, Age of Sail!), In Space!, medieval, ballet dancers, I don't know. One where Silas is the president of a fundamentalist Christian college and/or a televangelist and David is the honest farmboy who really Believes and discovers the truth about corruption in those sorts of organizations. And Jack is the bratty pastor's kid who does whatever he wants because no one dares call him out on it. Except for the part where he's also a victim of the terrible child rearing methods people like that use, and oh yeah, he's gay. For David.

It'll be a fifties (or early 60s) AU inspired by the music of Lana Del Rey. But I don't know when I'll get around to it.


I saw Gatsby this weekend and have Thoughts but also don't know when I'll get around to them.


I had an Emma and Jefferson thought...

1) I really think that if they were together, they'd have this interesting "traditional" gender role reversal. Emma is a cop, the sheriff in fact, an authority figure in a traditionally male dominated field, while Jefferson essentially works in the fashion industry. If he works at all, which it doesn't seem like he does because he's super rich, and mentally ill, and shy about interacting with the rest of the town. Emma has a boy, Jefferson has a daughter (who he has adorable tea parties with and sews stuffed animals for). Due to the fact that Emma was a teen mom who only recently met her ten year old child, (and now only informally shares custody with the woman who actually raised him) Emma often comes off as more of a "cool aunt" than a responsible parent, Jefferson has more actual child raising experience.

In "Hat Trick", when Emma is waiting in his living room, she's standing there in a pose that I can only describe as totally butch, while he's serving her tea.

Which just makes me picture their relationship as Emma going out to chase down criminals and Jefferson being this sort of house husband doing a lot more of the nurturing. He's probably good at cleaning because I bet he's *fussier* than her(he is in every fic with every pairing), and I bet he's a great cook because, come on, he's had a *lot* of time to learn how. And he goes to Henry and Grace's soccer games and all the moms give him the side eye and ask for his brownie recipe. But that's as far as it goes because they're all kind of afraid of Emma.

2) I find this adorable and hot. The concept of them taking care of each other but not in the way everyone might expect. But then she'll be there for him when he runs out of spoons and freaks, and he'll be very dangerous to anyone who tries to hurt her.
