What I am thinking about right now

Hmmmmm.

I wonder if this is too bad?

I was thinking that I was close to the end of the genderbender. Then I thought, hey, Daniel really needs to have one real date.

So then I thought, eh, what a lot of work. Gotta come up with an OMC.

Then I thought about this

---

Daniel realized the man was waiting for him to say something, but he had gotten lost in his delicious accent, which if Daniel remembered from his study in the UK was all Yorkshire. He smiled in embarrassment to be caught daydreaming.

"No, it's OK. I've just got a couple of things, then I can get out of your hair."

"Or maybe you'd like to join me?" It was his turn to look embarrassed. Daniel was a little startled by the invitation. One of the things he had realized early on about this bookshop was that he felt completely Daniel here. The sudden reminder that he wasn't who he thought he was could be jarring.

But the idea sounded really good, actually. Why not? The guy was undeniably attractive, he had a great voice, and he must like books, to work in a place like this.

"Sounds nice," Daniel said with a smile. He held out his hand. "Dan—Dani," he managed.

The answering smile was nothing short of dazzling.

"Sean," he replied, taking Daniel's hand in a firm grip.

Is that cheating? Alternatively, is it far, far too distracting? No, not distracting that way. Distracting in a bad way?

And we will be blaming this little derailment on the lovely uisgich's natal celebration today. She's 27. Last year, I wrote this for her. But this year, I was a terrible bad friend, and I got nuthin'. Not even the end of the elf!Jack story.

It's not a void! :) I started writing in the rugbytackle fandom - SB/VM. That's where most of my little friends come from (*pets the little friends*), and they are always pleased when Beanie might show up again.

But I'm inclined to agree with you on this. As tempting as I find it to put Beanie in, I think he's probably too distracting. Assuming people identify him. I wasn't intending to use a last name, hoping to cut down on the distraction.

I'm leaning towards doing the Daniel/SB thing in a separate set of stories, for my sweeties up there, but avoiding it in the actual body of this story, becuase it really doesn't fit. Though that leaves me with trying to decide if I really want to do the heavy lifting of creating a good enough OMC for Daniel to date. *ponders*
