the way you move is dancing

As she says, "This story is an alternate ending to a longer series that Ekat and I have been working on for some time in which John Sheppard is a shy librarian, and Rodney McKay, a flamboyant bookstore owner in Boston. It is 'canon' in this universe that John and Remus Lupin, the English subject librarian at the library where he works, were intrigued by one another but were both too reserved and caught up in their own issues to make a move. In this little story, we explore what could have happened if their friendship had ever moved beyond superficial coffeebreak banter."

I was privileged to work on this with her, through my contributions were generally just snippets of ideas in emails, while she did the heavy lifting of actually writing this - and very beautifully too. So, if you're a fan of either John Sheppard or Remus Lupin, go read!


I have decided that light reading before bed is *not* a luxury, but a necessity if I'm going to have any chance at all of sleeping that night. My reading tonight is going to be Persimmons Blackbridges's Sunnybrook, having just finished being charmed by her Prozac Highway. (I'm also reading Charles de Lint's Trader right now, but there's only so much I can take of his writing now before wanting to smack him).


adelynne tagged me a little while back to explain my username, and it came up in another conversation, so I guess I should. The name Ekaterinn is a reference to the character of Ekaterin in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosiganverse novels - she's coolheaded, tough and has survived much to find happiness. As you can probably tell, I like her a lot. *g* However, when I got my hotmail account and wanted to use the name, there was already a ekaterin, so I added an extra 'n' and made the name my own. My full internet name is Ekaterinn Ciel Duval, which came out of a regency-style letter-writing game bejiin and I played years ago. (Her name was Bejiin Melanie Ripley, I believe). You can still find fic by me signed Ekaterinn Duval in an archive or two.
