Sign a new fandom has its claws in you: waking up in a swanky hotel room with a vision of its lead characters, um, enjoying the amenities. Which somehow did NOT evaporate upon me being squished next to a luggage trolley stacked with equipment for a film shoot. ;-)
However, thirty-six hours and half a phonepad later, the bunny's definitely morphed into the start of an original fic. Which means one part of me's going "Hey, a story I can try to sell once it's done!", another part of me going "Damn, no waiting audience for this one," a third part of me going "Huzzah! Now I don't have to break my brain trying to reconcile two canons + personal AU!" (since I'd been flirting with bringing back the Snape and Lupin from "Just Like Strangers Here"), a fourth part rather surprised and pleased that I already have Katou, Iwaki, and Sawa enough in my head to realize when I've gone OC (and what to do about it), and yet another part already pointing out that the sooner I truly deal with this bunny instead of merely swearing at/about it, the sooner I can free up that part of my brain to indulge in some smutterrific Harudaki PWP.
(Oh yes, it's so fun to be me when I'm in the throe--wait, that's not coming out right. And it was an awesome mini-vacation (in spite of Pericles getting rained out midway through the fourth act). The hotel had bright red shoulder-high penguin statues everywhere, and my brain didn't automatically pair any of the penguins with any fictional characters -- not even Katou or the Squid -- so I should be thankful for small mercies, shouldn't I.)
