THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY FRIENDS

[themeletor]

(and their brains. and my brain. AND THE WAY OUR BRAINS WORK TOGETHER.)

quick note: I was looking at this site (Meg Andrews' reproductions), at which I had arrived via this site (Dressing History, by Serena), and uh. this happened.

I said: so you know that early 19th century short jacket called a spencer?
I said: my brain loves me SO MUCH that it gave me a picture of Spencer Smith IN a spencer ...
I said: and now I have to come up with some ridic 1820s AU.
she said: oh god
she said: that is kind of awesome
I said: KNOWING ME IT WILL INVOLVE SOMETHING DUMB LIKE THE ROYAL MFING NAVY
I said: ohgod ohgod ohgod Brendon's ASS in those BREECHES. shit.
she said: *cough*
she said: oh god Mel
she said: Middie Love with panics!
she said: brendon in Hornblower AU
she said: snuggling with Archie in a hammock
I said: n'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
she said: :-)
I said: (I am trying to figure out by what method of shenanigans I can get Spencer Smith to crossdress)
she said: genderswap
I said: SPENCER SMITH THE NOBLEMAN'S DAUGHTER?
she said: bwahahaha
she said: robbed by Billiam and Gabe gentleman highwaymen
I said: ARE YOU SUGGESTING I WRITE A BODICERIPPER?
she said: YES
she said: YES MEL I AM
I said: OMG.
I said: I WILL GET RIGHT ON THAT, I WILL
she said: YES please

omg. ♥

I AM SO DOING THIS. NO LIE.

WRITE THE BODICE RIPPER.

I mean um, hi?

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

THE GENDERSWAP BODICE RIPPER WITH HIGHWAYMEN AND PIRATES AND THE ROYAL NAVY, YES. I PLAN TO.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

(ps - hi.)

[katilara.livejournal.com]

PIRATES MEL!! *flails*

You are coming Friday, yes?

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

PIRATES! AND THE ROYAL NAVY! AND HIGHWAYMEN! (you do not understand; I may never finish this fic because I will NEVER WANT TO LEAVE IT :O )

mfy! of course!

[fairestcat]

OMG I TOTALLY WANT PANIC AS MIDSHIPMEN!

AND THE GENDERFUCK BODICE RIPPER.

AND ALSO? PETE AND PATRICK AS JACK AND STEPHEN. CAN'T YOU JUST SEE IT??? (Weirdly, I'm seeing Patrick as Jack in this scenario. Pete just makes a much better Stephen, I can't imagine him lasting long enough in the navy to even make Lieutenant. let alone Captain, but he'd be an awesome absentminded scintific sort/secret spy.)

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

I MIGHT HAVE TO DO THAT SECOND ONE ANOTHER TIME, BECAUSE IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT ACTUALLY IN THIS FIC PETE IS THE HAUGHTY NOBLEMAN TO WHOM MISS SMITH HAS BEEN BETROTHED (while Brendon, obv, is the midshipman who truly loves her) AND PATRICK IS THE CARETAKER OF THE SMITH ESTATE. or something.

(Pete would make the worst actual serious sailor ever. at least Patrick : music :: Aubrey : boats, ish.)

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

[marcyleecorgan.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what fandom you are talking about, but there is nothing more fantastically splendid than SMEXY BODICERIPPER. :D

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT? I am EXCITED.

I love your brain. Just so you know. (And you can always sign me up for bodice-ripping goodness, even if I don't know the fandom.)
