Well, now this is weird. When I'm not busy sticking my fingers in my ears and chanting "la la la, I can't hear you" at the SG-1 characters coming up to me with plot ideas (This is aside from the previously mentioned Alternate Reality "Untouchables" fic, which, heaven help me, might actually have a name if I'm not careful.), XAOSverse characters are talking to me. That's not the weird part. Specifically, it's Anjirousu and Sagenthir who are talking to me. This is still not the weird part.
They're wondering if there's any way in hell I can give them a happy ending.
That's the weird part.
For the record, how things went down in "And Miles to Go Before I Sleep" is pretty much how it's supposed to happen in the books proper. Those events are supposed to be the catalyst for a bunch of other events related to the action-plot of the series, not to mention being the main springboard for Vagabond. I've never before wanted to give them a truly happy ending, and I really want to so badly, but to do so requires scrapping an entire book AND pretty much all the major themes of the entire series.
I can see no conceivable way to give AJ and Sage a happy ending. Maybe while I'm writing it all out, it'll come to me. But, damn, this story has been growing and mutating for eight years, and they've never, at any point during that time, had even the possibility of one. So now, when they're asking quietly for it, I'm startled and like "what? No."
I feel like such a bastard.
