Evan Lorne/Tony DiNozzo

[theeverdream]

I think I have a certain issues with crossovers, trying to fit characters into each other's lives. My slashing_lorne Summer of Lorne prompt basically hands that to me - Tony is the NCIS agent assigned to the marines on Atlantis. But I think just jumping into a PWP.. I think that's gonna feel weird to me.

I've got a lot of ideas beyond the smut... I can just see this wanting to be like this big 15k thing:
-Tony's thoughts on the assignment before he leaves Earth
-how he got the assignment (Daniel, who knew Tony, told the higher-ups about him)
-what happens soon after he gets there (an intro speech in the mess hall, stuff about DADT)
-setting it post SGA series and having non-feeding!Todd staying on Atlantis and having him and Tony have some kind of conversation (I just think that would be awesome)

but I definitely am not going to write all of those ideas. I don't want to turn this into a chore that I'll hate to write so I'm dreading the due date, especially when I've got the other, ongoing project thing.

But I do think that I will include at least a bit of backstory about how he meets Lorne or some of his early interactions with Lorne.

-touring Atlantis with Lorne as his guide
-having a case where he has to search everybody's rooms (does he find a box of Lorne's sex toys?)
-sparring with Lorne
-???



Basically I just wanted to "talk out loud" as it were... I'm really excited about this particular fic and I really hope that everyone will like the finished product :)

I think anything with Lorne and/or DiNozzo is just fine with me! The snark alone could be a deadly weapon -- or a terrific come-on! Write away! You can always do a PWP and if the idea works out, expand on it later.

That's a good idea, thank you! If I start to get too flustered over the backstory possibilities I think I will do that (PWP and expand on later).. or I might just go ahead and do like that it anyway!

The power of the PWP should never be underrated!

I tend to keep doing something I'm trying to get away from and can't figure out how: plot, sex, the-end. Like, why should the story end? Was sex the whole point? Then why did I write 9,000 words leading up to it? Why NOT write PWP? My Lorne/McKay is heading that direction and I'm trying to figure out what comes after sex (*snicker*).

Anyway, I think a lot of people will be expecting PWP for this fest. (Though I think non-feeding Todd would be hilarious). Have fun!

Mm, I get what you're saying.

I definitely will have fun! So far I've been going in a bunch of different directions in my head but they're all pretty darn exciting :D

Hm, I can see Lorne and McKay just sort of hanging out, either immediately or not post-sex, both on their laptops, Lorne doing paperwork and McKay doing sciency stuff. Don't know that that actually fits with your story but it's a nice happy image at least :)
