Accidentally a soulbond
Dec. 19th, 2016 01:34 amDreamt a whole complicated thing with people from Angel, specifically Lorne and Lindsey, time travel, visions, and soul bonds.
( Read more... )
So it turns out that a soulbound couple can and will have the visions together. All of them. Including the time travel sort.
So Lindsey, who I soulbonded with without really thinking it through on the assumption that those days were about to get rebooted, is now my permanent other half.
And really kind of smug about it. Fully cat cream. This is working out great for him.
And okay, there are advantages, tapping his sword skills is great, and tapping L is clearly greatness. Him tapping my spell book is... potentially less great if he doesn't understand how the deity is part of it.
But the big problem is I had now bound the eternal fate of my soul to Lindsey McDonald, and wow is that ever likely to go poorly.
So.
Dreamed I soulbonded with someone right before I time travelled, on the assumption that timeline was about to be erased, but it turned out the soulbond meant automagically bringing my other half along when I travelled.
That has wider potential.
As does the idea of a Janus sponsored time travel team.
The bit where the soulbond introduces new limitations on the magic is interesting to work through too. ( Read more... )
But if even dream me had known the whole thing would be permanent then I like to think I'd have just not. Because wow is that a bad idea.
A bad idea that's still appealing more than a decade after the series ended, but still, a bad idea.
... that I would totally do, wouldn't I?
*sigh*
