You Think You're Free and it Holds You Fast (Cabin Pressure, Herc/Carolyn)

Few days ago, I sent a request to Random-Nexus for a prompt. And she offered up this:

“You know, it would be a lot easier to discuss this if you would come down from there!”

And I let it stew for awhile (that is, I ran through several ideas, rejected some and then this idea came to me in the shower and refused to let me go) and then I came up with

How did I not know you wrote CP fic? There is not enough Herc/Carolyn in the world and this one fills in the gap nicely. <3

I kind of dabble in Cabin Pressure. It's a challenge getting the voices right, but I'm kind of happy with this one and Douglas' POV.

Thank you for liking it!

I've been writing Cabin Pressure fic, too. Just not posting it here. Douglas is so much easier to write than Martin, no?

YOU'VE BEEN WRITING CABIN PRESSURE? WHERE? WHEEEERREE? GIVE TO ME!

*ahem*

I dunno. I bounce between Douglas and Martin. Martin is just kind of like open the awkward comedy gates and let the insanity fly. Douglas is also getting easier, but it could be that I can hear Roger Allem purring in my ear.

Arthur is tough at times, but I think the essential key is how cheery he is. It's just coming up with insane lines of logic which makes it hard. Carolyn is also easy too.

So yeah, Arthur -- tapping into that daftness is a challenge at times.
