I lost my heart to a starship trooper (Carson/Hughes AU)

Carson and Hughes in space -- how much more AU can you get? Inspired by one of ellie987's amazing lovebelowstairsbattleships icons.

( This is Starfleet control You are clear to go hyper space )

This was darling. I loved that last paragraph. Perfect!

Someone ought to make good use of all those time jumps!

Ok, now you are just being evil. You know that I am a HUGE ST fan as well, don't you?

frakcancer October 24 2011, 16:46:20 UTC

Evil is what I live for. You do realize you're just encouraging me, right?

defyingnormalcy October 24 2011, 16:52:03 UTC

Damn!

You really COULD be my mother's online twin. She pulls pranks on me all the time just for fun.

More and more I'm convinced I'd like your mom....

Ok, the contrast here between his attitude and the setting is wondrful. In fact, the only downside to this whole unexpectedly clever combination is having to picture Carson in spandex.

frakcancer October 24 2011, 17:10:57 UTC

I'm sure Carson insists on only properly tailored livery for his crew, with no more than 5% spandex or Lycra. (Although the actor has been photographed in a much higher spandex content outfit...)

Thank heavens for strategically placed handlebars.

You obviously didn't scroll down to the second picture....

No, no, not going back to writing St:TNG crossovers. No, no, no.

No!

Maybe?

She Who Must Be Obeyed had me LMAO the first time I read this and again now.

You know, if Fellowes keeps jumping time like this my cottage retirement fics will no longer be a/u, and Carson and Hughes will be too geriatric to do anything!

Service in the country must be good for your health. Look how little Carson and Hughes have aged over the last six years. They barely look a year older!

bsg_aussiegirl October 26 2011, 08:14:12 UTC

And Sybil still looks 18!

frakcancer October 26 2011, 09:57:11 UTC

The only ones who've seemed to have aged are Violet, Isobel, and Cora. (Daisy still looks about 12.)
