My brain people are too smart for their own good

I've been hunting for Ivan in my head because most of the plot bunnies I have for him are less horrifying than other stuff I've been carrying around lately. But Ivan in his best Ivanish fashion has been slippery as an eel; niqaeli thinks he's wisely hiding from my idfic while I think he just hasn't forgiven me for that unfortunate edge case blending of a couple of AUs where he ended up publically compared to Ges Vorrutyer and the drunken breakdown was only partly an act.

Anyway, I finally figured out where he's been hiding: with Neal Caffrey, in modern-day New York. He's very smug about it. For all that Agent Burke is stumped by the Russian spaceman from the future crashing on Neal's couch, he's not doing anything about him. He comes off less weird than Mozzie, despite everything, so Peter's just at, "Okay, I don't get your friends. Tell him not to do anything illegal in front of me." So Ivan is smugly certain that plot cannot touch him here.

I am so very tempted to prove him wrong.

Is perhaps Secret Agent Ivan there to retrieve the music box? ;)

[jmtorres]

Considering the usual run of Secret Agent Ivan's work, I'm going to say no. Unless Gregor felt particularly whimsical, which is frankly more likely in the universes where he's sleeping with Ivan, and we're back to blending multiple AUs in a way that causes Ivan to narrow his eyes at me suspiciously. VICTORY.

Oh god. I can think of several ways this could go wrong. :D

[jmtorres]

Heh. Heh heh.

[niqaeli]

Probably he hasn't forgiven you for the edge case. When you add your idfic, I think he's very wise in hiding.

(He's completely vanished into thin air for me. Oh, Ivan.)

[jmtorres]

Is it weird and *handwavy* over-invested of me to be relieved to know where he is?

...and for "in another fandom" to seem like simultaneously a real place a real person could wander off to, and a corner of my brain?

[niqaeli]

Possibly. I'm not really the person to be asking, dear, remember. *pats*

[jmtorres]

Thhhbpt.

Hi! I'm your braintwin! For good reason!

What a beautiful example of the crossover brain!

[jmtorres]

Eh? When you have muses who think they're people...
