Convenient Fictions


"He's rearranging my DVDs."

"It stopped him from sorting your bookshelf into 'censor' and 'burn' piles, didn't it? Count your blessings."

"I still don't understand what he's doing here in the first place."

"Neither do I. It's all top-secret and classified and what have you. All I know is, Jurisfiction said they needed a safe place to stow him. And, well, I do feel kind of responsible for him. Given that I created him and all."

"I guess that's fair."

"Look, if you've got any other ways of distracting him in mind, I'm open to suggestions."

"...Stephen?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm a red-blooded American male who has just met his boyfriend's identical twin. What do you think I have in mind?"

"Wow," panted "Stephen" at last. "I knew I was a good lay, but I didn't know I was that good."

It had taken some fast talking (literally — after explaining that it wasn't gay if you did it with yourself, Stephen had demonstrated his moral credentials by speed-reciting a couple of Catholic creeds), but as Jon had expected, Stephen's character had been quick to fall into bed.

He was a bit surprised, though, when in spite of his obnoxiousness "Stephen" cuddled up to Stephen, one arm draped across him, head resting on his chest.

(Not that Jon was complaining. Besides, he was far too sated to be unhappy about anything at the moment.)

"You know, you're all right," laughed Stephen. "What do you think, Jon? Can we keep him?"

"Oh, no you don't," murmured Jon, leaning against Stephen's other side. "Besides, he is only fictional."

"Elitist," protested "Stephen" sleepily. "Besides, you're not exactly real yourself, you know."

Jon was suddenly wide awake. Judging by the look they exchanged, so was Stephen.

"Stephen" ignored them both. Before either one got up the nerve to ask what he had meant, he was lightly snoring, dead to the (real?) world.

Thursday Next is something I have heard about and suspect I would like but have never actually investigated. I should probably change this, especially if it makes something like this possible. =P

Very cute!

Yeah, it's a vast amount of fun if you're a fan of literature, sci-fi and/or detective stories. Or dodos.
