Yuletide reveal

[rivkat]

Paul and Sarah Redmond, a Nip/Tuck story, NC-17, Christian/Quentin, Christian/Kimber, AU after "Madison Berg," which is when I plotted it -- and I'm pretty thankful I did, given what happened later. And yes, it's a crossover, though I don't think you have to know that for the story to make sense.

chase820 told me to add the pupil, which worked because Christian would absolutely notice that. I don't think they're married in the sense of having had a ceremony -- unless you count standing under an umbrella while the frogs rain down -- but their papers definitely say they are.

As for the N/T folks, I like the way you describe Sean and Christian. I have real trouble with Sean and how everyone treats him like this god of morals; Christian and Julia have outsourced their consciences, and they haven't picked a very good contractor -- which is why I loved Kimber telling Christian that Sean makes him small. Nonetheless, Christian and Sean do share an awful lot (more than Julia), and the focus on beauty is what unites them -- the thing that I would do with this story if I had spent more time with it is try to give Sean a larger role.

Quentin really got abused by the end of S3. He had a lot of promise as someone you could love to hate.

Thanks for the comments!

The pupil was a great detail, because of all the things Mulder can change about his appearance, that eye isn't one of them. It will always identify him as David Duchovny Mulder.

I did miss Sean -- he's such a big part of Christian's life -- but I guess this was just the part of Christian's life where he had to collaborate with edgy private investigators and whore himself out to Quentin in order to find his fiancee. And I'm totally okay with that.
