Hit the nail on the head for me. Summed up most of my reasons for coming to the pairing, including the story that hooked me ie. "Loose Lips". I had wrestled with this fandom at first because I wanted to write Jack, but just could not bring myself to put him and Will together. Maybe for one night, but not long term. There's just not much there to work with for that.
James though? Yeah, just like you said it's all there if we look for it. I love first time stories too, cause I like to see how writers bridge the gaps and make it work. I wish I was better at it. I'm more of a 'get them together and mess with them from there' kind of writer.
This was a great essay. I might refer to it the next time someone asks me 'why Sparrington?' Interestingly enough, no one really asks me that. Maybe they get it too and just won't admit it.
