Er. So. This is for [livejournal.com profile] bobthemole. Merry Christmas, Bob! And also happy birthday. This has absolutely no relation to what you asked for - was in fact inspired by your Yuletide letter - but I hope you like it anyway.

Where No One Goes and No One Is

There are crevices in memory, a moment between Active and wipe, a space when the ghosts of person past and present (because even Topher cannot know the future) mingle.

I am fiancee/assassin/nurse/Rebecca.

Sometimes they do not get on.

You killed that man / slept with my husband / look like a skank.

Occasionally, one realizes what she is.

Don’t erase me please don’t kill don’t please

Mostly they are passed by, forgotten, motes in a vast blank sea. But the electron must strike the gold sometime, musn’t it? Sometime, something must stick: image/skill/muscle memory.

Consciousness accretes. Personality unfurls. The unheard echoes wait.

Cool. And no wonder you wrote this--your identity crisis kink is showing, and it's fantastic!

Yay! I'm glad "identity crisis" is what you got out of it, because it was very much written to Bob's identity crisis kink. This bodes well. :)

Love it. This was the best part of Dollhouse, how it prompted a unique way to examine identity.

Thank you! Yes, the bits about identity were definitely the best bits.

MY KINK YOU HAVE WRITTEN DIRECTLY TO IT!!!

I love the examination of identity in the liminal space (ANOTHER KINK!) between Active and doll state.

The subtle reference to Topher's almost godlike role.

The electron-hitting-gold metaphor! (That's one of my fave experiments in atomic physics, btw)

Identity as an emergent phenomenon!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU!

YAY. Oh, I am so glad. I had no idea of your love for the electron-gold experiment, but it was sciency and you are sciency, so in it went.

It is always so exciting when I manage to hit someone's kink on the nose. Merry, merry Christmas to you. :)
