whoa goddamn, my google doc entitled “this is dumb” of the Found Cat ‘verse AU When Kes Met Shara (circa 1976) is over 10k words on just the rewrite section of this. I guess i know where my time has gone.
I uh. It’s still not totally history-compliant, but at least I’ve tried. (Latest twist: if he’s a sergeant and she’s a lieutenant and they don’t have a pre-existing relationship, that’s fraternization and is Not Allowed under the US military code of conduct! Do I: #1 make him not a sergeant as he is in canon? she’s gotta be an officer if she’s a pilot, or #2 come up with a convoluted way to get him a career change to be an officer! Well, he’s got real good NCO vibes in the intro part, so, #2 it is.) (is this all incredibly dumb? Yes! there are other major issues with historical inaccuracy so it’s dumb to worry about this one but this one is solvable so i’m going to.)
Also: he’s totally going to give up his career so she can pursue hers. that’s exceptional for US 1970s culture, but it is the Kes Dameroniest thing I can think of.
