Well this just made my day!

I really want to write some Ax/Marco, now. And yet, no ideas. Sigh. My Ax/Tobias is eating my brain.

IT'S FINISHED!!!

felinephoenix, teremala, THANK YOU so much! I couldn't have done it without your help. Also, while I didn't use all of the suggestions I was given, it doesn't mean I didn't like them, just that I wasn't a good enough writer to work them all in. :)

The essay, for those interested, can be found here at ship_manifesto.

Ax/Marco is CANON! 35 books in and I have discovered irrefutable proof of gay alien lurve.

Book 35 (The Proposal), page 106:

"May we join you?"

It was a table full of old people in suits or dresses, depending. One of them may have been our mayor. I'm not sure.

"There's only one chair."

"It's okay, we're very good friends." I sat down and yanked Ax down onto my lap.


So there you have it! Dude, Cassie never sat in Jake's lap. Obviously, Ax&Marco have a true, pure love greater than both Rachel&Tobias and Jake&Cassie. Ha-HAH!

Yeah, being up really late always makes me slightly manic. So sorry. :)

EDIT TO ASK: Okay, is #35 the first book that Jake tells Cassie he loves her? (Page 139, for those interested.) I can't remember the big L-word before then (though lots of "I like Cassie. As in like" stuff that irritated me even when I was 9). Ooooh, and it also has the line about Tobias and Rachel watching "Felicity" together. Truly a shipperific book.
