in a time traveler au, is it more compelling if Eoin and Paddy ARE strangers, and modern Eoin ends up in WWII, OR happily married modern Eoin ends up in WWII staring at his husband's tragic-eyed doppleganger? Option one is "I know I tripped into a fairy circle, but I don't think that means I deserved to Outlander myself into world war fucking two." Eoin, 30 seconds after seeing Paddy: [weighing if True Love At First Sight balances out an active world war, minimal vaccines, and the general criminalization of any reciprocated feelings] Paddy: Times must be odd if one of the Fair Folk is making himself known Eoin: Paddy: Eoin: think I'm handsome enough to be one of the aos sí, do you? Paddy: Paddy: [flees] Eoin: [massive, face-splitting smile] (and then eventually they figure out Eoin's the great-grandnephew of Paddy's friend Ambrose, which does at least explain why Eoin looks so goddamn McGonigal-coded. Eoin: i AM a McGonigal Paddy: [was already doing the birth years math and dying inside, now adding 'related to my good friend' to the mix of mental 'mm don't like this'])
