Throwing this out into the ether for the Sullicope enjoyers in the fandom (take of it what you'd like and please do with it what you want☺️ or not, that's okay too lol)...
As some may be aware from things I've shared on my blog in the past, I've always considered myself a "sullicope enjoyer from afar" as I don't out right ship them, but still understand the grand appeal with the fandom masses, and have enjoyed certain theories and fics from time to time.
But, an AU idea hit my head that might have the potential to be turned into some sort of fic. While I don't personally have the bandwidth to do something with this rando idea that came to mind since my heart isn't 100% into this ship, I figured might as well share it and see if those with a true passion for the ship might find it useful (or not, completely fine if this idea is a dud and just fizzles out like soda gone flat lol. It doesn't make a difference to me either way).
Anyways, enough rambling. Here's the idea.
Sullivan, known to struggle with his demons when it comes to alcohol, finally takes the plunge and attends an AA meeting, and that's where he meets the group's leader, Cameron. Eventually, as Cam sees Liam struggling with his sobriety, he takes it upon himself to become Liam's AA sponsor, but things get messy when support turns into feelings and desire is louder than morals.
-Thinking perhaps Cam gets involved after loosing a loved one (ex-lover, or a close friend, or a random family member, idk, you get the point) that meant a lot to him (either via cirrhosis of the liver or a drunk driving incident) and he makes it life's work to help others that struggle with the same demons.
-This obviously turns the whole taboo (Drill Sergeant/Recruit) dynamic from the show on it's head with a different dynamic, and now with Cam technically holding the upper hand in the relationship since he's Liam's AA sponsor.
Anyways, yeah, that's the idea that popped into my head. Please feel free to tell me this idea is basic AF and "don't talk to me or my sons ever again" (lmao😂). But yeah, if anyone wants to do anything with this, please have at it and I hope you have fun while creating (even if multiple people want to take a crack at it and offer different takes on the concept). I don't need to be credited for the idea either. Just didn't want the possibility of a story be wasted on my ungrateful mind when I know there are fans with a true passion for this ship.
(okay, crawling back into my little cave, byeeee✌🏻)
