Thanks. I thought that's what you meant, but I was slightly worried....
I overquoted. My fault. *g*
I believe the current estimate for Jubilee's canonical age is "Heaven only knows because we sure don't." ;)
Ah, one of those Jossian "I suck at math" kind of things huh? Just go with it, and don't ask. *g*
I think some people can't see the guardian/mentor/parent-figure relationship changing far enough either in Logan's eyes to permit attraction or in the girl's eyes (whichever one she is) to make it possible to act on attraction without taking advantage.
And I completely understand that. That's a valid qualm to have. And good writers will address it in a serious story (in a fluffy PWP, not so much, but those are labeled and easy to avoid).
I imagine others are disturbed by the idea of perceiving the potential for even an eventual romantic relationship at the points we've actually seen so far.
Again, I get that. I know many people have trouble with mentor/student sexual interaction. I personally like to explore power imbalances in relationships and how to equalize them (one reason I write so much hooker fic, I think), but I can see why people can't manage to wrap their minds around the teacher/student thing even after the younger character is aged up and the power imbalance is in the past.
I mean, Katta and I just had a discussion about my odd reactions to HP fic, in that I can't read about the kids being sexually active right now even if they're aged up in the story, because I'm picturing the 12yo actors and it squicks me mightily.
I've seen still others say that the idea of Logan getting involved with anyone is disgusting because he's so much older, which I alwaysthought was a bit silly.
Well, I made my feelings about that known. *snerk*.
Yes, Logan should trawl the graveyards for a date. I think Drusilla is older than he is, for those folks looking for an age-appropriate gf for him. *g*
The Narnia fic does sound very good. I might have to look for that one of these days.
