Well, everyone's speaking about the US elections, but I think I'll talk about something else instead. LFN folks - I've just decided that I want to read Nikita/Quinn, post-s5. Your thoughts on the pairing, please?
I would love to read Nikita/Quinn, but am not sure how I would do writing it. I'd be soooo tempted to have Quinn sneak arsenic into Nikita's coffee. ;-)
If I were inclined to try it, though, I can only see it working *many* years down the line, when they're both considerably older and have had time to build a long-term working relationship with each other, and with the benefit of having learned to trust and respect each other over that time. Maybe a forty-something Nikita realizing, to her great surprise, that Quinn is the longest-term relationship still left in her life. Or something like that.

I've thought on and off about what N's long term life in the business would be like (I'm not really of the opinion that she's going to crash and burn) and long-term relationships of any nature would be a part of that.
Oh. I didn't think that far ahead - I was too busy imagining PW and Cindy Dolneac (sp?) in a clinch -- attractive, but utterly OOC at the end of S5.
But down the line - yeah. I could see that. I know that after S4, I thought the possibility of a strong working relationship quite likely, and even after S5 I wondered about what kind of relationship they had as operatives in Center prior to events at Section One....

But immediately post-S5, no way.
This could be quite interesting
