Okay, I want the Sir Kalinda AU now. (Conveniently already illustrated!)
You're absolutely right, that Alicia can be prompted into realizing how protective she is of Kalinda, even if that protectiveness doesn't spring from the same base. And that 'prompting' relates to what you were discussing below:
Alicia often doesn't say things because then they become true
Performative utterances, almost. Harvey Sacks has this theory that the generative mechanisms of conversation are partly preconscious because dialogue can be exchanged too rapidly for deliberation. I take issue with partitioning consciousness since it relies on some form the of Cartesian theater, but the point is, I like the idea of Alicia not knowing what's going on with her until she's forced to process or shocked into an utterance. And the funny thing is, I had thought of Kalinda as being bad at feelings...
