This is what we call a fortuitous circumstance.

[hackthis_archive]

When I did the casting for my Warrior Angel-verse, Cal (Warrior Angel) was played by Lex and Sean (Devilicus) was played by Clark. In the post-Issue 66 aftermath, they split up and Callum got a new partner, Hector. Naturally, they got involved, because what else would I do with two attractive, single, fictional men?

But the corker here is that I originally cast Ian Somerhalder as Hector long before he played Adam on Smallville.

So, really, I was shipping Lex/Adam before it even existed. I'm so smart!

Wait, that says Cillian as Hector. I'm confused!!!!

That was a momentary casting couch waffling thing. Ian was originally Hector, and then in my post-28 Days Later haze I changed it for a bit, but I forgot to change it back, so now I have. Dude, that was a long explanation, no?

Either way, you definitely had a type going. And I know your thing for Cillian is a pure impulse. *g*

And yay! You were always wanting to replace Clark. Er, Devlin. Ah, hell. SEX WITH PRETTY BOYS ROCKS!

No, see in WA-verse, I actually love Sean. In that universe he's my Lex, i.e. good intentions, but bad results. He's very flawed. He's Sean. And he has Sir Ian Nigel as his advisor. Dude, I rocked at casting that.

Hey, Wendi and I cast Ian as Ethan for our sweeping boylove epics, and Ethan usually ends up sleeping with Jesse, who is played by... Michael Rosenbaum! Lex/Adam was *destiny*!

Dude, Ian is Ethan for the Jesse/Jonathan thing? My god that's a lot of names in one sentence. I digress. Really -- it's fated. Clark who? I'm almost tempted to try my hand at an AU after Resurrection, but no. I'm not feeling that driven.

LOL!! Well, Welling does double duty as both Jonathan and Teddy (whom I don't believe you've met...) but there's not a lot of Clark there at all. And I've been futzing with the story that got Jossed, and just depending on how Adam gets dispatched on the show, I may well go ahead and write it and just call it a Jossing AU or some shit like that. But yes, dude, really! Ian is Ethan. :)
