whoops, a Burn Notice post

[merryghoul]

Apparently for about a year or so, I misread this exchange from "Long Way Back:"

Fiona: I met O'Neill while I was looking for the man who killed my sister. [...] I don't like to talk about it. [...] When she was taken, I was angry and I was loud.

So instead of a canonical mixup with a kidnapping in "Long Way Back" and the mention of the English solider that killed Fi's sister in another, Fiona was talking about her sister passing in the above passage. Mea culpa.

I'll correct this in my Michael/Fiona meta for hc_bingo, and I'll make sure to correct this in my shipmanifestos draft for my, well, Michael/Fiona ship manifesto. I've always wanted to write a Michael/Fiona manifesto since the last het_reccers ship manifesto round, but by the time I had gotten to the post (I was out when it went up), someone had taken Michael/Fiona. (And I was so incensed by the manifesto at the time that I wrote the meta I mentioned above.) I took Parker/Hardison from Leverage instead. And while I like Parker/Hardison, my heart still belongs to Michael/Fiona. So I'm going to take advantage of the shipmanifestos community and write the manifesto of my dreams.

Meanwhile, this has caused a bit of a hiccup in my polybigbang fic, because I was planning to have O'Neill and Fiona share some sort of house together. Back to the drawing board.

[This has been a correction that became a damning rant. Apologies again.]
