Mirage and Cliffjumper: Obsession
Jan. 27th, 2010 11:46 pmMirage and Cliffjumper aren’t often paired. When they are in a story together - paired or otherwise - usually the situation is fairly predictable. One way or another, Cliffumper is “being horrible”. There’s a few variations on a theme, but the thrust is that he a nasty little person who takes an unjustified dislike to Mirage and continually harangues, accuses or uses him. Mirage nearly always goes into victim mode as a result and is sometimes “rescued” by a less cantankerous team member, usually Hound. I guess a lot of this is inspired by the Traitor episode.
I always felt that CJ behaved like he did in Traitor for a reason (people generally do have reasons), and I decided that he must have been a dumped lover. It kind of explained the kiss and make up stuff after as well:D In Forbidden Fantasies there is one version of this as a subplot. This story is not the same universe as FF and explores the relationship during the time on Earth with the assumption that CJ had not actually met Mirage before they came to Earth.
The idea of Mirage as rich, talented and manipulative seducer sits well!
CJ also has a secret friendship with Rumble - but its all platonic.
This chapter around the end of the first series. It’s all CJ’s POV. Next chapter goes back to start of G1 :D
