Balian and Godfrey - I did only see the movie once, but the interactions between these two were so interesting that I've been avidly reading Orlando/Liam when I've found it. Back to the FPS, though, it is intriguing. I mean, Godfrey says they're father/son, but can't actually prove it, and Balian seems very skeptical and only goes along with him because he needs to get away. The whole incest thing is rather Oedipus-like -- they don't know they're related, they don't have a paternal/filial relationship, or any history together at all, so it's all a bit sketchy whether having sex would be incest in any way other than technically. (Yeah, I'm trying to get around a thing that usually squicks me, because I like this pairing so much.)
I may be reaching, but I think sex between them would be totally devoid of any of the usual incest elements... I see Godfrey being a bit hesitant because he's trying to save his soul, and Balian having more of a "whatever happens, happens" attitude. I'm not sure who would initiate things, but wouldn't it be delicious if Balian got to top? ;)
Drabble in a few days - RL is making this take more time than I had intended.
