Fandom: ANDROMEDA
Pairing: Dylan/Tyr

Why this must be read:  My favorite pairing is one often requested but rarely written.  The increasing unlikability and unpopularity of Dylan is one reason. Another is the challenge of pairing two physically matched, strong, Alpha characters who were, if not enemies, at least competitive and deeply suspicious of each other.

In Omega, Becca Abbott proposes a strategy for Dylan to control his threatening shipmate, one rooted in the politics of Nietzschean culture. Like everything between these two, it's not easy.


 A taste:

"How long has he been at it?"

"About an hour, sir."

The captain's long mouth quirked into another mirthless smile. "Good. I'm going to join him. As soon as I do, shut down access to the gym: no one gets in, no one gets visual or audio."

"Yes, sir." Rommie fell silent a moment, then: "Would this have anything to do with those sexually explicit entertainment disks you were watching last night?"

Rommie was an AI; there was no reason for his face to heat. Nevertheless, Dylan felt the flush of embarrassment burn from his neck through his cheeks.

"Just do it, Rommie."

"Yes, sir." This time, there was no mistaking the smugness in that soft, light voice. "May I watch?"
