My brain goes some odd places ...

ysobelSo I was at a (very awesome) symphony concert tonight, and my mind wandered, as it often does, and i found myself noticing that the timpani guy looked vaguely like Michael Fassbender--
(and by vaguely I mean very vaguely, since my seat was at the back of the orchestra and timpani are at the back of the stage, and between the distance and my tendency towards nearsightedness, faces are kind of vague flesh-colored blobs, like a LJ icon made from a very large image source using a bad compression algorithm.)
--and I started daydreaming a XMFC AU with Erik as a percussionist, with a preference for metal (eg drums and cymbals) because he can feel the resonance, and manipulate it. I toyed with Charles as the conductor even though there was no visual similarity, because he'd have a good energy and good charisma; and I toyed with a serial-numbers-filed-off origfic version; but over and over I kept coming back to Erik and the drums.
