Do people who write Christian Kane in all those J2 stories even know who the hell he is? They screw him up almost as much as they screw up Michael and Tom. Very annoying.
I'm using a CK variant in my current long J2 AU. Mr Christopher Caine is neither the wingman nor the rival, but a sporting buddy to my Jensen character. He's a great horseman, a cocky fighter, and a bit of a warm sentimentalist under a bluff exterior. He serves two main narrative functions: he's the voice of straightdom by which my Jensen character gets a better idea of his own different-ness, and he gives my Jensen character someone to exposition interact with besides my Jared character.
Ah, that I get completely, and it makes sense. Sometimes he's just....*in* a story, doing nothing but being drunk and cursing and all Texas, or Okalahoma, whatever.
So, ya'll exchanging Christmas cards and stuff this year? Seeing as how you guys are practically relatd now....
*flips hair* Oh, totally. We're likethis, Chris 'n' me.
If I'm going to write "classic" RPS, where the known trufax are arrayed to produce slash and squee, I can't see throwing in every person the principals are acquainted with just for the hell of it.

That said, Christian makes a nice chorus.
