Title: An Encounter At A Strange Border
Author: Red Fiona
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters; the BBC do. No money is being made from this.
Fandom: Being Human
Characters: John Mitchell and John Mitchell (Pilot)
Ratings/Warnings: 15 rated gen, spoilers up to the start of season 2.
Notes: Set after the pilot for Mitchell from the pilot, and just before the start of series 2 for John Mitchell.
Summary: All Mitchell wants to do is get so drunk he forgets everything. He thinks he’s found exactly the right place for that, but fate is about to send that plan awry.

( A vampire walks into a bar, and it’s not the start of a joke. )
End notes: I am sure my title is an accidental riff from some pop culture sci-fi thing, but google is not being helpful as to what. I thought it could be The Twilight Zone but a quick run through the quotes on wiki suggests not. If anyone can identify what it is, I'd be glad to know.
With regard to Being Human, I remain utterly convinced that Hal's story was what they were originally going to do with Mitchell. I was intrigued by the similarities and differences between the pilot and series and I wanted to explore that hence this fic.
LJ end notes: As per usual this the bit where I have to explain that although I do love the pilot more than the show, that doesn't mean I don't love the show. One of the things that always intrigued me was how much they changed Mitchell, I think because they realised that they could/should tell a completely different story with Aiden Turner (one I appreciate, because Aiden Turner covered in fake blood!).
The things that really change are Mitchell's relationships with Annie and George. With Annie, in the pilot, the scene with the men with sticks conversation still gives me goosebumps and Andrea Riseborough's Annie is a lot less innocent/naive, and I think pilot! Mitchell is lying to series! Mitchell in the fic about there being a way past them.
Then there's how differently they relate to George, because series!Mitchell loves George, but pilot!Mitchell *loves* George and the entire understandable breech that occurs at the end of season 1 would probably destroy him in a completely different way to the way it destroys series!Mitchell and eeeeek!
