Belly dance hero

I've found a lady who has the same sort of shape as me, who dances the same kind of dance that I would love to dance. She has such precision and confidence-verging-on-arrogance and strength and lyricism and sweetness. I don't know that I can get my creaky old, arthritic person to do some of the things she does (that back bend!) but I love her sense of theatre. I love how she has combined bellydance with inspiration from sci-fi and theatre to make something that is very unique.
Much though I like dancing, I haven't been able to find any genuine love in my heart for the whole 'scantily clad get in touch with your inner goddess who is also a sexy flirt' malarky, chiefly because I don't think I have an inner goddess of any kind, let alone a sexy one. But as a writer I 100% have an inner Evil Galactic Emperor, or an inner hero or villain character of a sort that I can lean into.
So I the new dance I am now wrestling with is inspired by the plot in Stargate Universe in which Chloe - experimented on by aquatic aliens - fears she is losing her humanity, even while she grows stronger and more intelligent.
My question was, why the heck wouldn't you embrace that? Super strength? The ability to do maths? Sign me up.
I've just got to find a way of expressing this in dance.

to clear away dead or dying animals
the sick and injured
they'd take the carcasses
and turn them into something else
that they could sell
and burn whatever was left over
now the knacker's yard
is the palace at parliament
picking off the old and sick
the weak and hurting, those deemed
unfit for human consumption
they render our bodies
for profit

something you can push and feel it give
and know you've initiated
a process
tapping a screen just isn't the same
it's hard and unyielding
give me back the buttons
give me knobs and dials and switches
then maybe we'd have an easier time
turning things
off
IT IS FINISHED

Summary:
"Der er to tusind klagesager mod politiet hvert år. Vi vinder dem allesammen. Er det fordi vi aldrig begår fejl eller fordi vi beskytter hinanden?"
- Carl Mørck, Journal 64
Når Assad bliver anholdt uden gyldigt grundlag, og i processen bliver outet for hele Danmark, må han finde ud af, hvordan han skal forene begge sider af sit liv. Det gør det ikke nemmere, at den mand han er brændende forelsket i, også er hans chef: uopnåelige Carl Mørck.
Carl vil gøre alt for at redde Assads karriere - og for at få de skyldige ned med nakken. Det bliver startskuddet på en følelsesmæssig opdagelsesrejse for Carl, og endnu et led i det opgør han har med sig selv. For når der er så meget galt med ham, hvordan kan han i det hele taget gøre sig fortjent til Assad?

longest thing I ever wrote, and it is, finally, finished!!! I have been working on this for OVER A YEAR. I got the idea back in October 2023 but I was working on a different fic at the time, and then there was Yuletide, so I didn't start writing until January 2024. I did start posting chapters on AO3 on April 20th 2024 and I was determined to finish this fic before or on that date - and well, today is April 20th 2025, and I put the final touches on the last two chapters and did several rounds of edits, and now the chapters are up and posted and I am DONE. FINISHED.
