The house hippo

moogingIt came to my attention with my last, fear-filled, post that some of you are unaware of the incredible wonderment that is a house hippo. So watch this:
Actually, I have one. Clearly. He lives in my wardrobe and is called Henry-Sebastian-Aloysius. What's your house hippo called?
Baftas tonight! *hyperventilates with glee* Also, the Top Gear-goes-to-America special, which I am told should be rather good.
To keep me occupied today, I have decided to pinch a thing fromrionaleonhart, who is generally awesome and made brilliant use of this on many an occasion:
Give me a character (or multiple characters, or a pairing, or a theory, or a ridiculous AU, or anything you like, really) from a fandom (er, preferably one that I'm familiar with. If you don't know whether I know a fandom or not, feel free to ask. Crossovers are absolutely fine), and a theme to go with it (by 'a theme' I mean anything that will give me some idea of where I'm going - be as vague or as specific as you want to be), and I'll write you a one-sentence fic. You may make as many requests as you like.
I hope you are all pleased that I survived the night in the room of horrible noises.
That is a house hippo. Don't all of you want one? I want one. Also, that is the American version of the advert thingyum. The UK one is slightly different, but still. A house hippo. I will believe everything I see on tv, thanks, because I WANT A HOUSE HIPPO.

I hope that's okay for you!
