The house hippo

[mooging]

It 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:

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.

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.

(Argh, this is monumentally not. good.) Keep in mind I haven't seen any of S3 yet, in case that makes a difference at all!

- Six watches: not Baltar today, today she wanders and sees that woman, the ex-President, usually so collected and in control, lighting a cigarette with shaking hands and the last of her matches and taking deep breathes with colourless lips, and Six wanders back away from the moment between two tents; later, Six watches Baltar and thinks about God's plan, and Laura's trembling fingers around a dying flame.

I hope that's okay for you!

oh! i loved it. i especially loved the imagery of laura's fingers around the dying flame. *le sigh*

I'm glad you liked it! It was quite odd to write, seeing as I wanted to use Baltar's imaginary/chip/whatever Six and, you know, Laura can't see her.
