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.

Mary/Bert me up baby. With the prompt tupence. (sp?)

- There are many ways to insult a woman and there are many ways to get out of insulting a woman by being charming and cockney; Bert soon discovered that if he held Mary's hand when she wasn't expecting it, she wrinkled her nose and looked disapproving, but if he gave the old lady feeding the birds a tuppence for a bag, Mary smiled and took his hand freely and stopped looking quite so unattainable.

(Was that okay?)

OMG that was awesome. *sigh* she really does look disapproving at Bert at the mere suggestion that he hold he hand.

I read the rest of the snippets, even though I have never seen BSG, but I wanted to say you are a really good writer :D

If you wrote a whole m/b fic I would do anything for you :)

I wanted to say you are a really good writer :D - thank you! That's so kind of you.

As for a whole Mary/Bert fic...well...*looks mysterious*
