Right, fic-writing is currently something I want to do but none of the characters are behaving and I can't get anything to work (except Ed Byrne and Russell Howard, who, conversely, won't shut the hell up when I want them to, and, yes, they do count as characters, be quiet), so I call upon the powers of meme and the uber-powers of friends-list, and ask you to bear another one-sentence fic meme, to get me in the writing mind-set again.
Pretty please?
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.
ILYOUALL.

Date: 2007-08-30 12:35 pm (UTC)Out of all the juvenile happenstances Dara had witnessed when filming Mock the Week, the one involving David Mitchell and Russell Howard having a fairly fierce flailing-girl-fist fight: later, when the two of them had been dragged apart and Dara had recovered enough from all the laughing to actually ask what had set the whole thing off, Russell had turned faintly pink and mumbled something about shirts, and maybe about colours, and there may have been something about tee-shirts versus formal shirts, and then had gone away, and Dara had boggled a bit and decided not to mention this in filming, as amusing as it might be, because it made his head go woozy in the bad way, and it was just plain stupid to have a girly slap-fight over shirts/

Date: 2007-08-30 12:38 pm (UTC)Whenever Stacey thought about Greg in the years after their relationship, she thought about him playing the piano: the keys reminded her of their time together, moving through high notes and low notes, melodious and loud and tame by turns and always manipulated, powered, controlled by Greg and his long fingers pressing key after key, and she uses this to help her get by (to help her live with the guilt).
(If you want another one, I don't mind, because arrgh, I'm not sure how good that is.)

Date: 2007-08-29 10:31 pm (UTC)- A bit later: "Ed," says the other man, and when there is no response: "Ed. Ed-Ed-Ed-Ed-Ed."
"I'm sorry, says Ed, his voice muffled by the other man's mouth. "I can't hear you through my face."

- The first couple to make use [of the cupboard] is a beaming man with wide eyes and a skinnier man with close-cropped hair.
"We've only got a minute," says the skinnier man, looking worried, but the other man grabs him by the collar of his odd-looking jacket and he falls abruptly silent.

Date: 2007-08-30 12:46 pm (UTC)After a few weeks of vaguely tremulous patting, and little sly glances, and maybe the odd hand-holding event, Jonty finally snapped, turned to Will and said, "Good God man, if you don't drag into a nearby cupboard with your teeth, I cannot be held responsible for my actions, which may or may not involve a ukulele and sensitive parts of your anatomy!", to which Will had replied to by turning quite red and pulling him off the stage by his bow-tie (Jonty had, in the heat of the moment, forgotten that they were between sets in a performance, and not, as his brain had helpfully supplied with the wrong information entirely, alone in a small room).
I DON'T CARE IF I TOOK TERRIBLE LIBERTIES WITH GRAMMAR, IT'S TOTALLY A VALID SENTENCE.

Date: 2007-08-31 12:00 pm (UTC)#2: It isn't often Lucius Malfoy goes clothes shopping (normally, the clothes are brought to him and he sneers at them or feigns disdain long enough to terrify their maker before pretending to relent, taking them to his walk-in wardrobe - which is, in fact, a walk-in room: he finds wardrobes constrict his majesterial glamour - and swishing around in front of the mirrors, testing them with all his hair flicks and haughty looks he can muster, to make sure they won't diminish his impressive nature), but when he does, everyone in the shop snaps to and runs for their wands, just in case: he is a death eater, and what's worse, he's picky.
