Almost done with project. Almost done with project. Oh my god it's five in the morning.

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] futuresoon :

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteenish words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.


1. Abby Sciuto (NCIS)
2. Polly Wright (Doctor Who)
3. Temperance Brennan (Bones)
4. Ryan Wolfe (CSI: Miami)
5. Tim McGee (NCIS)
6. Liz Shaw (Doctor Who)
7. Will Turner (Pirates of the Caribbean)
8. Captain Christopher Pike (NuTrek)
9. Wendy Watson (Middleman)
10. Nick Stokes (CSI)



First time, 4 and 6 (Ryan, Liz)
She was a visiting professor from Cambridge; he was young and had a thing for competent ladies.

Angst, 7 (Will)
Every time he touches land again the world has grown older without him.

AU, 1 and 8 (Abby, Captain Pike)
"Think you can tell me just what we found on Petrus VII, Sciuto?"
"Have I ever let you down, sir?"

Threesome, 3, 6, and 9 (Bones, Liz, Wendy)
Fortunately, two of them had plenty of experience dealing with weird alien sex spores.

Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10 (McGee, Nick)
It's a year before McGee tells him about the dishonorable discharge. Nick listens; he's good at that.

Crack, 1 (Abby)
She'd tried, she really had, but she just couldn't conceal her superhero alter ego any longer.

Horror, 10 (Nick)
Someone has thought a very long time to devise something worse than the coffin.

Baby!fic, 5 and 9 (McGee, Wendy)
Tony teases him about his "time off", but Wendy's work is too important to take substantive maternity leave.

Dark, 2 and 8 (Polly, Captain Pike)
The ship's captain offers her a trip home, but home is long ago; there's no way back.

Romance, 4 and 7 (Ryan, Will)
"So do you rescue drowning jet-skiers often?"
"Only when they happen across my path."

Deathfic, 2 and 3 (Polly, Bones)
The dead woman's husband flies in from England that morning, and asks Temperance if he can see her.




Once more unto the breachbug box, friends, once more. *sigh*

*squee* That's not really crack, you know... ;-)

Well, probably not, but you have to admit it'd certainly take the show in a different direction!

I wanted to do this meme, but then all your answers were amazing and paralyzed me. Seriously - the angst one is incredible. The threesome one made me exclaim in delight (...not a phrase I ever thought I would say). The horror one made me shiver (and is now driving me nuts trying to imagine the context myself), and all of the other ones just fit so remarkably well. Who knew you could write perfection in a sentence? Better question, who knew a list-of-characters meme could be answered in a non-cracktastic way?

...wow. I didn't expect that, considering this was something I did to keep myself awake. I'm really glad you enjoyed them!

I'm especially glad you like the "angst" one, because I keep meaning to write a fic about Will as Captain of the Dutchman throughout the ages, because while the whole "he gets to go back after 10 years" thing provides for a happy ending it's also never stated onscreen, never explained, leaves the Dutchman with no captain, and seems like kind of a cop-out. So I keep meaning to write that fic. I never do, because that would mean trying to make sense of the plot of At World's End and also I can't write things this year, but maybe someday.

Pretty meme is pretty! I should do this one... kickstart something in my brain. Kickstart my brain in general. ;)

Do it do it! It helped for me to be able to write something short and sweet instead of agonizing over it. :D
