The house is almost quiet. Toby's at the movies with Howard- they're seeing Oceans. Trevor is upstairs, napping in theory but talking in his crib. Which is too bad, because he needs the sleep. We took them to a car show last night, and they didn't get to bed until late.
I uploaded a bunch of old stuff to AO3 (including some HP, which shows you how old), and did the 25 word ficlet meme (to follow). I'm debating a nap, but I suspect Trevor will get grumpy and start yelling as soon as I fall asleep. What I should do is write- I've got a partly done review of Moon on my desk top, and I have to do my remix. I think I FINALLY have a bunny for that. Hallelujah. However, I am feeling very lazy, and my in-laws are coming at 5:00 for dinner. We'll see.
In the meantime, have a meme!
1. Write down the names of 11 characters.
2. Write a fic of twenty-five words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.
1. Toby Zeigler (The West Wing)
2. Xander Harris (Buffy)
3. Barney Stimson (How I Met Your Mother)
4. Kaylee Frye (Firefly)
5. Anastasia Dualla (Battlestar Galactica)
6. Tina Hakim-Baba (The Princess Diaries)
7. Kermit the Frog (The Muppets)
8. Sid the Sloth (Ice Age)
9. Mulan (Mulan)
10. Sam Adama (Caprica)
11. The Librarian (Discworld)
1. First time, 4 and 6 (Kaylee Frye and Tina Hakim-Baba)
"Were you scared?" Kaylee asked. "Simon says he was real scared his first time."
Tina nodded. "It's hard not to be when cutting into someone."
2. Angst, 7. (Kermit the Frog)
Kermit called Jamie Bamber's dressing room. He could hear her laughing in the background.
She'd never know it bothered him when she flirted with guests.
3. AU, 1 and 8. (Toby Zeigler, Sid the Sloth)
"This isn't happening," Toby insisted.
"That's what conservatives say - global warming's fake. But does this look frozen to you?" Sid asked, brandishing a muddy foot.
4. Threesome, 3, 6 and 9. (Barney Stimson, Tina Hakim-Baba, Mulan)
"Bondage. I like the way you ladies think." Barney thought he was getting lucky. But judging by the girls' smiles, this game wasn't about sex.
5. Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10. (Anastasia Dualla, Sam Adama)
"Is it genetic?" Dee asked the old man. "Are all Adama men this stupid?"
Sam poured their drinks and bolted his back. "Yeah. We are."
6. Crack, 1. (Toby Zeigler)
Toby never thought he'd be singing about what was wrong with this bill and detailing how the senator was a moron. But it was catchy.
7. Horror, 10. (Sam Adama)
They all rose out of the water to face him, every person he had ever killed. Sam steeled himself and gripped his knives.
8. Baby fic, 5 and 9. (Anastasia Dualla, Mulan)
"All right, Hera," Dee said. "Arms at your side, stand at attention." Hera obeyed.
"We'll make a great soldier out of you," Mulan said happily.
9. Smut, 2 and 8. (Xander Harris, Sid the Sloth)
"I'm not watching a sloth porno!" Xander insisted.
"Oh, like you've got anything better to do tonight," Sid retorted, snatching the video off the shelf.
10. Romance, 4 and 7. (Kaylee Frye, Kermit the Frog)
"This is real nice," Kaylee said, her eyes shining.
"Oh, good," Kermit said.
"Although it's not the first time I've had dinner in a swamp."
11. Death fic, 2 and 11. (Xander Harris, the Observer)
"I never thought it would end like this," Xander said.
"Ook."
"With a monkey."
He never thought it would end like that, either.
1. Cally Henderson
2. Caprica Six
3. Kara Thrace
4. Tom Zarek
5. Narcho
6. Billy Keikeya
7. Laura Roslin
8. Sharon Agathon
9. Helo Agathon
10. Louis Hoshi
11. Ellen Tigh
1. First time, 4 and 6. (Tom Zarek and Billy Keikeya)
"Mr. Zarek," Billy said. "I just wanted to say I've read your book, and I thought it was fascinating."
Zarek's answering smile was incredulous.
2. Angst, 7. (Laura Roslin)
Her career would have ended years ago if she hadn't had the right to choose. Laura knew that. But now there could be no choice.
3. AU, 1 and 8. (Cally Henderson, Sharon Agathon)
"All right," Sharon whispered to Cally, hiding behind brush. "Now!
They opened fire on the Centurion firing squad aimed at the prisoners, including their husbands.
4. Threesome, 3, 6 and 9. (Kara Thrace, Billy Keikeya, Helo Agathon)
"Well?" Kara asked as the hatch closed behind Billy's hastily departing form, "what did you think?"
Helo smirked. "Why do we always underestimate the geeks?"
5. Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10. (Narcho, Louis Hoshi)
Noel found him after Jurgen's death. "I don't want to talk," Louis snapped.
"I know," Noel said, opening his arms. "That's why I'm here."
6. Crack, 1. (Cally Henderson)
The Cylons lined up facing their queen. Cally smiled benevolently. "Okay," she said. "We've frakked with Baltar's head enough. Now let's start in on Starbuck."
7. Horror, 10. (Louis Hoshi)
The Admiral grabbed Louis's arm and sliced it open with her knife. And when she did, wires and circuitry were visible under the blood.
8. Baby fic, 5 and 9. (Narcho, Helo Agathon)
"I never thought you'd do this well with a kid," Helo said, scooping Hera back up.
Narcho shrugged. "Yeah, well, back on Scorpia… never mind."
9. Smut, 2 and 8. (Caprica Six, Sharon Agathon)
"From my experience, human men really enjoy the woman on top," the Six confided.
The Eight grinned with wicked anticipation. "I hope you're right!"
10. Romance, 4 and 7. (Tom Zarek, Laura Roslin)
It was cold and the music was distant, but no one could see them in the night. "Come on, Laura," Tom said. "Dance with me."
11. Death fic, 2 and 11. (Caprica Six, Ellen Tigh)
"Isn't it odd that I'm afraid?"
"Not at all. But it will be all right. You'll be with him again." Caprica kissed her mother's forehead.
