musesfool asked:
Mulder, Susan, the Tenth Doctor, and Tonks discover fandom. Who writes in which fandom? Who is a BNF? Who gets namechecked on fandom_wank once a month?
Let's start with Susan. She isn't quite sure she likes it when people make things up. Belief is a powerful thing, and when it's millions of people across the world, all happily, intensely believing... she's not sure she likes it. So while she knows fandom exists, and she keeps an eye on it, it's strictly for reasons of caution. Her grandfather, in the meantime, doesremixredux pinch-hits, because he's used to rewriting the story of the world.
The Doctor writes Hitch-Hiker's fic, Arthur/Ford usually, and he's on f_w once a month without fail. He calls it a human social experiment. He's also committed pseusicide ten times.
Tonks writes in the Jossverse fandoms, and it's NC-17 femmeslash all the way. She's the BNF who always pisses people off - last month she basically accused the entire slash-writing contingent of blatant misogyny - but she writes well enough that people tend to crawl back to read her fic. Usually.
Mulder stumbled across fandom when tracking down his latest pack of conspiracy theorists. His immediate reaction was that finally, finally, he'd found people crazier than him, and he shut down the website with a happy feeling of satisfaction. Since then, though, he's gone back a few times. He wrote Shep/McKay once and it was reasonably well-received. Most of the time he just hangs around on LJ comms, only coming out to post quiet, detailed feedback. He likes these people. He enjoys their squee, their talents, their joy. When the truth comes out, he reckons they're gonna be thrilled.
Mal is having Hawkeye, Sam, Remus, Josh and Jack Harkness over for dinner. What does he/she serve? What are the seating arrangements? Does a fight break out?
He serves protein rations, of course. With some fresh fruit, because Book insisted. He sits himself as far as possible from Hawkeye, but it doesn't work - they get into a raging argument about the nature of war - Mal, of course, thinks it's a good idea as long you're on the right side, whereas Hawkeye thinks they're all nuts for even starting to fight, and then Mal claims Hawkeye's never seen the reality and then Hawk starts yelling about idiot sergeants and meatball surgery and it all gets very messy. Josh tries to arbitrate, but the moment Hawkeye finds out he works in Washington, he goes for him and it ends up being a three-way brawl. In the meantime, Jack is happily perving over Sam and trying to get his number. Sam doesn't notice, because he thinks he might have guessed Remus's secret. Remus knows he's guessed Sam's.
Giles and Aziraphale move in together. Which one is the neat freak and which is the slob?
They're both obsessively neat, most of the time, but they both leave their books everywhere. After a while they realise that they have basically the same library of books, so they end up holding it all in common and getting on like a house on fire.
Thursday and Rodney find themselves in possession of a toddler-ized Daniel. How do they deal? Do they all survive? Is 11 traumatized tremendously when s/he returns to his/her normal age?
Rodney, of course, freaks out. The sight of toddler!Daniel makes him shout a lot about having never signed up for babysitting, for God's sake, and why the hell does it have to be Daniel, who's one of the few people at Stargate Command who didn't actually speak much English as a toddler. Thursday takes it all in her stride, introduces Daniel to Friday, who has soon taught him to speak Lorem Ipsum, and the two of them wreak banana-wielding havoc. Which drives Rodney to the bottle, until Thursday stamps on his feet and threatens to have him erased from fiction.
Once back to his adult self, Daniel retains the knowledge of Lorem Ipsum and says it's worth it just for that. He gets a bit mournful, though, and tells Rodney about his parents' deaths, and Rodney just sits there and pretends like he isn't crying into his beer.
cedara asked:
If Sam lives together with Remus and Remus meets Josh (who lives with Mal), would Remus and Josh fall in love? If not, would all four all go out and have a drink at the pub together?
I imagine Sam and Remus live together very happily. There's a big age gap between them, but they both had outsider childhoods and Remus's life-experience comes in very handy when Sam's out hunting things. They're not actually together, but all the same, Sam gets unaccountably jealous when Remus meets Josh and the two end up honing their very sharp wits into even greater sharpness on each other. There are sparks, but they don't turn into anything, and in the end they do all get along quite nicely. Remus and Mal are little suspicious of each other - Mal can tell he's hiding something - Sam never quite takes to Josh, but once there's alcohol, it's okay.
amchau asked:
Hawkeye & Jack find that they have been set up on a blind date. Is it a good date? Fun, horrifying, other? What happens? Will they be having another date?
They do get on, sort of; Hawkeye makes Jack laugh, and Hawkeye finds Jack intriguing, but sparks don't really fly. That said, they move on from dinner to a bar and they're still sitting there at last call, cracking jokes and bit by bit, telling each other secrets. There's no romance, but they promise to meet again. And they do, and it still takes alcohol before they'll open up, but they're grateful for each other.
Giles & Josh find themselves in a war zone. How do they react?
Josh thinks he knows what to do, and opens his mouth to say so, and then realises suddenly that he knows what war looks like from the other side, which isn't the side of the enemy - it's the well-lit rooms without the mud. He tells himself sternly to shut up, and asks, "What shall we do?"
Giles isn't exactly sure, but he's handled a few weapons in his time. They'll manage.
Daniel has just found out the title of Harry Potter book 7. Which of the others does he tell first? Second? How do they react?
First of all he thinks he probably shouldn't tell anyone. But then he decides he probably has enough secrets in his life, and locks his office door, rings a number he's sure he isn't supposed to know, and tells Remus Lupin. Who sighs, thanks Daniel warmly, makes a cup of tea and goes back to his copy of 100 Things You Must Do Before You Die.
Daniel also tells Thursday, who nods grimly, goes stamping into the Great Library and demands to know who blabbed.
heidi8 asked:
Susan, Aziraphale and Rodney McKay each obtain a copy of Deathly Hallows - what is each of their reactions, which of them read it, and what do they eventually do with the copy?
None of them read it. Susan disapproves of made-up magic - enough people start believing in this sort of thing, and there will be small gods rising in every graveyard in Ankh - and Aziraphale isn't entirely sure what it's about, but he will read it one day. One day soon. Maybe this century, maybe next. Meanwhile, one of the reasons Rodney went to the Pegasus Galaxy was to get away from the Harry Potter phenomenon.
thiswaltz asked:
Sam, Mulder, Tonks and the Doctor are stuck in a house with the power out for a few days. lets say they have heat, flashlights and enough food and a whole lot of time, what do they do to amuse themselves? Talk? Fight? Sudoku? Strip scrabble? also, they have a laptop/portable dvd player thingy with enough battery to watch *one* movie/tv episode. what do they watch? (or do they argue about it so long that somebody smashes it over sombody else's head?)
Mulder finds out very quickly that the Doctor is a Time Lord, that Tonks is a metamorph witch, and that Sam has spent his entire life chasing monsters. They take turns telling him stories, and Mulder's not too sure he should believe that there are dogs with no noises in Barcelona, or that there exist racist monster trucks, or that Tonks' boyfriend, a mild-mannered scruffy guy whom Mulder has met once or twice, is secretly a werewolf, but mostly he sits there grinning from ear to ear and making notes at crazy speed. Once he's run out of ink, they play a few rounds of poker.
That gets dull, so they turn to DVDs. They're all set to have a raging argument about it, but Sam informs them that it'll be a forty-five minute argument, and it'll be really, really dull, and he already knows they're going to decide on the episode of Red Dwarf where everything goes backwards, so they settle down to watch that.
At which point Mulder gets how Sam knew what they were going to decide on, and nearly expires from excitement. And then resolves never again to play poker with psychics.
what's Rodney's favourite book and why?
This is. Because.
Hawkeye and Thursday committed a crime - what was it, why'd they do it and who finds them out?
Heee, I'm pretty sure Hawkeye and Thursday would get on marvellously. Let's see... Thursday leaps out of fiction into Korea, 1951. Hawkeye is in the middle of gluing a visiting three-star general's shoes to the floor. Thursday appears out of nowhere, and understanding that for Hawkeye this is entirely in-character, helps him out. Thus emboldened, they also put salt in the same general's beer, soap on his toothbrush and a live chicken into his suitcase.
When the general dies of a heart attack in the middle of the night, they get into trouble. In fact, they nearly get court-martialled, as Colonel Potter is away and Frank's in charge. Thursday book-jumps them into The Sword of the Zenobians just in time, and offers Hawkeye a job in Jurisfiction. Hawkeye says he'll think about it before going back. He knows he can't ever leave Korea, but he remembers the offer, keeps it as a treasure in his head to look at when things get bad, and Thursday wouldn't admit it, but she keeps an eye on him.
casirafics asked:
Susan, Rodney and Jack Harkness are our last defense against a zombie incursion. What weapons have they rigged up, who's going to come out on top and who, if anyone, gets eaten? braaaaaaaaaains.
Rodney, of course, runs around yelling "Oh my god we're going to die!" and is generally no help at all. Once he gets the hang of remove-the-head-and-destroy-the-brain, he does wallop a few with a baseball bat. And enjoys it too, so there. Of course, given the other two are technically immortal, he's the one who should be eaten, but for one reason or another that just doesn't happen. The zombies are afraid of indigestion.
Jack has a special zombie-killing gun. It's probably best not to ask where he was hiding it.
Susan leaves it as her last resort, but then she brings out the voice. YES, THIS VOICE. And the zombies suddenly have somewhere else they need to be, real soon now oh yes, and lurch off into the dark. Some of the brighter ones, inasmuch as zombies can be bright, realise that Death's granddaughter is no danger when you're already dead, and they have another go at her.
I'm not saying she messes with their heads, or anything, but there are a lot of zombies working in retail these days.
Alternately: Mulder and Giles have to agree on one Earth-bound vacation spot. Where do they go, what do they pack, and -- assuming a plane flight -- how do things go with airport security?
Mulder wants to go to Mexico, for some reason. Giles fancies Rome. They bicker, then try to compromise, and eventually they realise they were both at Oxford back in the day and wouldn't mind seeing the dear old place again, so that's where they go. Giles travels with holy water and stakes, which he has to take out of his bag at the X-ray machines. The guards are clearly suspecting that this is some strange sort of fetish when Mulder flashes his FBI badge and they're waved through.
It's mid-June, and they wander around Oxford at the height of Finals, with glitter-bedecked undergrads stumbling drunkenly out of Exam Schools, and it makes them both feel old. They finally end up in the Botanical Garden, among the ivy, which is gleaming in the sun. After a bit, Giles starts to laugh and says maybe you can go home again, sometimes. And Mulder takes off his jacket in the warmth, and smiles.
