Character meme

eruthrosThis meme is quite ridiculous. But after thinking so hard about characters who intrigue me... well, I had to finish all the questions!
The Rules
First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions.
You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.
1. Cordelia Naismith (Vorkosigan series)
2. Methos
3. Daniel Jackson
4. Luthe (Damar)
5. His Grace the Duke of Ankh, Commander of the City Watch, Sir Samuel Vimes
6. Granny Weatherwax
7. Estraven (Left Hand of Darkness
8. Lord Peter Wimsey
9. Commander Susan Ivanova
10. Sherlock Holmes
11. Captain Mal Reynolds
12. Spock
Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to? Okay, that would be ... Granny Weatherwax/Mal. Um. No. Really, really no.
Do you think Four is hot? How hot? I don't know that Luthe is hot, per se. I mean, I think I'd find him attractive -- he's intelligent but understated and emotionally vulnerable. And he can cook.
What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant? I would gouge my eyes out with a spoon? I mean, first you'd have to manage to get Spock and LPW in the same universe (and admittedly Star Trek has time-travel but come ON) and then you'd have to make Peter capable of bearing children and... yeesh. Holodeck, I suppose, in which case absolutely nothing would happen.
Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine? Sadly, Ivanova is under-ficced, except in godawful melodramas that basically go: 1) bring Marcus back to life with plot device 2) have them angst about whether or not to "date" despite really having worked that out when Marcus died 3) happily ever after with babies. I remember reading a good story about Ivanova in her early Earth Force years, and a good Ivanova/Talia, and probably others, but I wouldn't be able to find any of them. Fangirl did a good Ivanova and Talia vid to Tori Amos's "China," though.
Would Two and Six make a good couple? *chokes* Methos/Granny Weatherwax. I dunno -- not as bad as some crossover pairings. I mean, they would try to manipulate each other and argue a lot, and might end up friends -- but Granny Weatherwax and the word "couple" just don't really work together.
Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why? Sam Vimes/Ivanova or Sam Vimes/Sherlock Holmes. Well, the universes of both pairings would have to be hit with a very big crossover fairy wand in order to work at all, so there's no picking that way. I think Vimes would find Holmes an insufferable prat -- sure, Holmes gets his hands dirty sometimes, but mostly it's clues and supposition and "he's a sailor, you see" and showing off, which would drive Vimes bonkers. And Vimes might actually get along with Ivanova, and vice versa. Ivanova's at least got a sense of humor.
What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex? Estraven walks in on Methos and Spock having sex. Estraven wouldn't be freaked by man-on-man action (though he might be curious about Spock's ears and all), but mostly he'd just be interested. He and Spock could talk about biological cycles and how humans don't understand them.
Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic. Daniel/Holmes. Holmes is a Tokra stranded on earth, Daniel reads more ancient languages than you could shake a stick at, both of them completely lack social skills. Together, they fight Goa'uld!
Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff? Cordelia Naismith/Lord Peter fluff... there should be!
Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic. Estraven/Spock... oh, the hormonal hurt/comfort they could have. Fire and Ice? I'm so bad at titles.
What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One? Late bloomer Cordelia takes an exploratory wormhole jump and ends up at a previously undiscovered world.
Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash? Estraven slash. Huh. I'd be surprised if it existed (and if it did, how would you tell the slash from the het?)
Does anyone on your friends list read Three het? Sure, tons of people. Especially Daniel/Sha're (and, I suspect, Daniel/Vala).
Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven? Malcolm Reynolds. Sometimes it seems as though everyone does.
Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five? Methos/Luthe/Sam Vimes... maybe as a joke.
What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion? Holmes is not the screaming sort.
If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose? DLS did a way better job than I would in BH. They sing! They recite poetry! They misquote things!
If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be? Cordelia Naismith/Granny Weatherwax/Spock. "Ridiculous."
What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten? Methos... well, deduction was always Holmes's failing. He can't leave alone a good mystery. "Who am I, Sherlock Holmes?"
When was the last time you read a fic about Five? Same Vimes? The last time![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
copperbadge wrote one, I imagine.
What is Six's super-sekrit kink? People who don't bow down.
Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober? Totally, but more likely when drunk -- Ivanova would intimidate Mal (and he'd pretend not to be intimidated).
If Three and Seven get together, who tops? Daniel/Estraven. It would depend on Estraven's kemmer, in part, but I think Daniel would get off on "letting" Estraven top.
"One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Okay, wait. This is confusing. Cordelia Naismith and Susan Ivanova are in a happy relationship (go Susan! Cordelia won't die or betray you!), but then Susan runs off with Luthe (because... he reminds her of Marcus? he seems intrigued by her? she likes swords better than ships?). Cordelia is broken-hearted, as after the end of her first relationship, so she has a one-night stand with Mal Reynolds (sensible: he's pretty, but fucked up) and a brief relationship with Spock (until she gives up on his insistence on "logic" and the way he follows his other Captain everywhere). Then Sam Vimes, who is renowned for not giving advice, butts in all "lady, you need to stop shitting around and dragging seventeen universes together. The dragons are eating dilithium crystals and you do not want to see that." So Cordelia settles for Daniel Jackson because... he's even less people-friendly than Spock? Yeeeeeeesh. I think I would call it ... "Fish."
Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it. No-one would read it or write it, but someone might be persuaded to write the Cordelia/Ivanova part of it.
How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon? I would giggle. A lot.
