who is the big spoon/little spoon: Henry's the big spoon -- Eleanor thinks it lulls him into a sense of security. what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Banter, although that could always become sexual at any point, so maybe it doesn't count. Other than that, well, scheming, though the same problem exists. I'm not sure any part of their relationship is devoid of sexual tension, come to think of it. what they order from take out: If there were to be some modern AU of the Lion in Winter, somehow I see Eleanor wanting sushi and Henry wanting a hamburger or fish & chips -- maybe they compromise on a nice curry. what is the most trivial thing they fight over: Which tapestry should hang on the south wall of the dining room. who does most of the cleaning: Neither of the clean! Though Eleanor probably interacts with the service staff more. what has a season pass in their DVR: Again, in a modern AU, I'm thinking... Game of Thrones, True Blood, Revenge, Damages, and Suits. who controls the netflix queue: They both think they do, but my money's on Eleanor. who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Whoever didn't manage to manipulate the other into doing it. who steals the blankets: Henry, I suspect. who leaves their stuff around: Eleanor -- just a few things, but very deliberately placed. who remembers to buy the milk: Eleanor, but again, they have staff for that. who remembers anniversaries: Oh, they both remember, though I'm sure they sometimes pretend to forget.
