sometimes I would like to find fic I want to read that I didn't have to write first
I do not tend to peruse the anon communities, because anonymous stuff tends to make my insecure self uncomfortable. But bloody_american pointed at the Panfandom Rec Meme over at fandomsecrets, and I am kind of bored and not writing, so I was browsing the requests, and someone over there requested Wendell/Hodgins Bones fic. OMG you guys that is the best idea of all time.
Why wouldn't Hodgins do a little experimenting of his own after that mess with Angela? If she can go out with a girl, there's no reason he can't go out with a guy. Hodgins is enlightened enough not to be all weirded out by it. And Wendell! So adorable with his little face and his Southie accent and his hockey playing!
I am going to go ahead and choose to believe that Wendell is the person Hodgins was talking about moving on with this week. I know that we are supposed to be rooting for him to get back together with Angela, but I sort of wish she'd DIAF, so I hope that never happens. And if he can't be with Zach, who was clearly his soulmate, I'm okay with him taking a little comfort in Wendell. Mostly because I know Wendell and Zach will probably never be on the show at the same time, since they fill the same role at the Jeffersonian. Though if they ever do bring Zach back, I suppose they will have to promote him, because he doesn't exactly count as a grad assistant anymore.
Whatever, whatever, I just want to read about Hodgins' and Wendell's second date! And their first date, which was probably an accident, but it went well enough that Hodgins is excited to see him come back up on the grad assistant rotation. And when Brennan makes him feel all nervous, Hodgins talks him down in his way, except that it just makes it worse, because it's Hodgins.
And then Angela would find out and think it's hot, and Hodgins would be pissed that she's not more jealous, and Wendell would be hurt that Hodgins is just using him to get back at Angela, and it would be a giant, drama-filled mess with Sweets sticking his stupid nose right in the middle and I would LOVE IT. I would also love lots of stolen kisses and possibly Angela walking in on them having make-up sex in the storage room that used to be her and Hodgins' place, and getting to experience the stabbity feeling of knowing it is over for real and you threw away the best thing you ever had.
She might even try to get Hodgins back, but by then he'd have fallen in love, and Angela would be history. Too bad, so sad. Of course if Zach ever resurfaces, I would accept a Hodgins/Wendell break-up, because anyone can see that Hodgins really loved Zach the whole time. It would be sad and angsty and I would cry for poor Wendell, but then he could move on to some other lab and start over. And the sequel could be about him finding love again at his new job. Maybe he could go to CSI: NY and date Flack now that Danny's knocked up his girlfriend and there's no chance of them ever being together. (I am open to other crossover suggestions if you've got 'em.)
They would be so cute together OMG I am in love with this idea. I sort of wish I'd never looked at that stupid post now, except then I would never have Wendell/Hodgins in my imagination and how did I live without it all this time?
I am not allowed to write Bones fic because I'm on a new fandom ban*. I am not going to do it. But I put the idea out there into the universe in the hope that someone else will. And if someone does and any of you stumble across it, you better tell me.
Unrelatedly, I keep hearing weird banging noises in my walls, but when I shut off the music they stop. So if you never hear from me again, I guess I have been killed by something out of a Japanese horror film. That would be something, wouldn't it?
* Not counting the times I take requests or post a writing meme and someone I like asks for a fandom I've never written. Then it totally doesn't count.
