Interesting. Before I answer this, I suspect I'm going to have to watch a few more episodes of SHIELD, because I suspect I'm missing key things...

Sherlock, #7

(Not sure whether this fandom qualifies, but still...)

This fandom qualifies. It definitely qualifies. And I love the idea of amnesia!fic. Sherlock with amnesia, obviously. And set whenever (I haven't seen S3 yet - I KNOW, I AM TERRIBLE), but it could be set anytime Sherlock and Watson are working together ( ... )

Yep, Sherlock with amnesia would be loads of fun to write. And you're definitely right, selective amnesia would be the perfect thing - he would still remember who he is and be his usual smug self, all the while struggling to hide his vulnerability.

I would love John taking charge, especially if he threatens to call Mycroft if Sherlock doesn't agree to get checked. Your hints of dialogue are totally in character and absolutely hilarious too, I would definitely love to read that story if someone ever decided to write it.

(I would try to write it myself, but I definitely suck at casefics. Especially when there are medical issues to navigate around.)

As for season 3, I probably have to warn you that some people didn't like it at all. I liked it myself, but I still have to admit it's quite different from the previous ones.

Oooh. Fun!

Jane/Lisbon, #5 (JUST BECAUSE. That may or may not be my favourite trope. Ever.)

Also, question. What on earth is curtain fic? This may be a completely stupid question. But seriously, what is it? Because what if it's something great and I'd want that instead? :p

SO, I have not forgotten abotu this. I will do it at some point. It would be something similarish to Combine and Complement, tbh.

And Curtain fic is apparently fic wehre two characters go and do some sort of menial domestic chore together, like buy curtains. And no worries, I didn't know it either, but I had to look it up, just in case it was something hateful.

Remind me about this by the way, if it takes me a while to get to this.

Hahaha. Actually, I *had* forgotten about this. So I'm not sure how much good it'll do you if I'm responsible of reminding you. And in light of the next episode, maybe 5 wasn't the best option (I wasn't spoiled at the time of choosing number 5, so I had no idea this was actuallly going to be a thing.) So feel free to change if you want!

Curtain fic sounds fun too! Imagine Jane and Lisbon off together doing domestic things. Only instead of going out to buy curtains, they'd have to go out and buy a couch. Because naturally Jane feels that the one Lisbon already has isn't good enough, and anyway he is clearly the expert on all couch-related matters and therefore thinks he should be in charge of the choosing. But Lisbon won't let him just take control and insists on having her say too, since it is her house and if he's going to be practically living there he should get used to compromising and not having his way all the time. So just to annoy him she keeps picking out the worst couches just to see the look of pure horror that crosses his ( ... )

Well, I can do parts of 5. I would set it up somewhat similarly to how they did it on the show. Have them need to pretend in their own charming little house somewhere and pretend to be married. And just, it would be all domesticity all the time. Like cooking together. I want cooking together, okay? And maybe Jane demands "date night, to really sell the con, Lisbon." And it would be so charming ( ... )
