Hee hee! I just saw a post by
tielan about something called
trope bingo. Not signing up but will probably use them as prompts for Nikita/Michael and Carrie/Quinn fan fic. Some ones I like beneath the cut :) Only problem is, Homeland fans tend to be so much more serious and I have a feeling that they would really disapprove of such cracktastic type stuff :)
