A fic pairings meme
I just spent an hour or so working on this meme which I stole from
nike_ravus , who stole it from
wizened_cynic. It was a lot of fun and gave me even more ideas for fics, not that I needed more, as my plot bunny file currently has at least 20 different bunnies in it and they seem to be multiplying all the time. Here's the meme.
.
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. Willow Rosenberg (Btvs)
2. Buffy Summers (Btvs)
3. Tara Maclay (Btvs)
4. Dawn Summers (Btvs)
5. Cameron (Ttscc)
6. Catherine Weaver (Ttscc)
7. Echo (Dollhouse)
8. Adelle DeWitt (Dollhouse)
9. Paris Gellar (GG)
10. Lorelei Gilmore (GG)
11. Rory Gilmore (GG)
12. Elle Woods (Legally Blonde)
The Questions (and my answers) are behind the cut
Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
Sure, that would be pretty wild, innocence, experience, power, brains, plus a hot brunette and gorgeous redhead. The Gilmore family turns out to be involved in financing a computer company that Catherine needs. She turns to them for help, and when she meets Rory sparks fly.
Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Hell yeah, Dawn is the second hottest lady on Buffy just behind Willow. She's gorgeous, I love those almost translucent grey eyes, and she's smart and capable.
What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
OMG, that would be absolutely crazy. Adelle would probably keep the baby, just because she would like some more human contact in her life. The Dollhouse keeps her busy, but she would probably find some way to incorporate a baby and maybe even Elle into her world. The best way i can see this happening, is if Elle ended up as Adelle's lawyer over a private matter and they bonded. They would certainly respect each other's intellect and Adelle would be admiring over Elle's strong will and desire to prove herself.
Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
Sadly, I can only rec a couple, I so wish there were more good ones. Nate's Longing with a Cherry on Top series is excellent, I also really liked Jae_W's Boston Marriage. There are a couple of other decent ones that I can't remember at the moment.
Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Buffy and Catherine Weaver? They would make a wierd couple, but they could probably work out. Catherine would respect Buffy's moral center and Buffy's had relationships with people who weren't exactly human before, so as long as Catherine didn't kill any innocents Buffy wouldn't mind too much. Buffy would also like Savannah and I think she would respect Catherine's devotion to both Savannah and John Henry. They would probably have an occasional big argument because they are both so strong willed.
Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
Cameron/Paris or Cameron/Lorelei? They would both be interesting, but I'd have to go with Cameron/Paris because I think Cameron would deal a lot better with the serious and logical side of Paris and that similarity would make it easier for them to work together and for Cameron to learn more about being human. Lorelei is just too flighty to deal well with Cameron, although I can see that dynamic working as well.
What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
Echo walking in on Buffy and Elle having sex? I think she would probably back out of the room quietly because she's nice that way, unless it was dominatrix Echo in which case she would probably give them pointers until one or both of them yelled at her to leave and then she would give them a stern look before leaving in her own time.
Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Lorelei Gilmore and Tara Maclay. Okay, I'd mess with the relative timelines. When 16 year old Lorelei is running away with baby Rory, one of the places she ends up is Green's Hollow, where she encounters 17 year old Tara in the general store. Lorelei is looking for a place to stay and some way to make money and Tara takes her to meet Tara's grandmother who is getting old and could use some help around the house. By the time Tara's grandmother dies, Tara and Lorelei are dating, having bonded in part over their oppressive parents and over the cuteness of baby Rory.
Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
Um. I guess there could be. Say for example that Willow gets a job working at the Dollhouse and she and Adelle find themselves hanging out occasionally, just because she's the only other person there who would really get Adelle and they both enjoy mocking Topher behind his back. I don't think they sleep together, but you never know, they would both be lonely.
Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
Echo and Elle Woods, hurt/comfort.
Elle is the lawyer for a Dollhouse client although she doesn't know that about him. Echo is brought in as a legal aide. During the course of the trial, they realize that their client is guilty and there's nothing they can do to keep him from being convicted. Elle breaks down in Echo's arms and they do indeed comfort each other, and then when the case is over, Echo is summoned back to the Dollhouse and finds herself unable to resist, breaking Elle's heart. In the sequel, Elle discovers that Echo's background was falsified and sets out to find out what happened to her. The Series is called Searching for Echoes.
What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
Dawn deflowering Willow Okay, it's been established that Dawn likes to break the rules sometimes, so during Season 4, after Oz leaves, but before Willow meets Tara, Dawn, who has been harboring a crush on her sister's best friend for years finally acts on it. She sneaks off with one of Giles' magic books and casts a glamour so that she appears a few years older and blonde, and meets Willow at a college party where she uses a combination of a light suggestion spell and alcohol to seduce Willow. The next morning, Willow wakes up before Dawn does and discovers that the glamour has worn off so she is in bed with her best friend's younger sister. Panic ensues, but Dawn manages to persuade Willow not to say anything to Buffy. A few weeks later, Willow meets Tara and the rest is history except of the occasional awkward moment between Willow and Dawn.
Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
Definitely, Echo is hot and if we count any of Eliza's other characters it gets slightly insane.
Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
Its possible, Tara shouldn't be with men, but I've seen it done and I actually found Kyra Cullinan's Tara/Oz fic Down Through the Morning to be lyrical and deeply touching.
Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
Rory, nothing that I know of, certainly nothing recent.
Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
Buffy/Dawn/Cameron?? That's a hell of a crack pairing right there, but people are strange so it's possible.
What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
Ooh, Rory!! (Someone had to do it.)
If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
Adelle, Hmm. Song fics aren't really my thing, but I'd probably end up going with Neko Case's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood particularly the last three verses:
Clouds hang on these curves like me
And I kneel to the wheel of the fox confessor
On splendid heels
And he shames me from my seat
And on my guilty feet
I follow him in retreat
What purpose in these deeds
Oh fox confessor please
Who married me to these orphan blues
It’s not for you to know
But for you to weep and wonder
When the death of your civilization precedes you
Will I ever see you again?
Will there be no one above me to put my faith in?
I flooded my sleeves as I drove home again
It would probably be about her making her peace with Echo-Caroline after the fall of the Dollhouse.
If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Willow R/Catherine W/Elle W That's another seriously crack pairing. I probably wouldn't write anything that needed warnings beyond, girl on girl on girl stuff, but if I did it would probably involve non-con, bondage, unusual toys (between the lawyer, the liquid metal terminator and the uber-witch, there are a lot of possibilities) and dangerous jargon.
What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
Buffy picking up Lorelei. I don't have a good line for this, but here goes, Buffy saves Lorelei from a several vampires, displaying slayer strength and agility while she is at it. When she checks on Lorelei, she offers to take her home and show her some domestic slayer skills.
When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Cameron, probably sometime last week, not sure which one.
What is Six's super-sekrit kink?
Catherine Weaver, umm. She's a liquid metal terminator, I have no idea what would qualify as a kink for one of them, maybe a gentle full body massage?
Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Rory shagging Paris, drunk, sober, it doesn't matter, I think those two are meant for each other and eventually they'd get together no matter what obstacles you put in their way.
If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Tara and Echo - Tara, because she'll never let anyone control her again, but I would expect her to be kind of shy about it.
"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? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Lets see this works out to:
Willow and Paris are in a happy relationship, until Paris suddenly runs off with Dawn. Willow, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Rory and a brief unhappy affair with Elle, then follows the wise advice of Cameron and finds true love with Tara.
This is pretty plausible for a randomly generated plot.
I would imagine that almost anybody on my f-list would read this one, and I would love to see what Mercurychkita would make of it, or maybe I should write it myself.
Oh, and for a title: The Joy of Wisdom
How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
Echo and Adelle, I'm not entirely convinced that its not, but I would be worried because Dollhouse is a Joss show and I've never entirely forgiven him for killing Tara.
