To everyone who purchased earrings from my
Etsy shop: they are on their way. Expect them in 2 - 3 business days. Unless you are in Australia, in which case, the woman at the post office said they should take about a week. I hope you like them.
So, I decided to do
hc_bingo. I'm reposting my bingo card so I can solicit ideas. *g*
(
Because I was running out of ways to torture my beloved characters. )

Enterprise, Trip, got knocked up by some chick doing this feels-nice ritual with hands in beads of some kind. :D The aliens, like, requested the fetus back? After it reached a certain size or something and could be removed. The rest of the crew gave him kind of a hard time about playing fun touching games with strange alien ladies.
This was long before he and T'Pol failed to be careful and made a half-Vulcan baby that didn't survive (thus leaving Spock as the first surviving one intact). His record with babymaking was kind of a mess.

Also, detached retina? Who comes up with these 'cliches', because we're obviously not reading the same fics... :D ♥♥

H/C is like ... I am all about it! (Helps when your OTP is a doctor.)

Mmmm, yesssss.
For McCoy + major illness, there's always xenopolycythemia from TOS. (Though I'd have to figure out why Spock Prime doesn't just share the cure with the universe well before McCoy falls ill. It seems a cruel thing to leave to chance.) Or, if he's injured, he can be talking someone else through administering first aid.
I love your second idea, about the telepathy. Though that square is unfortunately on the same line as a couple of things I don't want to do. Hmm. But I could make it my wild card. Or would that be cheating? I wish I could rearrange my squares!

IGS, I am not actually following you through our friends' journal entries just to agree with your comments. (Well, not intentionally.) But this idea hits me square in the id. Palpitatingly.

For the tentacles, since I like turning cliches on their heads, I was thinking the protagonist could be injured in some sort of aquatic accident, and rescued/comforted by a bunch of benevolent cepholopods. (No sex involved. Maybe.)

For domestic abuse (either one), I'd be very interested in seeing a Buffy take where you looked at a Slayer's potential to cause actual harm to a boyfriend/husband who is a human being instead of, yannow, a vampire or a souped-up super-soldier. Post finale, you can invent your own Slayer, you needn't give one of the known ones a dark side. This sort of fic could perhaps also focus on comforting the Slayer after she accidentally injures boyfriend/hubby--eg exploring to what degree a Slayer is responsible for the degree of force she exerts. If you were an ordinary teenager yesterday, didn't even know you were a Potential, and today you're a Slayer--how could you possibly know your own strength? Perhaps you could have Buffy--or even Faith--comforting a newborn Slayer who has seriously injured or even killed someone when she only meant to push him away/stop him touching her/play baseball ( ... )

The problem with Anya is that her window is so small. I mean, for turning a boy we know into a woman (temporarily). We meet her in the middle of S3, and she loses her powers in the same episode. She doesn't get them back until S6.
Ooh, but Amy could maybe do something. To Xander, possibly? Willow could fix him in the end. IDK. I'd have to tread carefully with that one. I have a close family member who's transgender, and her situation has kind of made me overly sensitive to the whole body dysphoria thing. Still ( ... )

I don't think it's necessarily wrong to play to comedy. I mean - it's the Buffyverse. And I think comedy can be handled tastefully. Forced!Permanent!genderswap gives me the heebie jeebies, but I think I could handle a short fic about one guy magically transformed into a woman for a couple of hours. He'd be disoriented and unhappy, but it's possible he'd learn something. Maybe there's a boy at school whom Dawn doesn't like ( ... )
