I was doing this with
iphignia939 last night and it was fun and I'm already climbing the walls so why not?
Give me the names of two characters I might know, and I'll make up a summary or outline for a fic that pairs them. Male, female, RPS, FPS, whatever fandom, however weird. (Because I'm xoverAU, I reserve the right to make some of them AUs.) Go!

Joe's really not that cool. Onstage? Kinda cool, like people on stages are. Inside, not cool. By contrast, Patrick looks like Truman Capote with a dressing disorder and is really cool, and Joe studies him for months, looking for why.
He thinks it's his hands some days, the educated way they flex and settle, drawing boxes in the air. Sometimes he thinks it's the laughter at the back of his eyes, not always kind. Sometimes he thinks it's that Patrick doesn't care, and sometimes he thinks it's that Patrick doesn't care about him.
The irony of a straight man leading him, another straight man, on so miserably isn't lost on Joe. Unfortunately, he's still lost to it.
And Patrick teases and Joe yearns and nothing happens except you wonder if Patrick could possibly be doing it on purpose, looking at Joe from under the brim of his hat with his own hand on Anna's knee as both of them eat barbecue. And yes.
William/Andy
Andy's a sophomore in college who traveled to Japan for a couple weeks for hiking and mental R&R and never left. Learned martial arts and sword work, started his own school in the city. William comes there as part of TAI's first world tour and decides (in a bout of defiance against the security that's pulled tighter as they become more successful) to go for a walk in the so-called 'native' districts. Some kids try to mess with him and take his wallet; he's nervous and mouths off, so they push him, tossing him around.
Andy to the rescue! Complete with a sheathed katana resting on one shoulder and bared tattooed arms. It doesn't take a lot to get the kids in line, they know Andy, but he makes a good show of it anyway. William has an owie and some attitude, Andy patches him up in the little herb garden in the back, William asks about his past and if he can really use that sword. Cue innuendo, cue an invite back the next day, cue William sneaking out a lot for "lessons". Cue potential woe, kisses, and promises to return when the cherries blossom, the end.

I'll think about it. It always seems kind of. I don't know. Gratuitous to post three tiny paragraphs to a community. But hey!
