Trope Bingo: Begs & wagers
This is on the A03 - posting here for completeness.
This completes a Trope Bingo line! YaY!
( “What’s stopping you making a move?” asked Hercules, milder now, and in a spirit of genuine concern. “The worst that can happen is that he says ‘no’. And then you both know where you are and you can move on.” )

Hee! Look at poor unlucky-in-love Pythagoras - has to concentrate on the numbers, poor baby. But, but, but I do see it's your birthday coming up. Would you like a happy Atlantis thingee? Or some other pairing/fandom of your choice? Just throw in a prompt.
(Thanks for the comm heads up. LJ is letting me comment but has been a fiend for trying to post actual entries atm.)

I'd love an Atlantis fic, please (with a happy ending this time, lol!).
Jason/Pythagoras. Prompt - How about shirtless Pythagoras? We get shirtless Jason practically every episode, I think it's time Pythagoras took some clothes off! Doesn't have to be smut, could be for something domestic like laundry day, or some hurt/comfort type reason, whatever :-)
Does that sound okay?

'practically every episode'
Well, it's true that we haven't yet seen every ep but he's scoring one for one atm! I'm sure I can get Pythagoras as least a bit naked...

LOL at your Jason icon! A rare shot with his shirt on!! They are a fun trio to write. Poor Pythagoras. I'm sure Jason will catch a clue eventually.

(I've been having mad cravings for Atlantis fic, and dammit no one is writing any! So I'm pootling through the archive on AO3 and re-reading stuff).

LOL at Little Miss Maim and Kill. Any excuse to cuddle Pythagoras - you really should thank me!!
But, yeah, totally know that feeling of really wanting something (new) to read and there being nothing out there. And it's definitely wanting to fall into a story rather than write it yourself. Fwiw, I do intend to write Atlantis again. The characters are just too pretty interesting to ignore. Oddly enough, I was milling around the Ashmolean in Oxford yesterday when the perfect title for an Atlantic fic just popped into my head. Will dig out the Trope Bingo Card again.

Definitely! And having met Robert at the Wales Comic Con last weekend, I can confirm he is indeed cuddly (if distressingly skinny! Really, he needs more pies in his diet, being *that thin* can't be healthy!). :-)
Ooh, yey for more Atlantis fic from you. Despite the obvious pretty of Jason/Py, I've spent the last few days having a massive craving for Hercules/Pythagoras fic. Unfortunately, there only appears to be three H/P fics in the entire fandom. I think the fic writers on AO3 are just all about the pretty, and not that interested in anything that isn't J/P fluff or smut. :-(
So, of course, the inevitable has happened, and I've started writing H/P myself.
I think in many ways we're spoiled in Primeval fandom, because there are so many varieties of pairings and characters that get written about by so many people. It makes it even more noticeable when you then get involved in fandoms that are completely dominated by one pairing, practically to the exclusion of any other possibilities. :-(

*g* He didn't look that thin in pics but I gather that you and Fifi would be in a position to know more! Pies it is. They all looked lovely scrubbed up and very comfortable together. I'm so pleased they didn't go the wig route for Pythagoras.
Fandom does like its pretty. It's probably the one downside to the A03 that if you're not writing the 'popular' pairing then you won't get read/kudos and that discourages writers from branching out. :(
To be honest it's difficult to know what to do with Jason besides fluff and smut - the writers have stubbornly ignored all the really interesting backstory he comes with. Herc and Pythagoras have much more depth.
