Res ipsa loquitur

destina - Top five pairs of characters, cross-fandoms as needed, that need to sit down and have a conversation and share life experiences so that at least one of them can benefit from it.

This was so much fun.

5. Benton Fraser would really benefit from a few long conversations with Guinan in Ten Forward. Possibly he'd need Worf to spar with him for a bit to weaken him enough that he'd say anything that needed saying.

4. Actually I'd also like to see Fraser work with Sam Vimes for a bit. Fraser's stubborn, principled, and out of step with the values of the world around him, but he can distract you from it with a frictionless surface made of pleasantness and pedantry; Vimes is stubborn, principled, and out of step with the values of the world around you, and he'd spit in the eyes of the gods if they weren't too cowardly to take physical form and fight him. It would be fun to watch. (Also it would take Vimes a minute to figure out that he wasn't dealing with someone like Carrot -- that there was sarcasm under all that courtesy.)

3. Can you imagine Rodney McKay let loose with Q from Skyfall? Yeah, we made something blow up somewhere in the galaxy but it will probably be awhile before humanity discovers whatever it was, so we're fine.

2. I wish that instead of falling in with the Mayor, Faith Lehane had apprenticed with Granny Weatherwax.

1. Batman needs to sit John Winchester down and teach him a thing or two about being a father. Maybe he could have a talk with Bob Fraser, too.


Leave me a comment to add a prompt to the calendar. The current list is below the cut.

I've posted a new Skyfall story on AO3.

Equanimity
NC-17 -- 3900 words -- Bond/Q
"As I never know when someone might try to push my buttons, I find it useful to know where they are."

There's a mindfuck element in the premise that may squick some readers. If nothing in the first ten paragraphs disturbs you, you should be golden on the rest. Comment if you want a guide for the persquicked.

I used to feel like something was published when I put it on my site, and AO3 was a backup. I notice that now it seems just the opposite.
