Memes! Stolen from all over:

#1
If you could have me write absolutely anything - genre, fandom, character, rating, whatever - if I'm familiar with it or not, what would it be?

#2
Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

1. More Black Books fic! (With or without the DW crossover factor.)

2. Giles.

I am absolutely convinced that there's an episode of Black Books where Bernard is passed out on the sofa with a stick of celery lying across him. Which would make it canon that he's had Five. At some point I will rewatch the whole of BB and find out if this is true or some bad delusion of mine.

Three facts from my personal Giles fanon:
(1) If there's an apocalypse imminent? It's Giles you want on your team, seriously. Slayer powers/magic/vampire abilities are all well and good, but Giles has got the knowledge to back it up, and the secret contingency plans to kill the 15-year-old Key if it means saving the world. Oh, and he'd been ready for Willow going evil for a while, not because magic=crack but because he's trained to be ready for these things; Faith was hardly the first Slayer to go off the rails.
(2) Is so good in bed that a woman would fly 3000 miles to shag him... no, wait, that's canon! All right, while he was in England in season 6 he was with Olivia from Hush, who accepted the monsters and magic just enough to let it work for a while; they heard a lot of amazing live music and parted as friends.
(3) When he met her, as she crossed through Cleveland on her way across America, he was one of the few people who wasn't surprised that the legendary Martha Jones was so young, although he was astonished to realise that she wasn't a Slayer; he listened to her story about the inhuman immortal she was in love with a certain deja vu and inevitability.

I was going to play after I read the comments but now I need you or somebody to write Giles/Martha.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Giles/Martha's been in my head since LotTL, with little justification beyond "that'd be astoundingly hot."

You don't need any justification beyond that.

You HAVE to write that one.

Please?

"I am absolutely convinced that there's an episode of Black Books where Bernard is passed out on the sofa with a stick of celery lying across him. Which would make it canon that he's had Five."

Um...yum? I didn't just say that. I'm very envious of anyone who can write good Black Books fic because I would love to, but it's too English for my Yank ear to capture correctly.

"If there's an apocalypse imminent? It's Giles you want on your team, seriously."

That's merely fanon? I beg to differ.

"When he met her...he was one of the few people who wasn't surprised that the legendary Martha Jones was so young, although he was astonished to realise that she wasn't a Slayer; he listened to her story about the inhuman immortal she was in love with a certain deja vu and inevitability."

I would absolutely love to read this someday, not that that's hinting or anything. Much.
