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?

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.

(e) five people that Fitz never fell in love with and why.

Age 17 1953: The Queen's coronation was on telly and Fitz was definitely not gay - definitely - even though he took that guy from the bar where he was working back to his bedsit (and spent the next ten years carefully repressing the incident). John [no last name] talked all the time. Seemed sad, in a very bouncy sort of way. Nice suit, although the trainers were a bit odd.

Age 27 Loads of girls from the local school used to sneak into the club in Soho where Fitz played his guitar. Susan stood out because she was always by herself, and because she danced like she was in another world. Fitz thought she might have been on drugs. He gave her one of his cigarettes out the back of the club one night and would have kissed her only she mentioned her age and he backed off very, very fast.

Age 29 'Dark' Sam never really existed, and he tried hard not to resent the real Sam for not being that fucked up.

Age 32 There were two possible ways it could go with Anji: either she'd just be horrified at the idea and they'd find out if an infinite spaceship was big enough to indefinitely avoid each other, or she'd go for it - in which case she'd be good for him. She'd force him to grow up. Both prospects were too scary to risk.

Age somewhere-in-the-late-30s-possibly Despite being the only other human on Gallifrey during the war - and therefore the only person (bar maybe Romana) who didn't regard him as some sort of alien pet of the Doctor's - he never hit it off with Leela. Too scary, and in a much more knife-through-the-ribs way than Anji.

Trix is not on this list, because he did fall in love with her and it almost worked out until she left the TARDIS and he didn't, which is the kind of thing that can put a strain on a relationship.

And the Doctor's not on there, although after ten or fifteen years puzzling it out Fitz was still unsure exactly what their relationship was when the Time War - and Gallifrey, and the Doctor's eighth life - came to an abrupt end.

I'm torn between thinking the 1953 incident is incredibly sweet, and thinking it was very, very unfair of John-no-last-name. *hugs Fitz*
