The first 15 people to comment on this post, with a fandom, character or pairing and prompt of some sort get to request a drabble from you. If they feel like it, and only if they feel like it, requesters can post this in their journal and write a drabble for you.
And I swear to you people, I will actually write these drabbles straight off. No pushing it back, no waiting months for them. (And by drabble I mean tiny little ficlet. I can't be bothered with word counts.)
The fandoms I'll write in:
1. Firefly
2. Buffy/Angel
3. Profit
4. A Knight's Tale
5. Queer As Folk (UK)
6. Doctor Who (2005 and 2006)
7. Shakespeare In Love
8. Alias
9. Lost
10. The Lord of the Rings
11. The Pirates of the Caribbean
12. Harry Potter
13. Highlander
14. Casanova (the RTD series)
15. Rent
And, like
houses_on_fire said, "any [reasonable] crossovers of the above list."

But I want Will/Kit instead. Or, if you're feeling cracktastic, Chaucer/Kit. NO ANGST.

Date: 2006-05-13 05:01 pm (UTC)The way Geoff smiles illuminates his face, even though his head is lowered, and he glances at Kit before returning his gaze to the knot in the wood his nail is scratching at. "He's..." He bites his lip, a gleaming set of teeth on the pink flesh, and tries again. "He's impossible. More stubborn than the worst mule I've ever met. Convinced that most of the world is out to get him. Obsessed with food and ale. He won't let me teach him to read, and he won't ever say anything."
Kit tilts his head to the side, a small smile playing on his lips. "Tell me about him, truly."
Geoff chuckles, because he knows exactly what his fellow writer means. "Instead of saying things, he'll show them. It's in his eyes, his smiles, the way he clenches his jaw and scowls at the ones he loves. He loves fiercely, protectively, and I pity the poor soul that would hurt his family and friends. He's got so much fire in him that it's coloured his hair bright red, and nothing will ever extinguish his flame. There's a riot of blue in his eyes when he's happy, or hurt, or his anger's been roused, the iciest winter instead when disappointment comes over him."
Kit turns back to his tankard of ale, takes a sip, looks at Geoff with melancholy eyes. "Listening to you fills me with sorrow, Master Chaucer."
Geoff raises his eyebrows, hand going instinctively to his chest as if to ask, 'To me?'
Kit nods, eyebrows knitting with vexation. "The way you talk of him... I never stood a chance, did I?"
Laughter bubbles up in Geoff's eyes, trickles past his lips, a sound of pure mirth which the writer reins in immediately. "I'm sorry, Kit. I suppose not."
But his laughter has drawn the smile out of Kit that he was trying to hold back, and the game is ruined. "Ay, and all the better for it."
Geoff leans forward, his interest sparked. "Have you met someone new, then? Who, pray tell."
"You'll adore him," Kit asserts, casually because he is, in fact, quite sure of himself. "He has a way with words... almost as good as me, I dare say."
"Ay indeed, this sounds rather impressive. And what is the lucky man's name?"
Kit smiles. "Not a lucky man, but Fortune's fool if you listen to him. He has notions of persecution."
Geoff winces. "I thought him a writer, now you make him sound an actor?"
"No, I've had my fill of those. In more ways than one. He is a writer. Will."
"Will," Geoff repeats, testing the name on his tongue. He frowns, and. "William Shakespeare? I've seen one of his. Richard Crookback... it was interesting. You've done much better."
"And will do again," Kit nonchalantly replies, and then leans toward Geoff, lowering his voice. "His best works tumble off his lips in bed, Geoff. You should hear him then. Come with me, I shall introduce you, before you hurry back home to the quaint little village where your Wat awaits."
Geoff finishes his own ale, and smiles. "Ay. Let us meet your new pet."

Date: 2006-05-13 05:11 pm (UTC)The thing is, see, is that you can't write Wat without Geoff, which of course means you can't write Geoff without Wat, and no I absolutely will not keep a tighter leash on him if it means brilliant cuteness like this.
And of course the way he describes Wat. ...and god, I love your Kit. I want more Kit. I always, always want more Kit. And the absolute surity he has that he's a better writer than Will. Because, psh, of course he is. Heeee. (though now i'm thinking how odd will/will would be, within this crossover. weird.) Thank you so much for indulging me. *smooch*

Yeah, I almost made Geoff actually remark that one of Wat's best friends was a Will, just for the sheer geekiness of, well, me, but precisely, Geoff'd have had no reason to do that and anyway. The point is that, yes, that would just be. Very, very, very odd. And, anyway, I can't slash Will, personally, so. I mean, the Thatcher one. Obviously. So, yeah.
And I adore Kit, so it's not like it was a toil. He's absolutely delightful, and such a strange mix of self-confidence to the point of arrogance, and love. He's wonderful. You should write him and Will one of these days.
