Heh. Seen at penknife. I cannot resist!

Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return(and if inspired), I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

Now I'm looking forward to see what crazy stuff you'll come up with. Have no shame, guys! But be aware that if you name a fic in, say, Bandslash or Desperate Housewives fandom, then there'll indeed be very little chance that I'll ever write it! ;)

*dusts off hands*

1. Chloe attempts to shape Lex's eyebrows -- with disasterous effect.

2. Charles Xavier and Magneto play chess and shoot heroin together.

3. Lavender Brown/Firenze noncon

Hi :D

(I suspect it will have to be Nr 3. At least that's mythologically correct!)

[bagheera-san.livejournal.com]

Parvati and Padma didn't want to come with her. At first Lavender was glad - she had never before had the chance to talk with him alone - but now as she approaches Firenze, she wishes she had her giggling friends at her back. He isn't Ron. With Ron she always felt like the grown-up one.

Now her heart beats so fast it makes her want to break into a run, and she feels awkward. The grass is soft under her bare feet, light green spring grass, tinged golden by the setting sun.

Firenze stands down by the lake, his bowed shoulders the same colour as his palomino fur, his pale hair and tail swinging softly in the evening breeze. Lavender clutches her sandals tighter.

She used to read books about horses as a little girl, because she wanted a pony but wasn't allowed to have one. You aren't supposed to approach horses from behind, so she makes a beeline. Now she can see his bare chest, his hands folded loosely in front of his abdomen, where the line of fur begins. He looks sad to her.

"Are.. are you waiting for someone?" Great, Lav, she thinks. Really smooth.

He turns his head and looks down at her. It's not at all like it is with Ron. Not at all like it is in divination lessons, with Parvati always beside her.

He raises his right hand, a loose gesture that encompasses all of the dark wood to their right, the shadowy trees, where night seems to seep out of the undergrowth. "This is as far as I may go, Miss Brown," he says.

She's heard that he can't go back, because he has chosen to work for Dumbledore. It's like the Forest is Slytherin and the school is Gryffindor, or something like that.

"It's so sad that people can't just get along."

Firenze looks out on the lake for a long time, making her want to leave as silently as she can. "Sad," he repeats, as if she has said something very odd.

In for a sickle, in for a galleon, Lavender tells herself. "I mean, I don't know about your people, but does it really matter whether you're half-blood or pure-blood or not human at all? You're... you're a wonderful teacher, Professor, and it's not like you're a werewolf or a giant. Humans and centaurs never did anything to each other."

Firenze gives her another long, unreadable glance. Lavender hopes she has said this well. She really wants to show him that she's not just one of those girls who think that he's cute. She has thought about this a lot.

"Divination is your favourite subject, isn't it, Miss Brown?" he asks gently. She nods. He nods, too.

"Do you know why most humans are not very good at it?"

"Professor Trelawney says you have to have a gift for it."

"Your lives are too short, Miss Brown. You barely have time to learn the path of the stars and the ways of the world. You see the seasons of time go by but once. Do you know which subject is closest to Divination?"

"Astronomy?" she tries.

He tilts his head, doesn't quite shake it. "History."

Lavender frowns and hopes he won't ask her questions about History of Magic. She dropped that class as soon as she could. History is for people without imagination, like Hermione, who just love to learn all those boring facts out of dusty books.

The sun has set and the sky is paling. Lavender tries to find something to say about the stars other than that they're beautiful. She doesn't want to seem stupid.

"Before we teach our foals to read the skies, we tell them our stories. Often the future is clearer when you are aware of the past," Firenze says softly. He gives the dark forest a long look. It seems closer now and taller. "Will you walk with me for a while, Miss Brown? I will tell you a story about centaurs and humans."

Lavender knows she should be back at the Great Hall. The others are having dinner already. When she sneaks into the common room later, Parvati will tease her with silly questions about girl centaurs and the like.

"I'd like to," she says with a smile, and suddenly doesn't feel so much like a little girl anymore. To her surprise, he holds out a hand. She wants to pick it up and read it in the faint moonlight, trace the lines with her fingers, but she doesn't dare.

His grip is firmer than she expected, not at all like Ron's nervous, loose-fingered touch.

Um, yeah. This is rather creepy and embarrassingly serious. *hides*

1. Lex gets Clark pregnant - again.

2. Batman orders Clark to marry Lex to "keep him out of trouble."

3. Connor Kent turns evil and it is up to Lex to stop him.

2. Batman orders Clark to marry Lex to "keep him out of trouble."

!!! ...I've been thinking about a fic with pretty much that very premise ^^;;;

fic you won't write, because you're not, y'know, insane: Q/source!Lex (with Lex still secretly pining for Clark, such that Q might be inspired to get them together just to get him to shut up)

Q/source!Lex (with Lex still secretly pining for Clark, such that Q might be inspired to get them together just to get him to shut up)

*dies* I think I've been looking for an excuse to write this...

And write that marriage fic!

2. Batman orders Clark to marry Lex to "keep him out of trouble."

[ender24]

OMG, yes please :D

[bagheera-san.livejournal.com]

What? #1 and #3 are perfectly good fic ideas :D Well, okay, it's unlikely that I'll write 1.... but I could see 3.

But by common demand I shall attempt #2.

[hoperoy.livejournal.com]

I can't really think of any crazy ideas right now. However, I very much second these:

1. Lex gets Clark pregnant - again.

2. Batman orders Clark to marry Lex to "keep him out of trouble."

[teot.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, Batman orders Clark to marry Lex to "keep him out of trouble."! *nods*
