Oh, what the heck!

I guess we'll find out if brevity really is the soul of wit...

1) Give me a fandom (Sanctuary is probably your best bet, but I'm willing to throw it completely open) plus character/pairing, and FIVE one-word prompts
2) I'll see if I can write you five one-sentence ficlets based on them

At least I managed to hold off almost fifteen minutes.

Best first post friending comment ever, y/y? ;)

1. For reasons James is not entirely comfortable speculating about, the creature never escapes when Tesla is visiting.

2. There was someone here, it can feel it, someone who was here before James, someone who kept this house and all the creatures in it, and the first time it sees her, it knows her on sight.

3. In space, no one can hear you eating their shoes.

4. "Do you think it mates?" Ashley said, one finger absently tapping on the glass as the creature undulated in time with the rhythm and Declan suppressed a shudder.

5. James sits in the arm chair with a tub of shoe polish in one hand and his newly scuffed shoe in the other, and tries to think on the bright side: if he had a kitten, it would have claws.

They're all so brilliant! I sort of want ursulav to do the illustrated version of the yellow slime mold's adventures, but I'm not even sure she watches Sanctuary in the first place.

Thanks, they were fun (even though I feel #3 is a complete cop-out...). :)

I keep hoping that if I drop enough hints, someone with artistic ability will draw me the scene in "Catch Cat" where Nikola faces off with the faery cat, but so far no dice.

Oh, I don't know. Imagine a scifi book/movie with our hero out in space on an alien planet, suspenseful music in the background, neither reader nor hero have any idea what wait out there, and then suddenly, a slight burning sensation on his foot...

Did I ever comment to say that these are awesome? In any event, these are awesome. :-)
