7, 11, and 14. :)

14. I have actually written wing!fic! \o/ It is here: Unfurled. It was a trope that seemed a little odd when I first came across it, but as soon as I started to read my first wingfic (on a white collar kink meme, I believe!) I realised why people like it. It's got so much potential for beauty and power and now I will happily read and write wing!fics :)

7. I've never written pretend-marriage fic, and I don't think I've read much (any?) either, though I surely must have run into it somewhere! I really like the idea, both for its potential for comedy and its possibilities for helping people who are in love to figure that out :D

11. I've read a few of these and I LOVE them, for the same reasons as no.7! Never written one though.

...so I gotta try and write a drabble or two for 7&11! Do you have any requests for characters - I'm not sure who you ship? I can try Buffy or Lost Girl etc? :)

12 and 24?

12. I have written Mind Control! :D (Or as I long-windedly called it in the warning of the fic, "use of supernatural powers to influence others’ will" :D) It is a theme in Lost Boy

24. Okay so I know what telepathy is, and after googling it I have a better understanding of what soulbonding is, but the two of them combined surely has a whole load of different possibilities within it! I'm pretty sure I've read (and enjoyed) a fic or two along these lines, but never written one. However, trying to think about the trope to answer this has somehow got me writing a whole fic on it haha :D So here is a snippet for you:

He replayed the scene in his head. He saw himself, trying to reason with the armed criminal in front of him, trying to hold him off until Peter and the rest of the team got there. And then he heard again in his mind, the voice he’d heard at the scene: Neal! Behind you!

Peter’s voice, warning him about the man’s accomplice, who was approaching in Neal’s blind spot. Just in time for Neal to turn and defend himself, giving him a few more precious seconds before the backup arrived.

Peter’s warning wouldn’t have been anything unusual, except for the fact that Neal hadn’t heard Peter’s voice out loud. Peter was too far away for a shout to have been audible.

He’d heard the voice inside his head.

Oh thanks for that snippet... can't wait to read more.

Yay, you're playing too! :D

How's about 3, 13 and 27?

Delayed meme reply is delayed o.O

3. Drunkfic! I do like this, both for the lols and also for the in vino veritas aspect. I've not written it previously, but am now working on a little something for you :D

13. Handcuffs! ♥ Yes. I like the cuffs. I am all for cuffs :D :D Either in sexytimes or in arrest-attempts that are not supposed to be sexy but turn out to be because of Peter and Neal reasons ♥ I've not really written handcuff fic before, which kinda surprises me, but again...I'm working on something now :D

27. Historic AU... Hmm, not really a fan! I could say that I've never written it because it would need too much research for my liking :D But then I don't really tend to read it either, unless it's heavy on my kinks of choice! I guess I've never been big into period dramas on TV (though I do watch the occasional one), and it just doesn't hugely appeal to me to see fandom characters in historical settings using historical style dialogue etc - maybe it makes them too far removed from the characters I'm familiar with? But then I have no problem with fantasy, so...who knows! *is wildly inarticulate*

[elrhiarhodan]

HURRAH! You're playing, too!

How about 15,16, and 17!
