You Know I'm Feeling Better When I'm Rambling About Crossovers.

[rionaleonhart]

Questions I Can't Believe I Have Genuinely Considered:

- If Pyramid Head had an accident that sent him back in time to when Silent Hill was an active town, who would his DCI be? (Let's set aside the question of how he could possibly have a severe accident if he's more or less invincible.) I'd quite like to see him under the command of Gene Hunt or Greg House. Or, er, Geri Halliwell, just to continue the 'GH' theme. Please do not actually write fanfiction about Pyramid Head working with the Spice Girls.
- If Sherlock Holmes and Watson visited Silent Hill, what would Holmes deduce about the nature of the town? Would he be able to solve the mystery of the disappearance of James and Mary Sunderland? (A while ago, thebaconfat wrote a beautifully mind-destroying fanfic about Holmes and Watson in Silent Hill. If you haven't already read it, I'd highly recommend it.)
- Why hasn't anyone written about Sherlock Holmes being sent forward to 1973 and meeting Sam Tyler yet?
- Are zombies permanently erect as a result of rigor mortis? (I tried to use this to break the ice on the day of the Canadian Invasion and can now pass down my hard-earned wisdom to you: zombie sex is never a good icebreaker.)
- The Top Gear team meet the protagonists of Withnail and I. Should fluffy-haired commiserating-about-insane-friends James/'I' slash ensue?
- During Oz and James' Big Gay Wine Adventure, James says something along the lines of, "That is the mystical cosmic energy in my penis. Oh, and it's gone off again; it usually does." Oz responds, "Yes, that was about four or five seconds; that's about right for you." HOW DOES HE KNOW? (A related question I genuinely can't believe I've considered is 'Why don't more people write Oz/James?' I mean, I know it's not a terribly attractive pairing, but it's so blatant.)
- "My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident and I woke up in the eighteenth century." The very confused and out-of-place Tyler finds himself on a pirate ship with Captains Clarkson, Hammond and May, quite possibly the worst pirates the world has ever seen, shortly before they run into and probably eventually reluctantly team up with Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew. Would it be too much to have the Doctor turn up with the intention of sorting out the horrible tangled time-mess and recognise Sam as the Master?
- How is it possible for a programme that has a cyborg punching a pterodactyl to be so rubbish?

(Questions I almost included in the list but didn't because I can definitely believe I've considered them include 'What are Captain Jack Harkness' moral boundaries when it comes to shagging? I'm sure he wouldn't do anything nonconsensual. In my mental canon, he thinks of monogamy as a highly outdated concept, but he's aware that a lot of importance was placed on it in the past; would he have sex with a twentieth-century married human if the husband/wife were unaware?' and 'What the hell is the plot of Dark Chronicle, anyway?')

In entirely unrelated news: if you haven't read mistful's post-Deathly Hallows fic (I think a second half is forthcoming at some point), do! It has managed to make me not hate the epilogue any more, which makes me very happy indeed. Spoilers, obviously.

LOL!

Bernard would be so drunk he probably wouldn't notice anything amiss.

"Manny, where have you been? And where's the corkscrew? This wine needs opening!" Bernard waved the disgustingly empty glass at his assistant.

Panting, Manny leant on the door. Blood was running freely from a cut on his head, matting his long hair together. "There are monster things out there! The whole town's full of them. They're worse than was Fran when you melted her chocolate Easter bunny. They were spitting glass and trying to kill me with shovels!"

"What? This is terrible!"

Pale faced, Manny nodded.

"We're completely fucked." Bernard bit his lower lip and looked around the empty bookshop. The shelves were bare and the bottom was missing from the chair behind the desk. "How are we going to open the wine now?"

(Am I the only one who hates the uneditibilty of LJ comments!?)

[rionaleonhart]

...I have no idea who these people are, but they clearly need to meet Withnail.

(And everyone hates the uneditability of LJ comments.)

Oh. Oh.

Bernard and Withnail. I'm *terrified* already.

Of course Marwood would bond with Manny for a while. Up to the point where he realises that Manny is just as bonkers, just slightly less... dangerous than Bernard.

You never watched Black Books? If you've got broadband, then hie thee to tv-links.co.uk which has got links to places that the shows episodes are hosted. Seriously, it's a lovely little sitcom and the Bernard/Manny's homoerotic subtext is well, surtext, really.

MADE OF WIN! :D *hands you the internets wrapped up in a shiny bow*

(re. your comment about there needing to be more BB slash, there *really* does. Few slash pairings work so happily with canon as Bernard/Manny.)

Thank you. *pimps own journal and the BB slash on it*

And few slash fandoms get slashed so much by the actors themselves: there's some glorious discussion in the DVD commentary, and in an interview Tamsin Grieg did say 'I tell you what is such a breath of fresh air - there's no hint of sex! And if there is it's between Bernard and Manny.

*is already sidling over to lurk and GOODOMESFICTHEREISGOODOMENSFICMAYEXPLODEFROMSQUEE* :D!!

Daaammit, I bought the DVDs to watch the outtakes and commentaries for my dad's birthday present but he keeps taking them away to work with him and I can't filch them to watch the extras. *yearns for the wonderfulness* The more I learn about BB, the more I love it.
