Prompts, please!

I have an ominous "coming down with a cold" feeling (please, please no; I've actually managed to be healthy so far this term), and the current WIP* is sulking in a corner, and I think I need something to stir my brain. So...

Tell me what you want a drabble on, and I shall endeavour to provide. You know the usual fandoms, though I am willing to have a go at something else if that's what you fancy**.

*The current WIP I am trying to write, I mean, as distinct from the many other WIPs waiting more-or-less patiently in a queue.

**NB This offer does not include the Aubrey/Maturin books. That is definitely Never Going To Happen, although I would like to read the Star Trek crossover in which Captain Kirk meets Diana Villiers, if anyone fancies writing it.

[ETA: That is a quite marvellous selection of prompts! Thank you (late-comers are still welcome). We kick off with Zombie Honeymoon.

Now added: Re-enacting Doctor Who, Alleyn and Troy's first date, Crookshanks/Ahasuerus, Harriet's advice to Josephine M. Bettany, Peter, Harriet, Troy and Alleyn, Peter and Lucius Malfoy, Andromeda and Tonks, Peter, Jack Maynard, and hot milk, Captain Kirk meets the Dowager Duchess of Denver, Bunter and young Saint-George, Peter, Harriet, and their brood visit Duke's Denver, and Kenton chatting up Harriet.]

Kenton chatting up Harriet.

‘Call me Kenton,’ he had said, pushing a drink into Harriet’s hand and himself into a corner of the battered sofa. ‘Yeah, I mean I don’t like to be tied down, and my brother and the rest of the family, they just don’t get that. They’re so square, always on about the farm. They don’t know what it’s like to live. Now me, I want to see the world, relax, just enjoy life, you know?’

Harriet, behind her glass, mouthed ‘Get me out of here’ to Eilunedd across the room, and wondered how she had managed to meet a man even more self-absorbed that Phillip Boyes.

So very Kenton...(although he is much improved these days).
