Prompts, please!

[nineveh_uk]

I know that I am supposed to (a) be working and (b) be writing the Nine Tailors DLS-didn't- write, but in the meantime, I am feeling bored and uninspired, and so naturally I turn to the internet to cheer me up.

Give me a prompt for a short fic. I will write whatever the first five people to respond ask me to write. I will refuse nothing*, although I may wriggle creatively if necessary. [I may go past 5, but only if I feel like it and the prompt in question is sufficiently intriguing/inspirational/funny/bizarre.]

*Except for anything in the Aubrey/Maturin world. It's just too difficult.

Includes:
Peter and Harriet in Paris
Lord Peter in the Tardis
Bunter meets the Doctor

That's brilliant

I keep thinking I want to write semi-serious Sayers-Who crossover fic with Peter and Five, but this is fantastic, and you've just made me snort with laughter in the library....

You do want to. You do. Although I think that Peter would also be appalled at the celery.

[tree_and_leaf]

The celery is rather appalling, isn't it? But my basic trouble at the moment is Lack of Plot (and also lack of time, but the former's a bigger issue!)

Also, I think Peter would regard having question marks on your collar is a sever lapse in taste, and while I can pardon the celery, I cannot disagree with his Lordship on the latter. Although I generally just pretend they weren't there.

Who needs plot?

Is a question mark on the collar when one is "Doctor Who" really any different from a regimental tie or an elderly cricket blazer? At least, if I were the Doctor that's what I'd argue.

[tree_and_leaf]

Well, it's certainly all ridiculous flummery when you get down to it, but IIRC the Doctor has never been refered to, by himself or by others, as 'Doctor Who'....

He was at least once, I think, in the very early days when it was still getting all sorted out.
