my brain is set to blender: part II
More bunnies from the entirely hyperactive EPIC FANFIC matrix of my brain (previous bunnies).
White Collar, cont'd.
4. So much ado was made about Peter's anniversary gift to El and very little about El's to him. Clearly she should be like, "Oh, honey, a Caribbean vacation, how sweet, isn't it a pity we can't take my present with us?" and Peter gets this look on his face of I want to be happy at this surprise? and asks, "Why, what did you get me?" and El leads him inside off the amazing rooftop and here's Neal. My brain came up with like, half a dozen absurd presentations (Neal on a silver platter, etc) but I think it's just Neal sitting on his bed, fully dressed, reading a book while waiting for them, but with a wide red ribbon around his throat, tied off in a very pretty bow, and, strangely, even when offered the opportunity to unwrap Neal, Peter thinks they should leave the ribbon on. This one is such total PWP that either someone else should write it or I should incorporate it into one of the other plotbunnies. Mind I'm already contemplating combining plotbunnies because crooked El is so part of my fanon now I suspect it would leak into anything I wrote.
Numb3rs/Atlantis
5. I've actually posted the first part of this like, a year and a half ago, but this is like, the bunny that won't die. Also that I never finished. I really deeply wish I could finish it without catching on Numb3rs or Atlantis or as seems increasingly necessary, WoW. But so yeah. Amita goes to Atlantis, and she broke up with Charlie to do it (I totally started writing this before they got engaged), and she didn't really explain to him what she was doing, and she's carrying around a lot of pissed off at how things went with Charlie, from "I ended up dating my thesis adviser, there's five kinds of inappropriate here" to "I was never his priority." And she's trying to do this thing on her own, Atlantis, this big scary thing.
She makes friends with Teyla and hi, I think I'm writing femslash, and manages to impress Rodney by not being incompetent and then even though she hadn't intended to join an offworld team Rodney puts her name in the hat because she helped saved the day once, and so John sits down to talk to her one day and did I mention Amita would really prefer not to come to the attention of the military commander of the mission? John's like, hey, I just wanna get to know you, half my team's interested in you, Teyla really likes you, Rodney says you're not totally incompetent which is high praise coming from him, etc. So John really informally interviews her without telling her it's an interview for an offworld team and when he does get around to mentioning it Amita's like, what? and John's like, and Zelenka says you can fly, you're totally in, and Amita's all, "I got told what all the buttons are supposed to do once," and John says, "Hey, that's more instruction than I got," but he takes her out for a spin, with Teyla, I think, and uh, the puddlejumper interfaces tend to be very responsive to pilot preference? So Amita's interface ends up looking a lot like gaming screen. For Sheppard the coolest part is she totally has a module with health bars for all the passengers. Also it turns out Atlantis has its own game server with a very silly not-WoW they've programmed with lots of Wraith and stuff, and Amita gets invited to join. Sheppard's handle is colonelbadass but Rodney consistently calls him Colonel Flatass.
But so Amita's going to get put on Lorne's team and Sheppard offers Lorne a couple of milk runs while they settle in with a new team member and Lorne's all, "The milk runs never turn out to be milk runs," and Sheppard says, "So you wanna stay on the regular rotation?" and Lorne goes, "No, no, we can take it." One of the milk runs ends up with Wraith on their asses and one of them is an actual milk run that turns out to be awesome, they find an Ancient observatory that has several thousand years of data stored up and one of its telescopes was pointed at Earth. Mind you Pegasus is about three million light-years from Earth so the data is on what Earth looked like three million years ago, but that is supercool in and of itself.
Amita's supposed to see Heightmeyer re her adjustment to being on an offworld team, and she talks to her some about Charlie, and the suggestion is made that perhaps Amita could get some closure if she sent Charlie a message. In a perfect world she would write him a paper letter but that ain't happening, and she's not doing this by email, she decides, so she ends up recording a video message for the next databurst, and she ends up running to Teyla asking to borrow a sweater or something that's not military so Charlie won't freak out. Amita ends up being really academically excited, though, puts together this (rather small) packet of information she can get cleared to send back to Charlie and Larry and she trades vast amounts of chocolate for permission to send back a single still of Earth from the Ancient observatory with no further data on what it is.
And I don't know what all happens after that. But the continuing adventures of Amita in Atlantis constantly live in my head, along with everything else.
More later! I'm late for work.
