Eggs and spam.

This looks like a fun enough meme that I think I will break down and do it. The idea is that you give me a "5 times X happened" prompt, and I write five things for it. Like "5 times John Sheppard felt compelled to burst into song (or almost)" or "5 things no Vulcan will ever say to a Human (but really believes is true)."

5 times that Klaus really didn't want to kiss him, honest!

1. Okay, so, when he realized Dorian had "stolen" the fucking POPE, Klaus did not, in any way, shape, or form want to kiss him. On the other hand, when Dorian said he loved him in front of the police, Klaus puched him because it was either that or touch him in FAR more inappropriate ways.

2. Dorian is such a hopeless klutz with firearms that the discovery that he could handle blades made Klaus very, very happy.

3. Dorian pointing a gun in Mischa's face scared the crap out Klaus, because he was clearly wavering on whether he should or could bring himself to shoot, and Klaus was afraid Mischa was going to pick up on that and just take the gun away from him. It never occurred to him that Dorian's uncertainty was rooted in the belief that he was flat-out bluffing, that he thought the gun was empty and he was incapable of shooting. When Dorian confessed to that, Klaus had a sudden respect for Dorian's brass-balled bravery.

4. Klaus was extremely pissed off at whoever was impersonating him all over Europe, but the discovery that it was Dorian and not someone who, you know, actually wanted to bring down the free world, was a source of great relief.

5. Dorian in a dress hits a kink that Klaus does not like to admit his has. Even to himself.

5 times Methos almost gave in and punched MacLeod

1. When Mac drank the last beer in the fridge.

2. When Mac asked him to get another place to stay, PLEASE, because Amanda was going to be in town (good grief, it's not like she would have minded having him around).

3. If Methos could have found Mac after Richie died, when he fell of the face of the Earth for months on end, Methos probably would have punched him for falling off the face of the Earth, and damn the hypocrisy.

4. Every time Mac asks "Hey, did you ever meet Jesus Christ/King Arthur/Julius Caesar/Alexander the Great" like some mortal n00b, Methos is about *this* close.

5. Methos is prepared to punch Mac and run if Mac ever tries to get the white sweater back. Methos likes the white sweater.

5 smiles that Lenier remembers best

1. It wasn't a smile, per se, but the first time Delenn looked in the mirror after the transformation, and picked up the hair hanging over the edge of her crown, she just looked so awed.

2. When Ambassador Sinclair came back to the station again, just before he left for good, he had a peaceful kind of air to him--he was a man who knew his fate, and accepted it. Lennier admired him for that.

3. Vir Cotto loved working at consulate on Minbar, and was never shy about sharing his joy. Lennier usually thought the slightly pointy teeth Centauri had were sort of creepy, but when Vir smiled, it was in pure and contagious glee.

4. Susan Ivanova gave him a sad smile when she said good-bye to him, when she transferred off the station. Lennier didn't quite know how she was smiling at all, under the circumstances, but it wasn't a false smile, only a sad one.

5. Lennier doesn't remember this smile because it was happy or made him happy, he remembers this smile because it came like a punch in the gut. It was a smile Delenn gave Sheridan, and it wasn't the first or the most brilliant or associated with any significant event like their wedding--it was just the smile that made Lennier realize with deep and utter certainty that even if he and Delenn both lived forever, she would never love him as he loved her.

So here is the second comment!

5 ways to track an alien

1. The Doctor's always in the thick of things, wars and revolutions and things exploding, so really, Rose just watches the evening news.

2. The only really good way to track down Michael when he's in a snit is to ask Max or Isabel, and Maria always feels like she's somehow losing the game if she does that.

3. Delvians just have a certain smell that the animal species don't. It's not exactly a floral smell, more herbal, kind of sage-y, but John did think it was a perfume or scented soap or something, before he found out Zhaan was a plant.

4. Tracking Angels? Oh, that's not hard. They tend to be like, ten miles across. Just look up in the sky, you can't miss them. Unfortunately, they rarely miss you, either.

5. Every once in a while Jayne goes hunting (read: poaching) and brings back some well-fed livestock for Serenity's crew to eat after they get the hell out of dodge. Every once in a blue moon, he goes hunting for something a little more exotic, something he thinks'll get him a ton of money instead of a meal, and Mal has to whap him on the head and remind him that there's no such things as aliens.

5 times that Da'an acted silly

1. Apparently, Taelons react bizarrely to tear gas. Liam was crouched on the floor trying to breathe and not rub his eyes, and Da'an was telling him a joke he'd once heard from Lili, about a wire brush.

2. For a brief and terrible week, Da'an was entranced with the macarena. The macarena played at something like quarter speed, but if you let him gesture long enough, you inevitably realized what he was doing, and it was wrong.

3. Sharing with a human was apparently intoxicating to Taelons. Or maybe what made Da'an break into giggles was that that fifth time, when Boone was really digging deep to think about things that wouldn't give away his allegiance to the Resistance, he let a few Roadrunner plotlines run through his head.

4. After Lili showed up to the concert in the stunning dress that knocked even Sandoval off his feet, Da'an expressed an interest in leaning how clothes could vary the impression one intended to convey of oneself. Somehow this ended up with Lili taking Da'an to the mall to go shopping, something she hadn't done since she'd had to buy a prom dress at the last minute, and had sworn never to do again.

5. The Commonality means that unfortunately all Taelons know the cutesie-wutsie widdle names Da'an used to call Zo'or when he was a baby, and how Da'an used to rub the sparks of his own bare face against the blue-white skin of Zo'or's nose until it tickled so much that he blushed transparent.

GUT PUNCH!!!!! *cries* Damn, but I wish... damn. yeah.

Hehehehehehehe.

Yes, indeed! I can totally see that! Heh.

I would really really like to see a whole fic revolving around this concept. And it would be awesome if it were a crossover, too, and Jayne really DID find aliens... possibly the good Doctor? Heh.

2. For a brief and terrible week, Da'an was entranced with the macarena. The macarena played at something like quarter speed, but if you let him gesture long enough, you inevitably realized what he was doing, and it was wrong.

OMG, LOL!!! I literally spit laughing at this because! Space mimes! Doing the macarena! OMG!!! *dies*

Yep. And I knew that had to be the last one, too. *is evil*

Yes, indeed! I can totally see that! Heh.

Strange Things Jayne Brought Back For Us To Eat? *laughs* But I already wrote the fic where Jayne slaughters a cow in the infirmary!

Space mimes! Doing the macarena!

I know! Da'an's all, "The dances of your people are fascinating" and everyone else is all "OMFG please take up the waltz!"
