Sketches in search of a canvas.

I'd love to see a fic where Lorne visits or mentions having gone to a natural history museum, which I imagine would be a particularly fascinating experience for him. For an immigrant, as he'd describe himself. A zoo would also be pretty great.

Also, something where during the Potentials arc in season seven of Buffy, the Scooby Gang takes over Rack's hidden traveling house from season six as a Potentials dormitory. As far as I can tell, it was abandoned when he died and then forgotten by the writers, which is disappointing since they usually get a lot of good mileage out of the stuff they have in their toy box. Though it's unlikely anyone but Giles would get the deep cut that would be the joke of "Buffy's moving castle."

I've also looked, and there's exactly one fic of Dawn dating the horned demon boy she was chatting with during "Hell's Bells" - a real moment of truthfulness to the universal experience of being at a big event and bonding with the one other person the same age age and escaping outside with them for a little peace, quiet, and mutual understanding. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy this exists. I'd just like a couple more.

Similarly, I'd like some more Cordelia/Phantom Dennis fics, particularly ones with consensual possession. It'd be a way for Dennis to get out of the apartment for a while, and for Cordelia - or at least her body - to get in some heavy exercise, for the joy of having a body to move around in. Maybe throw in some bits about Los Angeles' staircases, too, and how LA has changed as a city since Dennis lived in it. And some mutually enjoyed orgasms, to be sure.

What I also would love is a Wesley/Gunn fic where they skipped dating to go right into living together - or, as Wesley would describe it, "forgoing the courtship phase to move directly into monogamous cohabitation." (Gunn: "We U-Hauled it.") Because they both know how short life is, and how important it is to focus and work hard on what really matters, and not to waste any time.

(It'd be at least a month before Angel would notice anything. "I just thought you'd just switched to the same brand of soap or something." "Well, yes...")
