13 (Richard Castle) and 7 (Sherlock Holmes) meet when one accidentally trips the other
Missed Opportunity
Castle trips over this tall, skinny guy on the first day of his first ever trip to London, too busy trying to write down all the ideas that are blooming in his mind whilst trying to walk at the same time. He apologises, but the guy just turns his nose up and carries on walking, his long coat billowing behind him. Castle thinks about using him as a character in a novel years later, but decides against it. (It all works out: Sherlock gets a blogger and Castle gets Beckett.)
velvetmouse asked:
12 Natasha Romanoff) and 15 (Alice): BFFs or enemies?
BFFS, definitely
See, SHIELD is wary of anything that so much as smells like it comes from another world since Thor fell out of the sky and Alice, overheard talking about ‘Wonderland’ with a guy called Dave who didn’t even exist a week ago…that raises flags. Natasha is sent to check it out and make contact. Her and Alice end up bonding over martial arts. (Also, Alice knows what it’s like to have your brain played with and Natasha knows what it’s like to live without a parent, hell, both.) Eventually Natasha gets Alice a job training a basic course in martial arts for SHIELD (where Alice meets Darcy and Darcy drags them both out on a girls’ night, which evolves into half the women at SHIELD having a regular girls’ night and once one of the guys when he gets turned into a girl, but he’s sworn to secrecy as to what they get up to).
Natasha doesn’t like Dave though. Alice says he was called Hatter in the other place because he’s always there when people ‘pass the hat’ and Natasha hates debts being treated like casual currency.
3 (Hermione Granger) and 8 (Mycroft Holmes) are trapped in a Canadian shack. Does huddling for warmth ensue? Or is it double murder before they can be rescued?
’Minor Positions’ In Government
Huddling together for warmth is logical, so Hermione and Mycroft are fine with it. What Hermione is not fine with is freezing to death because she can’t use magic to help with a Muggle around. She’s desperate, so she decides just to use it and Obliviate the Muggle, but before she can wipe his mind he says, “Oh, you’re a witch. Intresting.” She fishes to find out how he knows about the Wizarding World and he says he knows because of his minor position in the Muggle government. Hermione searches her mental list of who in the Muggle government knows about them and calls Mycroft out, because with the use of her list she knows what his position is and she knows that list because she works for the Ministry. “In a ‘minor position’, you might say,” she tells him and he smirks appreciatively. Long after the conjured flames and warming charms have rendered huddling together necessary they are still just as close, heads bent towards each other, doing a mental dance of trying to figure out each others secrets, and eventually realising that they’re in a shack in the middle of Canada for the same reason. (And that reason now doesn’t stand a chance in hell.)
It's game night! 4 (Luna Lovegood), 7 (Sherlock Holmes) and 11 (Clint Barton) vs. 1 (Eleven), 5 (Hoban Washburne) and 14 (Ianto Jones)! What games do they play? Who wins? Who's super competitive and who just doesn't care?
Okay, so this is possibly not what you were asking, but...
The Game Is On
There’s only one Game for Sherlock Holmes and that’s solving crimes, so when he spots a weird pattern of criminal occurrences he’s all over it. Only, he keeps bumping into this blond haired, spaced out women and a guy with an actual bow who is as far from spaced out as it’s possible to get. He figures that they’re working on the same thing he is, which on the one hand proves that he’s not imagining it, but on the other really annoys him, because Sherlock is extremely competitive and determined to be the one that solves this first.
Luna has been asked to look into the crimes by the World Security Council, because there seems to be a paranormal or magical element, and Clint has been assigned as her security detail and as an extra pair of eyes, since the Council has concerns that Luna doesn’t always see things clearly. The pair of them are greatly amused by Sherlock and have fun showing up at a café, where an industrial blender has been stolen, five minutes before him and buying him a cup of tea for when he gets there. He helps them out, although he doesn’t know it, and they make sure he stays hydrated and fed. They’re not a team by any stretch of the imagination, but it seems to work.
Wash, Ianto, and Eleven are the ones committing the crimes, only it’s all somewhat hazy and they seem to remember being dead, until the Doctor realises that he can’t actually, properly die until his thirteenth regeneration and since he only has one soul it’s not like the Eleventh Doctor’s soul could be busy off being dead, because it would be busy being the Twelfth Doctor. Wash and Ianto nod along a lot, not really getting half of what he’s going on about, but they can spot when they’re being used. Eleven does the figuring and calculating, Ianto organizes shit, Wash gets them where they need to be, and then they’re back in the world.
Ianto joins Clint and Luna to smooth things over with SHEILD, Torchwood, the World Security Council, and anyone else. Wash tags along and ends up joining SHEILD because they have the closest things to spaceships. Eleven would have shown Wash his spaceship, but he ran off to collect his companion(s) and figure out what all the aliens snatching people from reality and stealing random stuff was all about.
Sherlock, well, Sherlock decides to believe that he won. Whatever it was. He’s at that stage of his life where he’s on drugs more often than not, so he blames those. (It’s not a case he ever tells John about.)
(“If they made one of these just for flying and not for fighting…”
“Unfortunate side effect of wearing one is that the fighting tends to come to you,” says Tony coming up behind him as Wash admires the Iron Man Mark VIII suit.
“I’m not really a fighter,” says Wash, shrugging.
“Maybe.” Tony shoves his hands in the pockets of his jeans. “But I’ve seen you fly.”)
kath_ballantyne asked:
What does 5 (Hoban Washburne) make for a dinner with 9 (Toshiko Sato)?
Fired From A Fry Cook Opportunity
Wash knows that home cooked food means something, that someone gives enough of a shit about you to bother, and it’s not like he can afford to take his date out for dinner. The problem is though that he was once fired from a fry cook opportunity, because he just can’t cook. Still, when the blind date he’s been set up with (by the guy who’s been co-piloting for him on the last five SIM tests) shows up he’s managed scrambled eggs on toast that doesn’t look too badly burnt.
In the end it doesn’t matter: they end up chatting about SIM tech and flight tech and all kinds of teach and the food goes cold. Toshiko does tell him that she appreciates the effort, confesses that she can’t cook either, and they end up drinking a whole bottle of cheap rice wine between them, doodling on an unfolded, flattened cereal box to help explain their points to each other.
They don’t have a second date, but she’s one of Wash’s closest friends in his last year of Flight School and her second year in a governmental research programme. He often wonders, after the crash and the POW camp and the war; he wonders what happened to her and where she is now. After Miranda and the reminder of where the Alliance’s research can lead he decides that he doesn’t want to know.
Who would take the last seat on the bus out of 3 (Hermione Granger) and 7 (Sherlock Holmes)?
One Time On The Knight Bus
Sherlock hates the Knight Bus, but every taxi he’s tried has refused to take him and it’s still better than the Tube. He gets on and heads for the last seat, impatiently passing an annoyingly dawdling woman, then realizes than the reason for her slow pace is that she’s pregnant, hugely so.
He stands back to allow her to take the seat.
“Chivalrous,” she says, sitting down with a sigh. “I’d complain, but my feet are killing me.”
“I’d probably get blood all over it anyway,” Sherlock tells her, leaning on his harpoon, “and they tend to charge extra when you do that.”
(“You went on the Tube like that?” John asks when he gets in.
“None of the cabs would take me,” Sherlock replies without actually answering the question, because really he tends to avoid the Wizarding World and he has no intention of getting John involved in that mess.)
What did 2 (Rory Williams) do to scare the pants off 1 (Eleven)?
The Special Kind Of Normal And Ordinary
So, so many things that all boil down to one thing: the possibility of Rory getting hurt. It used to be because Rory being hurt would hurt Amy, and then it was because it hurt him seeing her without Rory, and then he realised that, no, actually he just plain can’t stand it himself. He’s never travelled with someone who’s managed to get himself killed so many times and he’s travelled with Jack. It terrifies him that normal, ordinary Rory keeps doing this to him and yet he has to admit Rory isn’t really that normal or ordinary, he’s a special kind of normal and ordinary that’s incredibly difficult to let go of, no matter how much better, safer, it is that he goes. (Saying goodbye to Amy is one of the most difficult things he’s ever done. He doesn’t dare try and say goodbye to Rory, who he never chose to be a companion and who never asked to be a companion and yet they grew on each other anyway.)

6 (River Tam) and 13 (Richard Castle) vs 8 (Mycroft Holmes) and 12 (Natasha Romanoff) – prank war
Entirely Worth It
There’s some big security debate that Beckett is sent to as one of the police representatives and Castle tags along because he thinks that it’s going to be fun. It really isn’t. There are none of the big wigs that he’s used to charming and nothing exciting happens. It’s just lots of serious people who are the ones behind the big wigs, the people who actually get things done, and all power to them but there’s no case, no action, nothing exciting going on.
He ends up making friends with a kid who’s been sat outside the main conference room kicking her heels, presumably waiting for someone. She points out one of the stuffy suited British guys and says she’s with him. Also, that he sent her for coffee a while back and she got him decaf, because she’s bored out of her mind too.
Castle prides himself on pranks, so he helps her to come up with a few more ideas. Over the weeklong conference they manage to get the guy more times than someone at a security conference really should be gotten. They catch a few of the people the guy spends time with too: collateral damage. Castle cannot find it in himself to be apologetic at all about drenching a red haired woman who has curves like woah.
Then the guy and the redhead prank them back and the war is on. River and Castle are forced to admit defeat, but they both think that the whole thing was entirely worth it.
(“You were bored too,” River tells Mycroft later, after providing him with a break down of the mental states of everyone who attended the conference and their possible next actions. Mycroft merely raises an eyebrow in return.)
(“Have fun?” Clint asks, teasing, when Natasha arrives back on the Hellicarrier. “Most fun I’ve ever had at one of those things,” she replies with a smirk at the corner of her mouth and a sway in her hips, and leaves Clint wondering what the hell she managed to get up to this time and if there’s any surveillance footage he can attempt to get hold of.)
(“I don’t want to know,” Beckett says. She really doesn’t.)
