Fic request meme time again

rallamajoopFor reasons probably best not questioned too deeply, whenever you go to the 'stats' part of ff.net's user panel, your (or at least *my*) fic are listed, by default, in reverse alphabetical order. Since this is the least of the inexplicable features of that site I probably shouldn't complain too much, however, seeing everything you've written listed (sort of) alphabetically does lead one to notice dumb little things like, "Oh hey, I've written a fic with a title starting with every letter except A, M, Q, U, Y and Z. Wouldn't it be neat to have covered the whole alphabet?"
Which leads me to one of the stranger sources of inspiration for a request meme I've ever had. The prompt will go as follows: Give me a fic title starting with any of the letters I've never used before (ie, A, M, Q, U, Y or Z) and a series/character/pairing, and I will attempt to come up with some sort of fic to go with it. You can always include more than one title or additional info about what the fic should contain in your prompt if you'd prefer, though only a title is strictly necessary.
Titles may have as many words as you like, just as long as they start with the right letter. For the sake of the argument, titles starting with the word 'The' shall be counted as starting with a T (otherwise, I've already written "The Magician", so M would be out of the running). A list of the series I've written for before may be found under my LJ memories. There are a fair few others under 'Misc' or which I've written crossovers for too, which should also be considered fair game.
Obviously, I'd like to wind up with one fic per letter, but if what I get is requests for three A's, two M's and a Y and I wind up writing for two M's and an A, it shall be no great surprise. As always, no promises any fic will result from any given prompt, but anyone's welcome to request. ^_^

Ponder Stibbons, Quod Erat Demonstrandum ?
I am having such bad luck with interpreting these suggestions
Date: 2007-09-16 12:17 pm (UTC)You ask for strange letter, you get foreign stuff :p
Date: 2007-09-16 12:20 pm (UTC)I would not be adverse to him teaching something to Young Sam. Or trying to.Re: You ask for strange letter, you get foreign stuff :p
Date: 2007-09-16 01:29 pm (UTC)Ooh, I *like* that idea. I wonder if I can do it justice...Clearly I will now have to go reread Discworld for inspiration. =3Re: You ask for strange letter, you get foreign stuff :p
Date: 2007-09-16 01:34 pm (UTC)I have absolute confidence.Rereading Discworld is always a good thing. Making Money is coming out this week, isn't it? :3Re: You ask for strange letter, you get foreign stuff :p
Date: 2007-09-16 01:37 pm (UTC)...possibly it could involve him trying to explain advanced physics using cowsNo arguments there. Ooh, is it? But it probably won't have much Ponder or young Sam, so that might be cheating.That's not my cow
Date: 2007-09-16 01:46 pm (UTC)That would be fantastic.The exact date differs according to the source, but I'm pretty sure it's coming in the next five days. I don't have much hope for Young Sam, but maybe some Ponder?
