Since I'm not good for much, but even I should be able to manage sentances.
1) Give me ten one-word prompts for a fandom/character/pairing of your choice.
2) I'll write one/two sentances for each of those prompts.
Fandoms: All the old favourites, but new things I've found include The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, The Equalizer, and the Flashman series. As usual, anything you want me to try, at least ask and I'll see what I can do.
Also here on my LJ.

1) Singing
Mina cannot sing. Mina really cannot sing. But sitting in the salon of the Nautilus, looking at each other in desperation, there is not a man present with the will to tell her so.
2) Water
Henry watches Nemo, sometimes. Him and Edward, watching the dark man, watching him stare out at the oceans he calls his home, the endless expanses of water ... and think they suit each other, the man and the sea. Both calm, tempestuous, powerful. Both unknowable, in their way.
3) Shriek
It sounds like a woman, a shriek of terror and panic, and as one Sawyer and Henry are running, Nemo catching them up in the corridor, and then they burst into the room ... to see Skinner all but climbing the walls, and Mina standing there looking very, very innocent. Sawyer blinks. He hadn't realised Skinner had it in him.
4) Green
Spend any amount of time on the Nautilus, Sawyer thinks, and you learn to eat pretty much anything. Pretty much anything. But this ... it's green, it's stinky, it has roughly the same consistency as some of Mina's experiments, and there is no way in hell he's going to eat it. Then Nemo raises an eyebrow at him, and he thinks maybe it doesn't look so bad after all.
5) Scratching
Edward hears scratching, in the night. Edward hears a lot of things Henry doesn't hear, or doesn't realise he's hearing. And Henry's learned to listen to the things Edward says he hears. He goes to fetch Nemo.
6) Ink
Mina has an elegant hand, Allan thinks. A very elegant hand, neat and curling, with well-formed letters. It might look almost charming, if one didn't know the ink she used was not exactly one you could buy in a bookseller's. Not even the less reputable ones. Not even in Africa.
7) Whisper
Sawyer hears him sometimes. Hears whispers over his shoulder, warm and rumbling, guiding. He hears him, and knows he should be afraid, should worry for his sanity. But hell. His sanity was lost the minute he joined this outfit, and for now he's just glad to have Quartermaine's advice when he needs it.
8) Debate
Edwards wants him to act. Henry thinks it's too dangerous. Far too dangerous. Nemo ... they have no way to know how he will react, and Henry treasures their friendship with the man too much to risk it. But Edward wants, and so does he, and Edward knows it too.
9) Hidden
There are places, on the Nautilus, that his new friends do not know. That no-one knows. Places that even his crew do not see. Places where Nemo holds himself apart, where he goes when he must be beyond people, where he must let loose his rage where it can do no harm. One day ... perhaps he will reveal them. If anyone would understand, it is these people.
10) Newspaper
It's on their last day in Africa that they see it. Mina's sitting calmly at her breakfast table, reading a local newspaper with aplomb while Sawyer watches her and the others watch him watching, when she gasps, and they turn to pay real attention. And they see it. See him. Allan Quartermaine, staring out at them from the page, and the date on the picture is yesterday's.

Thanks for indulging me. I'd just watched it earlier that day so. I also am glad that you got some stuff with Jekyll and Hyde there.

*nods* Jekyll/Hyde were sort of my favs, them and Skinner. I'm afraid I sort of ship them a bit with Nemo, though, which probably shows a lot.
