Still taking questions for the fifteen characters in wacky situations meme!

Recs! These both fall into the category of 'write what you know', which is an AWESOME category of fic that I really love, yet feel strangely self-conscious about trying myself. But here's how to do it!
A New Low by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rosemaryandrue (Merlin, Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Morgana)
Written for this prompt at kinkme_merlin, which asked for diabetic!Merlin stuck in a lift with Arthur. It grew from there.
Given what's been going on with me the past couple of weeks, this was JUST what the doctor ordered! It's a delightful modern AU with great characters, a ton of geek references and a very sweet developing relationship.
Heel Turn bybrownbetty (Star Trek Reboot, Kirk, Sulu, ensemble)
Eventually, they discover it's all McCoy's fault. "What!" he protests. "He came to me with his hand sliced open from that damn pig-sticker of his, and I told him to find a hobby with fewer monomolecular edges! It's sound medical advice!"
OH MAN, I miss the tone of this fandom so much, and this totally delivers. SULU! *draws all the hearts* But everyone gets to be awesome in this.

I was reading the above whilst chatting toavendya, and then we got onto the topic of what hobbies other characters might enjoy:
such_heights: Also I am reading a fic about Sulu knitting on the bridge of the Enterprise. I love fandom so much.
such_heights: "Sulu looks outraged. “They're rumoured to know a seventeenth method of turning a heel, previously unknown in Federation space! This is going to totally revolutionize sock theory!” He swings his chair in a circle in dorky glee. Everyone continues to stare at Sulu. Sulu picks up his knitting and starts clicking happily."
such_heights: [is laughing out loud at this story]
avendya: Amy, you are my favorite.
avendya: oh god why did I just bookmark Sulu knitting fanfic
avendya: what is wrong with me
such_heights: also there is more hilarity in the comments
such_heights: http://brownbetty.dreamwidth.org/522361.html?thread=7152505#cmt7152505
avendya: oh my god I am dying of laughter
avendya: knitting!Spock! I need knitting!Spock in my life!
such_heights: heeeeee
such_heights: oh, Trek Reboot fandom, you're so awesome
such_heights: and now I am thinking of other hilarious hobbies characters should have
such_heights: Oh man, imagine Cameron deciding to take up knitting.
avendya: ...
avendya: ...
avendya: ...
avendya: DYING.
such_heights: SHE'D BE SUPER INTO IT
such_heights: John and Sarah would be all o.O
such_heights: And she'd make John cardigans because she has observed he frequently dresses sub-optimally for winter temperatures
avendya: She would knit John socks and lecture him about how he needs to keep his feet warm to save humanity!
such_heights: ...
such_heights: HIVE MIND
avendya: Derek would be _so confused_.
such_heights: Ahahaha, it would be great
avendya: Can we find Summer Glau and film this? Please?
such_heights: Sure
such_heights: I am now contemplating what kind of hobbies Eleven might have in obscure rooms in the TARDIS
such_heights: maybe he makes model planes and spaceships and things
avendya: Eleven totally paints models and has a closet full of ALL THE MODEL PAINTS.
such_heights: awwww
avendya: And little die casts of all the models of TARDISes available.
such_heights: and some of the models are in about seven dimensions
such_heights: and you can only see them on Tuesday afternoons
avendya: Except by Tuesday, he actually means "every second Thursday".
