Request. Grissom/Sara, with HAT.
Grissom looked pained. That in itself was not strange, but the cause of it rather was.
"Sara..."
"We did shake on it. Kissed on it. You would eat your hat if I could get a print of the stuffed moose. I did, so your appetite better be fantastic."
"Does it have to be this hat?"
"Yes," she said firmly, giving the straw hat a hard stare. "You look like a farmer in it, and I am sleeping with an entomologist. Now eat."
Grissom sighed, but brightened up slightly when he rememberd he had an old cowboy hat in his closet he could make use of instead. "Can I at least have ketchup?"
And thus passed the HAT, not in fire, but in tomatoes.

Request: Ten/Rose, a strange way of drinking coffee
There were a still a few things to get used to with the new Doctor, and Rose discovered one of them a morning in the TARDIS.
"Hello!" he said brightly, as she just stared.
"That's... A strange way of drinking coffee," she managed, watching his tongue lick the fork clean with maticilous care.
"Ice-ice coffee," he grinned, chipping another bit loose from the cup. "Want a taste?"
He looked so cheerful and hopeful it would be kicking a puppy to resist, so she leaned forward and closed her lips around the piece, taking care to suck it in slowly. He just watched, eyes a little open.
"Mmm. Good. Strange, but good. Is there more?"
"We'll share."
He was as good as his words, she decided a few minutes later, licking ice-ice coffee from his tongue. It might be a strange way of drinking coffee, but she was sure she could get used to it.

Request: Tenth Doctor and skydiving.
"That was a riot," the Doctor says, and she grins, because his grin is infectious and it keeps her from screaming instead.
"Yeah, skydiving without a parachute and with a giant maggot eating your hair, that's... Riot-esque," she tries, and he wipes his hands over her head, shaking off some goo.
"Souvenirs," he grins.
"I so need a shower," she mutters. "So do you. You look like a maggot barfed all over you."
"Interestingly, not far from the truth," he replies, looking down himself.
"I wouldn't know," she says sharply. "I thought you'd died."
She walks on, feeling tears sting her eyes, and a moment later, his hand on her arm halts her and she's swept into an embrace.
"Is it always going to be a laugh?" she whispers against his ear.
"No," he says. "It's just easier when it is."
And she laughs, because she's covered in goo, and because he is, because she's just skydived and been saved in freefall, because his parachute has a TARDIS on it and because he's right, and it is easier.
She just sometimes wishes it wasn't.

Request: Nine/Ten ineraction and fruit.
"I like bananas," the Doctor says, and both Roses sigh, because it always starts like that.
"I like satsumas," the other Doctor says, sticking his hands in his pockets and looking defiant. "You never saved the world with a banana."
"I could've!" the first, or rather Ninth, Doctor protests. "Right, Rose?"
"Don't you drag Rose into this," Ten says sternly. "Um, which Rose?"
Rose looks at Rose and they both just shrug their shoulders and buddle together out of earshot.
"Think they'll keep at it the whole night like last time paradox?" Rose of the Tenth Doctor asks.
"Probably," Rose of the Ninth agrees.
"We'll be bored."
"I don't know, when they both sulked for half hour, that was cute."
"Yeah. Did you shag yours after?"
"Yeah. Did you?"
"Yeah."
They watch for a while.
"Say, Rose..."
"Yes, Rose?"
"Think we could get them to wrestle it out in mud?"

Request: Ten/Rose
He keeps looking at her when he works the TARDIS console and it's driving her a little nuts. Stroking a hand across a ball, looking at her. Dipping his fingers into the wires, looking at her. Thrusting the levers, looking at her. Turning the knobs, looking at her. Flipping a switching, looking at her, looking at her and she wants to pin him up against the console and have him pretend she's the TARDIS.
Except that she won't, because they're friends and he's the Doctor and it's not like that, really. It's more important than that.
She can still look, and pretend, and think that when he looks, he pretends too.

"Is it always going to be a laugh?" she whispers against his ear.
"No," he says. "It's just easier when it is."
I think pretty much sum up Ten for me so far.
