Random line that came up in a conversation - writing it down so I won't forget.


"I would not put my hypothetical dick in the mouth of my hypothetical vampire lover"

...It just sounds very Ned/Ro, honestly. I feel like those two would have lots of ridiculous banter of that kind. I've written vampire roleplay with them before, and yeah, I do imagine that's on the table for this pairing. They probably get silly with it sometimes. (Maybe even full-on van Helsing/Count Dracula, hahaaaa)

The above line seems more suited to talky fantasies rather than actually playing something out. You know, all, "And then what? What would you do next? Wink-wink" kind of thing.

There isn't a lot of characterization in canon for Romania, but he sure seems like the kind of guy who would be good-natured about playing along with sexy vampire bullshit, as long as nobody took any of it too seriously. (I doubt he takes himself too seriously, either.) (Besides, the fangs are actual canon, let's work with what we've got. :P )

Speaking of - one of these days, I'm going to have to finish this one fic I have with those two. Except, it isn't actually NL/RO.

When I was first drafting "Playing in the Dark*", I was having a tough time. The characterization was wrong, and the mood wasn't coming out right. So, I scrapped the draft and completely rewrote it.

I still have the original, though, and one of these days I'm going to do a complete overhaul of the first version in order to make it an original story. No roleplaying in that one, though - just some hapless Dutch guy who realizes way too late that the hot tourist he picked up for a one-night-stand is actually a vampire. 8)

It'll really help with the characterization issues - neither of them were really themselves in the first place, so I can do whatever I want. And the mood in the first draft was pretty sharp and scary compared to the fic that I ended up with; the scene where Ro stands outside insisting that Ned invites him in was a lot creepier the way I first put it down.

I've probably mentioned this story before but honestly I have the brain of a goldfish and can never remember what I had for breakfast, let alone anything else, so here we are. Hopefully I will finish writing it sometimes in the next... decade....
