I'm writing Birthday fic at the moment, for a certain person on our mutual flist :-P It's a HIghlander/Torchwood crossover, and features characters I've never written before - it's also becoming crackier by the moment!
For example...
The earth shook as they scrambled up the rocks, and hightailed it through the furze. There wasn't much cover to be found - unless they suddenly started picking the heather to use for camouflage.
“WHOOOOAaaaaaaHHHHHH”
Methos looked over his shoulder as the ground continued to shuuder. “It’s actually chasing us!” Methos said. He began to giggle as they raced through a bank of heather, and Duncan and Richie looked at him in disbelief. “Oh, come on,” Methos said. “You have to admit it’s a bit funny. Only we could go fishing and end up with the Loch Ness Monster chomping on our hook! What was that that Joe said about you being a lightening rod for trouble?”
“Aye, well, you’re not exactly wearing rubber soles yourself, you know…I’ve met a few of you friends, remember?” Mac said, but he had begun to grin too, and soon they were both laughing.
“Dudes, this is not funny,” we’re about to be eaten by the Lock Ness Monster!” Richie felt the edges of his mouth turn up, despite himself. “"Oh man," he said. "Do you know how hard it's to laugh and run at the same time?"
