Okay, I need something to get my fannish writing muscles back in shape (we aren't going to talk about the rest of me). So, from bop_radar:

Name a character (from a show I'm familiar with) and I'll give you three (or more) facts about them from my personal canon/fanon.

1. Lex absolutely hates having to lie to people who have any business knowing the truth. Thus, he avoids it whenever possible. He just slants the truth, or says things that sound like answers but aren't really. He is an excellent witness in depositions when LuthorCorp gets sued, because he never gives up a thing.

2. Lex doesn't remember it, but he used to believe in God. He stopped when his mother's mental state didn't improve after he took the blame for Julian's death. That was supposed to be the deal. And other than Clark Kent, Lex doesn't give second chances.

3. One reason Lex is so focused on the alien threat is that it gives meteor mutants a potentially decisive role in saving the world. And whenever people say "meteor mutants are dangerous," Lex knows they're right and knows they're talking about him. It's important to be dangerous for a reason.

1. Scully generally voted Republican. Her dad always did, and she's never seen any reason to reject his judgment. (Eventually she stopped voting, but that was painful for her, even though she knew by then it didn't matter.)

2. Scully wore frumpy clothes at first because she thought it would help her be taken seriously. Then she wore amazing clothes because she thought it would help her to be taken seriously. And then she dressed well because it was time to stop waiting to be taken seriously.

3. By the time William came, Scully was so far from rational on anything conspiracy-related that she was almost back to sane. She knows -- and would even tell anyone who asked, if there were anyone to ask -- that giving William up was scant protection. Of course any of their many enemies could easily find him. But the fact of the matter was that she couldn't take care of an infant and do her job, and plenty of people could keep William alive, but she was it for Mulder. If she could get William back now, when he wouldn't require constant care, she would.

1. Krycek didn't know who he was working for half the time, and it pissed him off. Not as much as Mulder did, but a lot.

2. He thinks that Scully shooting Mulder was the most hysterically funny thing he's ever seen. He's pretty sure that, if Scully had been the one with the obsession over Samantha, she might even have found her. And yeah, he'd do her.

3. Krycek is not dead. But his missing arm still itches and he'd kill at least ten people to scratch that itch.

1. Buffy knows quite well the difference between dumb and ignorant, and knows that, with regard to many things the world values, she is the latter. For a while it was a "why bother?" thing with her, since all she was ever going to do was be the Slayer. To some extent that's still true, since she's going to be doing the leadership thing until she dies for good. She'd like to try college again, or at least she thinks about it wistfully from time to time, but she'll never do it. And that's one reason she doubts she and Angel will ever work it out. That little flash of disappointment in his eyes when she missed some cultural reference never stopped hurting, and it never will.

2. She thinks about Willow that way sometimes. Knows it would be a mistake. Never thinks about Faith that way, because even if it would be a mistake it might not matter.

3. She once asked Giles how old the oldest Slayer got. He changed the subject. She figures she's been it for at least three-four years.

1. Mal likes wanting Inara because it can't happen, so it won't. There's a great comfort in having something to put his back against. He knows how that's supposed to feel. The fact that it hurts to want her and not get her is less pleasant, but it's part of the deal.

2. Mal isn't sly, but if he were, he'd go for Jayne a hundred times before Simon. No doubt Simon's prettier, but who wants to work that hard? And Simon would be all concerned for Mal's pleasure. A man wants to be with someone who's enjoying himself. Bed's not a place for helping others. (Kaylee's entitled to her choice, of course. But she's always let her head be turned by pretty things.)

3. Not that he wanted to get shot and nearly die. But it makes him feel right, deep in his bones, that Serenity's got nearly as much of his blood in her as he does.

I love your Krycek.

I fell in love with him in Deny Nothing, and I love him still today.

1. Scully totally slept with Ed Jerse. The pantyhose? A continuity error.

2. Scully cheated on Jack once, about three months before they broke up, with a guy she knew from med school. What did you think "resentful" meant?

3. Scully never once cheated in school, though she was sorely tempted one time when she had to make up a really tough organic chemistry test and was left alone in the professor's office, where there was a copy of the textbook. She didn't because she knew she'd never forgive herself. She got an A in the course anyway.

Oh, nice. Especially 2 - makes her more human, in, like, traditional human ways.

1. Of course she thought about Lionel, how it would be with him, even when Jonathan was alive. A woman would have to be dead not to, when Lionel was standing so close and touching her all the time. That doesn't mean she did anything wrong or ever would have. She was raised to understand very well that there were lines not to be crossed, boys not to be brought home -- and even if she did marry one, she knew that a lot of them shouldn't be brought home for a reason. Thinking never hurt anyone; acting often did. So she behaved with the utmost propriety, and brought that extra energy to the place it belonged, the bed she shared with Jonathan.

2. She had a cat named Snowball when she was a girl. It was a white Persian-mutt type, nearly blind, and it got hit by a car when she was twelve. She's always wanted another cat, but cats haven't thrived in Smallville since 1989. Maybe they have some special vulnerability to Kryptonite. (Given what she knows now, she tries not to eat much food grown in Smallville unless it's from their farm, which she knows is clean.)

3. Jonathan taught her to use a shotgun, but what she really wants is a handgun. Despite what happened to Senator Webb, she's seriously thinking about getting a concealed carry permit for when she's in Virginia, where she has a brand new tiny apartment.

The ways of our people!

1. Mulder reads poetry. Modern poetry, even. The search for meaning, for patterns, in what seems to most to be obscure is something that always interests him.

2. If he were king of the world, Mulder would drive a red convertible. The only passenger allowed would be Scully.

3. Mulder knows he is happier in hiding with Scully than he could be anywhere else. He's not all that happy. People who think that happiness is the main goal of life just haven't figured out the stakes.
