Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return (and if inspired), I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.
I also offer the caveat that I will not attempt to write fandoms I am not familiar with the canon for.

Also: why am I still up at 2 am arrrrrgh.

The abbot found the ladder easily enough. The young monk's luck was better than usual; it hadn't fallen or gotten caught on the ivy twining up the side of the stable, and all its rungs were still intact. Father Jerome scrambled up it onto the slate tiles that made up the roof.
A shadow sat near the apex, head tilted back, face turned skyward. Father Jerome edged across on his hands and knees, the tiles biting at his robe. "Brother Fargo, you missed Vespers."
"I'm sorry." No denial, no deflection of blame. That was unlike the young man in several ways.
"You owe me no apology." Father Jerome sat on the cold roof a few feet away from the other man.
"But you think I owe God one." Brother Fargo sighed. "I just - I appreciate the services, but I feel closer to the Divine up here, regarding His handiwork, than I do in the pews." He exhaled slowly, his breath forming a puff of mist between them. "Brother James, Brother Vincent - they have something in their devotion that I don't, something I'm missing. They may not talk with God, exactly, but they feel him, in their prayers and their duties. And I . . . don't." He shrugged. "The closest I get to that is up here, contemplating the vastness of the stars."
"You are still too connected to the world. Let go of that, and you will find what you seek." Father Jerome shushed himself; the young man didn't need a lecture, and that wouldn't bring him back to earth.
"I just - I feel ignored, I guess." Brother Fargo looked up. "It's selfish. Being jealous is selfish. Up here, it's just me."
Father Jerome nodded and began crawling backwards towards the ladder. "It's your turn to ring bells for Compline."
"I'll be there." Brother Fargo nodded, then looked upwards again.
