H_C bingo card

[frith_in_thorns]

I know I literally just got a gen_bingo card, but I can't ignore hc_bingo! So here it is.

sensory deprivation	blackmail	undeserved reputation	deadline / time bomb	hiding an injury / illness
runaways	branding	ritualized pain / injury	resurrection	mercy killing
fall from grace	archaic medical treatment	WILD CARD	septicemia / infected wounds	hostile climate
kidnapping	witch hunt	culture shock	loss of job / income	rejection
extortion	unexpected consequences of planned soulbonding	blood loss	forced to participate in illegal / hurtful activity	slaves

I'm... hmm. It's not bad, but I'm not hugely enthusiastic. Although that might just because I got that bloody soulbonding square yet again.

I could do a lot of these for Simon Illyan though :P

I think you might have to write the soulbonding one, to make it go away ;-). Perhaps an AU where the memory chip was an experimental variant on the Jeeves thing they do on Jackson's Whole, or the telepathy thing, to make Illyan a perfectly loyal soldier because he is so psychically connected to his Emperor. Only it doesn't work like that and Illyan ends up trapped and bonded to a dying Emperor, fated to go through Ezar's final illness with him and die with him, until Aral and Cordelia come up with a way to save him which leaves him sort of half-bonded to Aral.... IDK, I'm a bit sleep-deprived right now, you can probably come up with a better plot.

I think the post-Memory adjusting to not having the chip is wide open for fic, really. The time thing makes a lot of sense. There must be so many things that he hasn't had to do for thirty years, all showing up at once to bite him.
