Can we do that thing where you give me a subject and I list TOP 5? Please? Because I'm bored, and needs should definitely be met. As long as it doesn't require ointments the next day.

Five fictional characters (from different 'verses) you'd invite to the same dinner party cuz they'd get on like a house on fire.

If I was allowed to invite fictional characters, I wouldn't care whether they got along or not. I'd just invite who I most wanted to see. But, in light of your prompt:

To romanticize:
-Marianne Dashwood
-Anne of Green Gables
-Maria (from The Sound of Music)
-Sara Crew (from A Little Princess, older, so I can see how she grew up and who she ended up with)
-Tatyana (from Eugene Onegin)

To be sparkly, witty, misguided, and human:
-Elizabeth Bennet
-Buffy Summers
-Isobel Archer (from Portrait of a Lady)
-Lorelai Gilmore (from the show "Gilmore Girls")
-Prospero (only because I don't believe Shakespeare is fictional)

To brood, say nothing, not look at each other, and say how much they hate themselves when I've plied them with too much booze:
-Angel
-Jean Valjean
-Erik (from The Phantom of the Opera, after he last sees Christine. Not the book version or the musical version or any version but the one in my head.)
-Severus Snape
-Mr. Rochester

Interesting how I don't seem to like the mixing of gender idea we recently acquired in these past 100 years or so.

Those last 5 wouldn't get on well at all.

No, they wouldn't. The idea is cracking me up, however. Got any Plotbunny-B-Gone on ya?

No, if any of those gave you a bunny, no Bunny-B-Gone for you.

*loves*

Though I did a double take at Prospero. And I'm kind of coveting a BtVS/P&P crossover. O.o With vamp!Lydia.

He is narrating the proceedings, really. And magically filling the table with food. I considered inviting five chef characters played by Gerard Depardieu.

Please tell me you are writing that.
