I have never actually participated in a kink meme. Once in a while I've read fic on one, but very rarely; I'm not a terribly kinky person. I understand a lot of kinks on a sort of intellectual, quasi-anthropological level, but at the end of the day my pleasures are uncomplicated.

But stranded_pearl linked me to a kink-meme request after I posted my last Six Things About Sherlock, specifically in relation to my questioning of the ultimate fate of the episode's MacGuffin, and I done wrote a fanfic.

There's only a pinch of kink in it, mind you.

The proper way to pit an avocado is to slice the avocado in half, thwack the edge of your sharp knife into the pit, and then pry it out using leverage or physics or some damn function of the natural world.

Things it is inadvisable to do whilst drunk: pit an avocado.

I am intact, but the poor avocado is not. I'm not sure where the pit went, but it's in the kitchen somewhere. It sort of...flew out of the pulp. I imagine I'll find it tomorrow.

I realise it's unreasonable to be pitting avocados and drinking vodka tonics. I have no defence. The avocado was there.
