I'm patiently waiting for the choral singing and competitive orchid growing ones.
As the child of an orchid growing family (who alas, has a black thumb) competitive orchid growing fic would eclipse all and every sports fic in sheer realms of cattiness and rivalry. It would be EPIC*. If I had a dollar for every time I'd said, "MY GOD, PEOPLE. THEY ARE ONLY PLANTS," I probably wouldn't ever have to worry about debt again. Plus there are plenty of gays in the village, so if your ~thing was "everybody is gay!" you could almost get away with it.
* And then they kiss and make up but god forbid they buy plants together or combine their collections. "It was YOUR dendrobiums that brought in that aphid infestation!" "Yeah? Well you over watering gave my paph's crown rot!"**
** True conversation. I wish I was joking. It went rapidly downhill from there.
