Okay, I've already got a half-finished ficlet that pretty much fits this prompt. Better get working on finishing it... :-) (Although it might have to get in the queue behind the *other* two J/B prompt fics I'm working on already as well!)
Fill: The Gallant Gentleman (Rating PG-13) Spoiler FreesamueljamesAugust 16 2011, 10:50:59 UTC
Jess grabs her mobile phone to switch off her alarm and sits up in bed. As usual there is a cup of tea waiting for her. She lifts the cup and purses her lips. The surface of the tea ripples slightly as she blows, to cool it enough for that first lovely sip. Far from discovering any of Becker's bad habits after moving in she's realised just how sweet he can be. Every morning he makes her a cup of tea before having his shower and on the weekends there's often breakfast in bed. Aside from an aversion to ironing he's practically perfect in every way. She told him as much once and it made him blush. Unfortunately Connor and Abby had been over for dinner at the time and now Connor has taken to calling Becker Mary Poppins
( ... )
When Jess has menstrual cramps he brings her a hot water bottle and watches Love, Actually with her. Despite jokingly complaining about the film Becker ends up enjoying it.
I do have a special fondness for Love, Actually but it could work with a different film. There are some 'girly' ones that I hate but maybe it could be something like Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You or Mannequin which kind of thrive on Nostalgia.
Alternatively it could be something unexpected like Con Air or Die Hard that Becker wouldn't have initially thought she'd like.
The main idea behind the prompt for me was having Jess have a favourite film that always makes things better, the kind of film that you can put on at any point when you need cheering up.

Jess really doesn't like the beard, so he shaves it off =]
