Wednesday: What if God Was One of Us

[havenward.livejournal.com]

Ok, forgive me the super-cheesy song lyric subject line. I'm havenward and I'll be handling hosting duties for today. And today? We're going to play among the gods.

Have you got a fandom whose characters are gods? (This is a shout out to the old school Hercules: The Legendary Series!) Or maybe the gods crash the party and play havoc with the lives of your favorite people. Perhaps someone has secretly been a god all along, or is a reincarnation of a god. The possibilities are endless!


But please remember to keep to the rules:

No more that 5 prompts in a row, and no more than 3 prompts per fandom. If someone answers a prompt, you can prompt again.

No spoilers in your prompts for at least 1 week after original publication/air date. If there's spoilers in your story, please warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces.

Please be kind to the codemonkeys and format your prompt correctly. For example:

Burn Notice, Michael Westen, you expect me to believe you're a god of war?

American Gods/Supernatural, Shadow/Sam/Dean/John, belief is the most powerful magic (the most powerful drug)

Not seeing anything that's biting? Head on over to our Lonely Prompts and see if you can't find something more to your liking. Happy writing!

Don't You Know

Prompt: X-Men, Pyro/Iceman, Thor's warning

Don't You Know (What You Are)

-----

“You don’t know what you are, do you?” The words kept repeating, over and over, in Bobby’s dreams. Asleep or waking, he could not rid himself of the question once it had been asked. He hated these dreams, if they were dreams, because they were uncomfortable and cold. They felt like nightmares, and Bobby was always on edge – as if he was about to be attacked, yet nothing ever happened. That was perhaps most maddening of all.

At least he could still wake up when he wanted to. Bobby was grateful for that much control, because the moment that question was asked, he always wanted to wake up – and did so with a shuddering breath.

It was always as if he couldn’t get enough air, or eerier, had forgotten how to breath.

In fact, if Bobby thought back on it, this had all started with those achingly haunting dreams. John had found him in the kitchen, trying to get drunk for the first time since finding out he really was different from everyone else, so evolutionally special he was little better then a freak of nature’s whim, a human mutant. If only, he would wish later, that was all he was. It was a bit ironic, John was the first to admit, that they were such opposites that they gravitated toward each other with such inevitably. While Bobby hated a little bit what he had become, John reveled in it.

“You really are Jackie Frost, you know that?” John nodded toward the window that Bobby had been leaning against; even as he glanced behind himself Bobby had a feeling what he would find. Frail ice had painted snow flake patterns over the window. Bobby shuddered a little bit, because he hadn’t meant to.

“Sorry.” Bobby mumbled, looking away before he could see John puff on his cigarette to make it burn, the flare of an ember would have told him that John hadn’t wanted him to apologies.

“It’s alright; you can’t help being what you are. What’s your name?” John smiled at him, and took a drag from his cig at the same time. He didn’t cough, and he’s eyes didn’t look wet like some unhealthy smokers do, his eyes were as black as a dead ember, but there was a sureness there of being burnt. Bobby couldn’t help but wonder if John was as immune to fire and smoke, as Bobby was to ice and cold.

“Bobby Drake.” Mumbled and shy, Bobby didn’t know anyone in his first week, not really wanting to know anyone, incase this was only a dream. In the logic of dreams, he might wake up –normal - if he didn’t know their names, it was a wonder John had heard his name, let alone understood the words.

“John Allerdyce.” With a smile and snake like charm, Bobby was drawn in.
