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:
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!

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)

“Out of all the ridiculous things you've said in these briefings, this just topped everything.”
“What about that time when we stole the French Embassy? That scored pretty high...” Hardison suggested.
“I liked steeling the bank. It had a vault,” Parker told every one.
Eliot glared at them, slightly disgusted. “A pantheon. Steel a pantheon. That's not even possible! How am I the only one that sees that?”
“I didn't mean an actual pantheon,” Nate explained. “We're going to create one. Preferably based on ourselves so we can create a believable hallucination...”
Only among the four of them did that make sense.
“Nate could be Santa!” Parker exclaimed happily, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “There could be costumes. I love our costumes,” she added with a smile.
There was an awkward silence while the three men tried to come up with something to say that wouldn't consist of 'there's something wrong with you' (Eliot), 'I'm not going to be Santa, Parker' (Nate) or 'I have a Princess Leia costume...' (Hardison).
And the silence stretched...
“I could set up a website,” Hardison said, mostly to say something. But then his brain caught up with his mouth and he grinned. “We could get like a million worshipers overnight. Hell, we could register as an official church.”
And then it hit him and an dreamy smile appeared on his face. “We could be like the Church of the Jedi...”
“Don't people send money to churches?” Parker frowned. She turned to Nate. “If Hardison gets a church, I want a church too.”
“Everybody's going to get a church,” Nate said lightly.
Eliot glared at him. “Don't encourage them.”
But it was already too late. Hardison was typing on his keyboard like there was no tomorrow, with Parker hovering over his shoulder demanding Wednesday to be her holiday. Eliot knew this would not end well. And even if, somehow, they managed to make this con happen, this would most likely haunt him for the rest of his life.
“Eliot, sign up to be my worshiper, I need worshipers to celebrate Wednesdays with money,” Parker's voice pulled him back into the reality.
“See what you did?” He hissed glaring at Nate and with a heavy sigh he stood up from his armchair and went to sign up to a new religion. This would not end well.

Incredible work.
