Monday - AU day!

[entropynchaos.livejournal.com]

Hey all! It's great to be back and choosing themes for the comm. *waves*

Now, I know it's early for our American brothers and sisters (although I think this is just within the time limits), but unfortunately I live in England. And I have to be somewhere in an hour and I'm typing this from my bed. *rolls eyes*

MONDAY - AU DAY

That's right. Today your theme is AU/AR...alternate universes/realities. What's that mean? Well, it could simply be that Puck decided to go out with Kurt instead of Rachel back in season 1, or maybe Owen and Tosh were together all along. But why not switch it up? Maybe the Life on Mars team are space pirates, or the Losers are all at the same high school. Maybe you could explore the world imagined by one of the jobs pulled by the Leverage crew where Eliot's a horse trainer or Nate's a professional magician.

There's a whole heap of ideas just waiting to be imagined - but remember, there are a few rules!
- No more than five prompts in a row, and no more than three per fandom. Remember, as soon as someone takes on one of your prompts, you can post another.
- No spoilers in your prompts for at least seven days after first air-date/release date; if there are spoilers in your fic, warn in bold in the subject line and leave at least three spaces.
- And please, please be kind to our codemonkeys because their job's difficult enough as is, and format your prompts correctly, like so:


Fandom, Pairing, Prompt

Life on Mars UK, Gene/Sam, space pirates!

or

Fandom 1/Fandom 2, Character 1/Character 2, Prompt

Merlin/Torchwood, Merlin & Ianto, Jack's the new knight in Camelot...and he brought Ianto with him


Happy prompting!

Life on Mars UK, Gene/Sam + team, space pirates!

i started this before i saw your "play" prompt...

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

Sam is a hell of a Hamlet. If nothing else, he's selling out the tickets. It's a surefire sell-out scheme to star a Winchester in a play -- Dean brought in enough money in last year's Bye Bye Birdie that the school was able to afford a new curtain for the auditorium.

Gabriel was a bit of a bitch when Sam got the part, but he's much better where he is, a deliciously ridiculous Rozencrantz to Dean's Guildenstern. The two of them together scare Sam, honestly... that is too much ridiculous in one package.

But he's never had an opportunity to talk that closely with Gabe, who's Dean's friend first and foremost and has never really taken much of an interest in the younger of the Winchester boys. This changes the minute he sees Sam laugh, and all of a sudden Sam's his favorite target.

He puts a rubber chicken inside Yorick's skull, he convinces Ophelia to do an entire scene with him in a fake Russian accent, he pops up on stage every time they rehearse the line "Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are dead" and does an elaborate fake death scene. But it takes until the Death by Heart Palpitations After Seeing Really Hot Guy before Sam finally realizes this is Gabriel's juvenile way of flirting.

Dean doesn't want to hear about it. He refuses to rein in his pet prankster in general, doubly so if he has to think about said pet prankster's motives. And of course there's not much you can do about these things before the production. So Sam waits until the cast party, or, rather, he waits until everyone else has left to go to the cast party. He sits in the wings, and he waits for Gabriel to see the note that Sam's left on his dashboard.

He hears the doors slam, hears the footsteps of Gabriel running down the aisle. Sam's all set to confront him, but then Gabriel's standing in front of him, winded, hands on hips, trying desperately to draw breath. He's run all the way from the parking lot. Sam's heart clenches in his chest.

"This," he says through wheezing breaths, "is Death by Asphyxiation After Running a Marathon Only to Get Shot Down. Rigor mortis has already started to set in. Look, my lips are already blue."

They are. But they warm right back up when Sam kisses them.

Hawaii Five-0; Danny/Steve; Steve is on leave while his ship is at Naval Weapons Station Earle, and gets arrested in an undercover sting operation. By Danny.

Shore Leave: Hawaii Five-0; Danny/Steve; Steve is on leave while his ship is at Naval Weapons Statio

[somehowunbroken]

(Not gonna lie, I'm mostly filling this one because my stepdad works at NWS Earle and it makes me giggle. :D)

His ship is docked at the seaport in Leonardo and he's had his meetings at NWS Earle, and fuck if there's anything else to do in Colts Neck, New Jersey. He's not due back for four days, so Steve asks a few vague questions to people who look like they might give specific answers and comes up with the name of a bar in Asbury Park that has what he's looking for. Steve grabs his overnight and gets a car from the motor pool. It's got GPS in it; he plugs in the address that had been scratched onto the back of a Dunkin Donuts receipt while he and the other guy had chatted about the Devils, and he's there less than twenty minutes later.

Steve drives around a little bit, taking stock of the place. It looks like a dive, which is kind of par for the course, so Steve drives a little bit away and finds a fill station where he can duck in and change into something that will help him achieve his goal for the night.

The inside of the place matches Steve's expectations - the lighting is low in the brightest places, and even after his eyes adjust, he can't see the back from the front. In short, it's perfect.

"Passing through?" the barkeep asks as he makes his way over. Steve nods and gets something that's on draft and cheap; he's not here to impress anyone, he's here to get laid. It doesn't take long for Steve to lock eyes with a guy sitting a few stools down; he's on the short side of short, blonde, but he's got strong-looking shoulders and a wicked look in his eye like he's looking for trouble.

Steve can give him all the trouble he wants.

"Steve," he says as the guy moves to sit next to him.

"Carmen," the guy says. "Buy you another?"

"I'm not really looking to get drunk," Steve says bluntly, resting a hand casually on the back of Carmen's chair. "Interested in anything else?"

Carmen smiles and that dangerous glint flashes again, dark and thrilling, and a smile curves his face. "I could be very interested."

Steve lets his lips curve into a matching smile, and he doesn't try to make it less predatory than it feels. He's got the feeling that Carmen will give as good as he gets. "You wanna?"

Carmen signals to the barkeep, who nods and brings a slip of paper over. Carmen doesn't even look at it as he tosses a credit card at the guy, jerking his head at Steve, and the barkeep disappears as Steve narrows his eyes. "Didn't ask you to buy my drink."

"Two-dollar pint of Coors," Carmen drawls in his easy Jersey accent, rounding consonants to the point of being nearly unrecognizable. "You can make it up to me."

"Sounds promising," Steve says as the barkeep slides the receipt over. Carmen signs it quickly and pockets the card as he stands. He just about comes up to Steve's shoulder. Steve grins. This is going to be fun.

Or not, he thinks as they walk outside, because suddenly Carmen's light hand on his arm turns iron-solid, and there are lights and voices saying freeze, and there are handcuffs and cops shoving him into a squad car and fuck, this is not what Steve had in mind for tonight.

It's a long few hours before things get sorted. Apparently they've been looking for a guy who vaguely matches Steve's description who's also, coincidentally, named Steve, and the guy's some sort of lowlife dealer peddling to kids. Steve's all for them catching Other Steve, now that they've realised they got the wrong one, but right now he's more concerned with making sure the exact details of his sort-of arrest aren't made public, because discretion's the better part of valor and whatever, and there's nothing discreet about being arrested in a gay bar.

Leverage, Eliot/Hardison, high school AU, Eliot always felt protective of him.

[momma-66.livejournal.com]

The first time Eliot saw Alec he was just a turned around new kid who had no idea where he was going and he felt drawn to him. At first he was just watching out for the guy because Parker had a soft spot for him (at least he told himself that so he could sleep at night.) Alec had absolutely no survival instinct and constantly found himself in situations where his fall-back on humor did him no good. Most notably when he got himself cornered by the Sterling twins.

Eliot had pulled Alec out of enough potential bad spots with those two that he'd threaten to beat the shit out of Alec if it happen again. Alec had looked at him for a week after like he was waiting for it to happen. So Eliot apologized and like a spring Alec was back to talking a mile a minute (half the time Eliot was so lost he couldn't keep up) and invading Eliot's personal space when ever he could.

He started to expect something wasn't quite on par about his feelings for Alec when he got jealous of the attention Alec gave Parker. He watched Parker try her hardest and just give up; best friend or not, his thoughts hadn't been appropriate. Alec got nothing more than Parker's best attempt to explain that she worked better when there was a Friend's Only standing. He bounced back though, quickly. Three days of moping around; three days where Eliot wouldn't let Parker any where near Alec and Sophie giggled and gave Eliot looks that said, "I know everything."

Nate tried to broach the subject with him one night while they sipped on stolen beers from Nate's refrigerator. Eliot got belligerent and it ended with him trying to take a swing at Nate. He later defended himself that it was in Alec's honor. He was a sweet kid, a sweet sophomore and Eliot was a lecherous Senior. End. Of. Story.

When Eliot stumbled upon Alec and some geek from the Computers Club under the bleachers; he just wasn't responsible for his actions.

He yanked the kid off of Alec, "What the hell are you doing?" The guy looked like he wanted to piss his pants.

"Eliot? What the hell!?" Alec pulled Eliot away from the geek and he stumbled a few steps back. "Jeez, I'm so so-" Alec started to apologize but the guy cut him off.

"No way. The other guys warned me, I should have listened."

"What, warned you?" But he didn't stick around to answer Alec's confused question. Alec turned on Eliot, and pushed him, "What. The. Hell!"

"I-" Alec hadn't been asking Eliot a question.

"What the hell has gotten into you, El. First you wouldn't let Parker any where near me; then you start glaring at someone if they even look at me!" Alec was pissed. "You've been cock-blocking me for months."

"I-"

"Seriously. If you have a problem with me and guys, or me being with a friend. I get it. I wont broadcast it but you-"

It was Eliot's turn to interrupt Alec. He grabbed the younger teen by the front of his shirt and pulled him close. He planted a quick, wet kiss on Alec's lips. When Eliot pulled back Alec was staring at him open-mouth.

"I'm sorry," Eliot said, finally able to get a word in. "It's just... I feel very protective of you." Alec stared at him silently for a moment before his lips started to twitch, then his cheeks; he tried to muffle the laughter. "What?" Eliot crossed his arms, defensive instincts flaring.

"No," Alec waved his hands, face splitting into a grin. "I'm not, it's not. You'll just make fun of me." Alec's laughter died down and he took a step inside Eliot's personal space. "I can take care of myself, y'know."

"Not from what I've seen," Eliot snorted.

Alec grinned, "Having you at my back made me lazy." He looked from Eliot's eyes to his lips, "Was that an open invitation?" Eliot grabbed him by the of the next and dragged him toward him.

The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon/any MAIN character, Sheldon finally perfects the teleporter--only something goes terribly wrong: He's now a girl.

[indraleigh.livejournal.com]

“I have marked the arrival and departure areas. I have predialed my cell phone to the Nobel Prize Nomination Committee and Leonard's phone to emergency services.” Sheldon spoke gesturing to the taped off squares on opposite ends of the apartment's floor and cell phones on the kitchen island. “I will step into the departure square, toggle the initialization switch and then be teleported to the arrival square. Then we shall debate upon order of who will next be teleported and who will notify the nomination committee.”

As Sheldon determined the center of the departure square Penny, Leonard, Howard, and Raj continued to eat out of the boxes of thai food while standing around the kitchen island because Sheldon had cleared the apartment between the two squares leaving small squares of a marking tape on the floor to insure proper furniture replacement.

“I am now throwing the switch. Oh I should have set up a camera to record this, but it's too late now.” Sheldon said as he sort of shimmered to invisible. Almost a minute later the shimmer appeared revealing Sheldon in the arrival square.

Female Sheldon. Tall, slender, hair with a suggestion of wave, defined cheekbones, and breasts all in a Green Lantern t-shirt.

“Oh My.” Howard is the first to react in any way. “Girl Sheldon is hot.”

After Raj whispers in to Penny's ear in shock Leonard says. “Howard you really will hit on anything female.”

Doubly shocked with Sheldon's trip across the room and Raj talking to her, even if it was an accident, Penny called to Sheldon. “Congratulations. The transporter worked. Who do you want me to call first? The nominating committee or emergency services?”

Taking a long look at the arrival and departure squares, the teleportation machine, and his now clearly female body, Sheldon slowly said, “I'm thinking.”

Fill-- Poignant

[ahavaelwilhouse.livejournal.com]

Giles and Bobby were the odd couple of their social circle. Giles was mild mannered, a librarian. Bobby was a trucker, always gone for days on end. But they all knew Giles loved Bobby no matter whee he was, what he was doing, or why he was doing it.

"Giles?" Bobby asked. "Babe, I'm coming back. I would never leave you."

"I know, darling. But... Seven months?" Giles let a single tear roll from his blue eyes.

"I'll miss you."

"I know you will, Bobby. I'll miss you too."

The two men hugged and exchaned a sweet kiss.

"Goodbye, Bobby."

"Bye, Giles."

DCU, Barbara Gordon/Dick Grayson, Dick is a detective and Babs is a csi, together they have to work to solve a case

question, not a fill..

[quitehopeless.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about filling this, but I hesitate a bit because I'm not sure I have enough of a handle on these two, much as I love them, and also because I never got into any of the CSI series. However, I did love NCIS in its early days, and I could see Babs like Abby and Dick like Tony, and that I could write. So if you didn't mind that, I could fill it like that. Would that be acceptable?

SPN, Dean/Castiel, Space Pirates

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

They hadn't always been this way. A long time ago Dean had been the good little soldier, and as for Castiel, he'd been a man of the cloth. He still was, at least technically, but there wasn't a soul in space who thought that of him now. At least not a church-supported soul. And the church was what ran things, even if the federation said it was tolerant of all faiths. Separation of church and fed? Cas said it was his favorite laugh line at parties.

Woe unto the missionary ship that passed in the inky darkness within range of their speedy little vessel. Dean steered her like he was riding a great big fish, swimming across the vacuum and glittering against the backdrop of stars. Castiel led the charge, guns blazing, and for what it's worth he apologizes as they rifle through the great storerooms in the bottom of the ships and pull out all kinds of relics and artifacts and pieces of the assorted wealth of the church. They like the idea that piece by piece they're dismantling what the bastards running the show have put together one by one.

They fence the riches but not the relics; those they destroy or debase as best they can. Sometimes crushing them, sometimes riddling them with holes. But sometimes Dean holds on to the sacred bricks of Jerusalem while Cas fucks him hard and long; sometimes they fall down wrapped in the sacred garments of Venus and make love beneath the goddess' raiment. Afterward, they'll laugh about how in a universe beneath the thumb of a bizarre hybrid bastard of a religion, they're the only ones who really get what it's all about.

Dean knows this isn't his Cas but it's close enough for him

If you can't be

[gilesbabe.livejournal.com]

Dean lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Another motel, another sleepless night. He still felt bad about leaving Lisa and Ben, but he didn't belong in that life. Unbidden, his thought turned to missed opportunities.

Dean frowned. The ceiling seemed to be rippling. He didn't have time to react before a body fell through the dark circle that flickered into and out of existance. A body that fell on him.

"Oof!" Dean gasped and stared at the dark hair in front of his face. The familair dark hair. "Cas?"

The head jerked up and he was caught in a bright blue gaze. "Dean!" Castiel slid up Dean's body and took his mouth in a hungry kiss.

Dean automatically responded for a moment, then jerked back. "Dude, what the hell?"

Castiel gripped his face and stared deeply into his eyes. He pulled away and got off the bed. Dean sat up. "Cas," he started, then stopped when Castiel lifted a hand and Dean found he could no longer make a sound. Castiel spread his arms wide and Dean could feel the power flowing in the room. The lights flashed, and for a moment Dean could see Castiel's wings, then the lights blew. Castiel seemed to glow for a moment, then his arms dropped.

"Damn them, damn them to perdition." He started pacing again.

There was enough light coming in through the thin curtins that Dean noticed something that he hadn't before. Castiel wasn't wearing his trench coat. He wasn't wearing Jimmy's rumpled suit either. He was dressed all in black. Dean watched the lithe body move, remembered the kiss, and took a deep breath. 'Down boy' he told himself. He cleared his throat. "Cas?"

Castiel turned to look at him. He waved a hand and the lights were fixed. He stared at Dean. "Where is he?"

"Pardon?"

"This dimensions version of me. Where is he, why isn't he here with you?"

Dean looked away. "Cas is back in heaven. He's in charge now."

Castiel looked shocked. "In charge?"

"Yeah, after we put Luci back in his cage, God gave Cas an upgrade. He's an archangel and he's in charge."

"But what about Michael?"

"Mike's in the cage with Luci, Gabriel's dead and the last we knew Ralph was still stuck in a ring of holy oil fire. He figured that God gave him the upgrade because he approved of Cas' helping us, so he went to be the new sheriff."

Castiel still looked stunned. "He left you to be in charge of those dicks in heaven? He's an idiot."

Dean frowned. "Wait a minute, you said this dimension. You're from another dimension? How did you get here, and how do you get back?"

Castiel growled. "I am here because Michael and Ralphael sent me here to keep me from being with Dean. And when I find a way home, they will pay." He started pacing again, but stopped after one turn of the room.

"You stopped Luicfer? The apocalypse is over?"

"Yeah."

Castiel came and sat on the bed. "Until I find a way home, I want to stay with you. You can tell me all about how you defeated Lucifer and perhaps we can use the information in our battle." He leaned closer.

Dean leaned back. "Dude, personal space."

Castiel moved quickly, pinning Dean beneath him on the bed. "Dean," he growled softly, "I can read your mind. You want this. You want me, just the same as my Dean wanted me. We've been together for over a year."

Dean swallowed. "Yes, I want Castiel. But you're not him."

"I am him, just a him with slightly different experiences, and a lot more sense. I know a good thing when I see it, and I'm not afraid to say so."

"And one day you'll find a way back to your Dean, and I'll be alone again."

"Do you really want me to stop? Do you really want another lost chance. Yes, I will leave one day, but until then we can have each other." He leaned down and kissed Dean again, rocking his erection against Dean's thigh.

Dean remains unresponsive for a moment, then grabs the back of Castiel's neck deepening the kiss. Dean knows this isn't his Cas, but it's close enough for him.
