Tuesday - AU

[chibifukurou]

Hi everyone! I’m chibifukurou and I’m still here enabling your comment_fic addiction this week.

Today’s theme is AU. Today all the prompts have to involve an AU of some sort.  Whether it be fusions or Universes with minor differences, anything goes as far as fandoms and pairings are concerned.

The Rules:

■        Don’t prompt more than 5 prompts in a row or 3 prompts per fandom. When someone has answered your prompt, you can prompt again.

■        No spoilers in your prompt until at least 1 week after the original airing or publication date. If there are spoilers in your fic, you must warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces.

■        Thank your fic providers they thrive on feedback.

■        For the sake of the code monkeys’ sanity remember to format your prompts correctly.

Formatting examples:
Fandom, Character, prompt
Fandom, Character/Character, prompt
Fandom/Fandom, Character(s), prompt

None of today's prompts interest you? Make someone’s day and answer one of the myriad of Lonely prompts!

Little Red Riding Hood, Take Two

[rattyjol.livejournal.com]

"Go to your grandmother's," her mother says, pressing a satchel of precious meds into her hands. "Make sure she's okay, and give her this."

She nods, and pulls on her cloak (red -- a disguise, a hiding place, so They won't see her against the bloodstained earth), and sets out across the barren land.

There once was a forest here, her grandmother used to tell her. Long ago, before the rivers ran red and became veins threading throughout the land, there were trees and birds and the color green.

What is green? she asked once. She still hasn't gotten an answer.

She imagines growls behind her, echoing off the crimson rock, and pulls up her hood. She has never seen one of Them, the Beasts that are said to haunt the Redlands. No one her age has, but her mother did once, as a little girl, and her grandmother still won't speak of the things she's seen.

She sees a shadow, curled under the overhang of a red rock shelf, and thinks boldly: How frightening can it be? Tucking the meds further beneath her cloak, she goes to look.

At first she thinks it's wearing a blanket, draped over itself like skin. It's only when it turns its head to look at her that she realizes it has fur, a deep, dark red like the furthest shadows in rock. It blinks slowly up at her and a startled noise flies, unbidden, from her throat.

"Your eyes," she says, and the Beast tilts its head. "What color are they?" She has no name for it, only that it's cool and light and so different from all the burning red that sprawls around her.

"Have you never seen green?" the Beast asks, showing long white teeth.

"So this is green!" she marvels, and forgets to be afraid.

She never does make it to her grandmother's house that day, but that's all right -- she'll have a whole new set of stories to tell her grandmother tomorrow.

Any, any, deserted island + volleyball companion AU

The Ramayana AU, 1/2

[odette-river.livejournal.com]

She names the volleyball Ravana. She isn't sure where the name came from; it was just there in her head one day, like it had snuck up on her from the forest, running over those few yards of sand dunes and jumping into her mind, catching her unaware. It's as good a name as any, she thinks. She likes the way it feels on her tongue—strong, exotic.

“You're no replacement for him,” she warns Ravana. “You're no replacement for anyone.”

Then she mounds up some sand into a tower and places the ball on top of it so that they can sit and watch her fire together.





It's supposed to be a signal fire for Rama. She read about signal fires once in a book. If you're stuck on a desert island, one of your best chances for rescue is to build a fire—with a fire you have smoke and you have light and then hopefully, hopefully someone will find you.

“Rama will come for me,” she tells Ravana.

She used to read a lot, maybe too much. She can't remember what else that book said about desert islands. Every time she eats anything she thinks she is about to die. She could be poisoning herself and not even know it.





She stopped reading once she married Rama, because you can't bring a lot of books on a boat, even if you're living on that boat. And she was living on that boat, because Rama was living on that boat, studying ocean currents because his little brother had asked him to. Actually, his littler brother had said, “I need you to stop hovering. I need space to do my own work. I can't think.”

So Rama had said, “Okay,” and taken her with him and off they'd sailed.

She didn't even know if he liked studying ocean currents, but his brother had a lot to deal with, and Rama wanted to do whatever he could.

So she'd given up reading, because the boat was too small for books, just big enough for her and Rama and Lakshmana, who'd come too because he wanted to help Rama. Maybe he was the one who liked ocean currents.





Now she's given up a lot of things, things like popcorn and sunscreen, but also things like clothing and properly clean hair. The endless stretch of salt water in front of her, separating her from the rest of the world, has made both of those things impossible. She finally gave up on the last few shreds of her clothes a week ago. (She still keeps a meticulous count of the days—scratching the, on pieces of bark from logs that she's burned, sometimes writing them down her forearm with mud.) She stripped her clothes off and donated them to Ravana, draping them over his sand-throne. He's a lot less rough on her clothes than she was.

At first, her nakedness embarrassed her, and she told Ravana not to look, even turned his face down to the ground for half a day, but now she's gotten used to it. She suspects that he was peeking the whole time anyway.





She suspects a lot of things about Ravana. He doesn't seem like he's being completely honest.

“I'm not going to stay with you forever,” she says. “I'm just waiting for Rama, and he'll take me away.”

Ravana just stares into the fire. He looks annoyed.

“I already told you,” she says. “You can't replace Rama. No one can replace Rama.”

She has to walk away after that because she's afraid Ravana is going to to start yelling at her. He wants things that she can't give.

Star Wars, any, medieval AU

[love-evil.livejournal.com]

Avengers movieverse, Tony/+Loki, Instead of becoming a supervillain when he fell to Earth Loki somehow ended up as Tony Stark's personal assistant.

FILL: Tony's New Assistant, part 1, Pepper's POV

[marbleglove.livejournal.com]

The first time Pepper met Tony’s new assistant, it was by phone.

She had called Tony to remind him of the board meeting and to demand/beg/bribe/threaten him to show up. Instead of reaching Tony, though, she found herself speaking to a rather gorgeous (of course) androgynous face with cheekbones to die for, wearing a green t-shirt (a t-shirt!) that really brought out his (her?) eyes. Who answered the phone with, “What do you want?”

She had wondered how Tony would manage to kick his conquests out of the house after he was done with them without her to do it, but she had always assumed that he would manage. She gave this one a tight smile. “Can you please put Tony on the line.”

“No.”

She glared. He (she was pretty sure the person was male at this point) looked bored. (God, she hoped he was over eighteen. It had never been a concern before, but this person looked and acted like a teenager.)

“I’m Pepper Potts, the CEO of Stark Industries, calling about a professional matter. Put Tony on the line.”

“And I’m Loptr, his assistant. If I think the message is important, I might decide to tell him.”

After a moment, Pepper decided that while she had never done anything in her life to make her deserve having to put up with this, Tony certainly had done plenty for him to deserve it. She would let him deal with it.

“The board meeting is this afternoon at 2 PM. Please let him know that I expect him to be there.”

“Is it?” And suddenly the guy looked very interested, with a sharp smile on his face. “E-mail me the board packet.”

She raised an eyebrow at that command, but thought she’d go ahead and see what happened. A few keystrokes and “It’s in his in-box.” If this guy really was Tony’s assistant, he’d be able to access it there. If he wasn’t, then he wouldn’t.

He typed a few keystrokes on his end, and apparently he really was Tony’s assistant. “Interesting. I’ll be there with Tony at 2.”

And he hung up.

Tony not only attended the board meeting that afternoon but he paid attention through the whole thing, with Mr. Loptr Laufeyson sitting quietly in a chair at the back of the room, taking notes.

She decided that she was impressed.
