Twisted Tuesday: Darkfic

[with-rainfall.livejournal.com]

A dreadful morning to you, comment_ficcers! Today's theme is darkfic. Now, I don't stick to the fanlore definition, which is that darkfic must involve violence only. To me, darkfic's also about exploring the darker side of human nature in all its forms, be that malice, rage, addiction, terror, vengeance, murderous impulses, lust for power, or cruelty. The fandom's good guys might be nice people usually, but what gets them out of control? Of course, this is also your chance to give the villains a say in the piece.

But darkfic need not be caused by other characters. What happens when magic or technology take on a life of their own and begin to seek control over their wielders? Or when a catastrophe or trauma turns a character dark?

The rules still haven't changed:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
No spoilers in prompts.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space.

Prompts should be formatted as follows:
Fandom, Character+/Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Dumbing of Age, Sal, she didn't reform after the convenience store
+ Any, any, there is an apocalypse, and a character's worst side comes out in their fight for survival.
+ Animorphs, Tobias, seeking vengeance on his aunt and uncle

MCU (Iron Man 'verse), JARVIS, Tony makes a lot of 2001: A Space Odyssey jokes, but JARVIS is closer to being HAL than anyone realises



(Oh, yeah. I went *there*)

Assassin's Creed (Ezio Trilogy), Desmond/Shaun, nobody expects Shaun to be the one who knows how to lift a corpse and clean up bloodstains...

Disney, any villain, although they often lack one of these, put malice, intent and competence together and you get a heady and dangerous mixture.

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, team, they aren’t exactly nice people; they all have body counts in the double (triple) digits

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

The Musketeers, any(/any or OT3 or 4), a slippery slope leading to deep, murky waters

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, Loki + Thor,


If I spilled my guts
The world would never look at you the same way
And now I'm here to give you all my love
So I can watch your face as I take it all away

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, Loki,



I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to drag you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

Tortall, any mage, "Magic is a tool or a weapon. Like a pitchfork or a sword, it can be turned by its user to either a benevolent or malevolent purpose." (Or: let's see a mage unleash the dark side of their Gift!)

No fill (yet)

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

I want to re-watch that, but I have to go to (I) bed and (ii) an MRI. Might get around to it late in the week, though. I love the idea of dark!Pepper.

Leverage, Eliot+/Parker+/Hardison, They don't know the tightrope he walks, and how easy it would be for him to just slip off.

[radondoran.livejournal.com]

Wander Over Yonder, Sylvia & Wander, post-"The Bad Guy": it's a little scary just how well Wander played the villainous part

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Person of Interest, Reese/Finch, they shouldn't have taken Finch

[jaq-of-spades.livejournal.com]

Revolution, Charlie Matheson, they reek of death and sex

[jaq-of-spades.livejournal.com]

[jaq-of-spades.livejournal.com]

Revolution, Miles Matheson, fucking people over seems to be his speciality

[daria234.livejournal.com]

Arrow, Slade/Oliver, Slade decides to keep Oliver as a plaything to hurt whenever he feels like it - it goes on for months and months

[daria234.livejournal.com]

Agents of SHIELD, Fitz/or&Ward or Fitz/Simmons/Ward, there are some things so unethical that even Ward won't do to them, even to complete the mission - but Fitz will.

[daria234.livejournal.com]

Almost Human, John/or&Dorian, they go undercover on the other side of the Wall, and they never talk about all the things they do to survive (things they wouldn't have thought themselves morally capable of)

[daria234.livejournal.com]

Chuck, Chuck/Bryce, Bryce really is a rogue agent and a bad guy, but he's still in love with Chuck and wants to help him -- Bryce just doesn't care about anyone else

Trigger warnings for noncon, totally unrealistic responses to kidnapping



Avengers, Clint/Natasha/any or Bucky/any/Steve or any/any/Tony, AU where the first two characters are a couple who go on kidnapping sprees and psychologically torture and physically hurt and sexually toy with their victims for days and then let them go; the third character is their victim but ends up wanting to stay with them

[marlex.livejournal.com]

NCIS, Abby(+/Tim), She always bragged she could kill someone and leave no forensic trace. Now is the time to prove it.

[marlex.livejournal.com]

Despicable Me, Gru + Agnes, (AU future in which Gru stays a villain) Of his three girls, Gru would never have thought Agnes would become the most successful, and scary, villain.
