comment_ficHey all! I'm stepping in briefly to cover today's theme, and today it's crossovers.
The theme's as straightforward as it sounds. Format wise, you can prompt for a crossover as per usual, or you can make one of the fandoms the prompt itself. (See below.) Fusions are also welcome!
The usual rules apply, of course.
No spoilers in the prompt itself for at least one week after publication/air date.
If there are spoilers in your story, you must warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces.
No more than 5 prompts in a row. No more than 3 prompts per fandom. But because today's theme is a little more restrictive, I'm going to clarify that a little for today only, as crossovers usually qualify as a fandom for those purposes. No more than 3 prompts per each fandom in the crossover group.
(For example, if you have SG1/Firefly, SG1/X-Files, and SG1/Warehouse 13, you have used SG1 3 times, and cannot leave another prompt with SG1 until one of your prompts is answered.)
For the sanity of our diligent code monkeys, please remember to format your prompts correctly. Examples:
Leverage, Parker, Warehouse 13
Firefly/RPS, Wash/Pauley Perrette, all pilots are crazy
Nothing biting? Feel free to take a peek at our Lonely Prompts.
(Speaking of which, just to clarify - not all the completed prompts were in yesterday's post. I've got monkeys on vacation and various pinch hitters. I should have more for you after Wednesday! So sorry for the confusion!)
Ready? All right, let's go!

Date: 2009-08-25 09:00 am (UTC)Dean was sitting at the bar drinking. It was a rare occasion for him to go drinking after the Pulse, not because it had become expensive or that he was too old to enjoy it anymore, but because he wasn’t depressed. No one seemed to be, well, everywhere he went anyway. There were a few, but not many. He guessed in a way, everyone knew in a small way that some evil had been lifted from the world. Lucifer was dead and he wasn’t coming back. Sure, there was still corruption and evil, but none of it was apocalypse worthy that Dean was sure of.
The man next to him seemed to be drinking from depression. His hoodie raised high over his head and his shoulders bent forward as he nursed his drink. The man pulled back his hood, seemingly unaware of Dean sitting next to him. He looked exactly like Dean, except younger, so that ruled out shapeshifter.
“Hey, kid,” Dean said to him.
“I’m not a kid, old man,” he said taking a sip of his drink.
“Doesn’t change the fact that you look like me.” Dean remembered another kid that had looked liked him a long time ago. “Is your name Ben?”
He stiffened and tensed up, “Why does everyone think that? I’m Alec! ALEC! I’m not some psycho serial killer! Maybe I boosted a few things, but I’m not on his level!”
“You sure are riding the crazy train, huh?”
“Damn it. You wouldn’t understand.”
“Try me.”
“Okay, I was created by the government to be a super assassin. On my last job, I fell in love with the girl I was supposed to kill. I tried to stop it, but she ended up dying anyway. And Ben, my clone, went on a murdering spree taking people’s teeth and leaving them on altars. After that, I was released out in the world and the only people that will talk to me can’t stand me.”
“Sounds like you need another round of drinks.”
“You believe me?”
“Kid, I’ve seen stranger things than you.”
“Like what?”
“I was at ground zero when the ‘Pulse’ went off and trust me, it was no terrorist group.”
“What was it then?”
“Would you believe Lucifer?”
Alec laughed, “You’re the one who’s crazy.”
“Maybe. Or maybe I just hunt evil sons of bitches for a living. Look, Alec, I’m getting old. No two ways about it. Honestly? I never thought I would make it to be thirty let alone forty. I have a legacy, a huge one, and I need someone a lot younger than me to fill it.”
“So what are you suggesting?”
“You come with me and my brother, pick up a few things about hunting, and follow in my footsteps.”
“I don’t even know your name or anything about you.”
“I’m Dean. A little bird told me I’d find you,” Dean laughed as if it was a joke and Alec looked at him confused. “Prophecy or something about a lonely warrior, you’ll find that supernatural creatures enjoy being cryptic.”
“I’m not lonely,” Alec insisted.
“Here,” Dean said writing his number on a cocktail napkin. “If you find you’re a little lonelier than you think you ought to be, then give me a call.”
Dean finished his drink, clasped Alec on the shoulder once, and left. Alec stared at the number and considered throwing it away, instead he pocketed it. He returned to his drink and thought about Dean’s offer. Maybe he’d take him up on it. There was really nothing for him here.
