WACKY WEDNESDAY: Alternate Universe

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m hanorganaas and today's theme is Alternate Universe. It could be an AU fandom Fusion, something from Canon being Diverged like a character lived, or just a mundane AU. Have fun

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Star Wars, Han Solo/Leia Organa, Agents of SHIELD AU
+ Agents of SHIELD, Phil Coulson/Melinda May, Teacher!Coulson and Hydra!May hook up in the framework
+ Star Wars: Rogue One, Any, In which everyone made it out to be in the original triology
+ Stargate Atlantis, Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard, Elizabeth's the President and John's her first Laddie
+ Star Wars, Armitage Hux/Kylo Ren, Smuggler!Ben Solo who wanted nothing to do with his mother's resistance, accidently falls in when he rescues Prominant Resistance Memember Armitage Hux.

We use AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2017 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

(Set within my Indiana Barton Universe)

Indy was on the run, but then what was new? He'd learned quickly that being an archaeologist meant being part academic and part hardened adventurer. Mostly though it meant running, so much fucking running; from rivals, pissed off natives. On the other hand the giant serpent with venom dripping from its fangs was new. Totally unexpected or wanted, but new.

He was probably going to be traumatized by this if he survived. He'd cross that bridge when he got to it. Speaking of bridges, apparently the one he'd crossed over to get to the snake god's hidden temple had disappeared. Of fucking course because the universe was a firm believer in regular reminders of how much it hated Indy.

Fortunately there were some handy vines. He had no idea if they would hold his weight or actually work the way books had led him to believe, but a tumble down into an ice cold, rock filled, shallow river seemed preferable to being snake food. At least it should be quicker.

The only thing to do was to grab on, run, jump, and trust that the universe wasn't through messing with him.

"Hey, Mitchell, how goes your pursuit of your Great White Whale?" John poked his head into Cam's office.

Cam had an array of paintings on easels along one wall and was studying them critically. "Evan Lorne is a sneaky, sneaky bastard, but I think we're getting close."

"You mean Ford ran into him at an art show and was so charmed he gave the guy his phone number before Lorne walked off with a Rembrandt?"

Cam grimaced. "You heard about that?"

"I lost twenty bucks over that." John hung his head in mock-shame.

"What about you? You found the Great 1968?"

John frowned. "No. But they're sending me some new people to help out - a cryptologist named Jackson and a hacker named Carter."

"Markham and Stackhouse not working out?"

"They're good guys, good field agents, but they don't speak Geek like I need," John said. "You should have seen the looks on their faces when I knew that the Unsub's username is combined with Newton's birth year, Einstein's birth year, his own birth year, and 42."

"The answer to life, the universe, and everything," Cam said wisely.

"That's what I said. They looked at me like I was crazy." John scrubbed a hand over his face. "Good luck with the con man of the century."

"The millennium," Cam grumbled. "Good luck with your Ghost in the Shell."

John smiled. "Thanks." And he headed into his office.

"Your hacker is a cat person," a man said.

John came up short.

There was a man dressed like a professor two decades his senior - lots and lots of tweed - sitting at John's desk and squinting at a computer printout.

"Pardon?"

"Daniel Jackson," the man said. "This piece of scrap code that no one knows the purpose of? Not code. It's an emoticon of a cat."

"Oh. That's - new."

"So we've narrowed it down to people born in 1968 who love cats, and whose native language is English," Daniel said.

"English?" John raised his eyebrows.

"Yes. There are better cat emoticons to be had using characters from non-Latin alphabets." Daniel lifted his head, pushed his glasses up his nose. "You must be John Sheppard. Sam's right behind me."

"That's good. Right. Carter. Sam. What's he like?"

"She is a timely person."

John spun around.

The woman in the doorway had blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and was sexy as hell. She was also wearing sensible flats and carried herself the way Teyla did, and John knew she could probably kick his ass in hand-to-hand.

"Excellent, Agent Carter. There's a Captain America joke somewhere in there."

Sam grinned. "Yes there is. What else have you got, Daniel?"

"I don't think he's American," Daniel said.

"What makes you say that?"

"This Maple Leaf emoticon over here."

"Why are you so good at emoticons?" John asked. Was Daniel some kind of socially awkward anime junkie?

"I'm an anthropologist and linguist by trade," Daniel said. "I'm used to studying cultures. And I learned a lot about geek culture, being friends with Sam all through college."

"You saying I'm a geek?" Sam asked, though fondly instead of with challenge.

"Yes." Daniel smiled at her. "So, who wants to hack Canada?"

"I've always found stereotypes about polite Canadians overrated," Sam said.

"This guy is anything but polite," John said. "He bulldozes over everyone and everything in his path."

"Then let's do it."

Rodney stepped out of the petshop, Kelvin curled in his arms, trying to juggle the bag of organic cat food and the bag of new cat toys. Moving to a new city every few months meant constantly having to restock on feline supplies.

"Hey, you need a hand?"

Rodney looked up, surprised. The man standing in front of him was gorgeous - lean hips, spiky dark hair, bright eyes - and had a large cat curled across his shoulders. He had a small shopping bag in hand.

"Sure," Rodney said. "Thanks."

"You new here? I've never seen you around this spot before. I'm John."

"Rodney. Just moved here."

"Well, you found the best pet store in town. This is Abydos, by the way. He insists on coming to the store with me. Who's your fellow?" John accepted one of the bags Rodney handed him.

"This is Kelvin."

"Hi, Kelvin." John reached out, and Kelvin headbutted his hand affectionately.

John was attractive and a cat person. Moving to New York had been a good idea after all.

Warehouse 13, Steve Jinks/Joshua Donovan + Claudia Donovan, band!AU, in which Claudia is the lead singer, Steve is the guitarist, and Joshua might have a crush

Fill: Warehouse 13 - Steve Jinks/Joshua Donovan + Claudia Donovan - Welcome To The Family

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Joshua sat in the back of the club, his chin resting on his fist as he watched his sister's band The Warehouse setting up. Supposedly he was there to observe Claudia and give her tips on how to improve her performance, but his gaze kept straying to Steve, the guitar player and Claudia's best friend.

There was something about him that was almost mesmerizing, a kind of zen that countered Claudia's almost frantic nervous energy. It was relaxing and Joshua could feel himself stilling as well. That was until Steve starting playing riffs to warm up. His fingers danced over the strings, pulling sounds from it that Joshua would have thought were impossible.

It was impressive and Joshua found himself being pulled toward Steve in an almost physical sense. Maybe it was time to visit practice like Claudia had been nagging him to do.
