Wednesday: Alternate Universes

[4bdnsn0wflake.livejournal.com]

Happy Hump Day! 4bdnsn0wflake here again, bringing you a new theme.

And that theme is Alternate Universes, or AUs.

This is a classic, so I think y’all know what to do. Let your imaginations run wild, and take your favorite characters to new and wonderful (or not so wonderful) places!

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...

+ Lucifer (TV), Lucifer Morningstar + Chloe Decker + any, Lucifer is a mob boss, and Chloe is the cop determined to bring him down

+ MCU, the Avengers, they are a theater troop making their debut on Broadway

+ One Direction RPF, Harry Styles+/any, pirate AU

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 2018 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.

Lucifer (TV), Lucifer Morningstar + Chloe Decker + any, Lucifer is a mob boss, and Chloe is the cop determined to bring him down

Fill: Lucifer - Lucifer Morningstar + Chloe Decker - Criminal Activities

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Detective Chloe Decker hated crime and more than that or maybe as an extension of that she hated criminals. Not the little guys who sold some weed to supplement their income or their habit, but the big fish. The ones who sat at the top of an ivory tower built by exploiting others so their lily white hands were kept clean of the day to day dirt.

This was why she was determined to bring Lucifer Morningstar to justice. Thus far he had proven himself to be coated in a teflon that allowed criminal charges to slide off of him, but Chloe was nothing if not determined. She would find something, some weakness that she could use to her advantage and no matter how look it took she would see cuffed and behind bars for longer than it took to make a call to his lawyer.

One Direction RPF, Harry Styles+/any, pirate AU

Fill: One Direction - Harry Styles - Hacktavist

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

This went more hacktavist than software pirate, but hopefully it still works.

Harry leaned back and ran a hand through his unruly curls before rolling his shoulders to work out the kinks in his neck and back. Spending hours bent over a keyboard was doing a number on him. But, it was all for a good cause and in the end that was what mattered. At least he’d had time to put the finishing touches on the keystroke logger program he had been working on. Just in time too because tomorrow he was scheduled to tour the office of an agent who was know to prey on underage girls. Promising to help them break into the music business and then, when he was done with them forcing them into sex work.

Once Harry had access to the man’s computer and personal files it would just be a matter of making sure they ended up in the right hands. The law and the public shaming would do the rest. Harry and his bandmates had been lucky. They all had parents who were very actively involved in their careers and had kept the predators at bay. But, that didn't mean he hadn't seen the damage first hand in so many people he knew and performed with.

He stood, rolling his shoulders and starting the process that helped him to make the mental shift from anonymous hacker slash do gooder to pop star whose whole life was an open book.

A glossy paged book that could be purchased at the merchandise stand for a small fee.

It amused Harry to the depths of his soul that so many people thought they knew all there was to know about him when in reality no one really did. Not his fans, not his friends, not his family, and definitely not his contacts in law enforcement and journalism. No one but Harry himself.

His hacking was a way of doing good in the world beyond what his money could pay for. Something that did not have his name attached it so it carried no built in weight or censure. In a small way it allowed Harry, the very public commodity, to maintain a part of himself that belonged only him alone.

Shadowhunters, Magnus Bane+/any, he is a fortune teller in a traveling carnival

Fill: Shadowhunters - Magnus Bane - Look to The Future

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Magnus flicked his hand causing his ruffled sleeves to bounce. Flashing his famous slick smile he reached across the table and took the hand of a nervous looking young woman. The table was draped with colorful scarves and an assortment of fortune telling paraphernalia.

"Welcome my dear. What can I help you with today?"

"Uh." The woman shifted nervously. "Well..."

Magnus smiled again. "A man is it?"

She nodded, blushing shyly.

"Do you want to if he desires you? If you have a chance?"

"Yes, please."

Making a big show of studying her palm he noted that she had the slightest, shortest love line he had ever seen. Her life line was so short he was amazed she was actually still breathing and sitting across from him.

Schooling his face into his usual bright smile he lifted his eyes to meet her expectant gaze.

"I see a long and happy life. Children, a boy and a girl, and a loving husband. Someone you know now, but not well."

The woman bit her lip, disappointment and excitement flashing across her face. "So, not Alex then, but someone else."

Gently she pulled her hand away then deposited several bills on the table, the amount adding up to more than twice his usual fee. When he tried to hand the extra back she shook her head, smiling. "No, please keep it. You've given me hope and that is worth more than money."

She exited the tent, flashing him one more shy smile leaving Magnus wondering whether he had done a great kindness or evil.

“Unscheduled offworld activation,” Pepper said.

Fury strode into the control room, watched a wormhole initiate. Pepper pressed a button, and the iris closed over the event horizon.

“SG-1 isn’t due for check-in for another four hours,” he said.

Pepper scanned the monitors. “Incoming IDC. Rogers.”

“Open the iris,” Fury said.

Pepper obeyed, and SG-1 came spilling into the gate room, firing madly behind them as chitauri blaster fire followed them.

“Shut it down!” Captain Rogers yelled.

Pepper obeyed.

The wormhole vanished, and that was the last of the alien blaster fire.

Fury leaned in to the mic. “Welcome back, SG-1.”

“Those people weren’t very welcoming,” Dr. Stark said, grumbling.

“That planet was populated by Chitauri worshippers.” Thor’s expression was, well, thunderous.

“But I think we got what we went for.” Romanov held up a metal case.

“Excellent. Debrief in thirty,” Fury said, and headed back into his office.

Stark was always the first changed into house BDUs after a mission, and he swung by the control room to flirt with Pepper.

“Hey, Pepper.”

“Dr. Stark,” she said easily.

He made a face. “Call me Tony.”

“I hadn’t planned on calling you,” she said.

He looked startled for a moment, then laughed. “You’re funny.”

“General Fury will expect an AAR soon after debrief. You might want to get started on that,” Pepper said.

“But you’re no fun.” Stark rolled his eyes.

“Hey, Doc,” Rogers said. “Have you seen Bucky?”

Captain Barnes as the CO of SG-2, an all-Marine team.

“Last I heard, he was in the mess hall with Captain Wilson,” Pepper said.

Rogers smiled at her. “Thanks.” He waved and departed.

“Dr. Strange wants to see you for your post-mission physical,” Pepper reminded Stark. “And also I think Dr. Banner had a question about that naquadah generator design you submitted yesterday.”

Stark patted her on the shoulder. “What would this place do without you?”

“Fall apart,” she said.

Stark looked at her for a long moment. “Marry me.”

“Debrief in eighteen minutes, Dr. Stark.”

He sighed and stood. “One day I’ll convince you.”

She eyed him but said nothing, and he finally left.

“For reals?” Romanov asked.

“Five bucks says Dr. Strange has him in bed by the end of the week,” Pepper said.

Romanov grinned. “Make it fifty.”

Thor, who was surprisingly sneaky for a giant Asgardian, said, “Make it a hundred.”
