Prompt meme!

Shamelessly stolen from de_nugis.

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I will give you 1-3 sentences (or more) from or about it.

I haven't been writing much (apart from my summergen, which keeps getting longer on me and is giving me terrible trouble and I am worried my recipient will hate it and oh God... anyway), so this feels like a fun way to get back into the swing of things.

All my fandoms are fair game. That's Supernatural, H50, Leverage, White Collar, Avengers (and all related Marvel movies that I've seen), and if you know I watch a TV show but haven't written anything for it yet and feel like taking a chance, you should go for it. (Ones that spring to mind are Person of Interest and Teen Wolf, among others.)

*peeks in*

It's so nice to see you here, I miss your fic very much--I understand RL, etc.--just wanted you to know you're missed. :-)

I'll try this?

A story you haven't written--something in your Fusion 'verse, which I love so very much.

Something appropriate for our 4th of July. The time Dean and Cas had to help Peri and Sam deal with an overenthusiastic 4th of July celebration of fireworks...

Thank you. If you write for this, I'll just squee myself to death. :-)

Dean honestly thought that it would be Sam who'd have trouble today. All the crowds combined with weird smells and getting jostled from all sides, combined with the bright lights and loud noises... it should have been a recipe for disaster.

Except that Sam is coping just fine, sitting cross-legged on the floor playing a game of Go Fish! with Cas and laughingly accusing him of cheating while Cas points out that, as there are no actual fish present, the game is something of a misnomer.

Instead, Dean has found himself with an armful of very distraught dog. Perry is whining and wriggling and licking at his face because, as it turns out, no matter how well you train your service dog, it turns out that nothing you do will prepare you for finding out that your dog is terrified of fireworks.

Next year, Dean vows, they'll go on a trip somewhere there aren't any fireworks at all. It'll be better for his nerves.

You haven't written the Fusion 'verse fic where they first get the cat!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Actually, that one is half written. Oops?

+++


Of all the things Dean considered Sam might be hiding from him, this hadn't even made it on the list. Cas is sitting on the first step at the top of the cellar stairs, looking smug, damn him, because of course he was the one to tell Dean that Sam being all shifty wasn't anything to worry about. The thing is, Dean is a worrier, always has been, and he wasn't about to take Cas' word for it that everything was fine, not with Sam acting all cagey and skulking around without telling Dean what he was up to.

Sam is looking at him expectantly now, all big blue eyes and trembly lower lip, clutching the tiny grey bundle to his chest as though Dean might just snatch it away and toss it outside into the nearest snow drift. Because of course Dean is just the sort of guy to go around murdering kittens.

What about the time Sam overheard someone(s) trash-talking Dean, and couldn't stop himself from setting them straight? I can't recall if this was when they were teenagers, or maybe it was a lot more recent than that—say, out at a bar one night.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

"You don't know what you're talking about," Sam informs the biggest guy, and he's amazed at how calm he sounds, given that his heart is threatening to come right through his ribcage.

The guy sneers. "Aw, if it isn't baby brother, coming to the rescue. What are you going to do about it?"

"I don't have to do anything." The guy bigger than Sam, but Sam isn't exactly a shrimp anymore, not since last summer. He smiles, enjoying how it unsettles the other guy. "The fact that your girlfriend picked my brother over you speaks for itself. If I were you, I wouldn't go announcing the fact that you've got a small dick all over school."

There's a burst of laughter from their audience, and when the guy takes a swing at him, Sam is ready and waiting.

The one where Dean suddenly and inexplicably starts to crave licorice...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Steve really isn't sure what to make of this. "Danny... don't you think it's a little much?"

Danny glares up at him from a desk piled high with licorice packets of every colour and every brand he could get his hands on. "Look, just because I can't seem to eat anything else doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to have a little variety in my life!"

Steve tilts his head in acquiescence. "Point taken."

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, I just realized I *totally* misread your prompt! I am SO sorry! I am so used to seeing H50 stuff from you, but I was re-reading now and feel really stupid. D:

Why the Avengers/SHIELD should be incredibly grateful that Pepper Potts never considered a life of crime.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Phil has a cramp in his hand, but Pepper is undeterred and hands him another stack of papers. "Here you will find all the documentation pertaining to what is considered proprietary to Stark Industries, and what Mr. Stark is willing to share with S.H.I.E.L.D on condition that all involved employees and agents sign a standard non-disclosure agreement. If you'd care to sign where it's marked, since you're here as Director Fury's proxy..."

He's beginning to think that Nick knew exactly what he was in for, which is why he sent Phil instead. He tries to count all the Post-It notes and gives up after he hits thirteen.

"I don't have to use my blood to sign any of this, do I? Because that's where I draw the line."

Pepper smiles brightly at him, and he sighs and sets about putting pen to paper.

I haven't caught Hawaii 5-0 yet, but the notion of the Winchesters in the islands (for whatever reason) is delicious. So, some sort of crossover? Surfing? Ancient god? Flirtation of your choice? :D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Dean is flirting with Agent Kalakaua, who is flirting right back and earning herself a dirty look from Sergeant Kelly. Sam is pretty sure they're either dating or related, probably the latter. Only family can scowl at you in that exactly way.

The little guy—Detective Williams—reaches up and pokes Sam in the chest with unnecessary vigor. He's probably annoyed that the top of his head barely reaches Sam's pectorals, but that's hardly Sam's fault.

"You two," he says, slowly and deliberately, "are the worst excuses I have ever seen for fake cops. You're just lucky that Steve and Kono appear to have taken a shine to you, so you get one chance—just one, mind you—to come clean with me before I slap a pair of cuffs on you."

It's laughable that this guy, who is definitely at least two feet shorter than Sam, thinks that he's going to take the two of them down. And yet, looking into Danny William's bright blue eyes, Sam suddenly isn't so sure anymore.

"Okay, I can explain..."

[ferrous-wheeler.livejournal.com]

I adore the fusion verse as well! I am really terrible at prompts, so here goes nothing: Sam overhears Dean talking to someone about money worries, and blames himself, Dean has to calm him down. I know, not the most uplifting, but I figure that that would be something that they'd have to face at some time or other. (If you don't like, please change or ignore as you like!!! :) )

"Sam, so help me I will come over there and unplug that computer if you don't turn it off yourself."

"Laptop."

Dean grits his teeth, because it's nearly eleven o'clock and Sam's off-schedule by at least an hour without showing any signs of coming away from whatever it is he's obsessing over on the internet. He stalks over to the computer table, intent on slamming the laptop shut and throwing it out the nearest window if he has to, and stops short when he sees what's on the screen.

"I thought you worked on your translation stuff in the morning?"

Sam shakes his head. "I took on an extra contract, short deadline."

"Why the hell would you do that?" His brother doesn't look up, fingers flying over the keyboard, shoulders hunched in the way he gets only when he's feeling guilty about something. "Sam."

"We need the money. I heard you tell Cas... I couldn't make it work otherwise, I'm sorry. I tried, but there wasn't any other way." Sam still hasn't looked up, but his hands are shaking.

Dean reaches over and closes the laptop, and Sam lets him, dropping his gaze to his lap. "Okay, enough," he says gently. "Here's what's going to happen. You're going to take your meds, and we're going to go to bed. When we've both slept, we're going to have a long talk about money, and why you need to come talk to me before you freak out about conversations you eavesdropped on. Got it?"

"Wasn't eavesdropping," Sam mutters, but he lets Dean lead him away without protest, thank God.

They'll sleep on it, and in the morning it'll all look better.

The one where they go to visit Bobby one summer and bb!Sammy really wants to keep Bobby's dog, so Dean tries to think up elaborate ways to steal it (even though he thinks dogs suck).

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

No matter which way he cuts it, there's no way to hide it from Dad in the long-term. Except that Sam is looking up at him with that mixture of pleading and confidence in his big brother that Dean hasn't figured out how to resist, his arms around the dog's neck, and so Dean sets his mind to it again.

"Maybe Dad wouldn't notice if we drilled air holes in the bottom of the trunk..."

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

How about the one where the boys spike a watermelon and spend a day with their feet in the river getting drunk on a rare day off?

:)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Nothing can ruin this day, as far as Dean is concerned. Not when he gets to feel the sun hot on his back (and yes, Sam, he remembered to wear sunscreen, thank you) and the cold water lapping at his feet. Somewhere close by there's a bird he doesn't know singing, accompanied only by the whisper of the wind in the tree branches.

It's a beautiful day, and nothing can spoil it. Not even when Sam, never able to hold his liquor as well as his much cooler older brother, loses his footing and slips into the water with a splash (and, okay, maybe Dean pushed him, but only a little). Not even when, laughing, eyes sparkling, Sam reaches up with a long arm and hauls Dean right into the water alongside him and forcefully ducks his head beneath the surface.

AAAAHHHHH I'm so torn about what to ask for.

OKAY!

Tell me about the time Sheriff Stilinski first saw a werewolf. :D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oooh, first-ever Teen Wolf thing... Lemme think.

***

What he's seeing is impossible. That's what reason and logic are telling the Sheriff as he stands, weapon trained on the two animals (people?) before him. They're ignoring him, standing far too close to each other, teeth bared, fur bristling, eyes glowing unnaturally in the gloom of the night. The taller one—is that really Derek Hale—roars, or maybe it's a snarl, he's not sure, but the smaller one doesn't back down.

Time for something a little more drastic. He draws his spare piece out his ankle holster—no way he's using his official handgun for this, the paperwork alone would be a nightmare—and fires a warning shot into the ground.

"Scott McCall!" he barks, when both werewolves have flinched from the noise and turned fiery-bright eyes on him. "It's a school night. Just what in the heck do you think you're doing?"

The smaller werewolf hunches over, head drooping, and really, he's still the overeager teenager the Sheriff has always known. "Sorry, Mr. Stilinski. Please don't tell my Mom?"

He sighs and holsters his weapon. Some things, he supposes, will never change.

I remember this well because it was the sort of thing that would happen to me. Remember the time in the fusion verse Sam got his meds out in the bathroom and dropped the whole bottle of pills in the toilet. It is the weekend and the pills will be hard to refill and it is the end to a crappy day anyway. Dean bakes cookies to make it all better. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

The pills are strewn over the table, now, drying out on several sheets of paper towel, and Sam is still shaking. He's wrapped in one of the throws from the living room even though it's summer and Dean is a little worried he'll die of heatstroke, but if it stops the shaking Dean will take it.

He produces the bottle of Klonopin he took from the medicine cabinet after he'd rescued the rest of Sam's Seroquel from the toilet bowl, shakes out two tiny pills into Sam's oversized palm and hands him a glass of water.

"Bottom's up, Sammy. It's fine, okay? The pills are a little soggy, but we'll let 'em dry out, they should be fine. C'mon, breathe for me. In and out, through your nose."

He has to help hold the glass steady, because this apparently was the last straw on a very bad day, and Sam has all but shut down, eyes closed against whatever it is he's seeing. It was obviously an accident—it wouldn't even occur to Sam to flush his meds, not when they cost so much money and let him cope with the sheer scope of existing topside these days—but he was so upset Dean was sure he'd end up hurting himself.

"Better now?" he asks, once the water's gone, and Sam nods automatically. It might be a lie, but at least Sam's trying. He squeezes Sam's shoulder with one hand, gives a thumb's-up to Perry, not that she knows what that means, but she gets upset when Sam's upset, so he does what he can. "So," he says finally. "How about I bake cookies? Think that'd improve your day?"

Sam's sudden, small smile is the only answer he needs.

I am so in love with the Fusion verse!! Can't even tell you how many times I have reread it! The picture of that Sam holding that tiny kitten just pulls at the heart strings! Of course Dean will let him keep it!

[aerynsun5.livejournal.com]

Fusion!verse is one of my very favorite things ever. Even little snippets.

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

(I hope I'm not too late?!) Fusion verse – The one where Sam cleans the dust off the Impala and takes Dean for a spin.

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

Oh. So. Perfect. Thank you so much!!

:)

[scribble2much.livejournal.com]

You know, of course, we need this to be expanded. Just sayin' ....

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Which one?
