hiddencaitI am pretty much certain I've done this meme before or at least something closish, but I figure this is probably a good day to do it again. So yeah, prompt me kids! BTW, totally stole this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Date: 2012-02-24 07:57 pm (UTC)Will slanted his gaze over to the woman in question and decided that, while he had no idea who’d thought drinking and Truth or Dare would be a good team-building exercise for IMF and their Avengers counterparts, he really agreed with the concept right about now.
He strode slowly over, eyeing her up and down, then leaning in for the kiss, only to stop and stare as Darcy dissolved into hysterical giggles just inches from his mouth.
“Oh my god, I’m sorry I just… Shit, I can’t even…” She trailed off still giggling, and Will sighed as half the room joined in on her laughter.
“Maybe you’d have better luck with the rich guy this time, Will!” Benji managed to sputter as he elbowed Stark in the ribs, and Will made a mental note to plan something horribly embarrassing for his teammate in the very near future. Will leaned away from Darcy, planning to just wait out the laughing fit. After all, he’d seen the consequences of failing to complete a dare, and he did not under any circumstances want to join Thor and Ethan who were both covered in glitter and sporting feather boas across the room.
After only a few more minutes of hysterics, Darcy finally managed to calm herself enough to offer an explanation, albeit an extremely drunken one.
“Look, it’s not that you’re not pretty, because you are really pretty, but it’s just weird. It’s like Tasha just took my favorite gay gym bunny, wrangled him into his boyfriend’s suit, and then told him to kiss me. It’s just hard to keep a straight face, you know?”
There was a beat of silence, and then every eye in the room turned to Will’s cousin and the silent agent standing beside him. Darcy gulped.
“And I just accidentally outted two of my teammates, didn’t I?” She shifted to put Will between her and the two men in question. “Oops?”
Coulson just sighed, and lifted a hand to hide his face. His shoulders shook, and while Will didn’t know him well enough yet to know for sure, he was almost certain he was hiding laughter. Clint just crossed his arms and managed to look ridiculously petulant as he muttered something about “I’m not a damn gym bunny.”
Will shook his head again. “Clint, you are so painfully a gym bunny. I’m straight, and I even recognize it. Just get over your ego and embrace it, already.”
Under the cover of another round of laughter and Clint’s sputtering, Will turned and swooped down to press Darcy back against the wall before she could burst into giggles again. Then he dipped his head, and as ordered, kissed her within an inch of her life.
He figured he couldn’t be blamed for being a little smug when he finally stepped back, and Darcy’s knees gave out. Mission accomplished.
Now… about his revenge.
“So Benji – Truth or Dare?”

Date: 2012-02-24 10:26 pm (UTC)So I want something Alice/Claire, it doesn't even have to be super shippy. I just want them being their usual BAMF selves.
Is this a proper prompt or should I be a little more specific?

Date: 2012-02-26 12:57 am (UTC)Finally got this done!!
Date: 2012-03-11 05:55 pm (UTC)It’s Becker, but not. Where the Becker she knows is undeniably fit, this man is almost frighteningly so – with lean muscles stretched over his tall form and not a scrap of fat to be seen. There are scars littering that taut skin too – ragged ones tearing into both arms and one horrifying stretch of scar across the his throat. A scar that his ragged beard can do nothing to hide.
He is not their Becker, and with that knowledge, Alison is not surprised Nigels and the others are aiming in his direction.
And yet…something in her all but reaches for him, and dangerous though it may be, she feels a familiarity in him, a connection to the battered form that she’s never felt for the military man Jess is so fond of.
She takes a few shaking steps forward, ignoring the hands that try to hold her back. A name that she swears she shouldn’t recognize falls from her lips.
“Hil?”
He smiles grimly, and she wonders if she should be frightened. Then his shoulders seem to relax imperceptibly and he lowers his weapon.
“Alison. I knew you’d survive somewhere.”

Date: 2012-03-11 08:28 pm (UTC)And in my Surviving!Verse - Helen never cheated on her husband and was never in the Forest of Dean however many years ago. Thus, the gorgonopsid didn't have anyone to chase back through the anomaly - and it lead a family group through with it, as did several herbivores (cuz by cannon, it was open for a few days). Plus with my headcannon - the more things out of their proper timeline, the more unstable/and common the anomalies become.
Eventually there were tons (not quite conversion but similar) of anomalies and creatures coming through. And lets face it - we are not the top of the food chain in that situation.
So instead of 8 years of Helen being missing up to the present verse, we had 8 years of the world finally going to hell, and the cannon characters that we know and love managing to still come together, but dying horribly till eventually only Helen and Alison are left of the people they care about.
And when faced with the fact that there really is no saving even civilians any more, they leave through an anomaly and, after many many alternate verses and managing to find one to two things to change to keep their alt!loved ones from dying, find their way to cannon verse. (And in my head manage to save Stephen as the first of the changes they plan to make to try to save this verse).
...can you tell this is a reality that I REALLY want the time to play with one of these days? lol I just know it's going to be long as hell lol.
Re: Finally got this done!!
Date: 2012-03-11 08:42 pm (UTC)And I think it would probably need to be novel-esque? If only for the "OMG the crazy ex is here and apparently not crazy and hey look it's Stephen's ex girlfriend too and wasn't she in South America?" massive plot lines and such
I have one chapter I wrote like.. years ago posted and then a femmeslashy oneshot I did for it, but neither feel like they're up to my current writing style.. or at least the first chapter certainly doesn't.
Re: Finally got this done!!
Date: 2012-03-11 09:08 pm (UTC)I thought about it. I'm just not sure I could get the right tone and history there for what I want maybe? Who knows. I thought about starting from scratch on it for not_from_stars and queenmidalah's Anomaly Big Bang, but considering I've got 2 others to do for crossbigbang, I'm just sure I want to take on something else yet.
And no joke! That was part of why I am always aggravated with Ryan's death - he goes down way too easily somehow, even if it WAS a future predator.
Re: Finally got this done!!
Date: 2012-03-11 09:18 pm (UTC)I dropped one of mine too - it's hard to give up on them, but damned if being calm and enjoying writing isn't more important than finishing by a deadline ya know?
And that definitely works - I totally love the various drabble memes for just that reason - even when I'm kicking myself due to writersblock, I can still keep my hands moving.
Re: Finally got this done!!
Date: 2012-03-11 09:37 pm (UTC)And oooo that is tempting.. drat lol Though it might be fun to get to play back in some of my older fandoms...
