Lady Drace

Working title: "Jerichoprompt"
Fandom: SPN.
Pairing: Sam/Gabriel probably.
Other stuff: Amnesia fic, Jericho crossover.
Word count: 4000~ words so far.

Prompt: Gabriel was ressurrected but with no memory of who he was and since, he's been Bill, one of the loval cops in Jericho. It's not until one day, out checking on a disturbance that Bill gets attacked by something that should exisist and wakes up in one of the remote cabins outside Jericho.

I totally stole this prompt from a comment meme. If I ever get around to finishing it, I'll have to ask the original prompter if it's okay for me to use it.

Notes:
Okay, so... I watched Jericho a while ago, and while the series itself didn't really do much for me, RSJ was amazing in it, small-ish part or not. So this was just a tasty tasty prompt and I couldn't help but start writing it, even though the prompt was technically claimed for a mini-bang. But since I haven't seen any signs of the mini-bang fic ever happening, I think I can come forward now and admit that I started it too.

The only problem with this is that I've written myself into a corner somewhat, but I think I can save it. I sure like what I have so far, and once I brainstorm how to get myself over that hump I think it can be a good fic.

I also took total liberties with werewolves, so I'll probably do some handwavey shit and claim it's a foreign type or something.

Working title: "Ramalama."
Fandom: BBC Merlin.
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin.
Other stuff: Yes, the title refers to the song "Ramalama Bang Bang" by Roisin Murphy, and it's also included in the fic.
Word count: 2268 so far.

Originally this bunny was jotted down like this:

Arthur is a dancer, in town with a show. Every show he dances to Rama lama bang bang. It's a pure sex dance, and every show he picks someone out from the audience and has serious eye sex with them. One night he picks Merlin. Merlin falls for him, only to find out he's a complete snob off-stage. Trouble for Arthur is, he also falls for Merlin and has to learn some hard lessons in humility before they can get together.

Notes: If I ever get back to work on this fic, I greatly suspect it'll end up being long as fuck. Because every time I start poking at it, more plot points fall out. *pulls hair*

First the idea was just that Arthur was sexy on stage, but snooty as fuck off stage in a very general way, but it gets more and more detailed as I go along. Most of it is the fact that he's absurdly talented, and used to being treated like the golden boy he is. Morgana runs the show he travels with, and is the only one who regularly tells him when he's being a dick. Which is pretty much always. But she's his sister, so in Arthur's mind, she totally doesn't count. I have scenes thought out of Arthur dating only the prettiest girls, and not giving two shits about their feelings, only deciding by his own level of comfort how long the relationships last. He's never had to pursue anyone. Who he wants, he gets. And he KNOWS he's drop-dead sexy, which he uses to his advantage every chance he gets.

Merlin is in school, probably university. He goes to Arthur's show mostly against his will, and ends up being the "victim" of the night. Arthur loves toying with the audience, and every night he picks one "lucky" person to have filthy eye-sex/dance-off with, and of course he ends up picking Merlin. Merlin leaves the show with a major boner and a brand new fanboy crush. Arthur barely remembers him.

At Gwen's insistence Merlin tries to get Arthur's autograph, but is disgusted by what a major prick he is. He says some really snarky things to Arthur, who hardly believes his own ears. Because who would say such things to him!? He's gorgeous! Everybody knows it!

Enter next plot point. Merlin's mum runs a charity for kids, and because Gwen is a blabbermouth, Hunith gets the impression that Merlin is able to get in and talk with Arthur, and ask if he would volunteer a few hours of charity work, teaching some poor kids to dance. Merlin of course despairs but can't say no. It's for charity, after all.

Much to his surprise, Arthur agrees to see him and even accepts the proposal. Because of course it's eating him up that Merlin dared be so rude to him, and for some strange (pfft) reason, it actually matters to him what the big-eared bean-stalk thinks of him.

I think the rest should be obvious from here.

Notes about the following snippet: Yes, the music here is Ramalama Bang Bang. It's a seriously sexy song, just FYI. And if you're wondering how Arthur looks, this is where I've looked to for inspiration. Just... imagine that stuff on Arthur's entire upper body. *distracted* Uhm... yes. Moving on.

Working title: "Trouble."
Fandom: SPN.
Pairing: Dean/Castiel.
Other stuff: Noir style AU.
Word count: 470 so far.

This bunny reads pretty much like this. "Dean/Cas Noir AU. Dean is a private eye and Cas is a bar singer. "

Notes:
This bunny is complete self-indulgence, because I know next to nothing about this era. I never watched the Untouchables or anything resembling an accurate representation of this period. All I have to fall back on for this is Bugsy Malone and the episodes of SPN and Castle playing with this type of story. I pretty much only thought of it because Dean looks good in a fedora and Cas would be sexy as hell singing in a smoky bar. I am so screwed.

Also, I think Dean might sound too much like a caricature in this, and that wasn't really my intention. Oh well.

Working title: "Squire Duties"
Fandom: BBC Merlin.
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur.
Other stuff: ---.
Word count: 400-ish so far.

This is basically a "Merlin discovered gay sex" bunny.

Notes: Thing is, I imagine most of Arthur's knights have squires. Not that we really ever see them, but still. But we all know that Arthur seems to rely on Merlin for all those squire things. Carrying his jousting lances, taking care of his horse, cleaning his armor...
So the bunny goes that Merlin walks in on one of Arthur's knights (I picked Sir Kay, just because), being "serviced" somehow by his squire, and at first he's horrified, because he thinks that the squire is being raped. But shortly he realizes not only that the squire totally loves it, but also that this is a regular occurrence. And somewhere along the way, whatever is being said (I haven't figured out the details yet) makes Merlin wonder if this thing is something all squires are expected to do. Which in turn makes him wonder why Arthur doesn't have a squire, and from there to wondering if this is something Merlin is supposed to offer Arthur as well.

Working title: "Iron Man Crossover"
Fandom: SPN / Iron Man.
Pairing: Dean/Tony.
Other stuff: Yeah, I went there.
Word count: 356.

This tiny thing was born from a chat with martiya_khvar where we agreed that anything can be crossed with Iron Man, with the understanding that Tony sleeps with anybody.

Notes:
This is something that will probably never be anything more than it is. It's too long for a drabble and too short to be a real fic so I'm unsure what to do with it. I had some vague (but ambitious) ideas about maybe making it massively longer and maybe even having Dean end up being War Machine or something. But I know entirely too little about the Marvel universe in general, so I think I've officially given up on adding more to it. But it's a cute little snippet and I like how Tony's voice came out.

Working title: "You're Contagious, Baby!"
Fandom: SPN.
Pairing: Sam/Gabriel... maybe. Not sure yet. A smattering of Dean/Cas.
Other stuff: I hate the first chapter with a vengeance...
Word count: 9700 words so far.

Jesus Christ, this bunny went off like a damn rocket, reaching 8000 words before I even knew what hit me... and then it screeched to a halt for no good reason. I desperately want to finish it, but I greatly fear that this might require at least another 10k words to finish, if not more! And that's scary!

Notes:
Basically, this bunny was just meant to be: "Sam gets trickster powers, Gabriel agrees to teach him to use them, shenanigans happen." How the hell that went on to become something like an entire season 5-6 AU, I have no clue. I had a vague idea of making it Sam/Gabriel, but so far the boys are playing really hard to get. Not normally a problem for my shippy tendencies. Also, at first my plan was to make the powers temporary for Sam, but the way the fic is going, it's totally not gonna end that way. Seriously, my muses are just being manipulative bitches with this fic. Every time I think I know where it's going, it takes another unexpected turn. The only thing that seems to be pretty much a steady theme is that Dean and Cas are disgustingly in love, but of course not acknowledging it in any way. U.S.fucking.T. And poor Sam is kinda sick of it. Just for that, I think he deserves to get laid. And if nothing else, Gabriel is full of ideas in that regard.

Working title: "A Place In Time." (totally ripped off from the 4400 theme song)
Fandom: SPN.
Pairing: Dean/Castiel.
Other stuff: Season 5 AU.
Word count: 2200 words so far.

This WIP was born from musings over the SPN episode "The French Mistake". The idea that there are so many more universes to play with made my last resistance to my schmoopy domestic Dean/Cas bunnies crumble completely. Not that I mind domestic fics at all, I just don't like writing them all that much. Joke's on me, clearly.

My bunny was jotted down like this:

Dean is breaking inside after his trip to 2014. Castiel decides to do a little time jumping of his own to find a more hopeful future to tell Dean about. Sadly, he's too emotionally invested and his intense hope that he will find a happy Dean directs him to a different timeline parallel to his, where Dean and Cas live together in domestic, fluffy happiness. Castiel still hasn't figured out what all his feelings for Dean really mean, so seeing that future makes him very confused and even more emotional. So when he tries to travel back to his own time, he only manages to travel back in the timeline he's already in, finding out how he and Dean began in a different way.

Notes: This is pretty much an excuse to write pure sap. I don't know why I normally resist this so much, but whatever. I'm still sort of conflicted on how Cas makes the actual jump, since he's still fairly low on power at that time and Balthazar needed to do some sort of ritual to get Sam and Dean to the other universe. But I get the feeling that God is looking over Castiel's shoulder a lot, considering how many times he's been brought back to life, so I always have the option of just saying "God did it." Cheap, but doable.

In this other universe, things are pretty much the same up to season 5. Certain things might be tweeked, but so far I stick to Sam putting Lucifer back in the cage. Only real difference is that in this world, Dean and Cas actually managed to get together, and when God brought back Cas after Lucifer offed him, he also popped Sam out of the cage, all full of soul and everything. Probably Adam too, for good measure. After Lucifer being popped back in the cage, his minions sort of slithered away and hunts became fewer and far between. So when a kid was pretty much dumped in his lap, Dean decided to just say screw it all and aim for an apple pie life. (With hunting on the side, because he's still Dean.) I have the entire freaky story of how they happened upon a newborn baby in my head, but I'm not sure it'll end up even being put into the fic. But if I do get it typed out, I guess I can always just add it as sort of an outtake or something.

I'm still not sure what to do with Sam in the other universe. I think he'd still be hunting, but I also think he'd jump at the opportunity to settle down. I'd like for him to also have a family, but with who, I'm still unsure. I'm tempted to bring back Gabriel, but I'm not sure it fits this fic all that well. So who knows. Maybe Sam and Adam will just shack up and be messy bachelors together. *shrug* I don't think I'm really up for writing too many OCs for this one. The little kid is giving me enough headaches.

The focus of this fic isn't even supposed to be the fluff. It's supposed to be about Castiel's internal struggles to figure out what all these pesky emotions are all about, but we'll see how well I manage to pull that off.

So, I've decided to go ahead and do this 100 Things Challenge. I may or may not end up regretting it, but since there's no deadline, I probably won't stress out over it too much. And since there's no rules for how often to post, I can't even promise any sort of regular updates on it. I may post 3 entries in one day and then nothing for 2 months. We'll just have to wait and see.

My challenge will be: 100 WIPs or plot bunnies of mine, which I hope to finish, or just really like. With a little luck this may actually help me finish a few things too. Hope dies last, after all.

I expect I'll be posting snippets, musings, random plot notes or research plans. Whatever the fic or bunny in question demands.

This should be fun!
