Because I just flooded royalneptune

[perpet_fic]

Gimmie a pairing, a fandom, and a general idea, and I'll ficlet for you in the comments. Check my tags for fandoms. Extra five points if you make it comics-related.

And, yes, I'm still working on the Percy/Oliver, but everyone needs a distraction, yes?

EDIT: I'm updating tags as I fill requests, so keep an eye if you've requested something.

"Time portal!" Chekov yells and doesn't notice when the other dozen people in the room turn and stare at him.

Scotty leans over Chekov's shoulder to get a better view at the exhibit. "It pulls people out of space and time? Think we've had enough of that."

Chekov wrinkles his brow at the idea and nods. "Da," he agrees. He moves down the exhibit and stops at a picture of a man in a red and gold suit. "Iron Man," he reads aloud. "He had repulsors to help him fly. He could break the speed of sound."

"How'd he pilot the damned thing?" Scotty asks. "Looks like--" He cuts off as he spots a different illustration, this one of a man in a blue suit hanging down from a flying blue craft that looks like a beetle. "Now that," he says and points, "that's something."

"It is bug," Chekov says distastefully. He reads the specs on the plaque next to the exhibit and breathes out through his nose. "Boring," he declares. "Our ship is better."

"Enterprise is always better," Scotty agrees. He and Chekov share a quick grin. Chekov slips his hand into Scotty's, and Scotty gives it a squeeze.

"Ooh," Chekov murmurs, pulling Scotty to the next exhibit. "This one wrist bands with forcefields."

"Now that's dead useful," Scotty says seriously. "Wonder if there are any illustrations that show the circuits in detail." Scotty hears a scoffing laugh behind him and turns. "Yes?" He asks the man behind him.

"Nothing," the man says. "Just think it's fun to see grown men," he pauses for a moment to assess Chekov, "wondering about comic book science."

"Spider-Man," Chekov says flatly. He gives Scotty and the man an exasperated look when they both just blink at him. "House arrest bracelet," he clarifies. Scotty's eyes light up. The man still looks confused.

"I don't follow," the man says.

"The original form of the house arrest bracelet was invented because of Spider-Man comics," Chekov spells out, sharing an annoyed look with Scotty.

"So there," Scotty finishes, and turns to look at the illustration of the wrist bands again. "You know," he says slowly, "we could do it as an EMP field, I think. Don't think it'd let you dodge a punch, but it might let you dodge a phaser."

Chekov's eyes light up. "Do you think the Captain will notice if we buy extra hull plating to make them?"

"I've got bits lying about. We'll use those for the prototypes."

A week later, Chekov and Scotty run into the Captain's office. Scotty puts on the wrist bands, hands the phaser to Chekov, and they both giggle madly when Chekov shoots him.

Kirk blinks. "Well," he says. Then he grins. "Do it again."

I might've gotten +5 because of the comic-book cross, but you +5,000,000,000 for all those comic book references.

And the fact that omg, RL in my fic. And it's a cool fact! :O

So, yes. You got more points, but I'll find a way to live with that.
