Werewolf Big Bang
Apparently there's a Werewolf Big Bang challenge, and Laura's doing it, and like most things, she's bullying me into doing it too. Peer pressure, man, it's a bitch.
I'm thinking about doing something from Ava 'verse, probably pre-series, and most likely Ben/Daniel. Now, if you're not familiar with my big, epic, mostly unwritten series, Ava's my immortal narrator, and two members of her crew are Ben (the werewolf) and Daniel (the vampire). Also, Ben and Daniel are in love. Because I love backstory for all my characters, I know lots of things about them that will probably never make it into the actual books. There may be references to past events, but you will never see the full details of so many awesome and cool things that happen to the characters before they meet Ava. So, this would be a chance to play around in my favorite world and write something that would otherwise not see the light of day.
And here's where you guys come in. I'd like to know which of the following sounds most interesting, or that you would most like to read.
1. Ben and Daniel's first meeting (also includes the first time they have sex). I'm interested in this one myself, because the club they meet at is so cool, and I'd have a great time fleshing it out. The only drawback is that I am TERRIBLE at writing sex scenes (gee, I wonder why) and that might be a story killer.
2. How Ben's dad died. Ben's parents were werewolves, so it fits the prompt, and it's a cool (also, very sad) story that sets up the origin of Ben's pack, and how his mom came to own a bar called The Silver Bullet.
3. When Ben's sister has her babies. Ben's step-sister Samantha is (you guessed it) also a werewolf, and as the concept of werewolf babies came to be hugely important to me for no real reason at all, it's a story that has some draw. I'd get to show some of the werewolf facts I've made up, do some good family drama, and plus, BABIES. Doesn't everybody love babies? Also: Daniel with babies, which would be as hilarious as it would be adorable.
4. The first case with Ava. I actually have no idea what this would be. I sort of know how Ava met Daniel, which was before he was with Ben, and in a different city, so technically, she wasn't even Ava then. This would be the first time Actual Ava worked on something with Ben and Daniel, and how they all narrowly avoided being horribly killed/maimed.
I suppose I could be really hella depressing and write future fic where Ben dies, but holy crap I don't want to do that. I love those boys! I want to pretend that Ava finds a spell or a magic amulet for Ben so that he can live forever and the three of them can keep being badass and saving the world for the next thousand years.
Go ahead and cast your votes in the comments. Feel free to let me know if they all suck, or if there's something else you're just dying to see me write about werewolves. Also, just for the record: werewolves DO NOT have werewolf babies. I know you were wondering.
