Claims Post!
CLAIMS ARE LIVE (and comments are fixed. *facepalm*)
Artists! It's almost time for your turn to mind the Arrowcave! (And does Diggle calling it that mean he knows Batman?)
Under the cut you'll find four summaries waiting to be claimed, two on the minibang track and two on the big bang track (if you're unclear on what that means as far as art goes, check out the the guidelines post is here to help (and remember those are just the minimum requirements!) Claims will open up at 12 PM EST (check what that is where you are); once claims open comment with your three top choices. For example:
1. MB 01
2. BB 02
3. BB 01
Since we have more artists signed up than summaries available, there will be a conditional second round of claims were any artists shut out of the first round can then claim, but only once each story has been matched with an artist.
Sound good? Any questions/concerns, PM us or drop an email at arrowbbmod@gmail.com
To the stories!
Minibang Track
MB 01
Pairing(s)/Characters: John Diggle, Oliver Queen (Olt'ver), Tommy Merlyn, Felicity Smoak, supporting characters
Rating: R
Warnings/Content Notes:General Star Trek fusion set shortly before the Dominion War in a slightly alternate universe where the Romulans made besties with the Federation (but no ST knowledge is really actually necessary)
Summary: Living life on a Centaur-class ship is really a lot of boring monotony for a security officer; you have your newbie officers, your instances of non-reg 'speculative works' making the rounds on ship forums, your Klingon boarding parties, international plots of mystery and betrayal, and, oh, right, and the fact you're in love with your commanding, Romulan officer.
Utter drudgery.
MB 02
Pairing(s)/Characters: Oliver/Laurel; Roy/Thea; Faith Lehane/Dean Winchester; Roy Harper/Raven Roth
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Content Notes: Dub-con due to emotional manipulation and control (sex pollen style sexual encounters).
Summary: A temple has moved into the Glades, making news and getting noticed with their charitable works and their pacifist teachings. At the same time Trigon International - a multi-national corporation - is trying to move into the space left by the collapse of the Merlyn Global Group. Team Oliver, now including one Roy Harper, stumbles on a less than above-board connection between the newcomers in town that leads them to want to investigate further.
While the team is investigating the mundane items that bind the hard-hitting corporation to the peace-loving temple, Faith Lehane, Vampire Slayer, and her husband Dean Winchester - well known demon hunter - arrive in town investigating a prophecy that the temple will bring forth a demon capable of ending the world.
The heart of the temple is a young woman named Raven - a powerful empath capable of not only sensing the emotions of others, but controlling them. She first encounters Roy and Thea, and takes an interest in Roy after he saves her from some bullies at the local community college.
Raven's powers are the key to the ritual for bringing forth the demon, and she needs someone like Roy at her side to make the spell work properly. Team Oliver joins forces with Dean and Faith to stop the ritual and save their friend.
Big Bang Track
BB 01
Pairing(s)/Characters: Malcolm Merlyn, Quentin Lance, Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Content Notes: Implied past mpreg, violence, brief strong language, past family estrangement/strained family relations,
Summary: Arrow/Torchwood crossover. Alien tech has gone missing from a Torchwood storage bunker in Asia, and now, Jack Harkness, working out of a derelict apartment in the Glades, is on the hunt for whoever has it. A paper and money trail links the theft to Unidac Industries, an R&D facility part-owned by the Queen family and by Malcolm Merlyn. The search becomes personal for Jack, as Merlyn is his long-lost son, given up for adoption since he was conceived and born in a time when the thought of a male-bodied human from another century and another planet giving birth was preposterous. Merlyn gets wind of the hound on his trail and suspects a threat to the Undertaking. Taking matters into his own hands, he tracks down Harkness and as the Dark Archer, fires five arrows into the interloper, killing him.
Or so he thinks. The night of the Undertaking, moments after Merlyn's final confrontation with Oliver Queen, he thinks he has a hallucination of Harkness, knelling over him and opening a vein in his own wrist and letting some of his blood drop into his (Merlyn's) wounds. But when Merlyn awakens, he finds his wounds healed and Harkness very much alive, and it would appear, has passed on his near-immortality. With the Starling City Police about to close in behind him, Merlyn agrees to abandon his world and escape into the wilds of space and time. After all, he's got all the time in the world to get back at Oliver Queen for trying to foil the Undertaking...
BB 02
Pairing(s)/Characters: Quentin/Oliver
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Content Notes: violence and sex
Summary:
Framed for a murder he didn't commit, Quentin Lance only has one contact in Starling City who can help him.
Knowing the wrongful imprisonment of her father would kill Laurel, Oliver takes up the task... with some caveats that will test Quentin’s moral code to its very limits.
Working as the Hood in such close proximity to the man who wants most to prove who he is might not be Oliver’s brightest idea ever. But hiding his true identity might not even be the hardest part of proving Quentin's innocence when the real murderer is unveiled...
