Idea Roundup

In the past week, I’ve had ideas:

There, there. If your thoughts were really horrible they would involve the Fringe team going whale-watching with Jean Valjean and finding a magical princess orca.

You know, with your brain, you really should make the leap over into writing fic, rather than just enabling me. ;)

And it's a magical duchess orca. Geez.

[sabra_n]

If you saw my writing attempts, you wouldn't be saying that. :)

And I'm American! Your inherited titles mean nothing to meeee!

For all I know, you've been secretly writing for years and giggling at me while I fangirl over your work. ;)

I kind of want to write a modern AU where Eponine is a private detective with a similar background to what she has in the movie/ play, but IDK.

[frea_o]

She would totally make an awesome detective with her background. One of those "Criminals sometimes make the best cops" situations, I think. I wonder how the others would fit in. Her parents could own a motel by the interstate; Cosette could be, like, somebody she went to college with after they were in elementary school together...

"Criminals sometimes make the best cops" situations

My thoughts exactly.

Good thought on the motel, I was thinking of making them con-artists who she loves and wants to love her, but always end up letting her down (Lucy and the football-esque). Maybe a mixture of both. And then Cosette and her are friends, on and off (class differences and men getting in the way). Not sure how to bring in the rest of the revolutionaries.

Valjean would work well for a mayoral position that has some dirt come up on him that may or may not be true, but he's under a lot of flack, especially since the head reporter for the times, Javert, has it out for him. Cosette is being groomed for politics, as is a shiny new detective, Marius Pontmercy. He comes from old money, but marrying Cosette (whose pedigree and wealth will only advance him further) will seal his fate, provided that he doesn't throw it all away joining up with Enjolras and a group looking to start a picket line for better treatment of civil servants.

Suddenly I want to watch Once Upon A Time more than I have before *grins*. 4 sounds intriguing, 5 has me jumping up and down going YES YES YES and, yeah, I think 6 would be difficult to write, but my, I love where your brain went there.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and read Antartica AUs.

[frea_o]

You know, I held off on Once Upon a Time because the first couple of episodes scared me away, but once you get past those, it's kind of awesome. My friend is really pushing for me to write this fic now. Only part of that is because we're having a race to see who can finish a story first and he wants to sabotage me. It could be a lot of fun to write Rapunzel!Olivia.

5 is going to take awhile if I do write it; The Woman in the Crosshairs was born of inspiration and nothing else, so it'll be hard to try and match that and do it justice.

Secret Assassins are always the first place my brain goes. what this says about me, I don't know.

I just wanted to drop in and tell you that this post makes me happy. =D

[frea_o]

hahaha, you're just happy I'm going to freeze Natasha to death. Seriously, falling into the water fully clothed is probably going to stop her heart. :-P And the first thing she has to do when she gets out is get naked.
