I was doing this with iphignia939 last night and it was fun and I'm already climbing the walls so why not?

Give me the names of two characters I might know, and I'll make up a summary or outline for a fic that pairs them. Male, female, RPS, FPS, whatever fandom, however weird. (Because I'm xoverAU, I reserve the right to make some of them AUs.) Go! ( Read more... )

AJ and Gambit.

And just for kicks, Lance and Scott Summers.

AJ/Gambit

I see an AU with AJ as a scrappy, sinewy streetkid picking pockets so he doesn't have to give up worse. He's a rank amateur next to the Guild kids, but he's not a joiner, so he gets a lot of black eyes for 'tipping off marks'. One day, an older man's poised to break his fingers against the pavement and Remy steps in. After a battle of accented French and hand gestures AJ's sure are rude, the other man backs down, and Remy takes him under his proverbial wing. N'aww.

Lance/ScottLord, it'd be a dance of manners like a freaking Austen novel. They're both such closet cases. If Lance came, say, to the school as an instructor...hmm ( ... )

What kind of idiot secretly cheats on a telepath??!

...oh, right. Scott Summer. *shakes head, amused*

Yes, that's the great part. He THINKS SHE DOESN'T KNOW.

Bobby Drake and JC or Lance.

Bobby/JC

He'd of course be with JC as a substitute for Remy, a salve for the pain of the night neither of them can forget. (Note my Comic Book Cornspeak (tm).) But eventually he'd come to appreciate JC's mellowness, his offbeat sense of humor, his intolerance for self-pity, and the fact that loyalty never compromises his ability to make his own choices. And JC, unlike Remy, is both around more and less likely to get himself killed. What was a replacement for love turns into love for real.

*sigh* I'd love to find full out fic that was like that. I've read a couple gambit/jc xovers and the full fic didn't draw me as much as the little paragraph you wrote.

And what you did with lance/scott for JM. My brain for some reason kept tossing out "lance" and replacing it with "kevin" for some odd reason. And now my brain is just wandering off inserting Kevin into the x-universe as different folks and seeing what works.

Oh god, this is pretty much my favorite meme of all time. I'm going to leave you several and you can just pick which one you want to summarize, okay? This is my *favorite thing*.

Patrick/Xander
Logan/Dean Winchester (omg I'm dead from that already)
Jayne/Justin Timberlake
Vanyel/William Beckett
Samuel "Screech" Powers/Pete Wentz

There are no sweeter little dudes in existence, I tell you.

That is LOVE. I only wish I knew word one about Screech, other than--that Pete would love him because he's the skinny fro-ed out version of Patrick.

Alex Krycek and Dean Winchester. Of course.

"Of course" strikes me as a perfectly acceptable summary, but for you, I'll go on!

Alex/DeanEveryone leaves them both, and both of them feel cursed to keep caring. They're the sort of guys you'd hit in the jaw, but they'd still turn up with a fortuitous bullet just in time to stop your death. They don't consider knowing the Truth Is Out There a blessing or a burden, so much as a job. They're good soldiers, and when there's no one to give them orders they do it themselves. Also, shiny matching fatalism ( ... )

Thank you for such a freaking awesome idea. quiet000001 was wondering whether anyone had written SPN/HL fic, and I was thinking, hell, has anyone written X-Files/SPN fic? But I didn't get quite this far in my speculation, and I suspect I wouldn't have without you.

gerard/constantine

i picked the movieverse constantine, btw.

it's a dark reflection of our world, and they're in the mental hospital together. both very young, both recovering from suicide attempts. they're alone, shaken and shaking from the things that pluck at their minds and the fears that feast below--until once, they both see the same nightmare walking. john makes gerard write it down before he speaks, the thing he can't hear over or see through--and he does, pressure making jagged marks with the crayon. the same description john wrote on his own paper, without sharing a word. 'tall, red eyes, long nose like a melted candle, two sicle teeth, silver chain on its wrist and the WINGS...'

the shrinks would call it a shared delusion, or worse, a prank, but they know. now they know they're one kind. now they're alone together.
