fickle: (only fiction)

Fic meme -- you are going to have FUN with this one, I bet.

Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

Taken from Sian and AJ! Name, btw, translates to a short summary of the fic, not a title. *already knows that Dani will probably do the best job of squicking her out*

[livejournal.com profile] 9tails, I already did the 10 weird facts about myself meme ages ago, so I'm declaring your tag for it invalid, okay? ^_~

And everyone else, if you need a refresher on what my fandoms are, here:

Animorphs, Archie Comics, Batman/DC*, Batman Beyond, Bruno and Boots, Canterella, Chrestomanci, Discworld, Good Omens, Gravitation, Greek Mythology, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, Hercules (Disney), Mighty Ducks, Mulan (Disney), Naruto, Othello (the manga), Petshop of Horrors, Pokemon, Sailor Moon season R, Smallville, Spiderman, Stick It, Sweet Valley, The Authority, The Charioteer, Yu-Gi-Oh, William Brown books.

*Not sure I can write all chars, but I'll tell you if I can't.

Crossovers will both make me headdesk and laugh. XD So feel to go for those, if you like. *looks at [livejournal.com profile] ego_chan, [livejournal.com profile] pikachumaniac and [livejournal.com profile] 9tails meaningfully.*

If you've heard me talk about a fandom or know I can write for it (like the random Anastasia request that Sian once made for Rasputin/Bartok), then go ahead and request it, even if it's not on the list. Utena, however, got removed purposefully because I'm still battling [livejournal.com profile] cairny's Xmas fic, so I'm not touching that fandom until I get hers done. ♥

Also, Savior got me into House last night. And I still haven't finished Fruits Basket! I weep.

House is worthy! Worthy, I say!

Never, ever write! Curses! (My brain isn't rebellious today to be crazy-like, so these are probably pretty write-able.)

AHHAA. CROSSOVERS.

1. Batman!Bruce takes up an old lead in Chinatown - suspicious murders, tigers and bears, oh-my! [Batman/Petshop of Horrors].

2. Lex Luthor and Seto Kaiba have to play nice-nice at a Isn't It Oh-So-Fabulous-That-We're-Rich dinner party. Ryuuji possibly in accompaniment? [Smallville/Yu-Gi-Oh!].

3. Terry!Batman has to deal with Cranky!Midnighter – Midnighter moving in on his turf? [Even though they’re not from the same universe - alas! Batman Beyond/The Authority - set during The Authority: Revolution 2/3 when Midnighter is off on his lonesome, trying out a singular life of crimefighting!].

(Fickle is my DC-friend. AHHAA. The icon had to be used for the fabulous Hades and Megara above. Poor Mister James Woods. So icon-ised.)

*DIES* Oh man, I would love to write practically any of those! But since I wouldn't have thought of any of them except 2, since I'm RPing something similar to that, I think that it still counts as a good answer to the challenge. XD

*tries to pick one* Hm. I haven't written for The Authority before and Terry would have a FIT at how violent Midnighter is. But I'd love to see what sort of pet Bruce would get from Count D. And Ryuuji's shameless flirting would make 2 far too funny. *debates!*

House will probably get a few more eps watched tonight. XD And then I'll join the rest of my flist in squeeing over it.

(I am indeed! But so is [livejournal.com profile] setoskim, right? And I can't believe that I've written Hades/Megara twice.)

Both Times. Me XD

Man, ALL of those looked tempting. I opted for 2 in the end since it involves the least amount of bloodshed. It's set during Lex's rebellious teen years for the maximum hilarity.

-------------------------------

Single. Rich. Powerful. Handsome, if you didn't mind baldness and with Lex Luthor's stock worth, very few women cared about the baldness. Or were willing to admit to it, at least.

And yet, despite that, Lex found very little entertainment in society parties -- even baiting the women that flocked to him got tedious very quickly. Of course, the only thing worse than talking to them was talking to the men at those events; they invariably wanted to either talk business or play 'my company is better than yours' with 'company' being a very poorly-coded word for 'penis'.

Seto Kaiba wasn't usually as annoying as the rest of them. Maybe only because he was too young to have grown as pompous as his equals in the business circles; he had all their arrogance, but nowhere near as bombastic. Lex personally attributed it to Kaiba's stint in an orphanage. Having to scrap for survival and look out for his younger brother as well as himself must have given Kaiba a very clear sense of where his place was in the world.

That was why when he found himself standing next to Seto and a potted plant, he chose to actually address the other male instead of pretending to be dreadfully drunk and flirting with the plant (Lex did so love embarrassing his father).

"Kaiba." Lex decided to start out simple, not sure if the other CEO would prefer English or Japanese.

Kaiba nodded but didn't say anything.

...Kaiba had to know Lex's name, right? Lex was practically infamous.

Lex tried again, adopting a bored drawl. "How are you failing to enjoy the party so far?"

"Thoroughly." A single word answer. Clearly, Kaiba was still as non-responsive as Lex remembered him as being from their last meeting.

With an inward sigh, deciding that pretending to talk to Kaiba was probably less entertaining than pretending to be drunk and hitting on a plant, Lex readied himself to exit the situation gracefully.

It was at that point that a third variable entered the situation in the form of Ryuuji Otogi, the CEO of Black Crown who was also said to be Kaiba's boyfriend. If Lex had had any doubts about the accuracy of that rumor, the way that Ryuuji threw an arm over Kaiba's shoulder and deftly turned him to turn Lex would have killed said doubts. Kaiba didn't like being touched, and to be touched in order to be manipulated was risking losing your job, your arm and your sanity, not necessarily in that order.

"Luthor-san!" Ryuuji greeted Lex with easy charm, holding out a hand in Western fashion even though he'd used the Japanese form of address. "Seto would have said a lot about you but as you know, he never talks, so I fear that you're going to have to fill me in on anything you think I should, such as which topics are strictly verboten in your illustrious company."

His smile was equal parts self-mockery and amusement, as if he was making a joke at both his expense and Lex's but inviting Lex to share the laughter. Kaiba's stiff posture hadn't changed a whit, even with Ryuuji leaning against him, now between Kaiba and Lex like a shield, but Lex noted that Kaiba didn't seem as withdrawn any longer. One of Kaiba's arms was wrapped possessively around Ryuuji's waist, who looked up at Lex with green eyes that were just a little too flirtatious for his smile to pass as a simple upward turn of his lips.

Lex returned the smile; Ryuuji, at least, would have to be more interesting than the plant.

And if he outraged his father by being seen with an openly gay couple, so much the better.
