mirror in the sky (prompts post)

[harborshore]

Because my WIPs are either full of brooding mutants or dramatic musicians.

Stolen from torakowalski. ♥

Below are some fandom cliches taken from the tropes meme that went around a while ago. Pick one and give me a pairing (and some details if you want) and we'll see what I can come up with.

Preferred fandoms are: X-Men: First Class, Bandom (you lot know what I write), BTVS, DCU and Veronica Mars but I'm open to others as well. AU and genderfuck prompts are always more than welcome.

Each trope can only be picked once; pairings and fandoms can be re-used.

1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School / College AU

ETA: 3 left! Genderswap, historical AU, and HS/college AU.

Steph/Cass, apocalypse fic. :D

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

Steph picks her way through the rubble, listening for cries or shifts or anything to indicate she should be digging for people. Her ribs hurt from where she fell last night when the storm finally dropped her, but she's mostly okay. Mostly. She doesn't know where Babs is, she doesn't know where Tim is, she doesn't have a way to get in touch with anyone, but she's going to get through tonight. And the day after that.

At least she found her mom, and stashed her safely at the hospital that Leslie's running out of an old factory. Just a broken leg. Lucky, really. The storms have been doing much worse things to most people. Diana claims it must be god-driven, and Steph is beginning to think she must be right. If anyone would recognize that, it'd be the princess.

She tries to be upset that Diana hadn't picked her for that let's-go-kick-someone's-ass patrol, but she's probably doing more good here, and it's not like she has much to contribute if they're fighting gods. And someone has to clean up the cities that are falling down. LA, New York, Chicago, Gotham--Metropolis is probably next, but Lex Luthor's apparently holding the fort there and evacuating people as fast as he can. Even villains are good for something, it seems.

South America's covered, thank fuck, and while no one can get into China, Donna went to Delhi with Kara to see if they could help over there. The magical storm started here, but there's no telling it won't go elsewhere next. Steph isn't used to thinking globally, but with both Tim and Barbara gone and Bruce out of commission, her and Dick are it. And Damian, but he's a little young yet for this kind of decision-making.

She's tired, is the point, and going through the remains of houses and trying not to think is about all she can do. And then there's a touch at her elbow and she turns, half-ready to strike except not, because she knows that hand, she knows that touch, and there was one person she wasn't even letting herself think about because what if, what if, and--

"Cass," she says, and buries her face in her hair.

Cass doesn't say anything, but the way her hand curves around Steph's neck, the way she steps in close and holds on, oh. Steph can't breathe.

"You're here," she says stupidly, pulling away a little.

"Of course," Cass says. "I--of course. The world might end." The where else would I go? is unspoken, but Steph can hear it.

"I'm glad," she says. "So glad. You don't even know."

"I do know," Cass says, smiling a little and running a hand over Steph's face. "Your body is saying it."

"Right," Steph says, grinning. "I forgot you could do that." And then, because she can't actually help herself sometimes, she steps in closer and tilts Cass' chin up. "What is it saying now?"

"Kiss me," Cass says, and Steph does.

*HIGH PITCHED SQUEAKS OF JOY* THIS IS SO GREAT. Diana would OBVIOUSLY be the best person to be in charge of the apocalypse, god related or no. Lex, working to evacuate people! And Steph and Cass, fighting together to the very end! ♥ ♥ ♥

I want Diana in charge of me, if you know what I mean. And everything else as well. ("What turns you on, princess?" "Justice." might be the best two lines of dialogue ever.) I'm so glad you liked it! Steph and Cass will ALWAYS find each other. (Oh, plot of my abandoned-but-not-forgotten ladiesbigbang.)
