Is the world ending? Who's gonna throw the party?

[harborshore]

*peers out from under her thesis-shaped rock* So I hear there's a volcano? In Iceland? Doing things? This is nuts, you guys. It doesn't seem like anyone has died, and I hope I haven't gotten that wrong. All planes are canceled in Stockholm and the air space is closed, because apparently it's incredibly dangerous to fly through volcanic ash. Here's hoping it stops soon, because danger and chaos and the ashes being potentially lethal for people who are seriously ill and they're coming right at us, guys, they're already over Sweden. CRAZY. Also, I'm supposed to leave for the US in a month and I want to see my little sister graduate. It's an extremely minor concern in the grand scheme of things, but I love my sister a lot and I want to be there. And compared to the Haiti earthquake and the Chile one, this is decidedly minor. Obviously. Still, a little nuts.

So. I would like to offer ficlets, because I want to think about other things. I'm going to do the first five prompts I like, which may or may not be the first five that appear, because what I can write right now is a little limited.

Theme: post- or pre-apocalyptic scenarios WITH HOPE. Interpret that as you will. Pairings or gen are fine. Bands/fandoms I can write: Mikey, FOB, Bob and Brian (they're a subset of fandom, right?), The Like, Panic/The Young Veins (even if my Jon voice is nonexistent), MSI, others possibly. I can also do Veronica Mars, DCU or BTVS, though the last two feel like cheating since it's not like they've never done the apocalypse thing before.

Prompt away!

ETA: I am done! Five, er, seven ficlets.

Bob/Brian; When the birds come back.

*rustles the thesis morale support pom poms*

Bob/Brian UST (and the RST)? :D :D

Pete/Patrick. Pete and Patrick stumble across a group of fortified, thriving humans after the holocaust of the zombie pandemic. It's run by the Way brothers and its almost as weird as the wasteland outside the walls. Naturally they fit right in.

patrick & mikey (gen), the day before the world ends.

considering i kinda feel like i'm boiling in my part of the world, i'm connecting with apocalypse fic on a whole new level.

here's hoping things are less crazy where you are soon. *crosses fingers*

Bob/Patrick, post-apocalyptic roommates?

Also, all flights are cancelled in the UK at the moment! It's craziness!

I read that sentence as 'post- or pre-apocalyptic scenarios WITH ROPE' and this is the prompt I choose to pay attention to. Whereabouts in the DCU are you happy to write? Can you give me some Robins and rope in an ice age? :D?

HI YOU. ♥ If it pleases you, I would like a post-split Ryan/Spencer apocalyptic story where Spencer doesn't know where Ryan is. :D?

Bob/Brian - Brian organising and packing for the upcoming apocalypse.

Bob/Veronica Mars, Post-apocalyptic detective-y shenanigans?

Like girls, finding each other after separation in a broken world!

This icon has never felt more appropriate. *snicker*

Bob/Brian and the first signs of spring after the world ends.

PS. Gabe's throwing the party! I'm not so sure that basement is safe, though. :T

How do I always miss these? *despairs*

Oh well. *settles down to read*
