the wrong end of the telescope

Title: This Is The New Year
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing(s): Alex/Darwin, Charles/Erik, Raven/Irene Adler
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1083
Warnings: None.
Summary: Five things that may or may not have happened on Leap Year Day. Or on a beach during a Leap Year.
Author¨s notes: Sometimes you need something short and sweet. This ficlet makes no promise of adhering to any sensible calendar. Or to the movie canon post XMFC, except perhaps a little bit. Also, it's not just about marriage, because I like the idea of Leap Year Day bringing about change (as opposed to the idea that women are only allowed to propose one year out of four, what even is that, sigh).

( Five things that may or may not have happened on Leap Year Day. )

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

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.
