Nonexistent stories meme

[resonant]

Taken from ellen_fremedon:

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you several sentences from that story.

I love this meme. It's like getting to wander through the Slash Annex of the Library of Babel.

[edited to change the terms of the meme, because apparently I'm incapable of sticking to "between one and three sentences" unless I write torturously long and complicated sentences with an illegal number of semicolons]

Does this literally mean a story you haven't written, any story? Because if so I'd love sentence(s) from the one where Steve and Tony have been fucking, being all, "hey, we're fuck buddies for logical reasons!" but both think it's temporary/not serious and are wistful/pining about that, but they're actually both in love.

Or anything at all from any story about them you haven't written yet. <333

That's what I'm taking it to mean, yes!

the one where Steve and Tony have been fucking, being all, "hey, we're fuck buddies for logical reasons!" but both think it's temporary/not serious and are wistful/pining about that, but they're actually both in love.

Oh, I love stories like that.

Tony did that strange thing again, that thing where he flopped down beside Steve afterwards, still flushed and sweaty, and gave him a brilliant grin -- and then rolled over on his back, scooting away just far enough that they weren't touching anywhere, and turned his grin at the ceiling.

Steve wondered, again, what would happen if he just rolled after him, swung himself into Tony's arms and laid his head on Tony's shoulder, but it was a ridiculous question. No one in their right mind would expect Tony Stark to cuddle.

[cathalin]

I thought you might! <3 Me, too.

Ahhhhhhhhh.

Thank you, perfect. I love the idea of them keeping this perfect two inches or whatever of space between them. :DD

[pun]

Sorry. Reply fail!

[cathalin]

Hee, no worries, loved your prompt also. <3

[gurrier]

I'd love to see some of what happens after Vimes returns to Ankh-Morpork after Pseudopolis - particularly Sybil's side of the story!

[resonant]

Not quite a fair test, as I've had an unfinished sequel sitting on my hard drive since [checks date last modified] -- huh, July -- I thought it had been longer ago than that. The working title is "In Which Willikins Requests A Day Off." But I have no idea when/if it might be finished.

But she also couldn't just offer him what she knew perfectly well that he wanted. That would get a lot of claptrap about the loose morals of the aristocracy (true but irrelevant). She wasn't going to turn a blind eye to a husband's dalliance like a proper lady; she simply thought she -- and Ankh-Morpork -- would breathe easier to the extent that Sam Vimes got more love rather than less.

Also, it presented a deliciously amusing and poignant image to her imagination. And she herself would undoubtedly need indulgence at some point in the future.

And possibly there would be a way to get pictures.

[gurrier]

Eeeeee! The mere thought of more Discworld fic puts a huge smile on my face.

I love Sybil's thought process. She's thought of everything!

*heart explodes with joy*

[ellen_fremedon]

The one where Steve Rogers meets Captain Jack Harkness in 1941, and then again in 2011?

[resonant]

OK, my jaw literally dropped there. What an amazing idea.

I'm pretty clueless on Torchwood, but will endeavor to learn enough, between now and tomorrow, to do this prompt some kind of justice.

Then maybe somebody who's knowledgeable will write an actual story?

[ellen_fremedon]

I don't have the Marvelverse knowledge to write it myself-- hence the prompt *g*. But, yeah, I would love to see someone write this story.

[fox]

SO WOULD I

I HAVE BEEN VERY, VERY GOOD THIS YEAR

[ellen_fremedon]

You have! You deserve this story!

[james]

I'd like to see the one where Steve wakes up in what appears to be Victorian England and Tony's got an accent and a new obsession with detective work.

[resonant]

As the carriages rolled by on the street below, Steve took deep breaths and tried to think who he could find to answer questions.

Was it possible to sleep decades away backward? Was he going to have to get used to yet another improbable style of underwear?

And was it just his imagination that Tony's roommate was a little bit proprietary?

[james]

Excellent! I will be happy to beta the 20k beast when you write it all. ;-)

[cesperanza]

I want the one in which John Sheppard is captured by aliens and put in a sensory isolation booth for too long and is almost happy for a while until he cracks up.

[riverlight]

I second this. :)

[resonant]

The worst thing -- the very worst, worse than wraith who weren't there and freaky dreams involving sex with people he hated and the persistent feeling that he had a tail and that it itched terribly -- was that everything was beginning to smell of buttered popcorn.

[tygermama]

What about the one where Lestrade and Molly finally get through their dinner date Sherlock-free?

[laurenthemself]

The one where Ron and Hermione take turns being Harry via polyjuice for each other.

[ecaterin]

.......... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! *runs away screaming*


I don't know why that is so disturbing to me! o.0

[resonant]

... actually I find that really sexy.

"No, no, that's wrong. Wait a moment. Let me start again. It's more like this." She altered her posture again, tried to center her focus, took two steps -- and ruined everything, again, when the glasses fell down her nose. How on earth did he keep them on his face? "Sorry. I'm sorry. Let me --"

"Hermione --" Ron scrubbed his hands over his face. "It isn't a film. You don't get another take."

[laurenthemself]

XD

Thank you!

[pun]

You did not write a story with Sherlock repeatedly spying on John having sex until John finally does something to let Sherlock know that he knows that Sherlock is watching, and they need to just have sex with each other already.

[resonant]

saathi1013 did, here, and it's very hot if you like Sherlock/John/Sarah.

However, fandom can never have too much of Sherlock not being quite as clever as he thinks he is.

-----

The only reason John didn't catch on sooner was because he was surprised that Sherlock bothered to be stealthy at all. If he'd ever imagined Sherlock taking an interest in John having it off with a Java programmer with a purple streak in her hair, he'd have assumed Sherlock would just open the bedroom door and walk right in, possibly carrying a chair. In fact, he'd warned her of the possibility.

[runpunkrun]

Excellent! The chair particularly, and that John warned his partner of it.

I'm not sure which of your stories you haven't written I like more-- there's the one where Steve discovers, somewhat to his shock, that Tony has a bunch of baby engineers and students that worship him because he's been none to swing by a lab, find someone working there -maybe even just an intern or a work experience kid- and start talking to them, then spend the next few weeks casually, easily helping them work through their project or studies or whatever, just "hey, you still having problem with that unaccounted heatloss? I've booked some time on the StarkSuperComputer, we can get some pizza and vodka and work through what the fuck is happening with the carbon-layers."

Or the one where Eames discovers that Arthur, though he doesn't like to talk about it, and can't forge worth a damn in dreams, is actually a shapeshifter in real life-- something that really only his family, a couple childhood friends, Dom, Mal, James and Phillipa Cobb know.
