1st_eggokageOkay so guys. Guys. I am bored. Henceforth, I declare this post...
THE GREAT AU/CRACKFIC/CROSSOVER MEME.
Instructions are as follows:
Step One:cut a hole in the box Suggest ideas for crossovers, crackfics, or AUs. Things like "the one where Ohmiya are Crowley and Aziraphale" or "the one where Cobra Starship gets turned into girls" or "the one where Pinto are 80s-buddy-cop-flick-style partners". (FEEL FREE TO REQUEST LIKE, ALL OF THOSE.)
Step Two: I tell you how it would go down and discussion ensues! Maybe it becomes a fic and maybe it doesn't.
Step Three: ???
Step Four: Profit!
HAVE FUN Y'ALL.
(Also look at my icon, isn't it amaziiiiiing. &cobras;)

Date: 2010-06-06 09:35 pm (UTC)Brendon is there on scholarship (music, full) and Spencer is there on scholarship (music, partial). They meet in jazz band. Ryan was there until he decided that he was not cut out for the craziness that is Juilliard so now he's working at a music store run by Patrick and mooning over Pete, the assistant manager. Jon goes to Pratt, but works part-time at Starbucks.
So, what happens is that Brendon and Spencer end up at Starbucks to study (and not drink coffee because Brendon is not allowed coffee after an incident freshman year) and Spencer is like "wow, that barista is hot." Brendon is like "sob I have to compose another piece for Katie Kay because she hated the last one we were doing can I get a scone pleasepleaseplease" and Spencer nods absentmindedly because, uh. Hot barista!
And then Ryan runs in, apologizing and waving to Jon because he knows Jon through William, who works in the music store with him and Spencer flails a lot while Brendon goes up to ask Jon what pastry he recommends.
Hijinks ensue, including lots of failed wooing attempts.

Date: 2010-06-06 10:11 pm (UTC)Okay, so, there is a Gabe. And Gabe has an airship! But he needs a crew for his great mission of... piracy. Or something. Nate is, of course, the first one Gabe recruits. He's the main mechanic guy that keeps the engines running. Alex&Ryland are a pair of entirely mad inventors with a veritable army of small, mostly useless robots. Elisa is a navigator that no one really trusts, but they need one and she's the only one available.
So they start out on their journey to wherever-the-fuck, but OH SNAP, they've barely made their first repair stop when Elisa completely screws them over and runs off with most of their money and supplies. And that is why you should never trust a ho. Luckily, this little town happens to be home to a lovely lady named Victoria, who our boys immediately fall in love with, because she is just that awesome. New navigator get!
...idk how TAI... fits into this but if I wrote it there would be Gabe/William and Butcher/Siska. \o/

Date: 2010-06-06 10:23 pm (UTC)ABOUT DON SAPORTA AND HIS FATEFUL MEETING WITH WILLIAM THE HOMELESS RENT BOY.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-06 10:45 pm (UTC)Our story begins in a city divided – a city at war. (See what I did there.) Various families have staked out their territory, but turf wars are a constant. These families probably include, like, the Ways (Frankie would be a terrifying hit man). Also, the Hushies own and operate some kind of speakeasy.
ANYWAY. The family we are concerned with here is la famiglia Cobra, Don Saporta's tiny, up-and-coming group of CRAZY MOTHERFUCKERS. Miss Victoria Asher is the don's consigliere and probably Ryland is the underboss. They are entirely too tiny a group to have a proper number of underlings, but Nate's a made man with a serious Fear The Quiet Ones thing going on, and Suarez might be their lawyer. Gabe's not even technically a don – if he was in an actual family he'd barely be a capo – but he's a motherfucking individualist and also a bit of a jerk, so he just calls himself that. All the other families are like, who is this bratty little upstart, let's just crush him now. But Gabe doesn't have a mafia background – he basically grew up in the fucking drug cartels of Uruguay. Bitch has ~connections~ and it's not that easy to just take him out. So the Cobras worm their way into the underworld with the intent to completely take over.
(The aforementioned Way family probably deserves a story of their very own, but suffice to say that they're the least evil mobsters in the history of forever and Gerard has his own plans that run along roughly the same lines as Gabe's.)
I don't know how, exactly, William ended up homeless and sucking dick for money – does it even matter? – but that is where he is. And it is not at all fun. And then one day some pimp beats him up for stealing his business? or something? and leaves him in an alleyway to DIE.
And that's where Don Saporta finds him.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-06 11:07 pm (UTC)But yeah, William was probably living on his own, barely able to pay rent in the shitty economy, and when he finally went flat broke and got evicted he just wandered around until someone offered him some quick cash and he decided "oh why not, what else am I supposed to do." God who are you Bill, Fantine.
...no, I will not factor his tiny daughter into this crapsack au, that would be terrible.ANYWAY. Shit goes down and he ends up in above alleyway and it is very depressing. But Gabe happens to be driving by and god, but that poor bleeding sap in the alley is pretty, and Gabe doesn't like it when people die and it's not at his command. Or something. Gabe logic.
So he takes Billvy home and fixes him up and Gabe is not entirely sure what to do with him now that he's conscious and not bleeding, but when he learns about William's situation Gabe decides to offer him a job. He needs underlings and Bill needs money, everyone wins!
William is not entirely sure about this whole mafia thing, especially since it's all these turf wars that are fucking up the city anyway, so they're partially responsible for his being broke and homeless in the first place, but Gabe doesn't seem like your regular money-grubbing thug. Well, he kind of is, but he's a nice enough thug, and having a regular paycheck sounds better than sucking dick and getting beaten up by passing pimps.
And that's how William got a new suit and fedorano subject
Date: 2010-06-06 11:30 pm (UTC)sdjfls FANTINE. /dies
Yes! Exactly. And then... somehow they fall in love? YOU FIGURE THAT PART OUT.
And I don't know how I'd fit the rest of TAI... in there, but Mike Carden deserves to be included at least.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-06 11:42 pm (UTC)YES BECAUSE I AM TOTALLY IN THE KNOW ABOUT THE LOVE PART :| Okay, okay so William starts off doing lowly little things like. Paperwork. But he kind of sucks at that so
Gabe has to take him to the shooting rangehe starts helping with negotiations, because he hasstage presencecharisma and does not go into an unhelpful rage as easily as Gabriel. And Gabe is very much taken in by his charms after seeing him work a few times, so William gets a much better paycheck and also a Gabe trying to crawl all over him constantly.TAI... is probably another little group trying to make its way into the mafia world, but they are tiny and not very connected, so when they lose one of their ranks (JWalk) and get even tinier, they finally give up and try to meld with Gabe's group. Gabe is always happy to hire more underlings, especially when one of them is nicknamed "the Butcher."

Date: 2010-06-07 12:03 am (UTC)(she's not, of course. she's seeing that gorgeous blonde lounge singer, and La Famiglia Cobra is made of GSF anyway, so it's an entirely moot point.)
lol they're probably not even that level, they're like, a street gang or something. And then Jon Walker goes off to join the circus or whatever the fuck, where does Panic fit into this.
HAHAHA UNTIL BUTCHER TURNS OUT TO BE. Y'KNOW. BUTCHER. WHAT WITH THE NAKED AND THE PAINTING AND THE BEING TOTALLY CHILL. And then someone threatens Sisky and he kills them dead. ♥
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 12:13 am (UTC)Panic totally runs a traveling circus that frequents this shitty city a lot since it's the only form of entertainment that isn't a speakeasy, so they make a killing every time they pass through. Well, "a killing" meaning a larger pile of pennies than usual, but that's the circus life for you.
BUT YEAH Butcher has the most misleading name in the universe so he just becomes a backup hit man. Whatever, Gabe doesn't need to kill too many people anyway, he's just happy to have more grunts.
Meanwhile William befriends all these new people and is wondering why Gabe glares at him jealously every time he decides to go out drinking with them.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 12:32 am (UTC)(VICTORIA'S COUSIN IS ALSO ALSO IN THIS CIRCUS. HE WEARS UNGODLY AMOUNTS OF EYESHADOW AND GLITTER AND GLITTERY EYESHADOW AND MAKES ALL THE BOYS FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM. Told you I'd get Adam in there somewhere.)
which is ALL THE TIME, lololol Billvy you complete lush. And he's totally oblivious at first to the fact that Gabe wants him, but then when he figures it out he's like, oh my god no what do I do. Like, yes, he wants Gabe too, but is he only here because Gabe is in the market for a fine piece of ass? What if Gabe gets tired of him? Also, if he says no is Gabe going to like, shoot him. BASICALLY ALL SIGNS POINT TO DANGER WILL ROBINSON, so William throws himself into DENIAL.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 12:59 am (UTC)And Ryan/Adam, god how sparkly would they beRIGHT, WILLIAM, William gets reeeally wary of Gabe once he gets the idea, and he's probably especially not comfortable with the whole idea of sexing up rich guys since the first Gabe saw of him was when he was still a rent boy. That's more than a little awkward.
But Gabe only has good intentions! Really! So he keeps trying, and his hint-dropping gets more and more obvious until he finally decides he needs to confront Bill with like. Words. Except as soon as he decides this, everyone suddenly starts getting busier, William needs to be at more meetings and when he's not
throwing piesmaking drug deals he's out drinking with the rest of TAI, and Gabe sulks a lot because he can't so much as wiggle an eyebrow at the object of his affection. HIS LIFE IS SO HARD, GUYS.no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 02:36 am (UTC)Exactly! He's still feeling a bit objectified here. How does he know Gabe means it. :(
Gabe is in love, okay? He's just bad at articulating this because WILLIAM IS COMPLICATED. And, like, Vicky-T notices that her boys are being idiots so she pulls Gabe aside and is like TALK TO HIM, and Gabe's like I CAN'T, OKAY, IT'S ALL GOING TO GO WRONG AND THIS IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER.
And then idk. SOMEONE DIES. OR MAYBE JUST GETS SHOT. SOMETHING DRAMATIC.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 02:52 am (UTC)And so Gabe hovers over him constantly and at some point William finally realizes hey, he actually does care about more than his nice
lack ofass. And there are really gentle ow-my-wound makeouts.And he gets better and all is well and they go on circus dates together. GOOD END.

You know at the beginning of Doctor Who season 3 when Donna just appears out of nowhere in the TARDIS and the Doctors like Wait wut?
WELL THIS TIME
IT'S SCOTTY.
Imagine his face when he sees the TARDIS?
Or you could use any one of the ST characters; every story would be different.
This is a drabble goldmine.

no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 04:27 am (UTC)Okay, so, TAI is playing a show... somewhere in Virginia, close-ish to Quantico but whatever. Aaaand they're just hanging out, right, at some bar after the show, because it's TAI and they are drunk always, and William steps outside for a smoke or something and gets KIDNAPPED. Because some dudes that have something to do with someone Reid caught years ago are all GRR REVENGE but it was dark, okay, they got the sexy leggy singer rather than the sexy geeky profiler.
Cue TAI freaking the fuck out. Luckily, the whole misunderstanding stemmed from the fact that the BAU team happened to be at the same bar at the same time! And so when the rest of the band freaks out because HELLO WE ARE MISSING A BILL BECKETT, the team is there to figure things out.
(The hard part is having to call Gabe.)
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 04:34 am (UTC)Seriously though, the BAU having to deal with terrified bandmates and also GABES? Hilarity.
Gabe probably finds out before they can think about calling him, like he tries to reach William but his phone's dead so he calls like. Sisky or someone and is all "dude tell Bill to charge his phone" and Sisky's just "uh he's kind of. busy. being kidnapped." and Gabe has to FLY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A BROKEN FACE.
And TAI has to calm Gabe down with lots and lots of liquor to keep him from breaking the wrong face at the wrong time. This just ends in him hitting on the real Reid.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 04:43 am (UTC)...CRYING, THERE ARE NO WORDS. Can you imagine Reid's face when he's got a drunk Gabe Saporta cozying up to him? IT IS BAD ENOUGH WHEN SCARY LADY HOOKERS TRY TO GET IN HIS PANTS, OKAY, MUCH LESS CREEPER-EYED VOCALISTS FOR MILDLY FAMOUS BANDS. And Gabe would have to be drunk because otherwise he'd be trying to find William himself and like, JJ is all THIS IS SORT OF OUR JOB WHY DON'T YOU LET US HANDLE IT OKAY?
(Garcia, of course, is a fangirl, and is trying not to swoon.)
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 04:48 am (UTC)But yeah the whole case is just one big exercise in keeping Gabe too drunk to stand so he doesn't end up stealing a shiny FBI gun and gunning down anyone who looks vaguely like a Bill-napper.
Except he does end up saving the day in the end. Somehow. While he's sober.
