Borrowed from every snowflake and their friend this week:

THREE SENTENCE AU MEME
Give me pairings (or characters). Give me an AU setting. I will write you a three-sentence fic.

I will also finally be responding to comments and getting down to work on the draft of xmenbigbang this morning. I have a week (and a clear outline, thankfully). Stranger miracles have happened. ;P

The story will follow the Brotherhood after the end of X-Men: First Class with background Charles/Erik, Erik/Raven, Azazel/Riptide, and Alex/Hank/Sean, but they're incidental to the story.

What are people's opinions on listing background character relationships when the movement is primarily gen?

Re: Mafia!AU; Adam, Zachariah

Unf, Adam with a razor never gets old. I love his interaction with Zachariah here - am I weird in that I kind of ship them? But then you know I ship Adam/everyone - and now I'm craving Mafia!AU that much more, if at all possible. Which it shouldn't be, tbh. WHERE ARE MY LIMITS, CHUCK???

Re: Mafia!AU; Adam, Zachariah

Lol, Adam/Everyone.... There are no limits.

Someone actually pointed out that Zachariah was to Adam what Castiel was to Dean; sure Castiel pulled Dean out of the ground, but I think Zachariah was the one who resurrected him and became the angel on Adam's shoulder; before stabbing him in the back. And I am not ageist, but I wasn't fond of his last vessel -- Zachariah himself is an ass XD -- so I wouldn't mind Adam/Zachariah if he were in a younger vessel. It would be spiteful and abusive. /would not mind this either

In this scene, Adam was pulled aside at the restaurant of 'The Host' where Zachariah is the Maître d' - but the fact the restaurant is also a front for Other Business is the subject of much dispute (and yes, it is owned by Michael). It is an ACTUAL and known fact that Adam is the illegitimate son of the Police Commissioner - but I'm thinking of changing it to Captain of the local precinct, which is why Zachariah pulls him aside in the restaurant.

Mafia!AU /= Prison!AU, but I love to romp in both. I'd prefer to write Prison!AU in snippets, I think it'll work best that way, but Mafia!AU will get the full treatment.

After XBB. XD

I think I know who you're talking about! I'm going to spell her username wrong, so I won't even try with code (smargbrd? something like that?), but she wrote some wonderful Adam/Zachariah fics and told me they were Destiel 2.0, lol.

I agree, I feel they would be a very twisted couple, but half the fun is exploring how twisted, no? One of my WIPs has side Adam/Zachariah that eventually metamorphoses to Adam/Lucifer and he's still pretty terrible, personality-wise, in it, but I can see them happening, no matter how bad the outcome. Although, I second you on the new vessel thing. Another person said Matt Bomer should be Zachariah revamped, which I honestly wouldn't think of opposing. ;D

Every glimpse I get into your head, I'm more and more tempted to look into permanent real estate. Whatever you do with these two AUs, it'll be a thrilling ride, I can already tell. ♥

Matt Bomer!Zachariah. You know how to win me over, don't you? :3 Maybe I should go and read these Adam/Zachariah fics after all... I'm pretty sure you're right and it was smaragdbird leading the charge on that 'ship (go, you good thing).

You are welcome to stay any time, my darling. ♥

Alas, they're not nearly long enough. A couple oneshots, if I remember correctly, but I prompted zekkas with Zach/Adam, too, so... \0/

Matt Bomer!Zach sounds unf. Even though Bomer was/is my personal for new human!Lucifer, and Zach is Marc Warren.

And yep it's smaragbird who writes them. (She wrote me suit near porn. I cannot forget that.)

Re: Mafia!AU; Adam, Zachariah

[ladyknightanka.livejournal.com]

I can see Marc Warren, too. And I think I read the suit porn! Yum. :D

Re: Mafia!AU; Adam, Zachariah

[nights-fang.livejournal.com]

Marc Warren TBH, would do Zach's bastardry with such beauty. (My bias. Let me show it to you.) Also Brit Accent!

though I wouldn't say no to Gabriel Macht off late. But that might be my Suits thing kicking in.

Re: Mafia!AU; Adam, Zachariah

[ladyknightanka.livejournal.com]

Gabriel Macht? Hnn, I definitely would not be opposed to that. :d

Re: Mafia!AU; Adam, Zachariah

[nights-fang.livejournal.com]

He'd be so yummy as Zachariah. So very yummy. (Also I am picturing Macht saying the erotically co-dependent line, and hnn it sounds hot.)

Re: Mafia!AU; Adam, Zachariah

[ladyknightanka.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yes, I concur. :D
