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?

*loves on* This is definitely close to what I wanted, and is excellent reading and picturing, so \o/

I'm glad you liked it! Feel free to give more direction if inclined -- ladyknightanka suggested Matt Bomer would be a nice stand-in for a younger vessel of Zachariah's; I must agree. He can stand in for anyone he likes, any time he wants, in my books.

If I can shake off the White Collar reminders, then yes, he fits absolutely. Dark brown/black hair, fine looks - yes. Zach with the same personality but him as an actor would have been slashed a ton.

I'd love to see Matt Bomer in a dark and sadistic role, but I'd also like to consider alternative younger vessels who wear the bald (or shorn) look really well.

I'd say the guy who plays Captain Sisko in Star Trek: DS9, but...

Re: Office!AU, younger-vessel!Zachariah/Dean

But he's Sisko. He's like, sacred. :P

I don't know many bald acto-

Picard. Duuuh.

...except he's also sacred. Dangit.

Stop picking our sacred Captains.

John Statham? Hmm, no. Will consider when I'm not running around doing chores. ;D

Maybe we need a military cut? And also - he doesn't have to be bald. My mental image is still the black haired/dark brown haired look.
