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?

Lucifer/Adam; Teacher/Student!AU: Adam is not the model student they said he'd be

Well, far be it for me to stop you. ;]

-----

Adam Milligan is not the modest, well-mannered student Headmaster Joshua said he would be, and Lucifer wonders if the wrong person was transferred into his class, because Adam has been nothing but a back-talking menace since he sidled into Lucifer’s ancient history class a week ago and dropped his bag on the desk beside Jimmy Novak; every time Adam opens his mouth, Lucifer expects to see Dean Winchester when he turns to silence the kid's commentary.

When the red laser light refracts off different surfaces in the classroom that afternoon, it takes Lucifer half a second to stifle his awe at the rosy glow that fills the air, obscuring his lesson on the whiteboard, and he whirls just in time to see Adam pocket the laser pointer in his sleeve with a poorly hidden smile; “Milligan, detention after school today.”

The class rouses with a chorus of whoops and jeers, calling Adam out for finally getting caught, but Adam just sits back in his chair, his smile turning smug and conceited – challenge accepted – and Lucifer has to remind himself that Adam was just another stupid kid, so there was no reason to worry at that look.

I flailed on twitter, and then LJ loaded so I will flail at you here too. I love, love, love, love this. Adam and all his deviousness and I'd never thought I'd say it, but poor, poor Lucifer.

Thank you, I'm so glad you loved it! Adam may not initially match his reputation, but he'd be in for a nasty (better?) surprise come detention because, even in this 'verse, Lucifer humours no fools.

I loooooove this! Mischievous Adam, floundering Lucifer, the passing mention of Dean being a former troublemaker in the same class - all of it - burns with the passion of a million suns, inside me! That's a detention session I'm definitely intrigued about. :D

Thank you, bb! ^^ Dean IS half the reason Adam acts up at school. The sweet kid is in there, too, though I'm not sure how long it would take for him to let down the tough new kid exterior and let people in on the secret. That detention session would probably be less trouble than Lucifer expects. ;]

That only intrigues me MORE, tbh. Ah, the different aspects that make up Adam, from curious blends of his brothers to a person all his own. It's such a fun playground with nearly limitless opportunities.
