[challenge] The Whatever-I-Feel-Like Challenge

[ajremix]

So it looks like I'll most likely be stuck on jury duty for the majority of all next week (if i get past the selection process tomorrow but i can't think of a viable reason why i can't be impartial or available and i'm too honest to lie in this situation- fuck me) NO JURY DUTY FOR ME! ROCK ON!

But (continue to) have a general prompt/challenge thingy anyway. I can't decide if I want to do one-sentence, drabble or sketches so I'm just going to wing it.

Give me a character and a prompt (one prompt per person until your prompt is filled, please) and then I'll write/draw/whatever strikes my fancy in response.

Fandoms:

DCU (mainly jli, comics-yj and batfamily, but i'll attempt the glc, secret six, flashfamily and bop)
Transformers (G1/early IDW) (ps- if you want idw's wreckers, please specify otherwise i'll default to my own characterization)
My Little Pony: FiM
Star Wars: RepCom
One Piece (pre-time skip i'm more comfortable with)
Eureka (the earlier, the more familiar)
Discworld (mainly the watch, but i'll give the others a go)
Ultimate Spider-Man
Red vs Blue
A Song of Ice and Fire

Or anything else you know I like and am still familiar with.

CHALLENGE CLOSED SO I CAN HANG OUT WITH VISITING FRIENDS Thanks all <3!

Bruce and Cass - Upside down and head first

[idiosyn.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever used a jumpline?"

There was a long pause and Bruce repeated the question, this time pantomiming it with his grapple. Cassandra stared silently for a moment before nodding her head.

"Have you done so from this high?" He asked, indicating the building's height towering over the street.

She shook her head.

Experience had taught Bruce that everyone took swinging from buildings differently. Dick merely took a few tentative jumps before he took to it as naturally as he did the trapeze. Barbara and Jason had to work up to it, but they were both fearless on the line. Tim needed the most coaxing just to get over the vertigo before he even made his first jump (as did Bruce himself, to be honest). Bruce didn't think Cassandra would have as difficult a time, but he wasn't certain how exactly he could teach someone that couldn't really understand his words.

So he went through his default explanation, but using his body to demonstrate form and procedure as best he could. Then he took Cassandra to the edge of the roof and pointed out what kind of architecture would be best to use- with her mass, she had a lot more options than Bruce did.

When he explained all he could think to explain, he asked her, "Do you understand?" She cocked her head to the side, then nodded.

Then she dove off the building head first.

"Wait!" Bruce didn't think, just dove off after her (in retrospect, it was stupid thing to do as there was no way he could've caught her like that).

Halfway down the building, Cassandra's arm snapped out and a grapple fired at a gargoyle across the street. She arced gracefully above the night lights, twisting upward to crouch on the ledge of the roof. She moved just as fluidly and naturally as Dick did and that surprised Bruce so much he nearly forgot to fire his own line.

When he swung up to the roof next to Cassandra, he stared down at her somewhere between shocked and impressed. She just stared back up at him, patiently waiting for the next lesson.

A little awkwardly, Bruce patted her shoulder. "Um, well done."

Beneath her mask, she beamed.

Oh, very nice! *savors and appreciates ficlet for a few moments* Anyone causing Bruce to stumble like that is a thing of beauty and a joy that Dick would appreciate and snicker about forever, did he know.

Hmm. Transformers G1/IDW fusionish kind of thing: "Spike first meets the Wreckers. And vice versa."

The reminds me- I should probably put a clarification at the top about how unspecified Wreckers will automatically be MY version of the Wreckers, shouldn't I? Just in case someone prompts that isn't familiar with mine...

Spike didn't know what to think. On one hand, Autobots were rarely such massive military vehicles. On the other hand, they were blowing up everything that was Decepticon. The green helicopter dropped down and transformed, holding his hand out to the hostages and said, "Take my hand if you want to live."

Spike knew, without a doubt, that these had to be Autobots. Only they could be so cheesy during a rescue.

Wait, there are Wreckers that aren't your Wreckers? :)

Seriously, yours are completely and totally my headcanon because you write them so awesome.

(And cheesy.)
