AU Fic Round-Up!

[museofspeed]

I've got a few more to do, and I'm still (always) open for new prompts! Here, if you're interested. Also, many of these might be continued.

Title: Morning
Fandom: Justice League
Characters: Booster/Beetle
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Genderswap verse

Teddi was not a morning person.

Michelle was.

So Teddi wasn't surprised to wake up alone and smell pancakes.

She pulled on a bathrobe and stumbled out to the kitchen.

"Mgmph," she said.

"Hey, hun!" Michelle said, bouncing over to her with a spatula. She pecked Teddi on the cheek. "How'd you sleep."

"Coffee," Teddi remarked.

"Of course," Michelle said, grabbing a mug. "Got it just the way you like it."

"You're the best, Gold," Teddi said, taking a gulp.

"Don't I know it," Michelle said. "You're going to the office again?"

"Kord Industries won't run itself! You going to be a corporate whore again?"

"You wouldn't have me any other way, baby."

"Just don't accept the Queen Industries advertisement deal no matter how much Olivia offers. She's trying to buy me out."

"Sure, babe. I got a better deal, anyway. Some record company wants me to be in a music video."

"You can't sing!"

"Don't tell them that."

Teddi finished her pancakes and ran to take a shower. She pulled her clothes on and popped back into the kitchen.

"I'm off," she said. "Later, Goldie." She kissed Michelle on the cheek.

"Bye, Teddi," Michelle said. "Hey, I traded with Gal, I'm keeping you company on monitor duty tonight."

"Oh yeah? I'm thinking we won't get much monitoring done..."

"But it'll be more fun for both of us!" Michelle giggled. "Go make money."

"Bye," Teddi said with a grin. She grabbed her briefcase and ran out the door. It was pretty cool having the best, hottest, funniest wife in the world.


Title: Sexy Vampires
Fandom: Young Justice
Characters: Bart, Tim, Kon
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Gothic Vampire Novel
Notes: You have to check out Vampyre and the sequel Zhombies of London if you want amazing vampire AU fanfic. They're by girl_starfish, and they are what inspired me to write AUs in the first place.

Conner jolted awake when he heard a scream coming from the other room.

He bolted out of bed and dashed into Bart's room.

Bart was thrashing madly, and a strange man with a cape was crouched over him.

"Get away!" Conner shouted, leaping at the man.

The man turned, and Conner had a glimpse of red blood, yellow teeth, shockingly blue eyes before the man was gone and a bat was flying out the window.

"Was that...oh, Bart!" Conner touched Bart's neck. There were two red holes in it. "Bart, you've been hurt!"

"I'm okay," Bart giggled. "It was kinda cool. All weird and sexy."

Conner blinked. "Sexy?" the few survivors of vampire attacks had said they'd been left feeling giddy and almost drunk.

"Yeah, he was nice. Said he'd just take a little an' leave cuz he didn't wanna kill me or anything."

"You're delirious. Vampires don't have the moral compass to not kill people. It only stopped because I showed up."

"Drake."

"What?"

"That was his name. Drake."

"I'm sure it was. Look, I'm not going to leave you alone now. It isn't safe."

"Mmkay," Bart said, grinning. He moved over in the bed. "Cuddle?"

"Don't be ridic - "

Bart pouted.

Kon rolled his eyes. "Fine," he said, slipping under the covers.

Bart curled up next to him and was asleep in an instant.



Title: Peace and Quiet
Fandom: Batman
Characters: Cass, Tim
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Cass and Tim during World War II. Tim comes home after being away at war.

"Go back to Asia, you Jap!" A boy shouted. Cass ignored him. He wasn't the first person to accuse her, and he wouldn't be the last.

Tim, though, glared at him. Only Cass' tight grip on his arm stopped him from attacking the boy.

"It's...usual," Cass muttered. "Don't respond."

"Cass, he can't do that to you! I mean, you're not a spy! You're not even Japanese!"

Cass shrugged. "Still. Won't help."

That's when one of the boys threw a rock.

Tim was in front of the boy and shaking him before Cass could stop him.

"Look, you. I've been in the trenches for three years. I've just got home and I want some damn peace. If she was a spy, she could have killed you before that stone had hit the ground. Now leave her alone before I show you exactly what life was like on the front lines."

Cass pulled him off. "Let it go," she said. "Not worth it."

Tim reluctantly followed her. "I just can't stand to see them treat you like that. We both know you could take those guys."

Cass just shrugged.

Tim shook his head. "I guess I'd just built America up so much in my memories that now that it isn't perfect, I'm disappointed."

"Sorry," Cass said.

"Not your fault," Tim said. "God, I don't know. It was hard enough losing Allen and Kent. I just...I don't want to see anyone else I love hurt in any way."

Cass smiled and touched his shoulder. "I'm here," she said. "It's okay."

Tim smiled. "Yeah, thanks, Cass."


Title: Girl Wonder
Fandom: DCU
Characters: Cissie/Cassie
Rating: PG
Prompt: Cassie as Batman's sidekick, not Wonder Woman's.

"Hey, Arrowette," Cassie said.

Cissie jumped. "Robin, I told you not to sneak up on me!"

"Sorry," Cassie said, not looking apologetic at all. "Habit."

"You enjoy it," Cissie accused.

Cassie shrugged. "Maybe a little. But hey, if I can't use Batman's tricks to pick up girls, what's the point?"

Cissie smiled. "I don't know how you put up with him," she said. "He terrifies me."

"He's okay when you get used to him," Cassie said. "And being Robin is really, really cool. Just wish I could tell Mom about it."

"Trust me, it is not cool having your mother in on your superheroics activities."

Cassie grinned. "Guess not. Still, Argonaut does it, and his dad doesn't mind."

"But Tim isn't as secretive as you. I don't even know your real name and we've been dating for three months!"

"You know I'd tell you if I could."

"Batman?"

"Batman," Cassie confirmed. "That he let me show you guys my real face was a lot."

"Still, 'Alice Draper'? Did he really think any of us would think that's really your name? You don't look anything like an Alice!"

"I know, I know," Cassie said. "Look, I bug him almost constantly to let me tell at least you."

"I guess that'll have to do," Cissie said.

Cassie put an arm around her, letting the cape fall from her shoulder. "If I ever do get the go-ahead to tell people, you'll be the first to know. Promise."

Cissie smiled. "Yeah, I know. I just wish I knew who you really are."

"Cissie, you do know who I really am. My name's hardly going to change that." She kissed Cissie's cheek. "I'm your girlfriend. And that's the important thing."


Title: Can't Hold his Liquor
Fandom: Justice League
Characters: Booster, Beetle, Guy
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Justice Riders!

"To us," Beetle said, raising his glass.

"Yes, to us," Booster said. "Best damn partnership around."

"Indeed," Beetle said. "I'm so glad - " he was interrupted by a girlish squeal.

"Sakes alive, you're the Baltimore Kid!" a lady said. "Oh, Mr. Gardner, it's such an honor!"

Guy Gardner was indeed sitting at the bar.

Beetle and Booster made eye contact. "Let's get out of here," they said together.

They stood up and started walking towards the entrance.

"Hey, you two!" Gardner shouted.

Booster and Beetle froze as all eyes fell on them.

"Mr. Gold and Mr. Beetle, ain't it? I'd recognize that silly hat of yours anywhere, Mr. Beetle."

"Told you to leave the damn hat at home," Booster muttered.

"Look, Mr. Gardner," Beetle said. "We don't know where Kid Flash is anymore'n you do. Probly, we know less."

"Don't matter. He been and gone from court. Got declared not guilty." Guy scowled. "I dunno what those Eastern courts are like, but I don't buy it."

"Oh," Beetle said. "Then what did you want with us?"

"Can't a man bid two old friends hullo?"

"We're friends?" Booster said blankly. Beetle kicked him.

"Course we are, course," Gardner said. "What're you two doing around here anyway?"

"Selling weapons," Beetle said.

"Vacationing," Booster said at the same time. They looked at each other.

"Vacationing," Beetle said.

"Selling - " Booster looked at Beetle. "Selling weapons on vacation."

"That don't make a lick of sense, but I'm drunk enough not to question you," Gardner said. "C'mon, lemme buy you two a drink."

Booster and Beetle looked at each other, alarmed. They really, really wanted to get away from Gardner as fast as they could. He was kind of scary.

"Gold can't hold his liquor!" Beetle blurted out.

"Really?"

Booster glared at Beetle. "Yeah, can't hold it at all. Really terrible."

Gardner laughed. "Go on, you two." He turned to one of the barmaids. "Now, you said your name was Tora?"

"Don't even think about it," the other barmaid warned.

Booster turned to Beetle as they left the bar. "You think he reckoned we're screwing?"

Beetle shrugged. "Sure hope not, Booster. Sure hope not."


Title: Honorable Young Samurais of Justice
Fandom: Young Justice
Characters: Tim/Bart, Young Justice
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Ancient Japan
Notes: I know very little about ancient Japan. Consequently...crack.

"Honorable Young Samurais of Justice!" Robin said, "There is a threat against the Empress."

"The Empress?" the honorable Slobo said. "We have sworn our lives to protecting her."

"Indeed," Cassie the Girl of Wonders said. "If anything were to happen to her, we would surely all fall on our swords in shame."

"Hi guys, what's up?" Bart said, strolling into the room.

The Young Samurais of Justice glared at him.

"What did I do, most Honorable Teammates?"

Cissie, Mistress of Arrows shook her head. Bart just didn't get it. It was whispered by dishonorable gossips that the only reason Bart was still in the group despite his lack of gravity was that he was the consort of the Most Honorable Robin. "There is a grave threat to the Empress, Impulsive One."

"Oh, oh, that's bad," Bart said. "Uh, so we need to protect her, right?"

Robin beckoned Bart to his side. Bart knelt beside him. "Indeed, we do," he said. "We shall set watch upon the throne room. Secret and Cissie shall hold the first watch. Come, Bart. I need you to help me...strategize."

He stood up, and Bart followed him to his chamber.

The rest of the group watched them silently.

"We need a new leader," Cassie said finally.


Title: Got an Impulse
Fandom: Young Justice
Characters: Bart Allen, Conner Kent
Rating: PG
Prompt: Tangent universe Young Justice

Bart sat on top of the billboard drinking his Impulse Cola.

The Cola had a picture of Conner Kent, the all-American Superboy.

It was the same picture as the one on the billboard. Conner Kent, the Kansas Kid, the perfect, wholesome boy who everyone loved.

Bart didn't love him. Not at all.

Kent could probably get away with anything. If Bart's face was that pretty, he could too.

Bart took another sip of his Cola, grimacing a little. It wasn't that good, but it was cheap, and if you mixed it with just the right chemicals it was highly explosive.

Kind of like Bart.

He opened his bag and grabbed the mixture he needed and poured it in. Then he set the bottle down and climbed down to the ground.

He was already several blocks away when the sign blew up.

Bart smirked.

He didn't need to have a sweet, innocent face like Kent's to get away with things. He went where he wanted and did what he pleased.

And his impulses were more fun than any damn soda.


Title: You Wouldn't Want to get Between them Either.
Fandom: Marvel/DCU
Characters: Slobo, Deadpool, Bart, Kon, Weasel.
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Slobo and Deadpool fighting.

"I will frag you, you bastich!" Slobo hollered, swinging his chains as he leaped at Deadpool.

"...I don't know what that means, but it sounds kinky!" Deadpool said, dodging Slobo's chain and shooting at him. "You should know that despite what certain writers (and yes, I'm talking about you Ms. Nagin if that is your real name and I know it isn't) think, I'm straight."

"You can't understand what I'm sayin'? Have you listened to yerself?" Slobo ignored the few bullets that hit him and tried to kick Deadpool's legs out from under him.

"Nope! If I were to listen to what I'm saying, I'd go insane!"

"You aren't already?"

"Maybe!"

Slobo punched Deadpool, breaking his jaw. "Try talking now," he said.

"That'd be more effective if I stayed hurt," Wade said, cracking his jaw back into place and wincing as it healed.

"I can break it again, bastich."

"I could break yours."



Nearby, Bart and Kon and Weasel.

"Should we break them up?" Bart wondered.

"No," Weasel and Kon said together.

"Wade has explosives," Weasel explained.

"Slobo is explosive," Kon said.

"In any case, best not to interrupt," Weasel said.

"Slobo's pretty unhurtable," Kon said. "He'll be okay."

"And Deadpool's surived beheading," Weasel said.

"So they'll both be all right," they concluded.

Bart shrugged. "Okay, if you say so." He watched them for a few minutes. "This is better than the movies!" he said.

"Yep," Kon agreed.

Weasel nodded.


Title: Status Quo
Fandom: *wince* High School Musical (Oh god I'm so ashamed)
Characters: Sharpay, Troy, Chad/Ryan.
Rating: PG
Prompt: Superhero AU.

"Stand down, Dagger Lass and Flame," the Wooden Horse said, hands on his hips as his cape flowed heroically in the wind.

"Oh yeah?" Dagger Lass said, flipping her blond hair over her shoulder. "Make us."

This was the status quo of heroing. She and Flame would do evil, and the Wooden Horse, or his girlfriend, Sparkle Girl, or sometimes even Clone Boy would stop them.

They'd be thrown in jail or they'd get away, but either way, everyone knew they'd be back.

Dagger Lass was comfortable with that.

But.

Lately, things had been...different. When Clone Boy fought them, her brother seemed far too eager to fight but not nearly eager enough to use his powers.

And he'd sneak off at night when he thought Dagger Lass was asleep.

Once she'd followed him, and, well, her worries were justified.

"Why can't you change sides, Ryan?" Clone Boy had asked. Ryan? He'd told Clone Boy his real name? Dagger Lass would kill him.

"I can't be good," Flame had whispered.

There was a silence. "I know you can," Clone Boy had said. Dagger Lass had glanced through a window and seen them kissing.

This was very, very bad. The status quo did not allow for a hero and a villain to love each other. Especially if both were boys.

Dagger Lass would have to show her brother the error of his ways.

Maybe she'd let him get caught this time and escape on her own.

After all, it wasn't like things could get any worse.


Title: Training
Fandom: DCU
Characters: Diana, Charlie
Rating: G
Prompt: Charlie is an Amazon being trained by Wonder Woman.

"Very good, sister," Diana said. "But your defense - " She knocked aside Charlie's sword with her shield and touched Charlie's chest with her own sword. " - could use work," she finished.

Charlie scowled. "Hera, you always win!"

"I've been doing this longer than you have," Diana said, sounding amused.

"Still, it'd be nice if I won occasionally."

"You're doing far better than most people. You're a fast learner."

Charlie beamed. "Thanks!" she said. Diana smiled. It was fun giving Charlie compliments. She really appreciated them. It might have helped that Diana reserved her compliments for when Charlie really deserved them. They may have been rare, but when they came, Charlie knew Diana meant them.

"So should we start again?" Charlie asked.

Suddenly, screams ripped through the Themysciran Embassy.

Charlie sighed. "Guess not. You've gotta go, right?"

"Come with me," Diana said.

Charlie grinned. "Wow, really? You think I'm ready?"

"I know you are," Diana corrected, and together they flew out, ready to fight.


Title: Humans
Fandom: Titans
Characters: Kory/Dick, Komand'r
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Tamaran-occupied Earth

"Koriand'r, you must control the rabble better," Komand'r said, landing in Koriand'r's courtyard. "A human attacked me."

"Oh?" Koriand'r said. "Well, I am glad you're not hurt."

"I'm doing better than the human. I killed it."

Koriand'r's fists clenched involuntarily. "You did? Which one? Was it the leader?"

"How should I know? It was a female with yellow hair."

Not Dick, then. Koriand'r relaxed.

"Why have you not tracked their leader down? I know you could if you put your mind to it."

Koriand'r shrugged. "They would just get a new leader. At least this one doesn't let his followers kill our people."

"Hmm." Komand'r eyed Koriand'r thoughtfully. "Koriand'r, I'm telling you this because you are my younger sister and I care about you, but you should know the rumors about you."

"What?"

"They're saying that you are a human sympathizer. That you have on more than one occasion bedded a human."

"You should know better than to listen to rumors, Komand'r," Koriand'r said.

"So there is no truth to them?"

"Of course not," Koriand'r lied.

"Good," Komand'r said. She smiled. "Now, dinner time?"

"Of course," Koriand'r said.



Koriand'r kept her window open at night. She liked the fresh air.

And it allowed Dick Grayson to sneak in.

"You shouldn't be here," she whispered, as she always did.

"Couldn't stay away," Dick said, grinning. "Hey, Kory."

He was the only one who shortened her name like that. No one else would have dared.

"We're enemies," Kory said.

"You're not to bad for an alien invader."

"I should have you killed."

"But you won't."

She wouldn't. They both knew she never would.

Kory smiled and pulled him into her bed. "Quiet," she warned. "My sister stays here for the night. We can't let her know you're here."

"You won't even know I'm here," Dick swore solemnly, and Kory laughed lightly.



Outside the door, Komand'r smirked. Her parents would strip Koriand'r of her title and power when they heard about this. Koriand'r would be in disgrace, and with all luck, the human would be dead.

Koriand'r was a fool. She didn't deserve the power. It should have gone to the older, the brighter, the stronger of the two. It should have been Komand'r's.

And it would be.


Title: The Cat Bandit
Fandom: Batman
Characters: Bruce/Selina
Rating: PG
Prompt: Western

It was Sheriff Wayne who broke the kiss.

"I told you, Cat, we can't do this."

Selina traced his jaw. "I don't see why not."

"Dammit, Selina, you're wanted in 12 states."

"I'm certainly wanted here."

"You know what I mean. I've got to turn you in. It's my duty."

Selina kissed him again. As soon as his eyes slipped closed she slipped the chloroform soaked rag from her satchel and pressed it against his face.

"Sorry, Bruce," she whispered as his eyes widened and slowly closed. "You know I can't let you do that."

As soon as he was unconscious, Selina mounted Bruce's horse and rode off into the sunset.

Like always, she knew she'd seen a spark of relief in Bruce's eyes before he lost consciousness.

And despite his warnings, they both knew Gotham hadn't seen the last of the Cat Bandit.


Title: Power
Fandom: Young Justice
Characters: Jenni/Steph, Everyone here.
Rating: R
Prompt: Anti-matter Young Justice

"You all understand the plan, then?" Steph said.

"Yes, Talon," everyone muttered.

"Good," Steph said sweetly. She started putting her files away. "You all know that if you let anyone know what we're doing, even your mentors in the Crime Syndicate, I'll kill you? I don't care how invulnerable you may or may not be," she glanced at Ultralad, "I'll find a way."

Everyone nodded.

"And we'll find a way to kill you too if you tell Owlman," Supergal said.

"Afraid Daddy'll find out, Lara?" Ultralad asked with a smirk.

"Afraid our mother likes my dad better?" Supergal said.

Ultralad raised his fist. "My dad's more powerful."

"Guys, stop fighting!" Torque said.

Steph rolled her eyes. Jenni Ognats - Torque - was from the future where the Crime Syndicate had grown soft. She was too trusting and far too weak.

Warlock looked at her, eyes glittering. "You owe me a favor, Lara. See what secrets Jenni is hiding."

Lara smirked and touched Torque.

Jenni's eyes widened. "Talon's really hot," she blurted out.

Steph whirled around. "Supergal. Stop it. Now."

"Make me."

"I think killing's kinda yucky," Torque blurted out.

"Lobo, rip her arm off," Steph snapped.

Lobo bit his lip tentatively. "That seems awfully cruel," he said. "Needlessly so."

"I agreed I'd protect you only so long as you followed all of my orders to the letter. Do I need to tell you twice?"

"I kinda miss my cousin, Bart. He's still in the future."

Lobo reluctantly walked over to Supergal. "I apologize for this," he said.

"Fine!" Supergal said, ripping her hand off Torque's arm.

"Er, do I still have to?" Lobo asked.

"Well, Lara? Willing to owe me?"

Supergal glared. "If I must."

"No, Lobo. You don't have to. Meeting adjourned."

"Harper," Supergal said, grabbing one of Crossbolt's sleeve, "I have things to discuss with you."

As if anyone in the room didn't know they were fucking. Though...Steph wouldn't put it above Supergal to be planning a mutiny. She'd have to watch those two. It was good that Supergal owed her a favor.

"Torque," she said before the Speedster could leave. "A word, please."

"Sure. What's up, Talon?" Torque asked.

"I understand they don't use favor banks in the future?"

"Nope. Not really. Why?"

"Are you aware of how they work?"

"Someone does something for you, you gotta do something for them, right?"

"Precisely. You owe me, Ognats."

"Oh. Uh, do you have something in mind?"

Steph smirked. "No, not yet. But I wanted to make you an offer."

"Sure, what is it?" Jenni asked. She was so open, so trusting.

That would have to change.

"You look like you could use help. Someone who will keep you out of trouble."

"Oh. Oh. Are you, uh, offering?"

Steph smirked. "Yes. All you have to do is agree to obey my every order instantly."

"Like with Lobo?"

"Yes." Apparently Torque was smarter than Steph had thought.

"I don't know," Torque said.

"I doubt you'll survive more than a few months at absolute most if you turn down my offer."

"Can I change my mind later?"

"You can renegotiate. If you turn me down now, though, the offer won't be made again."

Jenni looked torn. "I...uh, I guess. Okay. Fine."

"Great." Steph allowed herself a smirk. "Then as proof," she disarmed her costume's defenses and pulled down the tights. "Start licking."

Jenni looked at her with big, scared eyes.

"You said you thought I was hot," Steph pointed out.

"I...yeah...but..."

"Do it."

Jenni met Steph's cool stare for a moment before dropping her eyes and - blushing perfectly, kneeling.

Steph closed her eyes, enjoying Jenni's awkward ministrations. Jenni wasn't very skilled, but Steph found it incredibly enjoyable anyway.

She loved having power.


Title: Commander
Fandom: Blue Beetle
Characters: Bianca Reyes, Peacemaker, Paco, Brenda
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: The Reyes and friends in Titans of Tomorrow universe.

"It's been a year since Jaime's death now, Ms. Reyes," Peacemaker said. "How are you holding up?"

Bianca shrugged. "I make do. We're striking tonight, by the way."

"Striking the Titans?" Paco said. "I thought we were trying to be less suicidal now."

"They won't be expecting it tonight," Bianca said. "Milagro has Guy Gardner's green lantern ring, and she's with us. The surviving Birds of Prey are with us. We've got Spoiler, Empress, and Arrowette, and they should at least trip Batman up some, and let's face it, we've got everyone we'll be able to get, and if we don't strike soon, we're doomed."

"You are the commander," Brenda said. "You're sure we're ready."

"We better be," Bianca looked at the picture from so long ago. She was smiling, standing with her husband and Jaime and Milagro.

Now half her family was dead, and she rarely smiled.

"Alert everyone," she said. "We're taking the Titans down tonight."
