srs2013 | Bonus Round 1

Bonus Round 1

Bonus Round 0 is now closed, and Bonus Round 1 is now open! Let's get creating, shall we?

This round, the theme is book-based AUs.

If you have an idea for something you'd like to see, please leave a book title, the characters involved, and any other details as a PROMPT below. Then read through everyone else's prompts, and leave a FILL for any which catch your eye. Fills can be in any media, and they need not be long, but please put a little effort in--if anyone starts spamming this post for points, we'll be able to tell.

You should place PROMPT/FILL, your current team affiliation and a brief summary in the comment title. NSFW prompts and fills should mention this in the summary or at the top of the post.

You will be awarded five points per prompt for the first five prompts you leave. The first three fills posted for each prompt will receive 15 points, the next three 10 points, and the next three 5 points. Prompts with ten or more fills will no longer receive fill points.

Bonus rounds are still rarepair only, but you can post prompts or fills for any rare ship this round, including gen/platonic ones (which should be indicated with an & as above). However, you may not fill your own prompt. We also encourage people not to fill prompts from their teammates, although the points will not be deducted if you do.

Bonus round fills can include links provided they are publicly viewable. Works can also be cross-posted to other websites, as there is no anonymity requirement in bonus rounds. However, works posted directly to comments will be limited to 16,000 characters by the Dreamwidth comment limit. Longer works should therefore be divided between multiple comments.

Remember, Team Chuck can participate in bonus rounds, and if you change teams, points earned will transfer with you until the end of the team shuffle period.

This round will close on October 6.

John Winchester is a widower who takes a winter caretaking job for the Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies in an attempt to spark inspiration for his writing career and also hopefully escape from the memories of his wife's death. He brings his two sons along with him: Sam, the youngest, is a strange and quiet child who often has visions that end up coming true, but John generally writes these off as coincidence. His older son, Dean, struggles with trying to avoid coping with his growing depression in the same manner as his father, and has become something of a guardian for Sam following their mother's death and John consequently losing himself in alcohol and writing. Their stay in the hotel is quite ordinary at first, but gradually, as the days get shorter and the snow piles up, successfully stranding them within the building's gaping corridors, things start taking a turn for the sinister and supernatural, Sam's visions become more and more vivid and violent, John gradually begins to lose his mind, and Dean must carry the balance between trying to maintain his own waning composure and protecting himself and his brother from the unknown forces within the hotel, and possibly from their father too. Age preferences include: kid!Sam like roughly the same age as Danny, maybe a few years older, and teenager!Dean. (also The Shining is the scariest book I have ever read so bonus points if your filler can legitimately freak me out)

Honestly, any pairing with this crossover would be great, so feel free to run with it. But if you'd like a more specific suggestion:

(Anyone here remember the fourth book So Long and Thanks for All the Fish?)
Sam is hitchhiking across space and gets dropped off on a planet that seems suspiciously like Earth despite the fact that Earth, y'know, blew up. While hitching a ride, he meets Amy, who seems to be the only person with any memory of the Earth getting bulldozed. When he tracks her down again, it turns out they're freaks in more ways than one. But all the cool people are freaks, after all. ~~From there you could go to the flying sex scene, or skip to the next chapter which is a nice bit about Marvin.~~

I haven’t actually read the book before so I’m just gonna jump right in! It’s just a short snippet though. I hope you like it :)

------

The captain of the Crusader couldn’t believe what had happened to his ship. Some random men had come on deck and ravaged the whole ship. Throwing his crew to the brigs and he himself had been tied up to a chair in his cabin by a blue eyed man, whom Benny guessed to be was this rogue captain’s first in command. The cabin was then ransacked as he watched and then he was left there, told to wait. He heard voices and then the doors to his cabin flew open.

He recognized the green eyes first, they were the exact same eyes of the boy from whom he had taken an amulet from a long time ago. Back then, those green eyes were shimmering with unshed tears, pleading and desperate. Now they were hardened, cold and calculating as the man approached him.

“Well well what have we here?” Benny drawled, smirking, “Dean Winchester. Looks like the lil’boy became a pirate,” Benny sneered looking to Dean whom he guessed was the one that had taken control of his ship. His eyes raked over Dean. He’d filled out just perfectly, where his arms were rail thin before they were now corded with lean muscle. He was broad chested and overall his image was quite pleasing to the eyes.

Dean didn’t answer the man instead he circled the captain, checking the ropes hat held him captive. Castiel had done a good job of tying him up tightly. Dean pulled up a chair and sat before Benny now, fixing him with a fierce stare, “Do you know why I’m here?” he asked.

Benny didn’t answer him he stared back at him, jaw locked. Of course he knew. He just liked to see Dean riled up like this all fierce and angry. It was such a vast difference to the younger version of Dean that he’d seen all those years ago when he’d first taken the amulet from him.

Dean grasped Benny by the chin, his beard bristling against his palm, pulling the captain forward as he seethed, “My men searched the whole cabin and the ship and they can’t find it at all. Where is it? Where is the amulet?”

Benny raised his chin in defiance, “Not here,” he growled back at Dean, “I sold it,” he continued and jerked his chin free from Dean’s callused fingers.

“You what?” Dean asked leaning in closer to intimidate. He didn’t want to believe it. He’d come all this way, trained so hard and gotten a crew and a ship just to search for this pirate and now he got this unsatisfactory reply. Dean didn’t believe him. He had to be hiding it. The amulet after all was made of real gold. It was worth a lot.

“I. Sold. It,” Benny said each word slowly and clearly. Then without warning he felt the crack of a hand across his cheek and his head snapped back from the blow. Dean had backhanded him.

“Don’t lie to me!” Dean growled jumping off his seat and fisting both hands in Benny's white satin shirt as he pulled the pirate close to him.

Benny puckered his lips teasing a kiss and annoying Dean, “I ain't lying. I swear.”

Dean forcefully let him go and stalked out of the cabin. The nerve of the pirate! “Cas!” he yelled for his first in command, “Castiel! He sold it! The bloody pirate sold it! My amulet!”

Castiel came running up to his captain, “Sold it? To whom?”

Dean shook his head, “I don’t know. I should kill him,” he growled, hand on his cutlass”

“Did you ask him who he sold it to?” Castiel asked. When Dean got angry he could only act on his anger. He wasn’t able to think straight just like he was doing now.

“No…”

Castiel gave him a glare, “Then? You gonna ask him or not?”

“He's not gonna talk. Bloody pirate. You should have seen the way he treated me when I asked him where the amulet was! He was making fun of me.”

“Go easy on him Dean he is one of the best in these waters here. He deserves some respect,” Castiel told his captain.

Dean rolled his eyes and stormed back into the cabin. Castiel was always right. He could trust his first in command’s words. Dean wasn’t looking forward to having to deal with that cocky bastard once again though.

“Ah look who's back. You done sobbing boy?” Benny cooed when Dean re-entered his disheveled cabin.

“Look,” Dean said grabbing Benny by his crumpled shirt, “if you want me to respect you then you better give me the respect due to me. Do you understand?” he asked. It was as simple as that.

“Mm yes. We can start by untying my hands Dean. Because that’s definitely not respectful,” Benny said.

“Not gonna happen.”

“Then I’m not talking.”

Dean swore. He was really getting on his nerves. If he didn’t need his help, he would have killed him. Dean took his dagger from its sheath at his waist then rounded the chair and slit the bonds from Benny's wrists. “There. Happy?” Dean asked standing before Benny who was nursing his raw wrists.

As soon as he did that Benny kicked his legs out from under him and swiftly tackled the man to the floor. Twisting his arm, Benny pinned the other to the floor of the cabin as he disarmed Dean, taking possession of his dagger and holding it to his neck now.

“Liar,” Dean squeaked at knifepoint, gulping as the cold steel pressed into his neck. He didn’t dare to move.

Benny chuckled, “Pirate,” he corrected. Then he threw the dagger off to the side. Dean almost immediately struggled to get up but Benny held him back, hand pressing down on Dean's chest instead, "Ah ah ah, I’m not done with you. I just didn't want to slit your pretty throat yet."

Dean glowered. This cocky ass bastard! "I’m not a lady!"

The pirate laughed, "I know I can feel you very well to know you ain’t no girl," he said his voice deep and husky to Dean’s ears.

His cheeks flushed now as Benny purposefully shifted atop him.

"You get off on fights don’t you?" Benny asked amused.

Dean spat at the captain.

Benny smacked his cheek lightly, "Don't be rude Dean. ‘M trying to help you here."

Dean raised a brow, “Oh yeah? How?” he asked because surely, teasing him wasn’t going to get him anywhere.

“I’m a take you to find the amulet you so desperately want,” Benny said, keeping his hand on Dean’s chest.

Dean’s eyes narrowed, “You're lying.”

Benny rolled his eyes in exasperation, “This is one promise I intend to keep alright?”

“Why?” Dean asked, staring up at Benny. He hated the way the captain had to sit astride him dominating him like this. It irritated him in the weirdest of ways.

“Help out a fellow buccaneer y’know,” Benny shrugged then continued, “get into the Lord's good books once in awhile. It can’t hurt.”

Dean gulped, “Fine, it’s a deal then. Now get off me.”

Benny chuckled then stood, holding out a hand to Dean now who ignored it and stood on his own. He was an independent one, this man. And Benny looked forward to working with him. “Set my crew free and we’ll set sail together.”

“Shut up, I don’t take orders from you.”

“You will if you want to find your precious amulet,” Benny told him, challenging Dean.

“Fuck,” Dean cursed as he left the cabin. He knew Benny was going to keep using that against him for the rest of this journey and he hated not having the upper hand in things.

“Soon,” Benny replied with a smirk on his lips when Dean didn’t turn around and bash him up. The man clearly hadn’t heard him. Benny set about straightening his cabin now, his wrists still hurting from the ropes. This was going to be a helluva long journey and Dean…dealing with Dean was going to be a handful indeed.

A handful that Benny intended to enjoy.

omgggg that was fabulous. thank you so much! and to be honest, I read this book a few years ago so most of the details have fled my mind ^^; but you accomplished this quite well, I think :3 well done.

AU. Based on the book Battle Royale by Takami Koushun.(So, they should be teen-ish)
Crowley should take on the role of Kawada Shogu and Castiel Nanahara Shuya. Nakagawa Noriko could be Meg.
The other students who find each other again and try to get into the computer system could be Ash, Sam and Dean.
(Also, the evil Kiriyama Kazuo could be Lucifer, followed by Lilith as Souma Mitsuko. But just am idea. Guess getting them into the prompt will make it too long)
What it is about:
Every year, one class will be (without the students knowing) sent on a class trip to an abandoned island and they wake up in a classroom, collars around their necks. The collars are like gps and will explode if: 1) they try to take them off, 2) the bad guy presses a button, 3) they stay at one place for too long once they're out and the game started.
Only one of the students will leave the island alive. It's three days and if there's more than one student alive, the collars will explode. Same thing happens if they are in an are that is called out in the morning. Every few hours, there's areas eliminated, so they will have to move closer to each other in the end.
Every student gets a bag with water, bread and a "weapon". (Crowley: shotgun, Castiel: potlid, Meg: binoculars)
Castiel finds Meg soon after they were send outside and they run away, trying to find a way out. They get attacked and Meg gets wounded. Crowley's the winner of the battle a few years ago and Castiel asks him for help with Meg. They lose each other when they get attacked, but in the end they find each other again and with the help of Ash, Dean and Sam, they trick the collar system and get off the island after everybody else died and fought each other. Crowley's too badly hurt, though and doesn't make it(?). Castiel and Meg seek revenge against the system, trying to bring them all down.
Can follow the book with Crowley dying or NOT. :D They wanted to bring the system down anyway, so him being alive wouldn't cange anything.

AU. Based on John Burnham Schwartz's book Reservation Road.
I'd love to have Crowley (Ethan Learner) and Castiel (theoretically Grace Learner, but male, please) lose their adopted son (could be Chuck or Gabriel, teehee) at the hands of Naomi, Lucifer or Uriel who is distracted in the car and while the Learners have a break at a gas stop, doesn't see the son and crashed into him, but doesn't stop. His/Her son is on the car, too, Lilith.
The Learners have another adopted child, Meg and they all suffer terribly.
The bad guy reads about the Learners in the newspaper and, bad as he/she feels, they start watching them.
At some point, Crowley gets obsessed with the idea of finding the killer of his son.

Oh God, I'd love to have this done by someone~ Feel free to change whatever you see fit. ^^

AU. Based on the novel Norwegian Wood by Murakami Haruki.
Main character Toru Watanabe could be Crowley, Naoko Meg and Midori Castiel.
Crowley hears Meg's favourite Beatles song on the radio and remembers his time as a college student.....

Characters can be changed if needed. :D

Lucifer and Michael are actually the same person- split into the two conflicting portions. As lucifer, he's dating sam, and as michael, he's trying to win dean over (but eventually settles for going out with adam) The brothers are keeping their love lives secret from one another, so they no one realizes what is truly going on. Michael and Lucifer are both plotting to wipe out the other one, but when the day of the big showdown arrives, only one of them shows up, and the truth is revealed.
In terms of timeline, this is taking place during season 5.

AU following the basic plot of Eragon where Sam finds a stone hunting in the Spine and it hatches into a dragon named Meg and then when the Ra'zac kill John, he goes to avenge him with the help of the mysterious storyteller Ruby. Sam/Ruby please.

The Little Prince Casifer AU where Lucifer is the grown up pilot and Castiel is the little prince who comes from far away and teaches Lucifer what's really important in life.

ahhh, I'm guessing you wanted a written fill. ;-; however, your art really inspired me;;; so I drew something instead. I hope that's okay?

I tried drawing corpses but they didn't turn out very nicely so I left it as it was;;; I hope this is okay!

somewhere over heeeere

And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown So I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian wood. It’s funny how hearing a song can bring back so much. It had been a while since I had thought back to the ‘good old days’; repressed memories I guess. It’s odd how the first and last lines of any song seem to be the most important. At least, they were for him. He’d always hum the whole song except for the first and last lines which he would sing under his breath. He would sing with a smile in high school. He was in his own little world along with Dean. Dean wasn’t a boyfriend, but not a friend. He was unique. Soul mates sound too drastic but it’s probably the closest word for what they were. He sung without realising after the funeral. The song came on the radio at the wake. It was the first thing I had heard him say a word since he found Dean in the car in the garage. I sang it at university when my roommate put it on the record player. I felt like a heartless bastard for losing contact- it’s hard to talk to someone who isn’t really there. She sang it- his roommate- as we walked around the grounds. She knew it was his favourite song so had been learning how to play it on the piano. He sang it, with tears in his eyes, as I held after we made love. Well, after we had done something. His laugh sounded like a song when I joked about selling my soul for a bigger cock to finally impress him and have something over Dean. It was the last time I heard him laugh. I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me... She showed me her room, isn't it good, Norwegian wood? It’s funny how much a song can bring back.

Hey there. I love The Yellow Wallpaper and this prompt is fab, so I triiiied!
It's not that great, but I hope you like it anyway :/

okay, not completely sure if this counts as a AU but...re-writing a bible story with spn characters. Could be ones already named in the Bible (Michael and Lucifer for instance) or putting a demon or angel from SPN in place of a unnamed counterpart (Crowley as Legion or Naomi as the angel in the garden ect) even Sam and Dean in place of one of the several brothers' stories.

Can either be a serious fic or a comedy c:

Put The Phantom of the Opera OST on and this is what I’ve come up with, a sort of modern twist-y kind of thing. Hope you like it! :)
------
“I don’t have long,” Castiel told him, still panting from the run out of the opera house. He gripped on to Balthazar’s hands, steadying himself as he caught his breath.

They stood in the gardens behind the opera house just after a show. The bright light flooded from the huge glass windows of the opera house and cast a dim glow over the gardens. Castiel cast a worried glance back at the opera house, eyes scanning the windows for the Phantom. He knew how angry the Phantom would get should he find out that he was here with Balthazar. He absolutely forbade him to meet anyone else.

“You’re still letting him control you? The Phantom?” Balthazar asked following Castiel’s gaze.

Castiel averted his eyes from the windows, pursing his lips, “All I want is freedom,” he whispered looking to his feet, “a world with no more night.”

Balthazar slipped his finger beneath Castiel’s chin making him look up, “No more talk of darkness, I'm here, nothing can harm you,” Balthazar whispered leaning in to Castiel, their foreheads resting against one another’s now, “Let me be your freedom. Let me guard you and guide you away from all that darkness.”

He felt like sobbing at Balthazar’s words, the tears burned in his eyes and he swallowed past the lump in his throat, his grip tightening on Balthazar’s hands, “Say you’ll love me,” he whispered his voice trembling and small.

“I love you, you know I do,” Balthazar whispered, moving his hand around Castiel’s waist, pulling the other to him, letting his head rest upon his shoulder as his fingers combed lightly through the other’s hair.

Castiel felt safe here in Balthazar’s arms. Nothing could harm him. Not the darkness, not the Phantom, nothing. He pressed himself into Balthazar’s arms squeezing his eyes shut now as he savored this moment. He rarely got to see Balthazar thanks to the Phantom. But that evening Balthazar had texted him and told him to come to the gardens behind the opera house right after the show. Castiel had done just that, running from backstage after the audience had started to leave.

“Take me away from here,” Castiel whispered into Balthazar’s shoulder, “take me away from him.”

“Shh,” Balthazar whispered kissing the crown of Castiel’s head, “I’ll take you away, I swear it.” He felt Castiel trembling in his arms. Sometimes he felt that there was no way that he and Castiel could be together but then there were these little moments, these stolen escapades that gave him hope.
------
Lucifer pushed the curtain back a little more as he peered out from his hiding spot. He didn’t want to think that what he saw was the truth. But it was clear enough; Castiel wasn’t in his dressing room when he’d gone to visit him with the gift of a single stalk of a red rose. As he watched Castiel locked in the arms of another, he felt an anger raging inside him but stronger than anger was the feeling of sadness and hurt. He felt the hot tears trickling down his cheeks behind the mask.

“I gave you my music, taught you how to sing,” he whispered leaning his head to the glass, gripping the rose to his chest, “And now look how you've repaid me, denied me and betrayed me,” he sobbed, “He was bound to love you, when he heard you sing. Castiel…my Castiel…” he banged his head on the glass, the pain numb to him.

No one else should have him. Castiel was his. He’d trained him to be this good. Made him the best. Given him all his knowledge on music. Castiel was his property. No one could have him. No one. He shook with rage now as he watched Castiel lean in and kissed the other man on the lips, his hands threading in the man’s hair. The way they were pressed against each other, kissing like that when they thought he wasn’t watching. It disgusted him.

“You…Castiel…” he growled, his breath fogging up the window, “you will curse the day that you decided to disobey the Phantom.”

He stormed from the window, adjusting the white mask as he went along. He threw the rose down; not even noticing as he walked out that the rose had been crushed under his step as he left, leaving a reddish stain on the white marble floor.

The only indication that anyone had been there watching the two of them…

Hope this is okay :)

Aww, it was cute. Thank you, I've been so excited about anyone answering this prompt <3

Castiel is Sherlock, Crowley an effective Moriarty, Meg is Watson.
Castiel is breathing heavily as Crowley backs him up against the wall, his movements deliberate and slow, and Castiel is an inch from the villainous bastard by the time Crowley is still. Crowley's breath is hot against Castiel's neck, and despite the fact that he's looking down at the other man, Castiel feels intimidated.

Castiel rarely feels intimidated.
"You like it, don't you?" Crowley asks, and God help him, Castiel can't help but lick his lips despite the close contact.

"What?" Castiel asks, and he feels like his voice has dropped a full octave in response to Crowley's sultry tone, but no, such a thing would be completely illogical.

"You like that I'm cleverer than you are." Castiel swallowed. "You like that I'm better, that I'm quick and sharp. You like for someone to have the upper hand, don't you, Castiel? The great deductor likes to take orders, hmm?"

Castiel shifts suddenly, attacks Crowley's mouth with his own and deepens the kiss, nipping at his lips. "Who says I'll be the one taking orders?" He asks in a growl against Crowley's mouth as his hands tighten in the other man's hair, and he feels Crowley stumble as his knees go a little weaker.

"God." Crowley mutters, and then he shifts forwards again for another kiss, reaching up to tangle his hands in Castiel's hair. When he pulls them back, Castiel is swift, and the handcuffs create a metallic click as he slides them over Crowley's wrists. Crowley closes his eyes, going still. "Shite."

"You can't always worm your way out of capture with seduction, Crowley." Castiel says, triumphant and smug.

"No, but it's certainly fun trying, eh?" Crowley leans forwards for another kiss and Castiel gives it to him, leaning hard into it and drawing the slightest bit of blood from the smaller man's lip.

"Am I interrupting something?" Castiel startles out of the kiss, blinking widely at Meg.

"I, er, I, my dear doctor, I-"

"That was really hot." Meg says, nodding a little to Crowley. "Kudos. Sorry about the whole prison deal." Crowley just gives a drawn out, dramatic sigh.

"Of course you are."

They hand him over to the Winchesters, who are effective police, as a whole. Crowley escapes before they even make it to the car, and Castiel and Meg share amused glances, wondering if they'll see the man again soon.
