Prompt: Highlander, Methos + any, what can you give a paranoid immortal older than dirt who is likely to abandon his whole identity at a moment's notice?
"Tickets to The Lion King in 3D, really?"
MacLeod grins. "You've seen it before, then?"
Methos shakes his head.
Clapping his hands together, MacLeod says, "Perfect! Dinner and a movie."
Smirking, Methos reaches out. "A date, MacLeod?"
He shrugs. "If you like."
Methos laughs. "I like, very much."

Prompt: Criminal Minds, Hotch +or/ Reid, betrayed by the profile
Notes: same ‘verse as nevcolliel’s serial killer AU
Emily looks up from her notes to stare at Reid. Her gaze flicks to Hotch, talking to JJ by the door, and then back down at her paper.
There is no way. No way at all. She knows Reid. She knows Hotch.
... she knows them.
"What's wrong?" Reid asks quietly, smiling at her.
"Nothing," she says, shaking her head. She folds up the page, mouth dry, heart hurting.

Prompt: Chuck/White Collar, Chuck/Bryce + Chuck/Neal, "I thought you knew!" "Why would I crawl into bed with you if I knew you weren't your brother?" "I thought Bryce would be okay with it." "Oh God."
Chuck doesn't realize anything is wrong until the next morning, when Bryce is in bed next to him and smirking at him from the doorway.
Crap. One of them is not Bryce.
"Hey, Chuck," the maybe-Bryce next to him says. "I think we've been found out."
Okay, so that one's Neal.
"Neal, we've talked about this," Bryce says. "You don't seduce my lovers, I won't seduce yours."
Neal shrugs. "It was a cold night," he whines. "Peter and El are at a family reunion." He pouts. "I'm not family yet."
Bryce rolls his eyes. "How long will they be gone?"
"The rest of the week," Neal says, trying to snuggle against Chuck. Chuck throws himself off the bed and falls onto the floor. Bryce chuckles while Neal peers over the edge.
"Fine," Bryce says, walking around the bed to offer Chuck a hand. "If you get cold again, you can share our bed."
"He can?" Chuck asks at the same time Neal cheers.
"Think about it," Neal says, smiling at Chuck. It's a good smile. It looks like Bryce's smile right before... oh.
Right.
Chuck blinks.
Bryce and Neal look at him with the same smile. Well, damn.
"Can... I..." He doesn’t have enough moisture in his mouth to complete the sentence, but Bryce gently pushes him back onto the bed.
Neal says, "May I kiss him, Bryce?"
"Chuck," Bryce whispers, plastering himself to Chuck's back. "Can my little brother kiss you?"
Chuck nearly pulls a muscle nodding. Neal surges forward, claiming his mouth, while Bryce nibbles at his neck.
This is like every fantasy he's had since he learned Bryce had an identical (criminal) twin.
Apparently, they can seduce together. Good to know.
"Stop thinking," Bryce murmurs.
Chuck turns his brain off and goes with it.

Prompts: Avengers, Loki, not the villain you were expecting (not a villain at all) ; Supernatural/Thor (2011), Gabriel + Loki, people usually start running away in fear when these two get together.
"This is not your world," he tells the winged man. "Leave it."
"Yeah, no," the winged man says, smirking. "We share some of the same mythos, after all. That makes us brothers, don't you think?"
He looks away, down at the small mortals leads their small lives, the little people who cheer the heroes tearing their streets apart. "I haven't done well with brothers," he murmurs.
"Me neither," the winged man says. "And quit thinking about me as 'the winged man,' seriously." A beat. "Call me Coyote," he asks. "It's one of my names, and I don't feel that otherself here."
"Coyote," he repeats. "Fitting, I think."
Coyote smiles. "Let's go play with that big brother of yours. I probably have a few tricks you haven't tried."
Loki holds out a hand. Coyote clasps it and they shake. Coyote, he feels, is powerful, at his level at the least - possibly stronger. So very similar to him.
And suddenly, they're somewhere else. Loki didn't transport them.
The Avengers are fighting an army of robots, SHIELD is escorting civilians out, and Thor goes down hard, chest smoking. He doesn’t get up.
“Robots using magic,” Coyote says, head tilted. “Now, that’s just not fair.” He snaps his fingers; the robots now shoot daises instead of magic fire.
Loki smiles, eyes turning to the wizarding scientist, the fool that the Hulk has almost reached. “Mine,” Loki says, and Coyote laughs.
“I’ll take care of this little fight,” Coyote says. “Go get ‘im, tiger.”
By the end, the remaining three robots are part-plant, Thor is completely healed in a way not even Asgardian tech can explain, and the villain of the day is in pieces, scattered amongst the stars.
Once the dust settles, The Avengers and SHIELD turn to look at Loki and Coyote. Loki knows what comes next: no matter what he did here, he’s still their enemy. They’ll still try to lock him away.
“Bye, kiddos,” Coyote says, wiggling his fingers at them, and then he and Loki are on top a mountain, looking out at the sky and the earth, and Coyote reaches up to pat his cheek. “Been fun, little otherself, but I’ve got messes of my own to clean up.”
Coyote stretches out his wings, blows Loki a kiss, and jumps. Loki watches him for as long as he can, and then a bright light flashes; when Loki is able to see again, Coyote is gone.
Loki steps off the edge, turns into a raven, and soars away.
0o0
"Yo, otherself, how's it shakin', dude!" Coyote yells, tackle-bombing Loki from out of nowhere.
The entire battle stops; Loki's minions stare, caught somewhere between awe and terror, and The Avengers look at each other then back at him.
"Coyote," Loki says warmly, carefully removing him. "I thought you had a mess to clean up."
"Uh," Stark says. "Weren't we fighting?"
"Totally cleaned," Coyote says cheerfully. "Got something I can utterly destroy?"
At that, everyone - minion, hero, stupid suicidal bystander - backs up, preparing to run. Loki smirks, reaching out to caress Coyote’s wings where they’re hidden. “Actually, yes,” he says.
“Oh, shit,” the archer mutters. “Coulson, you hearin’ this?”
Coyote pulls the information from Loki’s head, nodding. “Ooh, this is gonna be fun,” he cackles. “Catch you later, otherself.” He sends one last smirk around, meeting everyone’s eyes, and then he’s gone.
Loki looks at Thor. He wonders if his brother will ever realize just who he sent Coyote to annihilate, and what that enemy would’ve become far down the line.
“Shall we continue?” he asks, and the minions resume attacking.
The Avengers and SHIELD will try to discover who Coyote is, of course. They will learn nothing, and Loki throws a dagger at Thor.
Thor easily knocks it aside, hefting that stupid hammer, and the battle is rejoined.

Date: 2011-10-13 09:32 pm (UTC)I lol'ed at the archer saying "oh shit" at hearing Gabriel ask for something to destroy. Yes, exactly.
Hmmm do you think if Coulson or Fury have anything they need destroyed, they'll try to urge Coyote to do it?
Haven't read the CM serial killer bit, so I'll go do that in a bit.
Wonder what movies Methos hasn't seen...
