Meme of death!
Jan. 12th, 2010 12:47 pmHey F-list.
I’m trapped at home by a fierce heat wave and feeling listless. I need your help to get me writing so I’m calling out for prompts.
I’ve got a board of ideas but need your help. Pick a prompt and a fandom or pairing and I’ll do my best to write it for you. I’m open to everyone – Tribe, Speed, Bats X-fans and anyone else who might find this.
Please guys, help me get my head back in the game.
Munnin

Date: 2010-01-20 11:00 am (UTC)The Tribe Mega/Jack #14 command for itsjustc
Date: 2010-01-23 09:08 am (UTC)“Can you fix it?” Mega’s voice so close behind him was abrupt enough to make Jack jump.
“Yeah, yeah.” Jack replied, running his hand through his spiky hair, covering his distraction. “The problem’s not fixing it; it’s programming the system well enough that’ll keep working.” He gestured vaguely at the screen and its scrolling lines of text. “The program’s so complex that without regular maintenance, it’ll breakdown and fragment.”
Mega leant in, squinting at the text. “The system must be self-maintaining.”
Jack shrugged. “I don’t know how to make that happen.”
In one fluid strike, Mega dragged Jack out of the chair, pressing him against the wall, one hand tight around Jack’s throat. “That’s a command Jack.” Mega purred close to Jack’s ear, his voice dark and nasty. “And there are punishments for those who can’t obey commands.”
Jack shivered, half wondering what the punishment would be.

Date: 2010-01-23 04:17 pm (UTC)I loved it! Thank you.
I think Mega should be Dom!Mega in most pairings except Ram/Mega (Sub!Mega) and my oddest pairing EVER! EVER! - I know! I'm weird! - Paul/Mega (persuaded!Mega)
Please, PLEASE, will you think about coming back to TAT and writing for it again.
Whether you do or not, will you(or can I) post these , or a link to these on TAT. x.
Re: The Tribe Mega/Jack #14 command for itsjustc
Date: 2010-01-23 10:22 pm (UTC)Paul/Mega? Now there’s an interesting thought. Pick me a word and I’ll give it a try.
I don’t know that I’ll ever come back to writing for TAT as strongly as I once did, it’s been so long since I’ve watched enough of the show to be sure and happy with my characterisations. I have so many fandoms now and uni goes back soon, taking with it most of my play time but I do plan to post all of these on their respective communities.
Thank you so much for your support C. I really appreciate it... now hit me with another so I can and write Paul/Mega

Paul/Mega #10 Learn
Paul/Mega #10 Learn, for itsjustc
Date: 2010-01-24 07:56 am (UTC)Mega looked their newest recruit over. They picked the boy up on the road as he walking alongside the convoy. He was just walking, head down, his eyes on the road, ignoring the jibs of the other Technos. Most strays avoided them, or begged, hoping to score scraps from the clearly well supplied tribe. But not this one.
Sick of being ignored, one of the Technos – a thug Mega knew as Tank jumped down from the truck, pushing the boy to get his attention. The boy let himself get shoved, not raising his head till Tank knocked him down.
“What’s your problem Stray?” Tank demanded, kicking at the boy’s side. “You deaf or something?”
“Stand down.” Mega growled, his voice pitched low and commanding.
The thug backed off, all too aware of the Techno lieutenant power and influence. It would be very easy for Mega to make his life difficult.
“Are you hurt?” Mega asked, holding a hand out to help the boy to his feet.
The boy ignored both Mega’s hand and his words, getting to his feet and dusting himself off before hefting his bag and walking on.
“Did you not hear me?” Mega demanded, eliciting no response at all.
Finally he rounded on the boy, pressing his long fingers under the youth’s chin, forcing him to look up before moving his hands, jerky with lack of practice. Do you sign?
Yes. The boy signed in return.
“Do you lip read?” Mega both signed and asked.
“Some.” The boy croaked, his voice broken and thick.
“How are you with computers?” Mega asked, making sure to enunciate clearly.
The boy grinned and shrugged, a little modestly but with a measure of pride. Pretty good but I could learn.
Mega looked him over once more, taking in the lines of the boy’s slight body. “Then I think we have something to learn from each other.”
Re: Paul/Mega #10 Learn, for itsjustc
Date: 2010-01-25 12:25 am (UTC)You did a great job writing me such an odd pairing. Thanks.
I think Paul would be streetwise and his mischief with age could have made him a scammer, and with Mega being a computer and technical whiz I do think that they have a lot to learn from each other.

Speed, Torn for roadrunner74
Date: 2010-01-23 09:54 am (UTC)Speed shivered, clutching at edges of Racer X’s jacket as the masked racer wrapped it around him. His own race-suit was torn and shredded, blood staining the white leather red.
“Speed, look at me.” Inspector Detector called, flashing a light in Speed’s eyes. The young racer flinched away, whimpering as his naked skin grated against the tarmac of the pits.
“I’ve got you Speed.” Pain cracked X’s voice as he pulled Speed into his lap, cradling the youth close. “You’re safe now. Just let the Inspector take a look at you.”
Speed bit his lip, his grip on X’s arm tightening past painful as David inspected his wounds.
Bruises and cuts patterned the boy’s skin in almost an artwork of abuse. The Inspector pulled a needle from his bag, pressing it to Speed’s skin. “Sleep now Speed. We’ve got you.”
A large hand rested on X’s shoulder as Speed lolled in his arms. “The ambulance is coming. Hang in there.” Jack said gently, his deep voice strangely soft in the echoing bay.
The Inspector looked away, touching his earbud. “Ethan and Frank are tracking the suspect. Jack – rendezvous with Minx and follow their lead.”
“I need to go with them.” X called as Jack ran for his car.
“No, stay with Speed.” David said gently, brushing his hand against X’s cheek. “Trust us. We’ll find the man who did this and bring him to justice.”
X nodded tightly, holding the sleeping Speed in his arms. He would watch Speed’s back, just as the team would watch his.
Speed, Young for roadrunner74
Date: 2010-01-23 10:45 am (UTC)Rex leant on the Mach 5, scrubbing grease off his hands with a rag as he watched Speed race around the yard in his little car. Rex had built it from scratch for his baby brother, loving the way Speed clung around his neck, almost choking him with hugs that birthday.
The tiny engine roared as Speed gunned it up the little ramp, screaming and giggling out of the pretend jumps.
Years later, after the little car was blown up, after Rex died in the crash, after the grand prix cup joined the others on the shelf – Speed looked back of those days, flicking though the photographs and wondered if he was ever, truly, that young.
Speed, Never for roadrunner74
Date: 2010-01-23 11:08 am (UTC)Spend all night rebuilding cars with his brother, lightheaded with sleep deprivation as Mom lured them up from the garage with pancakes in the morning...
Race with Rex, their matching cars moving side by side though the curves and straights of the track, feeling the rush of competition in their veins...
Smuggle drinks together at the after-parties, sharing clandestine martinis on the shadowed balconies, laughing together, the sharp taste on their lips...
Be there for each other through triumphs and defeats, through the raises and falls, though hook ups and break ups, through all things life could throw at them...
Sit with Rex on the point of the look-out, talk to him about all the things he could never ask his parents about, about life, about love, about this...
Of all the things Speed would never do, the one that hurt the most right now was not being able to ask Rex what he thought of Racer X...or getting his brother’s blessing to kiss the man...
