Fic snippet: Reaper!Bones

[snowdarkred]

Title: Waking Up
Author: snowdarkred
 Rating/Warnings: G, none
Aithor's Note: Doom xover.This is just a tiny bite-sized fic to satisfy my muse, since I'm too busy with my other xover to do the Reaper!Bones concept justice. So I wrote an itty-bitty one instead.

 

 

Waking Up


Reaper woke up everyday in Leonard McCoy's bed.
 

No, wait, that wasn't right.
 

John Grimm woke up every morning in Leonard McCoy's bed.
 

That wasn't right either.
 

Leonard McCoy woke up every sunrise in Leonard McCoy's bed.
 

That wasn't it....
 

Bones woke up in Leonard McCoy's bed everyday at daybreak.
 

There.
 

He ignored the part of him that whispered that something was still off.

I support each of those, but especially the Trek/NCIS one. *Points at fics* Look, I write NCIS! :D I actually started working on a fairy-tale this morning, but I'm going to have to wait until I have a bad day to write it fully. It's going to be ANGST filled, because I can't help myself.

I have a lot I want to do elsewhere too, though this is my 'main' fandom right now. :D

I'm waiting for the right plot to fall into place for the NCIS one. I have a bunch of scenes, but no plot that feels right for it.

I think that some version of girl!Kirk's going to be my next project since she's been waiting so (im)patiently for me to finish Big Bang. Though I doubt anyone will really like my variation of her.

What fairy tale are you writing?

I'm sure girl!kirk will be fabulous and badass, and that people will envy her for her awesomeness.

I know what you mean by the jumble of scenes. That's what my horror AU looks like right now. It still gives my the creeps though. I don't even like horror stories.

The fairy-tale is set just after Jimmy drives his dad's car off of the cliff. It's from Winona's point of view. She tells him a story about how a little boy named Jimmy is captain of the USS Hope, and he has two friends, a Vulcan and a doctor and they have wonderful adventures together. And when the story ends, Jim--who had bruises-- says "Ma? I wasn't hurt in the crash." And she says "I know sweetie," and marches off to beat the shit out of Frank. :D I'm going to get a friend of mine to illustrate it.

My girl!Kirk is kind of an odd girl. She's buckets of crazy, in love with Bones which makes her mental state worse. I'm not really sure how she'd be in Reaper!fic though. Hopefully more stable since he's going to be giving her guns and telling her to go kill monsters.

Mother bear!Winona sounds awesome. I have to admit that occasionally I fall in that trap of her being a lousy mother and I feel guilty for it. I'm thrilled when she turns out to be tough and smart and cares for Jim.

I've been wanting to write something darker. I've been considering mirror!verse but I want to make it more of an AU where Bones and Jim are pretty much crazy.

I have mixed feelings about Winona, due to my own absent parent, but I'm pretty flexible about how people write her. Whatever furthers their plot, I'm fine with, to an extent. But I usually only read badmother!Winona from good writers, because they can pull it off.

I don't usually read mirror!fic, to be honest. I think that more canon based stuff can be just as dark without the added complexities of the mirror!verse. But I would so read yours if you decided to go in that direction.

My Matrix story and my horror AU are dark enough for me at the moment. And my Reaper!Bones is getting dimmer by the second. XD I CAN'T HELP MYSELF.

In some fic, I write Winona as a mother that didn't know what was going on with her son for various reasons and then tries to reestablish a relationship with Jim. In others she's absent and Jim wants nothing to do with her. It depends on how messed up I want Jim to be. LOL

The darker story I was considering was based on the movie Sweeney Todd. So it'd be AU and someone suggested mirror!verse though I know nothing about it. (is a total Trek newbie)

You don't have to read anything I write just because I wrote it. :P

Messed up Jim is very fun to write, and there are just so many ways to get him there >:D

A Sweeny Todd AU would be awesome. (Also, Joanna & Joanna? Clearly this must be done.) And I want to read it because you seem like a cool person whose fic would be amazing, therefore I must read to see the amazingness. :P

Messed up Jim is fun. So is smart and competent Jim. Actually most versions of him are fun. Though sometimes I really wonder about the bunnies I get.

I'd love to write the Sweeney Todd AU but I haven't figured out the plot of it. I keep thinking I should make it in the era of Trek and then I keep thinking historical AU would be awesome. But I'd get bogged down in the details. And that fic would be so dark and kinky. o.O

Thank you for the vote of confidence. LOL I've been making my way slowly through your fics, when not typing madly on my story.

Smart Jim is definitely a HUGE plus. He's a genius, dammit, not a moron. Starfleet wouldn't just hand over their flagship to an idiot.

Hm, historical details are tricky. That's why I'm hesitant about my Roman AU, but I shall work through it. And, Sweeny Todd is mostly psychological, so I'm sure that you can get away with being vague about certain things. *cheerleads*

;) Thank you for reading my fics. :D Also, "typing madly" made me giggle for some strange reason...

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I try not to make Jim an idiot. He will be unobservant (like in my first Trek fic). He can be foolish. But I don't want him to be stupid. That just makes me go nuts. The movie even SAYS he's a genius!

Even if I told myself I could be vague on the details, I'd start this HUGE research project. I was thinking about putting it in 1800s San Fran and that era is a serious interest of mine so I'm sure I'd be doing months of research before I even considered starting it.

LOL That's my life lately. Typing madly and "Eat. Sleep. Work. Write."

[snowdarkred.livejournal.com]

He can be a little oblivious, but never stupid. He did graduate from the academy in three years, after all. :D

I've definitely embarked on huge research projects for fics before. I did that for my Harry Potter fic that never got off the ground. :(

That sounds like m life, but with 'study' instead of 'work'.

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I think that's one of the reasons I never wrote HP. I never had enough background research and I didn't want to read the books over and over and take notes on them. I thought it'd ruin the fun of them.

LOL I think it's every writer's life. Eat. Sleep. Study/Work. Write.
