Anti-Prop 8 Drabblethon/Ficletathon/Love-In/Whatever

[trinityofone]

As most of you probably already know, the California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 8, the gay marriage ban.

I am fucking pissed off.

bmouse and I are heading to a protest in about an hour, but I doubt that will be enough to vent all the anger and helpless rage from my system. So! Let's have a little love-in right here: gimme a prompt and I will do my best to write a drabble or ficlet for you. SPN, SGA, crossovers, whatever else you think I may know well enough to write. Due to the circumstances, slash or femslash preferred! Happy prompts preferred! Dean/Castiel preferred...okay, that last one is just me. You may also feel free to write me some of that here. ;-)

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to tackle before Thursday (my first day off in a week, GOD) but lay 'em on me and I'll do my best. And, you know—if anyone else wants to respond to any of the prompts, have at 'em! We can totally handle more than one response to some of these, I'm thinking.

Good on you both for protesting! I'm there in spirit if not there with a placard and a molotov cocktail.

My prompt is John/Rodney and something revolving around marriage - either doing it, discussing it, arguing over the pattern for the dinner sets...you know, those sick immoral things that government must protect us from by stripping basic human rights away.

Good luck at the protest! I wish I could go to one. I get so sick at heart when I think about it.

Can I have Dean/Castiel after the apocalypse has been averted? (Bonus if Sam and Bobby are wandering around in the background being awesome.)

Dean/Castiel, building a bomb for God

and also this might not count, but it does involve Neil Patrick Harris, who is slashy enough to maybe make it count? Barney/Robin, protest sex.

I would totally protest with you if I were in California. As it is I am sending angry, angry vibes.

I sort of fail at my own premise, but...

A lot of people at the protest seem to think that Barney’s a narc, which, fine—he’ll just take his awesome suit to an “anti-shorts worn with Birkenstocks and hand-knit wool socks” protest next—but everyone thinks Robin is crazy. She’s really into it, chanting chants that are apparently really popular at protests up in Canadia but down here in the U.S.A. (United States of Awesome-Most-of-the-Time-But-Unfortunately-Not-in-This-Instance), make absolutely no sense. Marshall is still trying to figure out how the moose fits in.

Robin doesn’t seem to care. She’s totally amped up, and if this ends with cops and riot gear, Marshall and James and Ted’ll probably have to hold her down and sit on her to stop her from rushing them. (Barney would still bet on Robin scattering New York’s finest like bowling pins—10-1, easy.)

But while he’s still contemplating putting in a call to his bookie, Robin grabs his hand and starts pulling him toward a raised platform where people with an inflated sense of self-worth can get up and speak for a few minutes—or in the case of the woman who currently won’t shut up about vegetarianism (which relates to the topic at hand how, exactly?), what feels like hours. You’re supposed to patiently wait your turn, but Robin rockets up there and yanks the bullhorn from the surprised vegan, who looks flustered but eventually bows to the force of Robin’s crazed Canadian personality.

“Hello, New York!” Robin bellows, and Barney’s brain is suddenly filled with the truly legendary image of Robin Sparkles leading an army of angry liberals in a spirited rendition of “Let’s Go to the Mall!”

Even though he knows she’s not actually going to do that, she’s still kind of the most awesome person ever.

What she does next only reinforces the point: she grabs him by the tie and kisses him like they’re posing for a VE-Day photograph. “Barney and I aren’t married!” she breaks off to shout, leaving him grinning. “Unmarried sex is way hotter, anyway!”

Barney hears a muffled cry he’s pretty sure is Lily shouting, “Hey!”

“Let’s show ’em,” Robin says, half into the megaphone, half out, so Barney isn’t sure if she’s talking to him, or to the crowd, or to the world.

It doesn’t really matter, though, because then she’s all over him, exhibitionist-style. For a second the crowd seems stunned, but then a cheer starts up, slow at first, and finally, Barney thinks, with the particularly wicked half of his brain, his skills are getting the appreciation they deserve.

The other half, though…it just needs half a sec. He grabs the megaphone with one hand—the other continues to work on Robin’s bra strap, because yes, he really is that awesome—and brings it somewhere near the neighborhood of his mouth. “Hey, James,” he says, “even though you were totally lame and tied the knot, I bet you and Tom can still—occasionally—bring it.” He anticipates the ‘hey!’ “You and Marshall, too, Lils!”

Barney waits long enough to make sure that both couples are following his advice, then returns his attention to Robin. She’s watching him with a quirked brow, while still managing to do something naughty with her hand.

Barney starts to speak, but at the last second, something catches his eye. “Hey, Ted,” he shouts, picking up the megaphone again, “isn’t that that girl from your class?”

Wingman duties fulfilled, he tosses the megaphone aside. The rabid vegetarian and her girlfriend have already claimed the prime position on the stage, so he lets Robin lead him aside and push him up against a support column. “You know what we just did?” he asks, breath escaping him in an awed whoosh. “We just turned a protest into an orgy.”

Robin expression turns wide-eyed and innocent; she’s so wonderfully devious sometimes that even he isn’t always sure if she’s playing him. “There’s a difference?”

“Maybe that’s how you roll up in Canada—”

Robin kisses him and laughs and kisses him. “Eh,” she says, “you guys are getting there.”

John and Rodney -- aliens make them...not be married? Except that's not happy. Aliens make them date? Aliens make them get up in front of the class and name five things they like about each other?

ilu!!

Feelings: even MORE torturous than forced public sex!

John and Rodney get married for the 27th time :D

[slvrbld747.livejournal.com]

I love crossovers, if you could manage some SGA/SPN, with Rodney, and Sam having a past night together, and neither of their current lovers Rodney/John, and Sam/Dean, are to thrilled by this discovery. -SB

John and Rodney and summery things--ice cream! Porches! Fireflies!

Man, I don't get what people are so scared of when it comes to allowing gay marriage. Here in Canada, the entire country has had legal gay marriage since July 2005. It was controversial at the time, but the sky had not fallen for anyone since. Now it is seen by most people as a basic human right, (and boon for tourism). Good for you for protesting.

My happy prompt: Dean explains the awesomeness that is pie to Castiel. Hey, looking at the other prompts, what is the SPN equivalent of "aliens made them do it"?

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

what is the SPN equivalent of "aliens made them do it"?

Probably "succubi made them do it." Or getting hit with a sex/lust spell. I've definitely found fics along that line before.

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how you feel about timestamps, but your last story has been with me all day...and while I'm not sure it could or should have a *happy* ending, I'd really like to see Dean find out or remember or learn what Cas did...whether through another angel being spiteful or Cas misspeaking or...

But if that isn't happy enough, just Dean seeing Cas for the first time after Cas defied the angels to 'rewrite the story' in 4x22.... I haven't gone looking for post-ep fic, and I know you won't make it too facile even if it is happy (of sorts :)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'd really like to see Dean find out or remember or learn what Cas did...

Uh-oh. Now you've given me an idea. I am not sure I can make it work, but it's definitely not going to be ficlet-sized. I hope you don't mind waiting a little longer...?

Dean seeing Cas for the first time after Cas defied the angels to 'rewrite the story' in 4x22

Heh, now this...I've been thinking and thinking about this! So far I've been able to figure out three ways for Castiel to get out of that situation:

1. He's somehow actually able to defeat/fend off the archangels—which seems a cheat;
2. Chuck comes to the rescue somehow, as he might have some sway with them (though that also seems lame and cheaty);
or 3. The archangels let Cas go, but only after punishing him in some way.

No. 3 seems the most probable, or at least the most fic-effective, but I haven't come up with any take on it that works to my satisfaction. Let me know if you have any better thoughts! I am very curious to see what Kripke & Co. will come up with...

[(Anonymous)]

*g* I hear you on the various option, and the last one being the most realistic... Chuck's too deus ex machina...but the punishment in your third option definitely could be interesting!

As for the not quite sequel...you know I'm a size queen...I'll wait happily for a bit longer stuff!!! :D

Rodney and John take the team ( or others, or just go themselves, )to the San Francisco protest while Atlantis is on Earth.

[lilyfarfalla.livejournal.com]

Yay for protets (both downtown and online) and boo to California. So effing disappointing.

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

If I was there I'd be protesting too.

Since I don't think anyone else has asked I'm going to suggest some femslash. Id love something involving the all girl team from SGA's Whispers.

Failing that, Madison is way too socially aware for Rodney's liking especially when she asks John questions about prop 8/their relationship. Bonus points for added Jeannie.

[kiezh.livejournal.com]

That really sucks. I'd hoped they'd show some sanity.


I would like to see Teyla get married to a woman. (Who? Your choice. SGA character, OFC, crossover, etc. Feel free to genderswap someone if you want to; I quite like the idea of Teyla/f!John, myself.)

Prompts: The proposal. Who asks? What's Athosian custom?

Or: Aliens make them participate in matrimonial rituals. Um, I mean, Teyla's teammates have to take part in her wedding as her adoptive family.

[wychwood]

You should WRITE ME A STORY. It should be about JOHN and RODNEY, but PUDDLEJUMPER John and Rodney, and they should be at a protest or a pride concert or SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ALSO there should be *tries to think of annoyingly incongruous elements to include* OCTOPI.

Yes.

(alternatively... actually, a PJ ficlet would be really awesome. Failing that, something about a lesbian couple tying the knot on Atlantis?)

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Better protesting than screaming, I always say, though the second is rather therapeutic too.

I'd love to see something about gay marriage on Atlantis. Is it legal there, and if so, who made that decision? As the aliens-in-house, do Teyla and Ronon approve? Does John? How do people react when a Lantean couple decide to tie the knot?

Failing that, of course, I'd be quite gleeful over some Larrin femslash. The world needs more hot Traveler lesbianism.
