Drabbles for the restless...

[neotoma]

Since I can't seem to settle tonight, and I'm behind on my writing, I'm asking for drabble prompts.

Currently, I'm writing in a fairly obscure corners of the DC Comics Universe (being The Flash and the Justice Society of America), but I can also try Astonishing Xmen and Xmen First Class if you're a Marvel fan. Actually, I can *try* just about any fandom that I'm familiar with, but if it's been years I might not have any juice.

So... character/pairing and word prompts, please?

Piper/Trickster : Power Outage

Power Outage

[neotoma.livejournal.com]

"I can't play."

"What? Of course, you can play!"

Piper responded by lifting his flute, and trilling off a measure. It sounded bright, clear, on key… and not hypnotic in the least.

"Piper! What happened to your music?"

"I can't play!"

"No, this is not happening!" Trickster howled "First Mark falls out of the air, then you can't do that voodoo you do so well!"

"Mark's down too?"

"Yeah, and what the heck do your gimmicks have in common! Nothing!" Trickster complained. Then his brain smacked him. "Wait…Piper… are you a meta-human? Sneaky bastards! They've a power blocker! Not FAIR!"

Ooh, very cool! James is so going to kick butt for that. You can just hear the distress in Piper's voice here, and know that James. Will. Not. Like. That. One. Bit. Thank you very much!

I really should write some Rogues-era Piper and Trickster stories. That was an enormous part of their lives, after all.

Of course, just getting a hold of the canon for that is going to be tricky...

*nods* We'll probably work some flash backs into the next arch of the RR, too (but we generally ignore canon because it's hard and we don't like it often times. though I admire how much work you put into your adherance to it!) especially with Tricks and Piper about to accidentally engender a baby.

I know that I want to write at least one more Piper/Fury story (possibly two -- one would be in an alt-universe) -- and the story about how Piper spent six month after Fury was arrested morose, belligerent, drunk or all three at once, with Sam and Digger 'helping' him along.

I'm a close-canon writer. I really don't feel comfortable moving too far from canon, which makes me lousy as a slash writer most of the time.

I love your Piper/Fury story! I'm sure that any others you wrote would be wonderful too, and to see Digger and Sam helping Piper through the loss would be great characterization and plot work. :)

I admire your ability to write close to canon because I just can't reel in my imagination that way, or be that dedicated in my research. It's a talent that you have, staying that close to things and making it work!
