#fic-prompt

Dear anon,

thanks for your request!

Actually, I've been thinking to the subject you suggested since the very end of episode 10 of CSI:Vegas, but you know how it goes, "I'll do it, I'll do it" but you never do it.

Your request made me realize that now it's the right time. 👍

So, yesterday I started writing it (in Italian first, as usual) and I already have written almost 10 pages. It's gonna be a "real fic", not a short one "All the moments" series style - probably divided in chapters. The moment is very special, and I want to give it something special. Alas, @elizadunc is gonna hate me really bad... 😇

Just a little bit of patience and you'll have it. In the meantime I hope you'll enjoy the mini fics (which I found out are called "ficlets"?) that I put in queue for publication.

Thanks for your request. Feel welcome to request anytime. ❤️

@quipxotic​  Quipxotic,

My friend Raven (@raven-mcbain-monkeymouse) shared a Dark Matter fic idea with a suggested title of “Mind Games” they won't be able to write themself because they can't do dialogue, in the hopes someone will pick it up, and based on your Dark Matter fanfics on AO3 I've enjoyed very much, I was wondering if you might be the person to write it.

(Another possibility would be to use his scan from Transfer Transit from Episode 8).

According to Joseph Mallozzi, not much time passes between episodes of Dark Matter, so when AU Wexler said in Season 3 that his primary counterpart, who died in Season 1, had been missing for a month, it was accurate. Which means it hasn’t yet been a full year since the pilot.

So with that in mind, and I’m honestly surprised no one has thought of this before, I can totally see the Android throwing the crew a surprise birthday party on the anniversary of their awakening. Half of them don’t even know their birthday birthdays anyway. Since it was her awakening, too, perhaps she’d even wipe her own memory of doing the planning after it was all set up, so that she could be surprised as well.

Preferably in an AU where One wasn’t killed off due to creative interference by the execs and was still with the crew as Mallozzi originally intended. Although he was going to bring him back in Season 4 if the show hadn’t been cancelled, so if this is set in the future, an AU might not be necessary for him to be on the ship (although Mallozzi’s blog post said “would return as an ally in Season 4″, so I’m not sure he’d have been a crew member again as opposed to helping them from his position as head of CoreLactic, in which case an AU would be needed in order for him to be on the ship on the day, unless the Android sent him an invitation).

Anyway, feel free to grab this idea. Multiple people even, I don’t mind; in fact, I encourage it!

I was reading an older version of the script for the pilot of Dark Matter, where it opens with the image of One in a misty stasis pod oblivious to his surroundings, and also thinking about this cut scene from Episode 2.04 “We Were Family”:

ANDROID (O.S.): How long did it take you to start dreaming?

FOUR turns and throws her a look.

ANDROID: Thoughts and images from human memory form the basis of REM and NREM dreams. Without memories to process, brain mechanisms are incapable of producing cognitive contents.

FOUR: On the second day, I dreamt I was back in stasis, awake but unable to free myself. It’s a dream I’ve had many times since.

and the fact that when people are stasis pods, their digital consciousness is uploaded to keep the mind active, per Five’s explanation in Episode 3.03 “Welcome to the Revolution” of how she saved Sarah.

So, the six of them must have been dreaming while in stasis, and at some point when the memory-wiping virus did its thing, their dreams must have just gone black.

*bellows* YES! Abso-frickin'-lutely yes you are! 

[Why only t'other day someone decided to write based on an idea I had of Erik being a caustic stand-up comedian who goes on a Louis-CK-about-Ewan-McGregor rant about also-famous Charles. Well I read the results for the first time yesterday and it was 'totes amazeballs' as I believe the cool kids say.] 

Two conditions though: 

1 - ENJOY THE FUCK OUT OF WRITING IT (seriously, if you're not having Spacejam-levels of fun, don't feel pressured to continue) 

2 - link me if you do anyway, por favor? ^_~

Okay, this one's TOTAL fluff, if not crack: 

X F C - crossover - Pixar's Monsters, Inc.

Erik is the top-scarer at Monsters Inc. 

Shaw is his cheating and genuinely-terrifying rival. 

Charles is his scaring-coach who is terrible at his job but great at everything else. 

Raven is a tiny human child who fucks up everything. 

(Also, there are Yetis.)

Just posted a 3:10 To Yuma prompt to the XFC Kink-Meme with the following provisos...

Bonus for:

A scene where Erik kills someone with an eating-utensil.

A scene where Erik finally loses his temper and strangles Charles.

Retaining the fantastic and oh-so-Erik line: "Even bad men love their mommas."
