At its core it's Gaz getting manipulated by Makarov into fighting for his side, so it's incredibly toxic and it's supposed to be. Gaz is captured during a mission gone wrong and is now a prisoner of the Konni, but instead of being tortured for information or used as bait to draw the rest of the 141 over, Makarov doesn't lay a hand on Gaz and instead spends countless hours slowly and subtly leeching his way into Gaz's head over games of chess. He plays into Gaz's insecurities, his self doubts, his fears, the things he keeps hidden from his team, all the while keeping the rest of the 141 and their allies far away from where he's keeping Gaz in order to ensure he gets what he wants; Gaz's loyalty. And only when Makarov is certain Gaz will listen to him does he bring the man into the ranks of his team and the two start getting closer. Maybe Makarov is simply feigning the emotions to keep Gaz on his side, maybe the emotions are genuine, maybe Gaz is just imagining Makarov cares for him after being broken down and built back up. But that same undying loyalty Gaz once had for Price, Ghost, Soap, and the 141 has now been turned into undying loyalty for Makarov, even if part of him still wishes to see his old team, but that voice is boxed away since he knows what can happen if he dares let it out around anyone, let alone Makarov himself.

Richie and Mike are cousins, but we are keeping the actual ages. So let's set it up in 1988 (ignoring the canon of course)

A 12/11 year-old Richie goes to Hawkings to spend let's say 2 weeks with his aunt and dear cousin. Without being able to avoid it, he gets to meet the party and gets this HUGE crush on Will.

And the whole thing gets fun and silly very quick, with Richie wanting to be next to Will at all times, and wanting to hangout with Mike and his friends because they are like cool losers.

Of course nothing happens because Will is older that Richie, but they all find Richie s "admiration" for Will very funny. (I'm giving Will a record of being like almost everyone's crush at some point)

Steve and Bucky fighting against ICE, but also like would they be scared because Steve is a birth right citizen, sure, but that hasn't protected people, and he has a criminal record, and he's 1st generation, and if he resists arrest, there is risk that he accidentally kills, just due to his strength alone, and he doesn't want to be compared to them, but he also kinda wants them all dead for how they're destroying democracy

In the end, they must reason it's fine, that the current regime is Hydra or something, with their neonazi, authoritarian, whatever it is they think they're doing

Sorry, this is really garbled, I just thought of it, and had to get it out

Maybe I'll flesh it more out later, try my hand at writing something (no promises)

Help! Someone turned my talking polar bear into a regular polar gear and now a warlord has him.

He brings Sting and his mithtrel with him and meet them at Rivendale. He introduces himself to Bilbo as both son of Drogo and son of Bilbo. Cue suspicious Dwarrows and even though Bilbo is doubious to begin with he tests the boys knowledge on a range of hobbitish subjects that impress the Dwarrow, then he mentions he went on a quest with Gimli and the company notices the passed down sword and the dwarven chain mail and come to the conclusion that either Bilbo married a dwarf or stayed in Erebor. He joins the quest and Bilbo has feelings of inadequacy agaisnt a hobbit that can actually fight. But Frodo is all “I learnt from you!” And is the best of both worlds and heals my heart.

Concept: Good Omens but the Them is college aged bc everyone I know in college is jaded, angry, aged, and done with everything. 

Pepper got a full ride and is studying political science, she wants to be Prime Minister some day 

Brian is an Environmental Scientist or Engineer and wants to go into environmental clean up 

Wensleydale is studying to be a Dietitian 

Maybe Adam is studying archeology specializing in theology (idk how archeology majors work) or sociology specializing in religion (idk how sociology works as a major so if any archeologists or sociologists to be want to speak up about how this would actually work pls do, I'm curious now) 

Dog is an emotional support animal and that’s how Adam can take him everywhere 

Maybe in this AU Adam’s powers don’t manifest until he’s 21 after he gets Dog at age 11, or he was a late bloomer for his powers and Crowley and Aziraphale have to sell that lie to Heaven and Hell while they look for someone who is 11, 12, 13 etc all the way up to 21 with a Hell Hound, and Crowley has to come up with a sellable lie for the mess in the Middle East with Warlock, or he just goes on the run from Hell. Maybe Aziraphale tells Heaven the influences from the Light are working. 

Agnes Nutter predicted this so Anathema isn’t running around for a decade trying to find the Antichrist 

Weird crap still happens to Adam, but in the context of college 

Like maybe he can eat dubious or suspect food and be fine (you know, the food that gets forgotten in the back of your fridge? the one you just toss out in the container because you don’t want to think about it? he can eat it and be fine) 

Adam’s always on time when he’s stressed about arriving on time, even when he shouldn’t be on time, he puts it down to managing to run/drive/bike to catch the train/get to class/get to work/get to the interview on time 

If he’s a late bloomer when he starts hearing voices and having weird crap happen to him he puts it down to finals week stress (I got lucky that time I ate 2 week old meatloaf, I've been hearing voices but I haven’t slept in 3 days so that’s fairly normal, Dog’s eyes are glowing red but I’ve had 6 Red Bulls today to I wouldn’t be surprised if he started talking bc I can hear colors right now) 

Crowley: Haven’t you been hearing voices? Getting urges to cause mass destruction? 

Adam: Well yeah, but I haven’t slept in 3 days and I’m fueled off of stress and coffee made with Red Bull instead of water so I’ve been hallucinating dog’s eyes glowing blue and losing a bunch of time, like yesterday I came home to all my homework done and I don’t remember doing any of it. 

Crowley: THOSE AREN’T HALLUCINATIONS DOG’S A HELLHOUND AND THAT WAS YOUR POWERS MANIFESTING 

Alternatively: he figured out he has powers and the only people he told were the Them. Crowley and Aziraphale are either on the run from Heaven and Hell while trying to find the Antichrist, or have to come up with increasingly ridiculous excuses/lies to buy themselves more time to find him. Until Adam walks into Aziraphale’s bookshop asking if he has xyz books for his thesis project or something. 

In this one Adam purposefully uses his powers for small-scale stuff, like making the food forgotten at the back of his and the Them’s fridge safe to eat again, maybe slowing down time to get more study time for stuff (since in the book and show, at least the way I interpreted it, it’s kind of Adam’s friends that pull him back from being the Antichrist and to being human again), free tickets and things for movies and musicals etc 

Crowley: what do you MEAN you decided to stop being the Antichrist? 

Adam: well, I almost did, until I told my friends I could make them do whatever I wanted, and we were all so horrified by that statement that I stopped. also it’s difficult enough looking after myself and dog and my friends and coming up with things to do that ruling the world sounds like a nightmare

Anathema enrolls in the same college to try and track him down
