Darlings, I'm afraid I have far too many cracked-out fanfiction ideas running amok in my head, and as that pesky old writers' block is still making bogeyman faces at me from the corner, I don't dare try to write all of them. Yet. And so, just to fuel my ever-growing narcissism and hopefully give me a little kick in the rear on starting one of them, I present them in poll form.
Crack, in order of its appearance in my head:
I. [Les Mis AU] Through circumstances a tiny bit too complicated to explain in a mere summary, Marius spends a very confused and not-entirely-sober night with Eponine, who ends up preggers. Thenardier strongarms Marius into marrying her, the Gorbeau robbery never takes place, Eponine bleeds Valjean and Cosette for money without her family's knowledge, Courfeyrac ends up wounded but Not Dead on June 6th, and all sorts of bizarre pairings ensue. If I can bring myself to do it, it might even end up Courfeyrac/Marius/Eponine/Cosette.
II. [Les Mis AU] A witness to the death of Jean Prouvaire spreads it around that the National Guard are slaughtering schoolboys, and the people of Paris rise up. Sort of. Halfheartedly. In the protracted siege of the barricade that follows, the food begins to run out, there are defections on both sides, and Enjolras' leadership is stretched thin. A sweeping tale of madness, forgiveness, and--of course--fun with gender roles.
III. [Phantom] Our favorite psychotic Opera Ghost moves to London, adds sharp objects to his list of weapons, and is known only as Jack. Whitechapel will never be the same.
IV. [Les Mis] Several years into his marriage, Marius' ardor has cooled and he suspects Cosette [wrongly] of infidelity. He does what any good avatar for Victor Hugo would do in that situation, namely finds another woman, and Cosette's prayer to win back his love brings back a resurrected cast of dead Mizzies to help her catch him cheating. Starring the Baron and Baroness as the Count and Countess, Eponine as Susanna, Courfeyrac as Cherubino, and... well... I'll figure out the rest when the plot stops breaking my brain.
V. [Crossover!] What's the most bizarre, unworkable and generally cracktastic slash pairing you could possibly think of? That's right! An idealistic young godling is terribly put out by the gypsies' mistreatment of everyone's favorite living corpse, and steals him away. A new type of E/E pairing, one might say.
[Poll #628511]
