My plotbunnies breed like tribbles

Since I'm not dumb enough to start any new solo projects while I still have all these WIP's, I'm letting my plotbunnies out for a romp in the yard:
And that is just the tip of my plotbunny iceberg.
- Kirk/Spock (Trek) - Alpha/Beta/Omega first-time with Spock as Alpha and Kirk as *gasp* Omega. I've read a few more A/B/O's lately and I just love the way everyone has their own spin on the trope. I've always loved the dichotomy of a Kirk who wears the pants in the outside world, but is submissive to Spock in the bedroom. A bonus with A/B/O is that you have the potential for eventual mpreg, which I have to say is growing on me as a genre, depending on how it's written. More on Alpha Beta Omega at Fanlore Wiki.
- Roy/Ed (FMA) - I have read a lot of pieces where Ed is the blushing (and usually swearing, because it's Ed) virgin. And I enjoy the hell out of them. But my plotbunnies want an Ed who is actully far more sexually experienced than is appropriate for his age. It's firmly established that Ed witll do almost ANYTHING for leads on the stone, yeah? My bunnies think that this includes using his sexuality to barter for leads, favors, etc. to help him in his mission. I can totally see Ed with an attitude of "WTF, it's just sex, and it gets me what I need." And my brain just bursts with the possibilities of what this would do to a relationship with Roy.
- Buffy/Giles (BtVS) - Similar to a challenge that has already made the rounds, but with a twist that honestly stretches even my ability to suspend disbelief. Late series Buffy fails to prevent the Willow-pocalypse and the world goes to hell. Ditto for early series Giles, only during the fight with the Master. Some kind of intervention (demonic or divine) unites them both and sends their souls back to start the series all over again, in the bodies of their first-season selves. This is seriously angsty from both points of view, but far more for Buffy, who has to relive a hellish six years versus Giles' one. Add to the mix that season six Buffy has a romantic history with her Giles (who is dead), and is now paired with season one Giles, who has trouble viewing her as anything but a 16-year-old despite the fact that on the inside, she is 21.
And that is just the tip of my plotbunny iceberg.

Date: 2012-09-18 09:36 pm (UTC)Some of the A/B/O is really *out there*, but I have seen a few that are much more subtle. Alot of personal identity vs. psychosocial expectations vs biological imperative issues. And of course the hot sex and warm-fluffy-soul-bondy-stuff is nice too.

Date: 2012-09-18 09:28 pm (UTC)I'd also love to watch her try to explain to Giles about rocket-launcher-fun and blowing up the library. Of course, the events surrounding both of those, not so LOL-ish ...
On top of the B/G angst, I also think there's huge ouch! potential re: how does Buffy handle sweet first season Willow when her last memory of Willow is watching her beating on
Buffy's manGiles and ending the world.This plotbunny has been nibbling at my brain for a good while. There are just so many aspects to hmmmmm about.
