Hey u know that Greek God Hephaestus who like lived in the middle of a volcano and made all the weapons for the rest of the gods?

I found him

It does explain his immortality…

Oh my god……. o h  m y  g o d……….O H  M Y  G O D

@sasskarian  – penny for thoughts???

No, no, hear me out. See, Tony isn’t Hephaestus himself. He takes after his dad a lot, granted, but the son of Hephaestus and Aphrodite, who tried very hard for years and years to be seen as really, seriously, the son of both his parents.

But then the kidnapping thing happened, and well, the inheritance from his mother was not going to get him out, but he still had the skills his father taught him, and the way that fire and metal responded to him, and that COULD get him out. So he uses that.

And when he gets back, he remembers that for all her reputation, his mother never actually did get around as much as everyone likes to think she does, and he tries to be more like her in that respect, rather than playing up his connection to her via her public reputation.

I told you about how we need someone to write us some ‘Jack O’Neill becomes the new head of the Avengers after Fury’ fic right? cause we neeeeeed it.

HAH! Oh that is TERRIFYING and amusing as all get out. 😀

Not it, but I am happy to spread the notion out there!

I typed this all out somewhere before but I can’t remember where but can you imagine the Avengers trying to read Jack in? with Sam, Teal’c and Daniel there for shits and giggles?

Cap: well, I died and came back to life

Daniel looks up at the ceiling

Tony: I am incredibly smart and could probably blow up the Sun

Sam blushes

Thor: I’m actually not a god, I’m an alien

Teal’c suddenly develops an intense cough

Tony: why do I get the feeling you’re not too impressed with all this?

Jack: yeah, well, you see, it’s like this…

HAAAH! ::APPLAUDS::

*blinks* Fuck you both, I already had enough plot bunnies. *adds to things that sound like a lot of fun to play with*

@jabberwockypie asked for “Methos & MCU Loki, Magical Accidents + Awful First Meeting”.

For this meme.

Ok, so this one is going to be more outline, because this one wants to be an entire AU.

So, Methos is a couple hundred years post dropping Kronos down a well and walking away from being Death on a horse when he meets this very young and somewhat confused sorcerer (ok, so he assumes sorcerer rather than alien or deity, ‘cause hey, he’s not that far away from having been all but a god himself, and still is working on not thinking of himself as one, so he’s just going “there are no gods”, because it works for him).

And he really doesn’t think he’s in any fit state to teach anyone anything, but this barely-more-than-a-kid (still a kid, honestly, Loki’s a teenager who’s experimenting with magic, and poking at things, and accidentally poked at a way to get between one world and another without using the Bifrost. He’s still trying to figure out how he did that) really needs someone to look out for him, at least. Because oh is he clueless. And a bit arrogant as sorcerers so often are, but Methos can live with that. (He’s lived with worse, and recently. This is nothing.)

… Things go downhill from there. Because nothing can go wrong with a confused and cranky teenager who’s experimenting with magic and an ex-terrorist with an ego the size of Europe, right?

Methos and Loki will never admit to what happened that first month or so they knew each other. There may or may not have been witnesses, accidental shape-shifting, and an incident with a horse. (The myths have to come from somewhere, and after all this time, who knows how the story distorted?)

And that covers the tropes themselves.

Fast forward to post-Highlander canon, and oh, about the time Thor’s hammer lands in New Mexico.

Methos is hiding from MacLeod, the Watchers, and probably his bar tab with Joe, and he’s meandering his way toward Mexico because tropical sounds like a plan. He hears about this weird hammer out in the desert when he stops at a bar, and decides to go take a look, because curiosity has always been a weakness of his (or a strength, depending on how you look at it, but this time, he decides it was definitely a weakness).

He might not recognize Mjolnir on sight, but he does recognize the decorations on it, and is contemplating bolting, because he Does Not Get Involved these days… except Coulson shows up, and Methos has the misfortune of being recognized because of a short disaster of a lifetime that was the one just after Adam Pierson, and is supposed to have been dead for the last several years.

Methos is not best pleased to be stuck in New Mexico, and even less so when after they catch Thor trying to get his hammer back, Loki shows up. Granted, he’s there to make sure that Thor never tries to come back to Asgard, but that doesn’t mean he lacks a few minutes to spare to drop in on an old friend.

This shapes up to be several more awful first meetings. (Thor, Sif, the Warrior’s Three, Jane and Darcy, Clint Barton. Methos is not entirely sure this is better than having to deal with Watchers, MacLeod, and Joe refusing to give him more beer until he pays up – which wouldn’t be a problem if the old Watcher would just take his money, instead of insisting he pay his bar tab with true stories.)

Shit happens, Thor goes home, and Methos hopes that maybe things will settle down. Except, no, he doesn’t get to go hide somewhere tropical and warm and lovely and spend a lazy decade on a beach somewhere. No, he gets dragged off by Coulson to meet some director or another, and oh, look, someone else from early on in that disaster of a lifetime, does someone have it out for him? (Why, yes, yes the author does have every intention of making your life entertaining, Methos, why do you ask?)

Which is how Methos gets unwillingly recruited to SHIELD, and ends up being on the helicarrier when Loki is brought in during Avengers.

This goes about as well as you think it does. Put one ex-terrorist with 5000+ years of experience in how to fuck with humans, and one alien sorcerer with PTSD who is about to make a spectacular game of getting himself safely away from his abuser on the same flying vehicle, and launch a brain-washed assassin and a team of mercenaries at it.

Yeah.

Methos has a newly-Immortal Coulson on his hands, a desire to go after Loki and ask him what the fuck, and also Thor has noticed he’s here. This is fine. Great. Excellent. He’s glad he arranged for the other three Horsemen to end up short their heads, so at least that can’t go wrong.

He’s still not going to get that lazy decade on a tropical beach any time soon.

…. And that’s where my brain goes “need more input before weaving Methos into the whole of the franchise”.

316: The San Lorenzo Job

I love that this is basically the same as the “We have a Hulk” scene in Avengers (and came out before it) but that in terms of the Leverage Crew, the Hulk, who you’d think would be Elliot (rage, not good with talking out his emotions, Mr. Punchy) is actually Hardison (that cheerful grin, the sass, the neverending well of love and joy).  Because the truth is, Elliot can’t do that always angry thing.  He can’t sustain his anger, he can only sustain his pain.  He can’t simmer for ages, he has to get in there and Do Something when he gets mad.  He’s Steve, to be honest.  But Hardison?  Hardison who hacked a foreign bank on prom night to pay back his Nana for all the good she did her foster kids?  Hardison who buries himself in games and toys and gummy frogs and orange soda because that’s what people expect of the “geek”? Hardison who grew up poor, and orphaned, and black, and oh so incredibly smart?  Hardison who is so constantly afraid, of dust, of small spaces, of high places, who loves a vent-crawling building jumping thief like she’s the sun?  Who had to hold Parker’s hand as she panicked about foster kids in Eastern Europe somehow ending up broken like her?

Hardison is angry.

He’s always angry.

And no puny evil like Damian Moreau can stop him.

So, go down to feed and medicate my dog, and there is someone other than my parents to bounce the crazy plot bunny off of.

This plot bunny has fangs and several years worth of where it wants to go.

Because the whole bloody thing is going to end up spanning from the time frame of Arrow’s Fall through to at least Storm Breaking. Possibly a bit later. And all this because I was contemplating an OT3 because I can.

Also, adding to the head canons:

Ivan (Vanko) is a Karsite Sun Priest with mage-talent, who once Karse and Valdemar are no longer enemies, ends up meeting Tony, and they fall into a rivalry over whether magic or technology are better. Sometimes good-natured, sometimes vicious and painful.

Coulson is a hertasi, Fury has mage-talent and some mind-speaking, and they’re both coming up with the people with the gryphon from the far south (I know who, I just cannot for the life of me remember their name and how to spell it, and I’d rather describe who they are then mess up spelling).

Still haven’t figured out any headcanons about Loki, nor have I figured out headcanons about any other villains from the movies.

And while I’m thinking about it, Sam is coming from the far south too, because I can, and because that gives me a way to have him doing things in the air readily without making him a gryphon. Because I don’t want to do that to him. Species-swapping Coulson, yes. Doing that to Sam, no.

Also, Hydra can go rot, Ancar and company are quite nasty enough without giving them any extra oomph.

*wanders off to go read more*

Ended up talking to mom about this plot bunny because she’s in the midst of a reread of the Arrows trilogy.

*grins very widely*

So. Alternate and additional headcanons to my original thoughts on this whole idea.

Thor and Loki as Companion and Herald (this time), who have been functionally trading off who gets to be Herald and who gets to be Companion over many many many lifetimes ‘cause it’s fun. They remember this when they’re dead, and have a vague idea of it while Companions, but not a clue while Heralds.

Loki tends to be a all the damned Gifts except Healing, and Thor tends to be all the damned Gifts except Bardic, and the first time they did this Thor was one of the early Heralds and Loki walked out of the Grove, and they have been a hot mess of a relationship ever since. Bickering, swapping roles, driving various other Heralds to distraction, making everyone around them nervous.

(Also, when Thor is Companion, at a gallop, people tend to wonder where the fucking thunderstorm is, the sky is clear, what the fuck?, and while Loki is Companion, people get nervous around him and cobblestones because his hooves fucking spark.)

Natasha as instead of a Karsite ex-extremist, as a former spy for the Eastern Empire who found herself going “what the fuck?” when she found herself with a Companion (because she tries very hard to be a good person, and also she’s not really sure she ever wants to go back, and just Reasons), and is functionally working with Alberich and later Kerowyn.

Clint as one of Skif’s friends, who just kinda tagged along with Skif because hey, he’s bored, and maybe there’s something better where his friend who is going to be a Herald, of all things, is going. He’s going to end up one of Natasha’s students, ‘cause reasons, and also, because spies that aren’t Heralds can be useful in places where it’s not safe to send a Herald to spy.

(ok, so I may not keep all of these, and instead keep the ex-extremist Karsite bit for Natasha, and she can still pick up Clint, but he keeps this backstory, and he’s mostly with her because he’s traveling and collecting information and reporting back to Alberich and later Kerowyn)

Steve and Bucky grow up in villages on either side of the Valdemar-Ruthwellan (sp?) border – Bucky in Valdemar – and Steve gets Chosen (because it can happen to people not born of/in Valdemar), and Bucky goes with him to Haven and joins the Guard, because there’s no way he’s letting Steve – skinny little scrap who will fight anyone who is being an ass – go off to be a Herald in a “shoot me now” uniform without him. Even if he can’t be a Herald himself.

Bruce. Bruce is someone who lived in the lands of the Hawkbrothers (mostly using that name for them because I forgot how to spell the proper name, damnit), who got into an area where the magic hasn’t been tamed/healed/fixed yet, and got changed. He’s very tall and very broad and very annoyed by this change, but he’s still otherwise the constantly curious person who wants to learn everything he can that he was before. And generally gentle and kind, even if most people are at least mildly terrified of him.
