Jetko Meme

[weirdlet]

Okay, folks- I got art I need to be doing, stories I'm working on but which aren't gelling, and some things have been said that are setting me off in a 'yeah, you're right!' direction.  SO.  What we have here, is a Jetko meme.  I get to work on one of my favorite pairings whilst trying to get more into their heads (Jet in particular is a slippery bugger), and we all get some hot starcrossed boy-love.  Or hate.  Whatever you like.

Give me a prompt, a sentence, a song, whatever; any AU/universe in progress you like, just so long as you keep to this restriction- no rape.

Two prompts per person, promise of one ficbit, standard not-very-fast warning applies.

Do have at it!

Bonus!fic- Ember Island Follies (2/2)

[weirdlet.livejournal.com]

There’s a short intermission, and the royal audience members appear once more, composed and steady as if nothing had happened. The play proceeds apace, and the Blue Spirit arises from the depths of Lake Laogai, clutching the body of her dead lover before burning through the mist and the mask and the costume and revealing herself as the fiery hawk of vengeance, conquering the city before leaving it at last for home, duty fulfilled but heart full of ashes. There is an implication, though, that the final aria invokes the symbolism of the phoenix and renewal of life, and thus, the Blue Spirit, all in secret, retains some last trace of her bandit lover.



They got everything wrong, of course. The critics called it a fantastical pastiche, moving, appalling, sublime and very daring for using an alto as lead female instead of the more traditional soprano. The Firelord remained, for the most part, silent on her opinion of the piece, but did present the traditional reward for such a gravitas-laden performance and the skill of her pet dancers.

The tabloids were the only ones to repeat the rumor that a male figure in a Blue Spirit mask had broken into the playwright’s house and left him with a very clear indication that his portrayal was not appreciated. Or possibly it was just the fact that he’d made the Lady Zura cry.

In any case, it proved to be a very brief rumor, and Gita returned swiftly to his own theater company in Omashu while the opera itself went on to a popular run.

Aww. Sad but still somehow happy.

the Blue Spirit, all in secret, retains some last trace of her bandit lover.

...she is pregnant? And my thought progress is as predictable as always.

Predictable, but right- or rather, right about what the playwright's wrong about. ^^ The action's better, and Gita brings some snappy dialogue but the writing still has some classic Ember Island 'improvements' for drama.

He could be like my brother, tough, and sarcastic, and swaggering, and IN LOVE WITH MUSICAL THEATER, OMG! It's hilarious.

Your brain and my brain are places of terrifying, cracky, angsty chaos.

(which 'he'?)

Yeah- Jet is one of those guys who will beat you up for being a jock, but will end up being the punk element of the school dance troupe.

They'd get along great. The man sings every word of all the songs in My fair Lady with his Che tee shirt on and his pitbull howling counterpoint.
