Rare Pairs Challenge: Day 21-22

[jujukittychick.livejournal.com]

So we're going with a dark theme this time, which skargasm totally has a head start on lol

Day 21
This time we're going with lyrics (slightly condensed) from The Police's "Every Breath You Take"

Every breath you take/ Every move you make/ Every bond you break/ Every step you take/ I'll be watching you

...

Oh, can't you see/ You belong to me/ How my poor heart aches/ With every step you take

...

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace/ I dream at night I can only see your face/ I look around but it's you I can't replace/ I feel so cold and I long for your embrace/ I keep crying baby, baby please

So, I read an interview or something where Sting thought it was kind of weird that people kept telling him they played this song at their weddings because it's all about obsession.  So, use some of the lines, use the idea behind it, make it yours.  Use a pairing you normally wouldn't, is one of the characters good intentioned but creepy, are they legitimately stalking another character? Tony Stark has the Avengers tower completely wired, is he using it to spy on others? We know Matt was stalking Allison in Teen Wolf, but was he after anyone else? Was he following Jackson too? Angel was always lurking in the shadows watching people (*wink wink to skar* lol).  Or flip it around for your rare pair and an unlikely hero comes to the rescue of the one being stalked.  Or do an unlikely pair join up in their obsession over someone else?

Day 22
Going with the dark theme, rare pairs that lean more to the dark side of things, this is a great time to use your bad guys.  Depending on your comfort level with writing non-con or dub-con, you can always put your victim character A at the hands of villain character B.  Or if that's a little too much, you can try going with a more psychological trauma route and have them the villain acting like a good guy before revealing that they've been playing the good guy all along (like Angelus parading as Angel, or Jennifer or Kate from Teen Wolf for some examples).

Avengers - Obi/Tony for some daddy kink, mentor, doting partner turned bad guy.  Loki/Clint for some mind control shenanigans. Red Skull/Bucky (or Winter Soldier) for either mind control or prisoner ideas.  Flip the script - Winter Soldier/Steve because Steve loves Bucky so much and he just knows he's in there so he's either willing to go along with whatever Soldier wants, or he's the one influencing Soldier to do things he wouldn't necessarily consent to.

Teen Wolf - Jennifer or Kate with any of the teens, or maybe the Sheriff for some seduction and betrayal.  Matt with any of the teens for some stalking, maybe some blackmail.  Gerard with any of the characters for straight up villain bad times.

Harry Potter- Lockhart with anybody for some bad dirty wrong things followed by obliviation so victim doesn't know what happened.  Bellatrix for some crazy bad times and torture. Flip the script - Dumbledore with any of the teens...for the greater good of course

DC - any of the Villains with either Bruce as himself or Batman, or any of the Robins.  Lots of opportunity for psychological twisting in any of those options. Flip the script - Batman doing despicable things to the villains he captures before he hands them over to the police

or maybe the Sheriff for some seduction and betrayal--I would put S1 ad S4 Peter, Kate and Gerard, hell even Victoria Argent in the bad guy category but the Sheriff? I know there are fic writers who like to put him in the bad parent/abusive alcoholic role, but to me, he always came across as a loving/worried father who's out of his depth dealing with his much smarter son. Then again, that's what Rare Pairs is for :):)

lol i meant jen or kate with the kids or the sheriff, not the sheriff as the bad guy. but that's why theres' AUs right? lol

Oooh, I do love a good dark!fic. Although, when writing them I like it to take a turn for the better at the end, and/or have a degree of a point to it — more of a challenge than whump for whump's sake. Hmmm... might have to try this with the rare pairs.... (goes to mull it over).
