herself_nyc just linked to a ficathon called "Scoobies In Space" and well, I feel this is a sign to share what has been happening in my head since I saw the "Serenity" trailer and then later watched The X-Files ep "Gethsemane"
Warning - just stream of conscious mental crack to follow.
Seriously. Crack. Silly. You will wish you never read this.
Also...if we are hanging out and suddenly I am just kinda sitting and lost in thought - this is probably what I am thinking of:
So. Fast forward a few hundred years. The Earth is a giant block of ice. Think AI or whatever -- The Earth got used up - whatever.
There is a team of geologists/archeologists - I don't care what, my brain is quite comfortable calling them the "science guys" and they are drilling or excavating or doing what my brain calls "science stuff" when they bring up a very interesting speciman.
This is my last warning - you don't want to know how I occupy myself while waiting in line at the bank. Trust me.
Okay, the deal is this: Angel is in a block of ice.
Yeah. I know.
I can't help it. My brain, when bored, really lacks a *reject* command.
And so then I have to go through a complex reasoning for how being frozen for several hundred years would affect Angel neurologically, cause you know - he was having some brain-damage issues from just a few months at the bottom of the ocean in "Deep Down" and this actually entertained me for the better part of a week.
I ultimately decided that he could have a bit of mental freezer burn (cause I was watching Stargate:Atlantis and it dove-tailed quite nicely with my Block o' Angel) and that would just be added angst later on (Swiss Cheese Memories are FUN!).
But then I always went back to my science guys cause they don't know they have a frozen vampire. Cause vampires are not supposed to exist. No, really - not anymore. That is why the Earth is in this, what is it third?, ice age.
There was some Ultimate Battle and all the hell mouths froze but not without taking away the planet. So the people eventually, cause this took awhile to happen, fled to other planets and colonies. Cause the Earth got used up.
Work with me here.
So Science Guys for whatever reason - I don't know - find a horror movie about a deserted science expedition that finds something in the desolation and pick *their* reason - the Science guys defrost Angel and they just think he is this wonderfully preserved corpse from a flash freeze (that part is new. Lum was talking about "The Day After Tomorrow" the other day and I incorporated) that happened a couple hundred years ago in this area. Like Pompeii!
Except he isn't human - he is still a vamp and he has been in this suspended state for A LONG TIME.
I just see Angel - all thawed out and blue lying on the slab and science guys puttering around him with clipboards and the science guys are all taking notes and commenting amongst themselves about science stuff and dead corpse stuff and then suddenly Angel's arm just shoots off the table and grabs a science guy and he starts to feed.
Cause, yeah.
Anyway - somehow Angel only kills one science guy and then my brain fuzzy tigers later events because this is really like a chose your own adventure book in that Angel could go all "Beauty and the Beast" primal and stalk the science guys and I'd like that. I'd watch that. Hell, I watched "Jason X." Twice.
But - dramatically speaking, it does nothing for the character arc and my brain will always pick character development over mayhem. It is just, if you can combine the mayhem with character development? I am so your bitch. Just saying.
So - Angel is taken off world by government forces that want to study him. You could call these forces Alliance Forces if you are so inclined.
Perhaps Angel's handlers are wearing blue gloves? In my head? Hell, yeah.
So - Angel gets clued into 500 years of history that he missed, including how the final battles went down, cause the Alliance is clued into all that shit.
The Alliance is really intrigued by Angel as well because here they have a species that until now, was extinct: A Real Dead NonBreathing Vampire. They have big big plans for Angel.
Of course he gets away. I am not really certain *how* although I do know the background music that is playing as he makes his getaway ("Son's Gonna Rise" by Citizen Cope). Also the getaway is filmed fantastically and then later, over-vidded.
So right now - currently - in my head, I have Angel, as a fugitive, making his way to the outer planets. With his Swiss-Cheese Brain and his desperate mission to help the.... crap! He can't remember who he is supposed to help!
Also? Do you really think, if there was a sudden extinction of almost all demons/vampires whatnots, that Spike would be on that list? Cause - I don't. Cockroaches and Spike. They both survive. And how cool would it be if a Spike that is now 500 years more experienced and so changed and yet *still* Spike, ran across a memory-damaged fugitive Angel? AND THEY FIGHT CRIME!

And Spike laughs and laughs, and then goes "ow" because that's harder than he's laughed in a long time and now his belly hurts.
And then Angel hits him and there is homoerotic wrestling.
Good times.

And yes! There are antics! And stuff! And deep character moments and OMG - I even allowed some schmoop in the other day because Angel is clearly not altogether himself, is somewhat dependant upon Spike (and even though he can't remember a lot, he knows that this is weird) and Spike has been so very lonely for so long (an Older Wiser Spike and it only took a Final Battle and 400 years to get there).
Seriously - this has kept me *totally* entertained for WEEKS. I keep drifting off from my computer and missing my exit while driving.

/me toys with the idea of adding Angel and Spike to her huge, epic Highlander/Matrix crossover story she tells herself bits of at bedtime and while stuck in traffic

But as far as mentally rewarding crack? This is fantastically fun.

Date: 2005-05-16 06:22 pm (UTC)Actually? Someone has written this, (http://wordsmiths.net/Crosswords/spectertitle.html) more or less. *g* He wasn't stuck in a block of ice, but he was sort of given the River Tam treatment, complete with brain damage and such. Check out the link -- there's a smokin hot pic on the front page.

Date: 2005-05-16 07:03 pm (UTC)I love the part about Angel not remembering whom he's supposed to help and Spike surviving (along with the cockroaches) and being more experienced. Just Perfect.

Date: 2005-05-16 07:14 pm (UTC)And it's a young guy, who looks hauntingly familiar, and it sort of gets naughtily erotic because it's 400 years into the future, and this guy's great-to-the-seventh-power grandfather was a mutant human being named Connor. (creep out!! but you can't look away)
And he's still asshole!Spike, only he can outbrood Angel during brooding sprints. He just can't maintain a brood, even with all of the shit that he's seen because WTF, he's immortal and he just had to go with it.
