QaF FanFic Thought...

[sisabet]

I should be working but I can't concentrate.

Instead I'm thinking about a QaF US idea - Michael and Brian should switch bodies ala "Freaky Friday" - I want to read this. Someone write, okay?

LOL. That's a fabulous idea. Brian wouldn't last one day working in the comic book store. Although I think if I tried to write it, it would just come out really, really stupid.

how fucking cute is that icon???

[juteux.livejournal.com]

almost as cute as this one! :D

I thought there was a story out *there* where Michael hits his head and thinks he's Brian. Justin's all :-! because Michael expects to get some blond boy ass and Justin's like "Nuh-uh. No way." Then Brian comes home from a business trip or something and he's told he has to stay away from Michael because he'd trip out, and Dave is still in the picture because he tries to see Michael...

I wish I remembered where I read this. I don't think it was finished, but now I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not. ;)

I've read that one- think it is a WIP-

I've also read a Brian-in-an-accident-thinks-he's-Justin WIP.
*sigh* neither worked for me.

Then there's Justin-is-in-accident-and-wakes-up-thinking-he's-Randy... bonus RPS in that one, too.

*facepalm*

Okay, now ya'll are just trying to scare me.

Stop it.

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

I... read that. *shame*

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

See, that makes me sad. Why does fic make me sad?

I mean it is obvious that Mysterious Marilyn grants a wish to Michael - an unspoken wish, his heart's desire or something (I'm certain it could work out) and the next day he wakes up in Brian's body. It could be hilarious. Wacky. Or really really bad. Actually, it could go either way.

But the idea intrigues me. I'm down with the wacky lately.

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

But... would there be story?

Or would it be all 'Michael stays in the loft all day jerking off in front of a mirror' and 'Brian stays locked in Michael's bathroom all day drinking because he is just not going to fucking deal with this.'

:D

Or. Maybe not!Michael talks Ben into letting him top, muhahahahaha...

*is insane today*

I think there could be a story. I think it could work. But I have to work now instead of think instead of this. Which sucks.

i think it could work too

[gradiva.livejournal.com]

I'd be willing to try... although

(a) The perfect person for such things is valereix obviously.

(b) I don't know if you'd like my writing style. I have written only one fic (it's posted in my journal).

Re: i think it could work too

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Well, Valerie is very busy - we lucked out that she had time to write "Blissed" - I'm just posting ideas - they are free and if you think it appeals to you please write it. I'd love to read it.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Okay - so I told nightsister up there (post ahead of this one) that maybe MM grants Michael a wish - his heart's desire - and he doesn't even know what it is. You could even do it without MM, Mikey could be at a carnival or something...

Anyhoo - he wakes up the next day and he is in Brian's body. Has no idea how he got there - same for Brian.

The situation of waking up and realization could be hilarious.

Then - you have to figure out plot points to keep them moving and active. Plus - you have Brian - possibly considering that he has lost his mind hunting down Justin to convince him that he is not Michael, he is Brian. And what will Michael do? I don't think he is going to be all thrilled to be Brian - but it is what he has always wanted - and plotwise, they will have to pretty much live the other's life until they reverse the thingy cause guess what? You can't explain that you just body-swapped.

The situation of waking up and realization could be hilarious.

Brian: *near hysterics* Where the FUCK is the rest of my cock?!

*cough* I warned you, insane. There could be a reason Brian can't just lock himself somewhere and drink himself into a stupor. Like say... inventory. He would never fuck up Michael's dream, i.e., his store, so there is hilarity there while he puzzles out Michael's stocking system and tries not to drive all his customers away. (Bonus, I actually proposed that maybe Brian n' Justin would tend store in the fourth season while Michael was away, heehee.)

Next question: Do they tell anybody? I'd have to go for yeah 'cause, hot as Ben is, I don't think Brian would bottom for him ;) And Michael probably suspects Brian would kick his ass six ways from Sunday if he so much as touches Justin. He might go for "be really rude and piss Justin off enough to crash at his own place," but can Michael pull off Brian-level snark? Hmmmmmm...

Dammit, now I want this! *laughs*

Yeah - well - Michael can always blackmail Brian into keeping up appearances, since Mikey is now in charge of Brian's rep and all. He could threaten to sing "Wind Beneath My Wings" kareoke night or something (cause I have to work that in there, somehow).

Also, I think the Significant Others will have to be told and then you have the wierdness of Justin having to relate to Brian in Michael's body and vice versa with Ben. And then Brian and Michael having to relate to each other and I think Brian probably would have a nervous breaksdown on the 2nd day.

Shit - didn't Anna S already do this in "Subtleties"? That is my lot in life - every idea I will ever ever have has already happened in Subtleties. But, other than the body-switch, it is kinda original - isn't it? Except that I am totally also ripping off Freaky Friday.

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

So there's a phone call in there somewhere, to confirm yes, they're in each other's bodies. Michael yells at Brian to put the fucking bottle down, that's his liver he's pickling, Brian says something nasty back and then there's silence, as Brian is stunned at how whiny he sounds and Michael is... stunned at how whiny his voice really is. *laugh* I love Michael, really, but that whiiiiiine... eh.

[sparkledark.livejournal.com]

Do you think Justin would agree to have sex with Brian in Michael's body, or would he be too creeped out? Would Michael in Brian's body try to have sex with Justin and/or the world? Would Brian feel violated by that? So many questions...Somebody definitely needs to write this.

[juteux.livejournal.com]

Hopefully Michael and Justin WOULDN'T have sex. Man, that thought creeps me out so much. Ew. Ew. I can't really see either of them wanting to have sex with each other. That would just be...Ew. Ew.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

See - I'm thinking Justin is going to be so confused by everything that it might be a concern but not an issue.

I think the real issue lies in Brian-as-Michael maybe letting Michael-as-Brian fuck him - or at least loudly entertaining the notion. Cause Brian would so let his body fuck him - and Michael - well it would be interesting Michael's reaction. I think he would be partly horrified and partly intrigued and just really freaked out.

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh!! Why did I not think of that??

Brian: Gee, what is it like to be fucked by me?

But then, there's the realization that technique counts for a lot, and the top/bottom issue -- though yes, if Brian bottomed it would be for himself, and maybe he plots how to get Justin into his body -- and it pretty much ends with all three (including Justin) squicked while Ben attempts to remain calm.

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

If there were to be who-has-sex-with-what-body strangeness, it would so involve Justin. 'Cause he's all twenty and horny, especially with Brian's body in the room no matter who is driving it, while Ben is all... zen, Tibet, celibacy does not bother him. In fact celibacy bothers him a lot less than doing either of the switchees.

*giggles*

I think Brian would be A-Okay with whatever Michael wanted to do to/with his body - as long as it wasn't you know - endangering his appearance.

I think he'd be all "Sure, take it out for a spin, have fun with it!" - at first. Then maybe he'd get weird about it.

I think the first time Michael has an orgasm is Brian's body he either has a religious experience or is horribly let down and crushed - it could play well either way.
