A Ficathon Goes Into a Bar

Amnesty: All in the Subtext (Miraculous Ladybug/Batman:TAS)

Posted by: graycardinal

One more step toward catching up with all my outstanding prompts....

Title: All in the Subtext
Author: graycardinal /Gray_Cardinal
Prompt: Gabriel Agreste ~~goes into a bar~~ visits a Gotham City bookstore…and meets Barbara Gordon!
Fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug / Batman: TAS
Word count: ~1700
Rating: Suitable for all ages.
Warnings: None.

Ninety-five percent of the volumes on Codex Antiquaria's shelves were simply old, and little more than that, each waiting for one of the half-dozen people on Earth with a unique interest in the particular topic whose subject that work concerned.

Not surprisingly, the remaining five percent – the grimoires, the spell-books, the alchemical field guides, the encyclopediae of magical artifacts – drew most of the paying customers.

Amnesty: Where You Need to Be (Power Rangers Dino Thunder; Gargoyles)

2025-07-16T10:31:50Z

Posted by: graycardinal

Since we're theoretically into the amnesty zone, herewith a (phenomenally) late entry - hopefully the first of several, depending on how efficient my muse chooses to be.

Title: Where You Need to Be
Author: graycardinal / Gray_Cardinal
Prompt: Tommy Oliver ~~goes into a bar~~ washes ashore on an island and meets Princess Katharine (Gargoyles).
Fandoms: Power Rangers Dino Thunder; Gargoyles
Words: ~2800
Rating: Suitable for all ages.
Warnings: none

"Death by drowning, Tommy Oliver reflected, was totally unfair."

I'd always wondered how Tommy survived the aftermath of Dino Island blowing up (as we see in an early episode of Dino Thunder). And then the dice-rollers at the Ficathon That Goes Into A Bar handed me the answer....

Fic: The Thing With Feathers (Dungeon Crawler Carl/Stargate Atlantis)

2025-06-29T22:06:19Z

Posted by: jenbug

Title: The Thing With Feathers
Author: Jenbug
Prompt: Princess Donut walks into a bar and meets… Richard Woolsey
Fandoms: Dungeon Crawler Carl (set at some nebulous point during Book 5: The Butcher’s Masquerade) & Stargate: Atlantis (post series future)
Word count: 1751
Rating: Teen
Contents: References to canon typical violence for both series. Mentions of strippers.
Notes: Dungeon Crawler Carl is a book series about a former Coast Guard member and his ex girlfriend’s cat trying to survive the collapse of Earth. It falls into the litrpg/progressive fantasy genre so it’s kind of like a D&D campaign, but there is political intrigue like the Hunger Games on an intergalactic level. Stargate: Atlantis is a sci fi television series about a secret military organization that travels to other planets.

Hi all!

Hope everyone working on their submissions is right around where they'd like to be! At any rate, as mentioned in the coming soon post for this round, I'm going to be going out of town for a few days starting tomorrow morning.

Communication and approving posts to the community is going to be extremely slow for the next few days assuming I get to them at all. Don't let this discourage you from submitting a post if you do finish, though. I'll be back home on Sunday evening and will work on approving any outstanding submissions once I do. And if you don't finish while I'm gone, cool, you'll still have another week afterward anyway!

Thanks for your patience, and have all the fun in the world!

FIC: The PFLAG Conference (The Golden Girls/Designing Women)

2025-06-15T20:32:39Z

Posted by: senmut

Title: The PFLAG Conference
Author: senmut
Prompt: Dorothy Zbornak goes into a bar and meets... Julia Sugarbaker (Designing Women)!
Fandoms: The Golden Girls / Designing Women
Word count: 587
Rating: General Audiences
Contents: The situation for support for Southern queers has not changed since the era of these shows and that is referenced here.

The PFLAG Conference

As far as conferences and political rallies went, Dorothy was glad this one seemed to be staying at a civil discourse. Not, she amended in her own thoughts, that she wasn't ready to blaze truth across narrow-minds in a hope of seeing people live better, stronger lives in the open. She had to stand up for all of her principles, and was glad that joining PFLAG had given her a new outlet to do so.

Still, it had been a long day, and while she wasn't given to drinking much, a nightcap would settle her muscles down, giving her a better chance for sleep in the hotel's luxurious bed. She slipped into more casual, but still classy, attire, picked up her clutch, and headed down to the bar. It might even give her a chance to mingle with others of like minds.

If she found some of different minds, she had a piece or two of her own she'd be able to give out.

Julia Sugarbaker had been brewing on a storm since early that morning. It was bad enough that Georgia didn't have a proper organization to help the young men and women suffering from vitriol and hate, but she'd run into one too many damned Yankees tossing around their patronizing looks about even attempting to get one set up!

She straightened out her blouse, adjusted the sleeve at the wrists, and then snatched up her purse rather than stay in this ridiculously ill-decorated hotel room. She'd seen a bar downstairs. A nice little cocktail hour would help bring her down from her anger, and leave her more likely to find the right words on where to tell the next New York organizer where they could stick their disbelief in gay rights for the South!

Dorothy had seen the brunette going into one of the conference rooms earlier in the day. The decided emphasis on how the woman sat at the bar next to her spoke of difficulties.

"You're here with the PFLAG conference, yes?" Dorothy asked after the woman had a mint julep in front of her, while playing with the straw in her Long Island Iced Tea.

"I am here attempting to convince them to invest in my geographical region instead of writing us all off under the heels of those — " The woman cut herself off completely, took a deep breath. "Yes," she answered instead. "Julia Sugarbaker."

Dorothy raised an eyebrow. "The Julie Sugarbaker who was thanked in Representative Sugarbaker's speech last week?"

Julia softened her stance. "You pay attention to Washington, I take it, ma'am?"

"Dorothy Zbornak. Trying to put more effort into my ideals these days.

"And yes. Helping keep my chapter informed of events, since I have more free time."

"Were you instrumental in organization, or did you step in later? And either way, would you be willing to share any tips? The idiot I spoke to today doesn't feel there is any room in Georgia for them."

Dorothy sighed. "There are so many places in Florida that need outreach, and we run into that there. Or upstate New York, because no, the entire state does not follow the city's lead," she agreed, sympathizing. "I would be glad to work with you, and talk about how to get the support you need."

Julia smiled broadly. "Then Ms. Zbornak, I am looking forward to getting to know you."

"Likewise. Someone willing to stand up when the deck is stacked that way is the kind of woman I'd like to know," Dorothy agreed.
