Lots of thanks go to [livejournal.com profile] m_butterfly and [livejournal.com profile] devilc, who helped me pound this into the shape of a story.

Title: Into the Empty Spaces

Notes: This is for [livejournal.com profile] hannahorlove, who wanted a Brimstone/Astro City crossover: the meeting of Ezekiel Stone and the Hanged Man.
 

He is old, these days. )

 
Yes, my favourite is Alan Moore's. (If we're not counting my icon.) But they're quite versatile, aren't they....

Romance: "I never promised." "I believed anyway."
Porn: Sorry. There are too many cocks!
Thriller: Secrets destroyed -- shredded paper and brains.
Genre: The spaceships landed. We all ran.
Comedy: Is there really a toenail fairy?
Coming of age: I turned my parental tracer off.
Horror: They said silver would work. Bastards.

I can do fanfic as well...

Charles/Erik:* He felt safe underneath the helmet. Charles let him.
Moon/Zao:* The diamonds are sharp and cold, like your touch.

Origin stories are always necessary, right?

Clark: No one else could taste sunlight.
Bruce: They died more slowly in nightmares.
Diana: Just don't ask what Hippolyta traded.
Dick Grayson: Green. Red. Green. Red. Red. Red.
Dexter: Magnificent moon, magnified in Harry's knife


*(Actually a 9 word story. Oops.)

This format amuses me, obviously. The six word story only works because the person reading is capable of filling in all the blanks, of creating a story themselves around the mere suggestion the author provides.

Want one? Give me a character and get 6 words, give me a pairing and get between 6 and 12.
I maintain that, when promising people one line of fic, I did not imply that they wouldn't end up with extra lines as well.

Just to be clear, right?
