Legends of Tomorrow fanfic

I took a brief dip into Legends of Tomorrow fic. What can I say, I had an idea I wanted to write, and an h/c bingo square that worked so well for this episode. I made an attempt to explain the plot of the episode in the notes to the fic, for however much help that'll be.

MCU AU Fest fic #1: The Los Angeles Job

So, as it turned out, I wrote two fics for MCU AU Fest. Two long fics. I didn't really expect to write 60K for the fest, but ... um.

The Los Angeles Job (23314 words) by Sholio
Chapters: 7/7
Fandom: Agent Carter (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Peggy Carter/Daniel Sousa/Jack Thompson
Characters: Peggy Carter, Jack Thompson, Daniel Sousa
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Leverage Fusion, Action/Adventure, Hurt/Comfort, Spies & Secret Agents
Summary: Rogue 1940s do-gooders Peggy and Daniel have been thorns in SSR agent Jack Thompson's side for his entire career, even as he's drawn deeper into political corruption himself. When Jack's (least) favorite crimefighting duo takes on the Council of Nine and he's given orders to kill them, he's going to have to make the ultimate choice: do as he's told, or throw his lot in with theirs?

I picked this one up as an early pinch hit. Or, to be accurate, I absolutely jumped on it, because I saw the "Leverage AU" part, and the recipient's request for the fic to be set in the 1940s, and my imagination exploded with thoughts of Peggy, unable to talk the SSR or other postwar agencies into hiring her, going her own way as a freelance crimefighter.

One thing that gave me some trouble in the planning stages was figuring out which parts of the timeline to cover. I ended up doing an alternate version of season two, with Peggy investigating the Council on her own, and the various ways that events might work out differently if the SSR was entirely in the Council's pocket at this point.

I had a lot of chat conversations with sheron trying to work out the characters' AU personalities and motivations, which was HUGELY helpful, as well as many useful suggestions for keeping the building relationship on track; thank you!

MCU AU Fest fic #2: Tin Soldiers

And here is the other fic I wrote, my actual assignment. A.K.A. why I was asking questions about Almost Human a month or two ago.

Tin Soldiers (37327 words) by Sholio
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Agent Carter (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Daniel Sousa/Jack Thompson
Characters: Daniel Sousa, Jack Thompson, Peggy Carter, Angie Martinelli, Jason Wilkes
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Future, Alternate Universe - Almost Human Fusion, Alternate Universe - Robots & Androids, Case Fic, Slow Burn, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Angst with a Happy Ending
Summary: Detective Daniel Sousa is used to working with lifelike, human-looking androids. But he wasn't prepared for his new android partner turning out to be not a polite, compliant robot, but an angry, sarcastic, bitter person. (Technically this is a fusion with the show Almost Human, but no knowledge of it is required; this is really more like generic near-future police-state dystopia with robots.)

As the note indicates, this ended up being less of a fusion with the specific canon, and more of a generic near-future robot/android AU, because I'm simply not familiar enough with the specific details of the show, so I merely used it as a jumping-off point. And it's LONG. Definitely the longest fic I've written in this fandom so far! If you want to find out what happens when I set out to write tropey slash ... enjoy. :D

Honestly, this is one of the things I've written lately that I'm happiest with. I really had fun building a slow-burn romance and working out all the details of robot psychology and physiology. I don't really think you need knowledge of either canon (definitely not Almost Human, and not so much Agent Carter) to read this.
