Day N/A - Alt Era RNM

Bonus Entry!

Is it Historical? The 1984 Olympics, maybe?or is it Futuristic? The 2020 2024 Olympics…

Maybe its a Fusion? 🤔

It’s essentially just a cute idea where Forrest & Alex meet at a winter olympics where they’re both competing. Forrest, a figure skater, and Alex, a cross country skier. Yet when they’re paths cross, things definitely begin to heat up.

My final offering for @alterarnm until I finish my Kylex AU Fusion fic. It’s currently 25k words but hoping not to exceed 40k so it should be done soon-ish.

[alterarnm]

Thank-you!

Alt Era Roswell 2021 is officially over.  (Though if anyone has any late entries, I won’t hesitate to reblog them for you.)

I want to give a big Thank-you to everyone who participated! You’re all amazing! I’ll be compiling a list of the works and post it in the coming week soonish. This year I will try to actually stay active in reblogging announcements for other events for our small but mighty fandom.

Day Three - Alt Era RNM

Theme - “Futuristic”

Setting - Cyberpunk

Pairing - Alex Manes / Forrest Long

*

This was a request of which I knew nothing about. Was literally shown one picture which I used to make this because I wanted there to be more Forlex content out there, especially for the @alterarnm event.

The truth is right here (11/?)

“Well that was a bust,” Alex groaned as Guerin dropped their bag of equipment onto his desk.

“Thanks, Michael,” Maria said, lightly nudging him as she slipped by and peeled off the FBI windbreaker that she only wore when they were going on some kind of dirty job. “Let me help you bandage that up,” she said, nodding at his hand, and grabbing the first aid kit.

“I got it,” he said, pulling the bandana off and tossing it over onto her desk. “Thanks.”

“Oh, come on,” she said, her voice soft and firm at the same time. Alex knew that voice all too well, and knew that Guerin wasn’t going to be able to refuse her. Well, good. Someone needed to take care of him.

Even so he had to squish down a bit of jealousy. Forced himself to focus on unpacking the bag, reminded himself, yet again, that it wasn’t going to happen.

“You really should get a tetanus shot,” Maria said, as she worked to clean out the wound.

“Yeah, I’ll get right on that,” Michael said, a little dryly.

“What’s on the docket for tomorrow?”

“Well we need to write up today’s case, do some research on the symbology and the bon--” Alex started, looking up at him and then trailing off as a familiar face poked into their open office door. “Deputy Evans?” he asked, bewildered.

if you knew how happy you are making me

For the first time since they’ve been together, Michael will be seeing Alex on a date with a client. Alex is worried that will change things for them.

A sequel to how long I’ve waited for your touch for @alterarnm

Warnings for insecurity and a bit of jealousy.

***

Alex glances up at Michael, trying to hide his nerves as he puts the finishing touch on Michael’s outfit. Tonight will be the first time that Michael and Alex will be at the same event since they’ve been together, the first time Michael will see him with a client since they began this relationship. Alex knows relationships like theirs are hard to maintain, that companions rarely ever have long term partners because jealousy becomes an issue. And part of him is scared of that. But a larger part of him is terrified that Michael will see him differently afterward, that it’ll change things between them, that Michael will grow distant and slowly pull away. That Michael will no longer want him.

They’ve had that conversation before and Michael insists that it’s not possible, but Alex has seen it happen too many times to count.

“After this one, I have the next two weeks free from clients.” To pack, to get ready to go, to find a new ship to make his home base when Michael can’t look at him like this anymore, when wonder changes to anger, to disgust.

Michael grins, “Two weeks in my bed? I’m really spoiled.”

“In your bed, watching you work, whatever you want,” Alex manages, forcing a smile, feigning ease.

“Hey,” Michael grabs his hand. “I love you.”

Alex manages a nod and he watches as Michael walks out the door, leaving him to get himself ready for the night.

Day Two - Alt Era RNM

Theme: Fusion

Book/Movie/TV/Historical: Robin Hood

Character: Alex Manes

He gripped the bow tight in his hand, took a deep breath and slowly released it. Head held high, shoulders back, he raised the bow and cocked his arrow.

The target was directly in front of him, he could see it and nothing else as he honed his focus. All eyes were upon him, none in the crowd of people watching were aware of his true identity. He planned to keep it that way.

Bow at the ready, he fixed upon the target and slowly let out another breath. He didn’t blink, released his arrow and watched it soar.

Bullseye!

I’ve actually been sitting on this one since March because the idea of Alex as Robin Hood just delighted me and I made it but decided it best to save it for the @alterarnm event. Technically this could be Historic but since its Alex AS Robin I decided to put it as Fusion.

Here By My Side, You Are Destruction

A rather dark double drabble for Day 3 of the @alterarnm event, specifically the lyrics snippet for Futuristic.

Summary: Max, Michael, and Isobel prepare for war.

Day Two - Alt Era RNM

Theme: Fusion

Setting: Movie - She’s All That

Pairing: Kyle Valenti / Liz Ortecho

Kyle adjusted his tie for the fourth time before nervously fidgeting with the red corsage.

“Right on time.”

He looked up, his stomach twisting into knots. She looked beautiful in her red dress and matching lipstick…

But Liz had always been beautiful and smart and friendly. Her eyes and her smile, like her, were radiant.

Why was he doing this again? Because he got dumped and wanted to show his ex up but that wasn’t a good enough reason. Liz was everything he never knew he wanted and didn’t want to hurt her. He hoped she’d forgive him.

“To prom!”

So today was meant to be the day, I had been working round the clock to finish my Epic AU for fusion day and I managed to reach 25k words before accepting it wasn’t going to be done in time. Since I feel bad not having fic, I wracked my brain trying to think of something, anything, to make as a fusion. This was probably a very weird choice for @alterarnm but my brain was empty. Please bear with me though because the fic will be finished at some point!

The Widow of the Web

A Roswell New Mexico/Krull AU Fanfic (Part of the fic Destiny) The group traveled out of the swamps the next day.  The new area was full of tall mountains and rich forests, though none as vibrant as the area around where the Emerald Seer had lived.  Towards dusk, Valenti called a halt to the excursion - near one of the tallest mountains in the area.

“The Widow’s place isn’t far.”  She explained.  “But I must go alone from here.”

“I could go with you, at least the entrance of the cave-”  Kyle began.

Valenti shook her head.  “No, this is a journey it’s best I take alone.”

The cyclops seemed to hesitate, but nodded.  “When will you return?”  He asked her.

“…If i’m not back by sunrise, I won’t be back.”

“You shouldn’t bother.  She won’t help you.”  Rosa crossed her arms.  “She helps no one but herself.”

“I understand your anger.  I was angry, too, once.”  Valenti told her.“

She deserves her fate.”  Liz had approached as well.

“Perhaps. But perhaps she deserves redemption, too.  Perhaps we all do.”  With that she started towards the mountain.

Alex watched the group talk, feeling very much as though he was missing something.  “Do you know anything about the kingdom that fell?”  He asked Max.

The Ortecho sisters tell the story a bit differently…

RNM Grishaverse AU @alterarnm

[a1kitkat]

Day One - Alt Era RNM

Theme - “Historical”

Setting - Summer Camp

Pairing - Alex Manes / Forrest Long

Alex shouldered his bag as he observed the row of cabins by the shore and the excited campers running around him, looking for their friends or desperately making new ones. He sighed and ducked his head, hiding behind his locks.

He didn’t want to be here though didn’t want to be at home either. Here, he’d be teased and ridiculed. At home, he’d be beaten and demeaned by his own father. Neither was appealing.

“Don’t look so glum!”

Alex looked up, soft eyes gazing back with a smile on his face.

“Hi, I’m Forrest!”

Alex’s heart skipped an excited beat.

So, this isn’t exactly ‘Historic’ as its more an AU where Alex & Forrest meet as tweens at a summer camp. Inspired by the photo I found of young Christian, I just wanted to make something with it because tween Forlex would be so cute 😍 so apologies @alterarnm if this isn’t quite what people were hoping by historic setting

Trio

“This is stupid, Max.  What if Mom and Dad wake up?”  Despite her protest, Isobel clung to the back of the tricycle Max was pedaling along the dirt road.  She’d refused to let him go alone when he’d insisted on following the feeling that had awoken him for the third time in as many weeks.

“There’s something out here, Isobel, I’m telling you.”  Max insisted.  The bicycle lamp lit the area with it’s red and green side lights, and in the near darkness there was something almost eerie about the way the colors shaded the landscape around them.

“But we don’t know….” Isobel trailed off, spotting something ahead.  Sitting on the fence of the ranch was a young preteen boy about their age with a head of wild curly hair.

From Roswell with Love [RNM Fic]

From Roswell with Love, by @haloud and @maeglinthebold

Tags: Maria DeLuca & Michael Guerin & Alex Manes, Spies & Secret Agents, Camp, 1960s AU, Mostly Gen but Endgame Malexa

Dr. Michael Truman’s career is taking off: literally. As the pioneering scientist behind propulsion systems and life support that may finally see a break in the stalemate of the Space Race, he’s found himself the talk of the science world, no matter how often he tells people to credit his research partner, Dr. Nora Truman. But when people talk, others take notice, and Dr. Truman is about to receive the job offer of a lifetime—and rival agents Maria DeLuca and Alex Manes are not taking no for an answer.

An AU where the aliens who crash landed in ‘47 successfully hid among humans. Team Human is here, too, amid the Cold War, the Space Race, mini-skirts and weird science…oh, and rival clandestine intelligence organizations.

Chapter 1 posted for @alterarnm AU Event Day 1: Historic

“Manes,” she said. “You’re not playing fair.” “DeLuca.” Alex hauled Michael in front of himself as a shield, his own gun still digging into Michael’s kidneys. “This  is a college campus, is everyone packing heat?” Michael spat,   exasperated. “And what the fuck, you two aren’t working together? I   can’t be that popular.” “I know you’re not a good enough shot to hit me past him, Maria,” Alex said. “We both know I don’t have to be,” Maria said, shooting the tires out on his car. “Maria! You know my dad’s gonna kill me for those!” “If you weren’t daddy’s little spy, I wouldn’t have had to. Let him go.”
