Friends From the Junk Cube

I realized these guys never get any attention so here’s the contents of my junk drawer!(aka a blue storage cube I’ve literally had since I was born)

I wish I was powerful enough to have my underlins play trumpets as I walk into my throne room immediately after having broken out of maximum security isolation prison

Hello friends, in honor of veteran’s day, let me present...

the men

These were my brother’s action figures.  I claimed them last year when he was going to trash them.  They’re probably GI Joe.  I played with them sometimes.  Pretty sure they’re all soldiers, but to me they should be Friends Who Have Adventures.  (I couldn’t get into my sister’s barbies but I liked these guys.  My own toys of preference were stuffed animals.)

There is Motorcycle Cop, The Nazi Looking Dude (A Bad Guy But Might Be Convinced to Turn Good), Mr. Spock, and Angry Red Beret.  All are at least slightly disabled with joint issues or missing fingers.  (Mr. Beret is currently being glued because he was in two pieces.)

IDK why but seeing these guys again makes me feel very nostalgic and happy.

The Commander & The Businessman

I was sitting there going “Yay! A handful of people are actually reading this niche little crossover.” And I was like “But I want more to read it” followed by “I don’t like over advertising my stories and I’ve already made Fanfic Link posts for them all.”

And then I was like “My blog. My stories. I can do what I want.”

So here’s a list of all three stories in my G.I. Joe x Jem crossover, featuring Eric Raymond x Techrat (Who is Cobra Commander in this AU because I said so). Featuring a favorite bit from each. :D

A Snake In Rat’s Clothing

What started this. I mixed up some voice actors, got amused by Cobra Commander pretending to be Techrat, and then wrote a short story where his minions stumble upon what Cobra Commander does in his free time. Short. To the point. Major Bludd is in it because it was before I actually knew who was in Cobra’s High Command.

Preview:

“You really don’t [have anything better to do],” Eric said. He picked the contract up again and rolled it. He smacked Cobra on the back of the head, careful to only let the paper touch him—Eric could be considerate to the “No touching” rule at times. “You work for me, remember? If I need a sabotage, I get a sabotage. If I need a fancy light show to impress a bunch of geezers, I get a light show. You got it?”

Baroness gaped.

“No need to get violent,” Cobra said. He grabbed the contract stack and opened it. He scanned over the money and fees, skipping straight down to what Eric promised to provide for the show. “You promised their costumes would blink lights in time with the music.”

“What? You can’t do it?”

“Of course I can do it,” Techrat said, throwing the paper back. “I’m a genius.”

“Yup,” Eric said, rolling his eyes. He shoved off the desk and folded the contract, putting it inside his coat pocket. “Show’s in a week. The girls will be over for a fitting in two days. Dress rehearsal is Friday.”

He had an attack scheduled with Cobra on Friday.

“Make it Wednesday. I don’t need a week to get this done,” Cobra said. “I’m not wasting my weekend on a light show.”

Techrat vs The Joes

The inevitable sequel. I wanted to write something from Eric’s point of view, where Techrat is suspicious but he isn’t going to put two and two together that he’s Cobra Commander. That’d be ridiculous! :P Baroness even gets a few moments to subtly making fun of her boss. ;D

It’s short and fun and I’ve embraced the AU (and really, it’s not that much more absurd than anything that actually happens in those shows lol).

Preview:

“We have a very special selection of guests out there with us today,” Jem said into the microphone. Her bouncing pink hair moved with her body as she waved to the crowd. The Holograms stood behind her with their instruments and equally bright colors. “Let’s give a big round of applause for the great servicemen and women attending tonight!”

Eric did not want to attend the actual event.

It increased the risk of getting caught, it made him look suspicious to be anywhere near a sabotaged Holograms show, and there was a literal ninja in the audience.

But Techrat needed assistance and it was either Eric or the girls. Lord help them all if someone gave Pizazz access to that Cobra lookalike weapon.

The Commander and the Businessman

The official “I’m in too deep fic.” I love Identity Issues, but the best part of Identity Issues is the REVEAL of the Identity Issues. So here’s a long form story about Eric Raymond and Techrat (Cobra Commander) getting together. Written with new knowledge of the GI Joe half of the fandom thanks to more research and watching a good chunk of the cartoons. 

I’m taking the ridiculous AU and treating it seriously and well, here we are. Though not too seriously because *waves at the two fandoms* look at them. Either way, should be fun and get the extended cast involved. :D

Preview:

[Cobra] wasn’t opposed to destroying a hospital or two if it meant he’d win the war, but only when it benefitted him. Kill too many civilians and even the Cobra army might start to question what they were doing or who they’d declared their loyalty.

Not everyone had a ruthless, cold heart.

Cobra’s phone rang, the shrill sound cutting through the quiet medical tent.

Speaking of cold hearts, Cobra pulled the device out and stared at the “Boss” that appeared on the caller I.D. screen next to a small message that he had twenty missed calls over the past few hours.

Perfect.

He’d lost a battle with the Joes, lost his newest headquarters location, and now Eric was mad at him.

Go forth. Enjoy. Read! :D And here’s the link to the Series Page. Just in case you want it, too.
