Hero Challenge
Umm... I love Darren Hayes. Just to get that out there.
I also would like to state that I love it when authors put a theme song or two at the beginning of the chapter, similar to the 'current music' tag on lj... then I know what songs to find to fit/influence the mood of the piece.
And it would be nice if I could write comic book fanfiction.
...
What do these have to do with each other? CHALLENGE!!!!
Considering that a) I can't write, b) I don't like songfics, but like knowing the inspiring song/lyrics of a story, and c) keep wanting to find a matching fic for this one Darren Hayes song... I think DC Comics-verse would fit best, but... if anyone would write, I'd be ecstatic. *grin*
Challenge spec's
Fandom: Comic book / superhero-verse
Pairings: Whatever
Rules: NOT a song fic, but based on "Hero" by Darren Hayes
"Hero"
Outside confidence is king
I am all that you're projecting
Inside feel the rising tide
And the revolutions deafening
I was trying to hide my opposing side
Trying to reconcile my magical light
Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me find someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Sometimes you put all of your desires in an object of affection
But in time because you idolise there is only disappointment
I was flying so high in your perfect sky
But I needed to fall cannot have it all

Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me for someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)
Don't need to compromise
I don't need to occupy the floor
There's a danger in boxing in my sin
And all that I am..
It's too much pressure
I'll only let you down again

Edit: Minor Rant
I'm getting a bit irritated at the fics i find where immediately upon confessing feelings for each other, the guys have sex. Is it not possible for the characters to build up to the physical relationship, just tad? Perversely, the more recent one's I've found that /don't/ have the jump-immediately-into-sex attitude involve teenagers. And those are rare as well. Bah. If I want smut, I'll find smut. Otherwise... there needs to be better plot spacing.
End random rant.
