Memes, fan fic, and random lists!

A couple of episodes ago in Lost, Mikhail Bakunin turns up alive after being Very Quite Dead. So my question is, how did he do that?

My top ten theories:

1. They put him in a Sarcophagus and he regerated
2. The patch over his eye indicates that he's really Patch, who is really Wolverine, so healing factor.
3. Horcruxes
4. Clone
5. Sylar from the year 2010
6. Rose, after looking into the heart of the TARDIS, brought him back to life.
7. Twin Brother
8. Highlander Immortal
9. He's really undead
10. Dr. McCoy actually injected him with a neuroparalyzer drug that simulated death but merely knocked him out.




Now, this is a plot bunny that bit me last night when I was going over Eldest.



"If I were to die in battle, Eragon, I wish for you to take over the Varden," Nasuada had said to him. Eragon watched as she left him to prepare for the upcoming battle. She seemed so careworn. So troubled lately. The burden of leadership wore heavily upon her slim shoulders. She was too young to have to do this. To fragile. He wished that he could remove this burden from her.

And then, he realized, there was something he could do. A way for him to end her needles suffering and pain. If she were to die in battle, she would no longer have to worry. The idea percolated into his mind and he nodded, satisfied with it. He would end her suffering, end her pain, end her hardship. For while she was not capable of carrying the burden, he was.





And then the promised, "Bits from Fan Fics I'll never write" Meme



For anarchicq Blink/Future Hiro crossover.

And then when he saw her, in all her pink glory- the pointed ears, the pupilless eyes- Hiro felt a feeling he hadn't felt in years. A pure unrestrained bit of geeky glee! Here was a hero from one of his comic books. Here was someone he had read about. Here was the ultimate crossover!

When she turned to look at him, he gave her a reassuring -if slightly geeky- smile and said, "My name is Hiro, how can I help you?"


For berseker Harry Potter/Eragon.

Eragon gasped with a surprised sigh. He had thought that Harry's wand would be weak and powerless. But how was he to know the true strength of that magic stick?



lccorp2 Wanted Eragon to meet a sticky end at the hands of the X-Men.

"Nothing can stop the Juggernaut!" the large armored man -no he was too big to be a man- bellowed, charging across the field. He seemed to build up speed as he ran. And none of his spells seemed to work on him. It was as if he was magically protected. Saphira dove between him and the mad bull rush and the self named Juggernaut knocked her out of the way!

Pain wracked him, as he felt Saphira groan in misery. So distracted by this, he didn't notice that the Juggernaut was upon him!

I was actually going to use the Blob for that one, but then I remembered that the Juggernaut was protected from all sorts of magical attacks because of the Gem of Cytrak.



And a Eragon/LotRs crossover for, authoressarktos

Eragon flew above a mighty battlefield, uncertain as to how he had gotten there. But below him elves and men fought against an army of creatures that reminded him of Urgals. Instantly, Eragon knew what side he should fight on and started to fly over to the elves and humans to help them.

Below him, he could hear their cries of "Dragon! Dragon!" but too late did he realized that they weren't cries of joy, but one of murderous intent.



And for calliopepurple Xander and Neville discussing the benefits of being a sidekick.

Xander raised his hand, beckoning for more beer for him and his new friend, Neville. The barmaid, who if he thought about it, seemed to have horns, brought them over with a smile and a wink for him.

"And of course," Xander said, "No one expects you to have to actually, you know, kill the dark lord evil type person."

Neville nodded in agreement. "It's not your job. You're just there to ... to..." He stared into his beer, obviously wondering how many he had so far.

"To supply witty comments and maybe take care of a minion or two."



b2wn's Nazgul-centric fic

And then, for the briefest instant, as it rode across the plains, chasing the unbearably bright elf that went into the realms of the seen and unseen, it remember that once, before the ring, that bright and shining ring that sang with promises of power, unlimited power and life, it had been human.



millenium_king Fic of doom: "Alec + Eragon + Saphira + Dumbledore + Harry Potter + Juggernaut /slash"

The Sunflower Official peered at Alec, obviously upset. Even though it had no facial expressions it was easy to tell. Just the way that it's leafy fronds seemed to tighten in frustration. It picked up the papers before it, looking through them for a long, long, long moment.

I can understand, Harry and Eragon. I can almost understand the Juggernaut. I'm a bit... uncertain of Dumbledore. But Saphira too?

Alec shifted uncomfortably, staring at the ceiling. "Well," he said finally, "We had a lot to drink... a bit too much perhaps... and then the fey wine* came in, and once that happened there was no real turning back. How was I supposed to know that the dragon drank?"

*Fey wine is an extremely strong aphrodisiac in Alec's world.



And finally, for dove_cg Eragon with a Doritos fetish.

For the third time, as they walked out of Fictional Psychology, Verra smacked Alec up side the head. "Rule number seventy four of Missions, You shall NOT give foreign food to canon characters," she snapped at him.

"I didn't see the Doritos fall out! How was I supposed to know that he'd pick them up and eat them?"

Verra smacked him again. "Because this Eragon, we're talking about. He's the most trusting idiotic twat in existence."

You shouldn't have. The book with the same title as the animated movie isn't about the story at all, it's a "scientific" discussion pressing for the existence of dragons in the past, with little or no actual evidence and enormous gaping holes in the "science" involved.

The movie still made me go through a whole pile of sporks and bleeprin; in some ways it's as bad as Eragon. -.-

The theme song is catchy, though.
