Rating: PG-13
Summary: 10 alternate universe versions of Brooklyn.
1. wild west:
Night swept across the desert like a curtain drawn across the window, driving the people of Little New York into their homes to await the coming of the dawn. Atop the unfinished bell tower of the town's tiny chapel, a lone figure perched like an overlarge crow, eyes drawn to the only person left on the dusty main street. The brick red creature rose up, spreading his wings in preparation of a leap. He rested a hand on the mother of pearl handles of his pistols; they felt heavy to him, ready to do their job and bring down the cattle rustling, horse stealing son-of-a-bitch who had been making a mockery of law in this town.
Brooklyn checked the shiny tin star on his vest, then made the leap. Tonight, someone was going to eat lead.
2. cyberpunk:
"Oh hell no." Brooklyn shook his head, backing away from the port implanter. "I am 100% grade A genuine me, and I'm not looking to go adding any gadgets."
"We don't just have plug ins, my good sir, we also have the very latest in gene re-writing technology! One little prick-"
"I am so gone."
3. furries:
Brooklyn looked down at the thick pelt coating his arms and announced, "When we catch up with Servarius, I am dropping him from the highest point I can reach. And no one's going to try and catch him, okay? Good."
4. Pirates
Brooklyn clung to the crow’s nest, eyes narrowed as he scanned the inky sea, on the look out for any attack. A dark blot lingered on the horizon, and he grabbed the spy glass and put it to his eye. Even in the darkness, he could see the flag fluttering on the wind, the skull and crossbones looking almost cheerful as it waved.
Pirates.
Brooklyn sounded the alarm.
5. In space
Brooklyn braced his himself against the bulkhead and pushed, sending him spinning weightlessly through the cabin, grabbing for the tube of food paste he’d accidentally let go of. “Come back here, you-!” He crashed into the opposite wall, pushed off again, and groaned as he continued to tumble. “Ugh. I think I’m gonna be sick…”
6. Born another Gender
Elisa tilted her head slightly to one side, a smile twitching at the corners of her mouth. “I’m, uh, not sure Brooklyn is really a name for a girl,” she told the female gargoyle as she tried to bring some order to the untidy white braid that snaked it’s way down her back, almost to the base of her brick red tail.
“I like it,” she said. “It rolls off the tongue.” She swiped a hand down her beak and grinned a little, in her odd way.
7. School fic
“Lex…”
“Shhh.”
“Seriously, if this explodes, the principle is gonna have both our hides.”
“It’s not gonna explode, and even if it does, it’s not like anyone will be able to prove it was us.”
8. Urban Fantasy
Brooklyn shut the fridge with his tail, humming under his breath in between bites of sandwich.
9. Harem
“You know,” Brooklyn mused as he flopped down on one of the floor cushions, “this wasn’t what I was picturing when the word ‘harem’ came up.”
“What, you thought she was going to give you a bevvy of beautiful women?” one of the other men asked with a laugh.
10. Human!AU
“Hey, Brook! Pay a little attention, huh?” Lex spun his chair around a few times before snatching a stress ball off his desk and hitting Brooklyn right in the forehead. “Seriously, I’m gonna set that magazine on fire. Followed by your bike.”
“You are not touching the bike,” Brooklyn replied. “Because you love the bike almost as much as I do, and I’ve designed wicket awesome helmets.” He scooped up his own and held it up, the long face shield almost against his own rather beaky nose.
“It makes you look like a tuccan,” Lex said.
