Title: The Blood of Gods and Kings
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Tora, Bea, Ted, Guy, L-Ron, Queen Olaf (flashback only)
Rating: R
Word Count: 5,473
Continuity: Elseworld. Flashbacks take place sixteen, twelve, eight, and four years ago respectively. The "present-day" sections of the story take place directly after Diamond in the Rough.
Summary: Tora's story. Tora sleeps, Bea makes a deal with Mad Doc Kord, Guy notices… things.
Disclaimer: DC owns ‘em.
Author’s Notes/Warnings: Nothing explicit, but there are definitely some mature themes here (slavery, rape, war, etc.).
Special notes on Norse mythology/Tora's spirituality, because this will come up again: Given the culture she grew up in, it's likely that Tora was named in honor of Thor, Norse god of thunder. He's generally regarded as a loud, brash redhead (hmm...), but he was also viewed as a protector and is a very important god to Tora's people. It's worth noting that when slaves die, they go to Thor's hall, Bilskirnir. Vali, who gets one tiny mention here, is a Norse god of vengeance.

Whosoever can produce one or more nice Bea/Tora icons for me gets a drabble of some sort. I need to practice my drabbling skillz anyway.
Whosoever can produce a Bea/Guy/Tora icon wins the internet (and also probably something longer than a drabble).
I can see it in your eyes now. You all think I can't write anything that's less than 700 words, don't you?
...You're probably right. But that just means that my pathetic inability to be concise in my fic is your gain!

femslash_today(and also posted in the comments to that post). Also, this is one of two Bea/Tora prompts (thank you ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
museofspeed), but there's no limit to how many people can tackle each prompt, so I'm just going to nudge everyone in that direction with a giant Hint Hammer. I'm not the only person who writes Bea/Tora, am I? ( The joys of bisexuality below the cut )
I'm only ten prompts away from fulfilling my 80-prompt Guy Gardner claim, and five from fulfilling my much shorter Dibnys claim. I've quite enjoyed dcu_freeforall, and I've decided that, as soon as I finish one or the other of the claims I already have, I'm going to make a claim for the JLI. I haven't decided just how many prompts, yet, but I've decided to ask for some advice.
Anyone know any particular prompt tables, or any particular individual prompts, that you think would make for good JLI stories? Obviously my favorites are the Beetle/Booster/Fire/Guy/Ice version of the JLA, but technically the JLE also counts -- and of course any supporting characters from those books. While you're at it, now would be a good time to suggest any story ideas that you wouldn't mind seeing written on such a table. Basically anything that would help me set up or pick out a nice prompt table is welcome.
Hey... I need Bea/Tora icons.

Rating: NC-17 (okay, it's not crazy graphic, but just to be safe...)

Prompt: Alive
Continuity: Right after Bea and Tora's reunion in the pages of Checkmate
Summary: Tora's alive. Bea just needs to be sure.

Author's Notes/Warnings: Shameless porn, for the 2008 Femslash Porn Battle. One of the very few Bea/Tora prompts that I didn't prompt myself (hooray!)
Author: Duskdog
Characters/Pairing: Bea/Tora
Rating: R (Best friends talking about sex -- do the math)
Word Count: 2,512
Prompt: Gender-Swap (Cliche Fic-a-Thon #9)
Continuity: JLI-era
Summary: Thanks to some questionable magic and something that was probably Booster's fault, Bea is cursed with the body of a man for a couple of days. She's making the best of it, but Tora is mildly squicked.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: The thing I like best about Bea/Tora as a couple is that it doesn't change the fact that they were (and are) best friends, first. I would kill for a Fire and Ice: Year One sort of thing detailing their adventures when they first met. Sure, DC would probably never go the femslash route, but that's okay: BEST FRIENDS! I think female readers could really connect with a pair of characters who have the same sorts of conversations that they have with their best friends when they're hanging out in a bedroom together or eyeing hot guys or are a little bit drunk at the pool. And also, there would be crimefighting. (P.S. Bea/Tora icons -- anyone have any up for grabs?)

Characters/Pairing: Bea/Tora (Fire/Ice, y'know, it's a natural combo.)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,651
Continuity: Bea and Tora's days with the Global Guardians. (Or, in terms of my fic, after Lost and Found but before Spontanaeity.)
Summary: It's snowing in Paris. Tora is thrilled. Bea is... not.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Not-quite-fluent!Tora owns my heart. And Bea's, only neither of them quite realize it yet at this point. Bea = crushing SO HARD. Yeah, I know I said I wanted to write some Tora independent of Bea and/or Guy, and I am, but this happened in the meantime. Wait, what... I don't have a Bea/Tora icon?

Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,027
Continuity: Just after Tora joins the Global Guardians.
Summary: Tora just wanted to expand her horizons. But now she's lost and alone in Paris, and doesn't speak any language but her own. Someone had better come find her.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: I have intense love for these two, even without Guy as the filling in their sexy sandwich. LOVE, I say.
The JLI is reasonably popular these days. The characters have had a rough time of it the past few years, but they've been experiencing a revival lately. Resurrections of dead characters, popping up as a team in books like Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, getting their very own long-overdue line of action figures from DC Direct... the JLI is everywhere! But while Booster and Beetle have their very own fan following, and Guy Gardner has his, Fire and Ice have been somewhat neglected. I think, of the two, Tora seems to have more fans even though she's been dead for quite a while and isn't regularly appearing in any books right now (hopefully that will soon change, because Tomasi has said that he "has plans" for Guy and Tora in the pages of Green Lantern Corps). Bea appears regularly in Checkmate, and has actually had some pretty interesting stories over there. So why does no one ever write about her?
Characters/Pairing: Bea/Tora
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 404
Continuity: Bea and Tora's Global Guardians days
Summary: Beatriz is impulsive. Tora doesn't mind.
Disclaimer: DC owns lots of slashariffic ladies, and these happen to be two of them.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Whether you read them as a romantic couple, or as just good friends, these two are probably one of the closest pairs of women in any comic, ever, and yet they suffer from a dire lack of fanfic. Written for
