The SFX Prompt Big Bang was a multifandom big bang challenge, focused on science fiction and fantasy fandoms, with the one difference from a traditional big bang being that the authors had to choose from submitted prompts for their story inspiration. Authors had to write a minimum of 10,000 words, and artists had to submit a minimum of one piece of a medium of their choosing.

Masterlist

Author: lazydazyfics
Title: Burn Down My Home
Fandom: Firefly/Dollhouse
Pairing: Topher/River pre-relationship
Wordcount: 11,607
Summary: A crew in need of work. A doctor in need of a ride. A brother in search of his sister. A sister who doesn’t know who she is and an Alliance with a secret no-one should have been able to discover. Will Mal get them work? Will Jayne get to blow things up? And will Wash ever stop playing with toy dinosaurs?
Artist: anlinn
Notes/Warnings: Thank you to my long-suffering beta and co-mod glitterfics who a) convinced me we could run a big bang and b) helped me through my fic even when I was at my most exasperating. For those of you that might be interested (and not already worked it out for yourself), the story’s title is from the song Remains by Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon. It’s the song played at the end of Dollhouse’s “Epitaph One”.
Prompter: susanmarier
Prompt: Serenity’s crew finds a Dollhouse outpost maintained via cyborgs (more human than machine who’s imprints are Topher, Adele, and more) on a Rim Planet (or Moon). Would probably need to be set before the Movie, and most likely need to disregard the epilog season and series endings of Dollhouse.

Title: Cracks in the surface
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Jack/Nine/Rose
Wordcount: 27539
Summary:After the events on satallite five Jack, Rose and the Doctor keep travelling together. But what happened on that satellite, and the secrets that the Doctor keeps are threatening to tear them apart. Between strange dreamworlds, kidnappings and fights it seems their relationship is on the verge of collapsing.
Artist: mella68
Notes/Warnings: implied Nine/Jack/Rose but not explicit. It doesn't exactly follow the prompt but this is what it turned into. Also, I should point out, that originally this story was supposed to be longer, but my muze decided to take a permenant vacation from this story. Sorry about that. I'd like to thank my best friend who took over from checking for mistakes when my original beta dropped out. It is possible that there are some mistakes in it. Not entirly sure whether I really like how it ended but at least I finished it right? I hope I'm posting this right.
Prompter: whogate
Prompt:Jack didn't get left behind on Satellite 5. Instead he traveled with the Doctor and Rose through season 2. While closing the gap in Doomsday, Jack gets sucked into the void and spit out in Cardiff where he gets picked up by Torchwood (either present day or in the past). I would love to see the Doctor and Rose trying to get Jack back and Jack with Torchwood as he waits for them to find him. Whether the Doctor regenerated is up to the author. - Jack/Doctor or OT3

Title: In an Orbit All the Way Around You
Fandom: Star Trek (Reboot)
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy, background: Spock/Uhura, surprise pairing
Wordcount: 23,500
Summary: Centuries after the Eugenics Wars, Earth is still suffering from the effects of the war's brutal Guide Cull. When the Enterprise is sent to a planet claiming to have produced a serum which replicates the Guide gene, is this the answer Earth's Sentinels have been waiting for? And how is it going to affect Jim Kirk, the Enterprise's Sentinel captain?
Artist: numberthescars
Notes/Warnings: This is a Sentinel!AU of Star Trek. The finished fic ended up going in a different direction to the promp,t despite by best efforts, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Title taken from 'Satellite' by Lena (I am unashamed of the Europop).
Contains: humour, sexual content, swearing, violence and lots of made up mad science. Also playing fast and loose with Sentinel fanon.
Prompter: Umm...it was me *hides*
Prompt: The Enterprise passes through a nebula (or something equally Star Trek-ish) which causes the entire crew to black out. When they awake they begin to exhibit strange symptoms; enhanced senses, empathic abilities etc. Tests show that the cloud awoke Sentinel and Guide genes which have been dormant in most races for centuries.

Fandom: The Avengers (MCU)
Characters: Bruce Banner (Hulk), Clint Barton (Hawkeye), Nick Fury, J.A.R.V.I.S., Steve Rogers (Captain America), Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), Tony Stark (Iron Man), Thor (, Maria Hill, Pepper Potts)
Pairing: Bruce Banner/Tony Stark
Wordcount: 18971
Summary:Bruce and Tony find themselves sharing a telepathic connection in the aftermath of yet another villainous plot. It leads them to places neither of them could have anticipated as they sink deeper beneath each other’s skins.
Artist: anlinn
Notes/Warnings: Sexual content (masturbation & handjobs), slash (m/m), violence, non-important character death, little bits of bad language.
Prompter: glitterfics
Prompt: Some lab accident or attack by a villain leads to Bruce and Tony becoming linked telepathically. How does this affect them? (Tony has to keep hold of his temper in case he sets the Hulk off, Bruce gets urges to drink - or hit on anything that moves etc) - Bruce/Tony

Title:All I've Ever Wanted
Fandom: The Avengers
Pairing: Clint/Darcy, background Tony/Pepper Wordcount:10,130
Summary: Darcy loves her job, she just wishes she heard thanks more
Artist: susanmarier
Notes/Warnings:. With many and profuse thanks to xdawnfirex who calls me on my shit and makes me do better.
Prompter: caitriona_3
Prompt:: Darcy feels out of place with the Avengers, maybe even thinks of leaving, but the others know her value. She's the one they go to for a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen, someone who will just sit quietly and let them breathe, or will jabber on about nothing/everything so they can remember why they go through all the blood and toil. Best of all, she is willing to hold them as they shake. (This is not a "Darcy sexes the whole team" idea - the idea is Darcy as everyone's touchstone to the rest of the world.) - Darcy/Clint

Title: Oldest Story In The World
Fandom: Eureka
Pairing: Jack/Nathan
Word Count: 21K
Summary: (AU: Sentinel fusion) After fifteen years as an un-bonded Sentinel, Jack Carter has come to terms with the reality that either his Guide doesn’t exist or is one of the many who chose not to join the Sentinel-Guide Union. Between his daughter's rebellions, his trigger happy deputy and the town’s insane scientists, Jack doesn’t have time to dwell on it. Then Nathan Stark comes to Eureka. Jack recognizes him immediately as a Guide. An unregistered Guide, which means by custom and law, Jack isn’t allowed to acknowledge him as a Guide. Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem. But Nathan is Jack’s Guide. Plan A: Avoid Stark. Except, rogue weather bots and the secret schemes of the town's residents make that impossible. Unfortunately, he hasn’t come up with plan B.
Aartist: sunryder
Notes/Warnings: None
Prompter: glitterfics
Prompt: Sentinel Jack Carter had always had a weakness for strong beautiful women so he figured that his Guide would’ve been just like that if they’d ever met but they never had. So he decided to come to terms with the fact he was obviously widowed-before-bonding and focus all his attention on his crazy new Sheriff job and having his daughter back in his life instead. Then he met the ex-husband of the latest strong beautiful woman to catch his interest. The ex-husband who turned out to be the unlikeliest Guide in the world and who sent all of Jack’s Sentinel senses into overdrive. (Up to writer if Nathan actually knows that he’s a Guide before meeting Jack)

Title: Clementine
Author: shirleyann66
Artist: susanmarier
Prompter: caitriona_3
Prompt: Kirk's past is darker than his friends realize. Long before the scene in the bar, Kirk had to face some punishment for driving his dad's car off a cliff. His mother sends him to visit his aunt on Tarsus IV. The food shortage and massacre by Kodos still occur. Kirk survived and returned to Earth - the young boy gone for good. Now, as Captain of the Enterprise, something (author's choice) brings up those old memories, and his nightmares return/come to life/???. Spock and McCoy have to find their own connection in order to help Kirk deal with the old trauma and new danger. (Obviously inspired by the "Conscious of the King", but hoping to see some great new story!) - Kirk, Spock, McCoy (not a 'ship please)
Fandom: Star Trek Reboot
Relationship(s)/Characters: Gen - Kirk, Spock, McCoy; background Spock/Uhura; McCoy/Chapel; Kirk/OC's if you squint.
Word Count: ~17,290
Rating: PG-13

Disclaimers: In case you're wondering: I don't own Star Trek in any of its incarnations. This fic is for entertainment and non-profit use only.
A/N: This fic is somewhat experimental. Except for any stray typos, this fic is deliberately written this way. I hope it works.
