Just saying. ^^

oh yes. i love how it's all YAY MAYOR! and within a few hours there's multiple rahm prompts. i love fandom XD
Everyone/Dresden, AU
Harry Dresden as a veterinarian. He can be a regular guy or have some magical talent like talking to animals or hearing what they think. But he still oblivious as hell to all his clients flirting with him. Mouse and Mister are very smart, and cockblock all they deem unworthy.
Kincaid has pet dogs, Marcone is a cat person, etc etc. Authornon chooses characters and their pets.
Bonus points for His Rahm-ness being there.

Inspired by the other Morgan/Dresden prompts floating around. After Deadbeat, Morgan hears alarming rumors about Dresden and Thomas and decides Dresden's foolishness is winning again. He decides to save Dresden from himself, whether Dresden likes it or not.

Dresden/Marcone - The Count of Monte Cristo. Yes, I am a nerd.
(Anonymous) 2011-02-23 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)(insert name here) is a naive, entirely benign young soldier who has just been made captain, and is newly engaged to the wizard Harry Dresden. Just as his life seems like it couldn't get any better, he is framed as a spy/traitor/murderer/(insert other suitably nasty crime here) by four men, each with his own sinister aims, and sent to life imprisonment in whichever suitably fortress-like island prison you choose.
During his years in prison, (insert name here) meets Shiro Yoshimo, a fellow prisoner who becomes his close friend. Shiro educates him in a variety of subjects, helps piece together the truth about his imprisonment, and before dying, tells of a treasure of unthinkable magnitude buried on the island of Demonreach. (insert name here) manages to escape, and finds the treasure.
He returns to Chicago as the mysterious, brooding, immensely wealthy and highly cultivated Gentleman John Marcone. He discovers that the men who sent him to his fate have all become very rich and powerful, and sets about using their own evil pasts and tainted passions to enact an elaborate and cruel revenge on all of them.
Would prefer it to end happily for both Harry and John, in a departure from the original novel, and for Morgan, the Denarians, and Mab to appear in some form.

It could be months before I get to this, but if no one else does, I will do my damnedest to give you something, anon <3 Because CoMC is my favorite Dumas book and this prompt is epic.

- 2011-03-13 01:47 (UTC) - ExpandJohn Marcone's real identity is Dean Winchester. AU from Supernatural series 5. Sam Winchester is back from the grave, and looking for his brother, to find that Dean and Cas vanished not long after he was dragged into Hell, and the only person who might be able to help him is one Harry Dresden. However, when the Chicago outfit starts to take an interest in Sam, including its eerily familiar don, things take a turn for the bizarre.
Harry-as-Fallen-Cas optional but appreciated.

The wonderful Lucia Tanaka posted a snippet from her sequel to "Other things the road to Hell is paved with" (I'd add a link but I'm not sure how)
In it Marcone appears to be about to brutally question someone and Harry is oblivious. There is a great tension in the fic between what Marcone hides/Harry deliberately ignoring and the reality of Marcone's ruthless side.
I'd like to see Harry being confronted with all the actual crime that Marcone is doing. He is in fact a crime lord, so crime must happen. And he may be a lesser evil but his business is still evil.
It can be Hary being called in for questioning by the cops and them showing him pictures to try and turn him, or even just Harry walking into the wrong meeting.
If you want to respond in her verse she's approved that, but it could be any established relationship Marcone/Harry.

First off, no this does not have to include Susan or the Aracane. It can, but if a non-fan wants to fill this (without any bashing, please!) it doesn't have to.
I want an AU where Marcone is still his (awesome) self, but Harry is a reporter instead of a PI. Marcone gives his statements, stories, etc. exclusively to Harry for reasons he keeps to himself. Harry thinks it's because, even though Harry hates what he thinks Marcone does (mafia-wise), Harry only reports honestly, and doesn't let his bias enter his work. Marcone has... other reasons.
Bonus if Harry is still a wizard, and has to turn everything in hand-written or typed on a typewriter, and can't go on-camera without causing issues with the feed.

Dragon!Character/Dresden - slashy, please.
As far as I can recall (and please correct me if I'm wrong), Harry only encounters an actual Dragon once - at Bianca's party, in Grave Peril. That poor Dragon doesn't even get a name. This can stem from that party/moment, or bring that character back later, use someone new, or whatever.
Just give me some Dragon/Dresden love. Because there are not enough Dragons in this fandom.
(Yes, this was a bit inspired by the title to the Thomas/Harry fill, which was wonderful.) :)

Actually, we do know a bit about the dragon at the party. His name was Ferrovax, he was dressed as a Roman centurion (not an outfit-- genuine armor from Roman times) and was pretending to smoke a cigarette to cover the fact he kept blowing out smoke from his mouth.
Also, Word of Jim is that dragons in the Dresdenverse are enormously powerful. Jimmy B said Ferrovax could take on Mab and win. They are forces of the universe, apparently.
And Michael killed one. Michael is awesome.

3 Times Before the Gentleman, 1 Time Harry Almost Remebered
(Anonymous) 2011-02-24 05:51 am (UTC)(link)Marcone/Dresden Hurt/Comfort
Three times Gentleman John Marcone met Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden before he became the Gentleman and One Time Harry almost remembered him from that time before Everything Hurt.
Here's the extremly long title. Basically, write about three moments that John met Harry before he became Marcone in his POV. One time before Malcolm died, another when Harry was in the system, and one when Harry was working at Runaway Angels. Around Runaway Angels is when he was rising up in the mafia world.
Then write one time in present where Harry thinks Marcone seems very familar to someone in the past.
Writer can also turn this into a AU-verse where Marcone regrets not being able to help Harry back then.
Since we don't know his name, I guess you could say that Johnny was his nickname when he met little!Harry.

Harry Dresden is extremely sexually frustrated, but won't admit it. The other people in his head have gotten fed up.
So Harry has a vivid dream in which his subconscious and Lash tie him down and do wicked things to him all night. He wakes up very messy and much more relaxed.
Bonus if someone (Thomas?) notices the difference and asks him what (or who) he's been doing.

In which Sam and Dean start investigating something that Harry's also investigating, leading to working together to solve a case.

Butcher has already invoked this classic trope for Harry and Thomas, which is delightful, but what kind of crazy circumstances would it take for Harry Dresden and John Marcone to pretend to be romantically/sexually involved?

It was the bagel guy's fault. If he hadn't argued with me about whether or not the shop made plain freaking bagels I would have been half way to my office by nine, as usual. And not just stepping out into the street, my plain bagel with cream cheese thumping against my leg in it's bag.
Look, it's not like I have a prejudice against flavored or fancy bagels. It's just that, as far as I'm concerned, the bagel is there to deliver the cream cheese to me. That's all. Anyway. The point is, the new guy argued with me, like it was beneath him to sell me a plain old bagel and it made me late.
Which is how I stepped out into the middle of an assassination attempt.
I'm a PI. I'm observant, usually. But I was, like I said, running late and hungry, het up and smug over my victory. So I powered out of the shop, the little bell jangling a merry victory tune for me and I didn't notice the two guys come running around the corner until one of them slammed into me.
I made a sound that some, the ignorant, might call a squeak as his elbow caught me in the gut and nearly lost my balance. I grabbed the guy's sleeve on instinct to try and steady myself and he turned on me, his eyes wide and frightened.
Recognition flicked over his face and then he was grabbing me, hauling me forward with a grip that might leave bruises even through the protection of my coat.
"Hey!" I dug my heels in and twisted my arm, grabbing the guys wrist as I did so and twisting his arm up and backwards, like Murphy had shown me. I'm most of six feet tall in flats and all wiry muscle. I don't look strong, but I am. I twisted and a neat little high pitched whine erupted from the guy. "Don't go grabbing at women, jack ass!"
"Ms. Dresden, you gotta run!"
"What?" I let him go, pushing him away from me as I did so. Which is when the other guy came around the corner and opened fire. I saw the gun coming up from his side, slow and still way too fast, and it gave me just enough time to throw out my hand and raise my shield. Bullets spat out at us in controlled groups, multicolored sparks flecking off the shield with each hit.
His gun clicked empty and I dropped the shield, flicking my hand at him and triggering one of my rings. It knocked him on his ass as he ducked down to try and grab what I assumed was a hold out gun. When I say knocked, I mean shot him back ten feet into the middle of the street. Car horns screamed and the squeal of breaks made me wince. A little more force than I'd meant to use.
The guy lay there, totally still in front of a car's bumper maybe two inches from his face. I turned to the two guys who'd been running.
"What the fuck was all that?" Grabby-guy was just staring, mouth a little open, his eyes flicking rapidly between me and the idiot in the street. The other guy had come trotting back and was looking at street guy with a vicious gleam in his eyes.
"Ma'am. Sorry about that. We had a little disagreement with that guy over there."
"You don't say." I smoothed my hands over my hair and realized my bagel was gone. Sirens started up in the distance and rapidly came closer. "Dammit. You gonna collect him or what? I'm leaving." I spotted my little paper bag full of yum. It was under Grabby-guy's boot. Squashed and dirty. And a little bloody. Grabby-guy was bleeding from his thigh. It was bad enough that the side of his slacks was heavy and sticking to his leg, the blood dripping down his shoe.
"Fuck. Where's your car?"
"About four blocks back." Other-guy saw the blood too and frowned. He knelt down and started to wrap his tie over the wound. It was a piss poor bandage, but I'd left my first aid kit in my other pants. "Ma'am. We'll be fine. Executive Priority's just a block that way. I'll get him there. Mr. Marcone doesn't want us getting-"
"Screw Marcone. And don't call me ma'am. Do I look like your mother? Get in my car. I'll dump you there." Grabby-guy was criminal. I mean, he worked for Marcone, so obviously he wasn't on the up and up. Didn't mean I could let him bleed to death because of it.

Dresden Files does Dark Shadows. I mean come on Thomas is de-interred after centeries to find the re-incarnations of his beloved Justine and his baby brother Harry? How would that not rock? Supernatural Soap Opera for the win!
Bob and Maeve both like to present themselves as having their minds permanently resident in (or beneath) the gutter. If they meet and enthusiastically continue their usual behavior patterns would it be possible for them to sexually harass each other? How filthy can their attempts get?
And is this possibly related to what Bob did to so thoroughly piss off Mab?
This is in response to the prompt of Harry being shocked by Marcone's criminal enterprises. I don't see Harry suspicious-as-all-hell Dresden being that shocked - it was months before he trusted Susan, and with somebody he has a history of antagonism with it would probably be worse. Can I have a fill in which Harry knows a fair bit of John's business,doesn't like it, but accepts it. Seeing someone trying to shock him with it and Harry being all 'I know this, why are you telling me' would be good. No offence to previous anon intended.
I'm on a historical fiction kick and this idea really struck me:
As the Roman legions pull back from Britain and parts of Europe, Marcone as a pure-blooded "Roman" actually born in the area, and Harry as a local wizard.
On one hand, in this period of history, everyone believes in wizards, so Harry's social standing is a hell of a lot better among his people and he's not the biggest fan of Romans. On the other hand, Marconius is so damn clever and efficient as a leader and wants Harry on his side. As neighboring tribes start to invade their borders, can they work together?
And of course, in this era of history, it actually isn't all that unrealistic that they might have sex.

I think there was something in prompt round 1 asking for Marcone in a toga.

Inspired by the quote "love means never having to say you're sorry."
Harry's in a relationship with someone, but is struggling with the idea that it might just be sex, and not love. Which also makes him question his own feelings.
Angsty, please, but with a (somewhat?) happy ending.

At some point post-Small Favor Marcone has Nicodemus secured in a cage. Assume Nick can't escape and isn't rescued. How much useful information does Marcone get out of him? How much does Nick twist it? How nasty does vengeance get?
