Fading Lights

I'm pondering if I should combine my desire for Jayden and Antonio raising Jayden's daughter together with my desire for Samurai coffee shop AU.

You see, Wordsplat took this sign and made a really cute Avengers version with Steve/Tony. (Wordsplat is AMAZING, by the way. Go read everything she's ever written. Seriously, GO.)

I've been contemplating whether or not Closeted needs a sequel. Originally I had planned to write one, but then everyone who read it has commented sees to love it as an answer to canon. Which. -Writer Squee of Happiness- But now I'm not sure if it needs a sequel after all?

But then I read Wordsplat's fic and saw the sign for it, and now I'm thinking Antonio and Lauren end up working in a coffee shop together post-Samurai and Antonio is an indie musician on the side and they are BFFs. Although I haven't decided which former Ranger/Rangers would own/be involved in this, and I'm kind of scared that it may turn into the coffee version of Ranger's Rest if I'm not careful.

Because.

(Seriously there are Reasons for these things in my head but they take too long to explain and no one really understands my trail of thought anyway.)

So now I want Samurai Coffee AU, or at least Samurai Coffee Shop fic, (Or Rocky/Adam Coffee Shop fic, because I can so see this for them too), but I also want Antonio/Jayden with babies, and a happier ending to splitting them up, and ALL THE FLUFF*.

Thoughts?



* I spent the last two days marathoning Men in Black, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (for Towel Day), Shounen Onmyoji and Haruoki with Shi-chan. The last two BROKE MY HEART. (She has a genre, even if she denies it.)

I've been reading a lot of Avengers fic for the past few days. Mostly because I've been tired and cranky and needed lots of fluff. (I have a strong love of fluffy Tony/Steve with lots of snuggling of Steve, as well as SuperFamily because as Iron Man3 proved that Tony with a child is always adorable.) Also because my CharlieMuse and ShinyAntonioMuse are still duking it out over which one of them should have my attention first, and I'm not going to be able to get any writing done until they stop trying to shout each other down in my head.

Anywho, this lead me to the sudden thought that Jayden's favorite non-Ranger hero would be Captain America. Ironically my realization that Iron Man would be Antonio's actually had nothing to do with my love of Avengers or Certain Pairings in particular. I was actually thinking about how Jayden would like Captain America because he could emphasize with his sense of duty and patriotism, and feeling out-of-place among his own friends, and I realized that Antonio would admire Iron Man because they're both self-made heroes. And as a bonus Iron Man is gold and red, and we all know how Antonio feels about those Colors.

I don't have an actual plot about when or why this scene would take place yet, but suggestions are always welcome. But mostly since I started thinking about it and how I want to write now, I've been trying to decide who the rest of the team's favorite non-Ranger superhero/heroes would be. (Obviously the non-Ranger clarification is necessary.) Anyone have thoughts to share?
