Wherein Dave Strider meets John Crocker at a Hollywood pool party. Alpha timeline fluff. (No, really!) 2,350 words, written for [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo prompt: casual.

[The slightly edited final version is now up on AO3!]

The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship )

---------------------------------------------

This is largely unedited and probably pretty cruddy, but at the moment I am glad enough to have written (and finished!) anything at all that I am posting it before I have time to start thinking it's utter shit and should be consigned to the scrap bin.

I am debating whether to try for another single-line bingo, this time doing nothing but the alpha!Guardians. I have some ideas for how Dave and Rose met, how and why Jade took an interest in Dave, Jade and John exchanging cryptic silly letters over the years, and so on and so forth. I might even write out the Jade-Dave-Rose camping trip or one of the times Rose punked Dave at his own movie premier that I mentioned in "Food and Cheer and Song." It would be an interesting challenge to write nothing but fluff for these guys in that timeline, but I think it might be worth doing. Their world was not ALL angst and horror, after all, particularly not before the Condesce revealed herself.
