'White As Snow, Red As Blood' (01/11)
May. 13th, 2012 02:25 pmAfter seeing The Avengers it became clear that the story as it was written was never going to work if I wanted to keep it at least a little bit canonical -- or as much as a crossover A/U can be -- so I decided to do a rewrite. I'm reposting the story, which includes rewritten scenes, and new material entirely. The original version I'm leaving up, and can still be found here. As much as had to be rewritten, there was a lot I was spot on about, so that's something! As I see it now, this story will end just before where the movie starts. Thanks to
idontlikegravy for going over the rewrite to make sure I hadn't missed something that needed removed/rewritten. Also, comments make me giddy, just so you know :)

Rating: PG13
Warnings/Notes: Crossover/AU. Methos/OC, Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov implied, Methos & Duncan. This is set before The Avengers, and contains no spoilers for the movie. I can't quite remember what had me interested in researching Snow White, but I did, and came to discover that many cultures have a similar story, and that immediately bred a plot bunny. This is my take on the Snow White folktale with a Loki spin - is he Prince Charming, the Wicked Queen...or both?
Character(s): Methos, Loki, Nick Fury, Duncan MacLeod, Clint Barton, Phil Coulson, Natasha Romanov, Charlotte Sparrow
Summary: Methos doesn't believe in fairy tales – or gods.

Chapter One
Methos doesn't believe in fairy tales – or gods.
Once upon a time, on Earth, Immortals were at the top of the food chain. They may not have known what they were, or where they came from, but they were secure in the knowledge that they were unique and without peer. But there came a day that something happened to shatter that belief. For on that day, the Bifröst opened, bringing through it beings that, in Earth's mythic past, had been considered gods. For the Immortals of Midgard, when the gods returned, the universe, and their place in it, changed irrevocably.
( Joint Dark Energy Mission, Western Division, SHIELD Accelerator, somewhere in New Mexico )
