Donate-a-Prompt (January)

Don't we all know this feeling of having too many ideas to write and no time to write them all? Is there this one headcanon that you really want to read but can't write it? Or that frustration when you actually do want to write but you can't come up with anything?

Person of Interest AU
(Anonymous) 2018-01-21 03:41 am (UTC)(link)pretty men in billowing trench coats 😍 (https://www.instagram.com/p/BeAAqMrlL7D/) art on Instagram looked like a Steve/Tony "Person of Interest" AU. They requested I post a prompt here! So :D
Tony's the reclusive billionaire who was injured and he's recruiting Steve, a returning war Vet and burned ex-agent. Tony's AI, J.A.R.V.I.S, would predict where people'd get hurt. Setting could be Malibu or New York, though any city with an over-zealous surveillance presence would work.
At first, Steve resists and later he learns more about Tony and they work together. You can play with casting any of the characters into different roles.
I personally see the MCU for this one but really, any verse could work. For 1872, it could be Sheriff Rogers getting mysterious crime tips everytime he walks past the Vision when he first arrives in town. In the Noir verse, it could be Steve getting recruited as an assistant for the famed adventurer Tony Stark who was tragically injured but really, he's being headhunted for his hidden Special Ops past.
You can infuse identity porn, cyberpunk, technoir or just like PoI, no special verses may even be needed. Because billions of ghosts in as many machines already work in concert today, unseen by us.
Please make it as SFW or NSFW as you want, as light or angst-laden, because PoI handled a gamut of emotions with a grace and humanity I've never really seen before in other shows.
Thank you!
