I'm gonna make make make you work

Folks are doing the request-a-drabble thing, and I'd like to hop on the bandwagon, but it ain't going to be free! I have a fic-related trivia question - first five people to answer it correctly can request a drabble. Give me a fandom and a prompt; it'll be gen unless otherwise requested (partly owing to this discussion of awesome over on tinman_meta). Fandoms I'll happily write in: pretty much anything I have an icon of. (Ask if you're not sure.)

I wrote a story a while back called The Key in response to a marvelous prompt from kseda, which was ostensibly a Tin Man/Return to Oz crossover. However, it also contained a further hidden crossover. I didn't say anything because I thought *someone* would pick up on it, but so far no one has mentioned it. It's a "concept crossover" - there are no actual characters from the other fannish universe present in the story. Answers are screened.

HINT (select the next paragraph with your mouse to see it): Remember the curse that was placed on Cain and Glitch. One of them was always an animal when the other one was human; they would switch periodically. To break the curse, they had to perform a specific action dictated by the person who put the curse on them.

ooh, I don't know if this is what you were going for, but your hint made me think of the movie Ladyhawke!
(Man, I loved the eighties.)

[mrlnpndrgn]

Yes!!!!

What fandom/prompt would you like for your drabble?

Really? ôô
Only ever saw the film's IMDB synopsis ;-)

So, a drabble...

The Rat Patrol : when Troy says to Moffit, about Troy not being an officer, "Oh, they tried..."

Great suggestion! Here's what I came up with: http://amedia.livejournal.com/204256.html

Okay, I've been good. Other than "Ladyhawke" I have no idea what might be the answer.

What is the answer!!!

Got it in one! May I offer you a drabble, my dear? Your choice of fandom* and prompt.

*Any fandom of which I have an icon! ... http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=amedia

I'm going to mix it up on you; Scotty and Kelly are checkmated by Bouhaki ;)

Feel free to tell me to buzz off!

This one might take a little longer than the others! *points to icon* But I'll try.
