m/m fantasy challenge

[pel]

Well, this challenge is technically for a fanfic and not a true original, but as far as I know there isn't really a category for song fanfiction, so I'm putting it here for the moment. (And that's not to be confused with songfic, or band fanfiction.) My challenge is to write a m/m story based on the characters from the song Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud by David Bowie.

This song has always put all kinds of yummy slashy ideas into my mind… (I mean, it is Bowie, after all…) I just think it has so much potential. Why does the boy come down from the mountain? How does he get caught? Who does he meet along the way? I have visions of a sensitive, misunderstood village boy. I'm hoping for something long-ish but anything would be wonderful!

So, I hope someone will go for it… You should check out the song in any case, (it's great) but I'll also post the lyrics so you can see if it inspires you.

Thanks!

P.S... If anyone has ever seen or heard of a story like this already, I'd love to know about it!

Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud

Solemn faced

The village settles down

Undetected by the stars

And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep

And the last thing on his mind

Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned

'Neath the covered wooden shaft

Folds the rope

Into its bag

Blows his pipe of smolders

Blankets smoke into the room

And the day will end for some

As the night begins for one

Staring through the message in his eyes

Lies a solitary son

From the mountain called Freecloud

Where the eagle dare not fly

And the patience in his sigh

Gives no indication

For the townsmen to decide

So the village Dreadful yawns

Pronouncing gross diversion

As the label for the dog

Oh "It's the madness in his eyes"

As he breaks the night to cry:

"It's really Me

Really You

And really Me

It's so hard for us to really be

Really You

And really Me

You'll lose me though I'm always

really free"

And the mountain moved its eyes

To the world of realize

Where the snow had saved a place

For the Wild Eyed Boy

from Freecloud

And the village Dreadful cried

As the rope began to rise

For the smile stayed on the face

Of the Wild Eyed Boy

from Freecloud

And the women once proud

Clutched the heart of the crowd

As the boulders smashed down from the mountain's hand

And the Magic in the stare

Of the Wild Eyed Boy said

"Stop, Freecloud

They won't think to cut me down"

But the cottages fell

Like a playing card hell

And the tears on the face

Of the Wise Boy

Came trembling down

To the rumbling ground

And the missionary mystic of peace/love

Stumbled back to cry among the clouds

Kicking back the pebbles

From the Freecloud mountain

Track.
