Summary: Spoilers for the new F4 movie. Human Torch takes after to capture Silver Surfer.
Author’s Notes: Based on the movie. I know nothing about the comics. Silver Surfer though caught my attention. Enigmatic and so cool.
The First Time They Meet
He is Johnny “Human Torch” Storm, one fourth of the great team Fantastic 4, a celebrity no less, and the limelight is all his. He’s as cool as ever with a heavy dose of flash, and he has some smarts, intelligent hidden behind the cockiness and the overabundance of confidence. There will be situations he’ll simply fuck up. He won’t know it, though, till it’s over.
“Flame on,” Johnny yells when the weird dude surfs in on his board.
Johnny pounces after him like a cat on a mouse.
The dude is fast. Look at him, ducking and weaving, arms straight out to the sides holding balance, and then he bends and rolls, keeping it together Mr. Metal Slinky. They are like one, man and board, surfing to the air waves, man. Johnny could use a good surfboard the next time he goes to the beach with his friends. And definitely could do with the cool metallic suit.
Wow, he’s awesome, he thinks, trying to catch up. Maybe the dude can tell him how to get a body like that. Then the Silver Surfer looks back on Johnny. Tantalizing him, taunting him with his supreme power. The cold expression on his face tells Johnny to catch me if you can. Johnny remembers this is the enemy.
Johnny kicks it up a notch. His body a human torch flaming the sky, not even the winds can withstand the awesomeness of his power. And the Human Torch can’t catch the surfer dude. Barely misses the silver ball lobbed at him.
Johnny becomes frustrated, although, no one can witness the change in him, an emotion not often seen by others. It matters that he knows and the Silver Surfer knows because he making Johnny’s power chop meat on a brown platter.
Despite the mental brilliance of his soon to be brother-in-law, the beautiful, smart invisible, shield wielding sister, and the Thing, ugly and freakish strong. Johnny still can’t wrap his mind around how Alicia and the Thing get it on. To the world, he’s the best of the best of the four. Versatile and hot. Slash and burn, baby, the Human Torch is here.
The Silver Surfer leaves him eating air waves dust. Can’t save humanity if you can’t hang in there with the big guys.
Tired of being left behind, Human Torch draws deep within himself, all blustery and heat, pours on the octane and there he goes. In the Zen, feeding on oxygen, speed at full throttle. So much so, he overshoots his destination and the unsuspecting and overly confident Surfer.
And nothing happens. That’s right, but for the feel of a cold hand grabbing him around his neck, squeezing his throat and it dawns on Johnny he might be in serious trouble.
While he’s gasping for breath, he stares at the face of his enemy. Johnny can’t latch onto anything, his body afloat in outer space. Except he briefly touches the skin and it’s real. Made of metallic skin and not the suit he thought of originally. The cool features of a perfect specimen, granite and slick muscles. Lips the right size, beautiful enough for kissing. It’s the eyes that capture the most of his attention.
Which seem to penetrate Johnny down to his bare soul, he’s looking back, though, willing this thing to let him go. Chills seep through the tough material of his uniform, sliding between the pores of fabric and skin. The cool threads fill his entire body snuffing out the flames, killing his energy. The surfer drops him like the chop meat that he is and Johnny floats in semi-consciousness from outer space back to his world. If he doesn’t get it together soon, bad things will happen and the world will see exactly the result of one super power going on the lame.
“Flame on.”
“Flame on,” he says, louder, absolutely determined.
Splash.
He hits the ground at the point of where it all started. He lives. Sue is there. So are Reed and Ben, concerns written on their faces. Human Torch tries to put Johnny back together again, bringing on the loud, sometimes obnoxious boy/man. But something changes from the touch of that glorious silvery ice. It goes deep and it’s inside of him, the converging of two different energy sources, ice meeting flames, warmth meeting cold, a breakdown of sort like the smooth touch of a lover claiming each other.
End.

This is exactly what I want to see! You did an excellent job here, Nic. Torch/Silver Surfer is an *excellent* combo, and you captured the elemental side of it so well. *g* I am definitely a happy camper. Someone needs to start a Silver Surfer Slash community.

Bravo!
Wow, thank you, T for your comments.
The first F4 movie did nothing for me. But when I saw the Silver Surfer in the latest movie, I went oh, yeah. He so belong with the Human Torch.
I looked and there are no “good” communities on LJ. I’ll help you moderate one if you so incline to start one.
I need a name. If we could come up with a good name, I’d be inclined to start one…
I was thinking tht “Silver Surfer Slash” would be broad enough, but LJ restricts to just 15 characters, so you have to abreviate, somehow. Could go for a Fantastic Four Slash-type group, but there aren’t a lot of other viable pairings with FF, really. A Silver Surfer community, however, would work with Torch, and anything else that comes up when his own movie comes out.
Let me know your thoughts…
SS-Slash is available…
Whoa, You work fast. I just joined and will post entire fic there. Normally, I link my stories to my journal wanting to maintain control.
For first story up I think it should be in full form.
Also…
SS is the attraction for me. So yes, I love that SS has his own community. I’ve located additional info on SS on the net. This should be real interesting. This is my first time in comicverse fandom.
Okay, once you join I’ll make you a mod.
Then I have to find the time to trick the space out. LOL
I’ll fill in the basics, though, but the major work will have to wait until next weekend. I can’t do it today because I have a fic chapter to finish and some other RL work to do…
But if you have any ideas about…anything…holler. After the space is set up properly, we can announce it.
As for your fic–I still think you should do a header and link to it in your journal. That way you can have all of your comments in one place.
It’ll be fun. We’ll set it up and see what kind of interest there is. I know a couple of other people on my f-list who mentioned writing Torch/Silver Surfer Slash. It should snowball because of the movieverse nature of the scenario, rather than a stright comic book thing, which tends to scare people off.
Cool. I’ll delete it and re-add using a link.
This is a surprise for me so during the week I’ll think on possibilities for SS community. I’ve been eking out a Knockaround Guys story trying to push beyond my comfort zone.
I liked Knockaround Guys! Always wanted there to be more slash out there for that movie! Will love to see if when you’re through.

Planned 15,000 words. Completed 12,000. Then I will have to edit and have the delete key handy. Meantime, I go to the movie and practically run home to write in another fandom. I’m so in trouble. LOL
Good choice in selecting S2 flexible layout for SS Comm.
>>Planned 15,000 words. Completed 12,000.
Sounds great. I have to watch that movie again. It was *so* slashy. LOL
>>Good choice in selecting S2 flexible layout for SS Comm.
I have to go with what I know. I don’t have time to learn anything new. LOL
I’ve only seen the trailer (and had a WTF?moment, because I think I remember a cartoon series from my childhood starring the Silver Surfer, and in the trailer he seemed like the bad guy). And I didn’t plan to go and watch the movie, but now I just might. This pairing does seem interesting, and you fic has made those two catch my interest. Very captivating.
SS-Slash, huh? I thnk I better not tell you what I thought of when I read that.
You might be right about the cartoons. The movie version tends to be somewhat dark and angsty.
Okay, I’m going to guess. Slash between certain military personnel. Way before you were born. Even before I was born. You’re naughty.
LOL
wow, that was a beautiful description!!
Not my fault! They pretty much drowned us in terms such as Third Reich and Nazis from 7th to 13th grade (have to make sure we all realize that what happened was bad), I have no choice but to make that association. Germans are very conscious of their past. The World Cup must have been the first occasion during which our people waved flags and openly took pride in being German since WWII. And I don’t care if we surprised the world and bettered our image, I still don’t like football.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Now repeat after me: SS is Silver Surfer, SS is Silver Surfer. Gotta it. LOL
You don’t like football as in Soccer or American Football or both. I enjoy football just to watch the affect on my hubby. There are times I’ve to peel him off the ceiling or check his pulse when he’s gotten very, very quiet.
…Silver Surfer, SS is Silver Surfer.
I meant soccer, but ake it both. I’m not really into sports. They only wreak havoc with the tv programme and make me miss my shows.
