Wednesday: Time

[4bdnsn0wflake.livejournal.com]

Happy Wednesday! 4bdnsn0wflake here again, bringing you a new theme.

Today’s theme is Time.

Quite simply, prompts can have anything to do with time.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...

+ Author’s Choice, any character(s);

The witching hour
Must be at hand
Cause I’m so in love
I can barely stand

- Judybats

+ MCU, any character(s), running out of time

+ Gundam Wing, any character(s), time to go

+ Lucifer, any character(s), it’s only forever

We use AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2019 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

[Fill] Donald Strachey Mysteries - Donald Strachey/Timothy Callahan - Weak Kneed

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

The keys fell through Donald's cold clumsy fingers and hit the carpet with a muffled clink. For a moment he stared at them, exhaustion stupid, before something fired in his brain and he remembered what he needed to do. Bending over was a Herculean task and he felt every second of his thirty nine years weighing down on him, threatening to take him to the mat and tap him out.

"I thought I heard you out here."

The words broke through the fog before the realization that the door was now open. Carefully, he retrieved his keys and straightening slowly, returned them to his pocket.

The smell of coffee, fresh and high quality, along with eggs and something sweet, probably waffles, wafted from the apartment. They tickled Donald's nose with the promise of a full belly that warmed him from the inside out.

His eyes however, were locked onto the image of Timmy in jeans and a thick sweater that looked so soft that Donald just wanted to rest his head on it and sleep for hours. He wore thick, white, weekend socks and held a tea towel in one hand. His smile, though, bright and full, whispered welcome home, you are safe and loved here in a way that threatened to send Donald back to his knees.

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

"I should go. I have an early meeting tomorrow." Quatre sighed, but made no effort to move from where he was curled up next to Trowa.

Trowa nodded to show he had heard, his fingers lightly caressing Quatre's arm in response.

Sighing again, Quatre snuggled in closer and rested his head on Trowa's shoulder. "I guess I can stay until the end of the movie."

Smiling, Trowa tightened his hold for just a moment then relaxed, returning his attention to the vid screen.

"You have to go back," Amenidiel argued. "Hell needs you."

"Right," Lucifer said, waving off his brother's words like they were annoying flies. "Because it's only forever with the damned souls. That's it. Not long at all."

From the expression on Amenidiel's face, he didn't get the reference. Lucifer snorted. "In other words, brother, no.."

FILL: shadowhunters, Magus/Alec

[cozy-coffee.livejournal.com]

Magnus kisses him once again, sweetly, lovely, lips as soft as the petals of a rose. He kisses his cheeks, his neck, and his lips, every one making Alec’s skin tingle and his heart tap dance in his chest. He gazes into those eyes that shimmer like diamonds, he swears he sees little hearts swirling around in the words—a foolish thought that makes Magnus playfully roll his eyes when he says such lovey-dovey devotions, even if he grins like a fool in love as well.

And Magnus is anything but a dream, there he stands, smiling so sweetly, a bright fondness shimmering in his eyes. So Alec grins like a fool in love as his heart speeds up, and he pulls Magnus close, kissing his lips softly. A flash of heat ran through him as gentle hands palmed his cheeks. A fond grin, fingers tangled up in shaggy hair to tug slowly enough to bring them closer. Their lips touch tenderly, slow and sweet, and all Alec cares about was this moment here, left breathless by the touch of his beloved soul mate.

FILL: Mad Max, Max/Jessie, The world will burn

[cozy-coffee.livejournal.com]

Her soul is bleeding. A flame within ignites into a blaze, she screams out his name as Death grips her tight. Max hisses like a hellcat, clawing at the darkness that eagerly tries to take Jessie from him.

Her rosy pink cheeks pale, her once bright sparkling eyes dim, her ruby red lips melt away; her stunning colors are fading as the virus takes hold of her heart. The pain was unbearable, she sobs in Max’s arms, endured the wrath of sickness. She coughs blood, shaking violently in his embrace as her heart begins to slow.

Tears flowing, soul breaking, Max begs his beloved sweetheart to remain with him. “Darling, please, I know you are hurting, but never stop fighting.” He pleads with her, even as Death takes her into his arms and embraces her with the touch of eternal rest. She takes her last breath and the world around Max suddenly turned darker.

The air is rank with putrid musk; the sun scorches his skin, burning him. He is barely breathing as he gently cradles Jessie in his arms, and she is lost to him, she should truly belong by his side where even on the darkness days her bright burning love shines a light into his soul. Max screams into the smoldering world burning ashes into the earth, scars on his body, and a jagged hole in his broken heart.

Any, any, "Only Time" (Enya)

FILL: SPN Weechesters, cuddling

[cozy-coffee.livejournal.com]

For the past few hours a storm has been ragging outside, sounding like a battle field. Wind whisking briskly, lighting flashing brightly, and thunder cracking with a wailing howl. Dark shadows are snarling on the walls of his bedroom, hissing devilishly. Of course Sammy would be afraid of the dark, no matter how brave he tries to be.

He fears terrifying snarling creatures with ruby red eyes, razor sharp fangs and claws that lurk in the darkness, monsters ready to creep up behind him and snatch him away from his family, and carry him off to their homes where they’d throw him into a stew and cook him for dinner.

Peering out from under a blanket, scared of the brightly flashing lightning and ear-splitting thunder, the little boy squints through the darkness. Thunder cracks, shaking the entire house as the wind shrills loudly.

Shivering in fear, Sam yanks the blankets up over his head, whimpering as the terror tingles down his spine. The rustling wakes his big brother who automatically wraps his arms around him and pulls him close, hugging him tightly. “Sammy, what’s wrong, buddy?”

A booming crash of thunder shakes the room, and Sam’s arms dart around Dean’s waist to hug him fiercely. He hides his face in his brother's chest as he whispers, “Don’t like the storm, Dee. The monsters are going to get me.”

Dean hugs Sam tightly, rubbing soft circles into his back and rocking him soothingly. “Sammy, there are no monsters. I promise, kiddo.”

Sam looks up at his brother, his big brown puppy dog eyes wide with fear and uncertainly. “Are you sure?”

Dean smiles warmly. “Positive. You are safe, and as long as I’m around, nothing bad is going to get you.” He kisses his little brother’s forehead, and like magic, Sammy is all smiles and snuggly cuddles, fear forgotten.

Sam nestles into Dean's chest, nearly purring like a baby kitten when Dean threads his fingers through his hair. Soon, Sam is sound asleep and dreaming peacefully.

Dean grins fondly and brushes Sam’s shaggy bangs out of his eyes before he kisses his cheek and wishes him sweet dreams. Cuddled up in bed, his baby brother tucked into his side, Sammy nuzzled Dean’s chest and hugs his teddy bear as Dean’s arms tighten, keeping him snuggled in his warm embrace.

Come morning, the storms have passed, and as the early morning sun rose behind the motel, Sammy and Dean were watching cartoons and enjoy a plate of yummy double stuffed Oreo’s. Dad was away on business, so it was just the two of them.

Sammy was dressed in his race car pajamas while Dean was donning his Batman jammies. While Sammy savors the cookie--twisting off the top and licking the creamy fluffy filling out, and then putting the two halves back together and devouring the treat--Dean likes to stuff the whole cookie in his mouth before washing it down with a cold glass of milk.

John would have scolded the boys for eating such a surgery meal for breakfast, but it was Saturday, and nothing was better than cookies and milk with silly morning cartons.
Both boys are sitting on their bottoms in front of the television, doing happy in-seat wiggle dances as they make adorable nom-nom-nom sounds.

The carton was just ending when both boys reached for the last double stuffed Oreo cookie. Dean was willing to give the cookie to Sammy, but the tot had a better idea. With little hands twisting gently, Sammy parted the Oreo and gave Dean half and kept the other half for him.

Dean beamed brightly. “Thanks, Sammy!” He popped the cookie into his mouth and happily munched, savoring the yummy sweetness.

Sammy grinned, his dimples adorably creasing his chubby cheeks. “Your welcome, Dee. You deserve a cookie. You know why?”

“Why, Sammy?”

“Because you’re the best big brother in the whole world!”

Grinning, Dean’s reaches out to brushes his fingers through Sam's shaggy hair. Sam yawns drowsily, smiling happily as he lays his head on Dean's shoulder.

Travelers, Trevor/Philip, Philip knows the exact moment in time that Trevor is to kiss him, but it still surprises him

[Fill] Travelers - Trevor/Philip - Unexpected

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Philip knew when it would happen because, well, Philip knew everything. He had the world in his head. He knew that he was supposed to be surprised when Trevor kissed him and had even practiced the expression in the mirror.

After all, it wouldn't do to change even the smallest thing in the timeline.

He was ready, so ready. And yet when it happened, the moment that he had been anticipating for longer than he would ever admit, it still caught him off guard.

That, other than the actual kiss, had been the best part. Despite knowing, despite the anticipation and preparation there was still that jolt of energy from the shock of the unexpected which quickly melted into another kind of a jolt, one that came from a much more carnal place.

It was good, so good, amazing even in a way that made him think his brain was being rebooted. It made Philip wonder if maybe being surprised once in a while could be a good thing.
