Thursday: This and That

[4bdnsn0wflake.livejournal.com]

Howdy! We’ve made it to Thursday, and I remain 4bdnsn0wflake, and today’s theme is This and That.

Meaning, prompts should follow the format of word(s) and word(s), e.g. love and marriage, dumb and dumber, fire and ice, etc.

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...

+ MCU, Natasha Romanov, poison and antidote

+ Ouran High School Host Club, ensemble, curious-er and curious-er

+ The Strachey Mysteries, Donald Strachey/Timothy Callahan, danger and excitement

+ RPF, One Direction members as preschoolers, arts and crafts

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.

MCU, Natasha Romanov, poison and antidote

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

She stood behind Tony with two syringes in her pockets.

One had the antidote that would give the mad genius time to find another way to power the arc reactor.

The other one was a fast acting poison that would end his suffering from paladium poisoning.

Fury indicated with a slight nod that he wanted her to administer the antidote, which she did a little more forcefully than was necessary.

"Ouch! What the hell was that?!" Tony exclaimed glaring at Natasha while rubbing the injection site on his neck.

"Something to give you more time to find your new element," Fury informed him as Natasha pushed him over to sit down beside him.

Tony shook his head and went back to picking at the donut Fury had forced on him.

Fury considered this a small victory and went onto explain how things would go from that point onward.

The Strachey Mysteries, Donald Strachey/Timothy Callahan, danger and excitement

[Fill] Strachey Mysteries - Donald/Timmy - Work and Play

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Timmy, not being an adrenaline junkie had never really understood the thrill that came with the occasionally dangerous aspects of Donald's job. In fact, he found them more worrisome and frightening than anything. It was something he tried not to think about too much because, to be honest, it scared the hell out of him when he let himself dwell on the risks.

For Donald though, it was different. He didn't live for the risks, he had too much to make his life worth living for that, but there was something invigorating about being chased down the street by an angry, cheating, husband or going toe toe with a heavy that he knew was probably going to knock him on his ass.

One thing they did whole heartedly agree on was there was nothing better than an adrenaline fueled, high on life romp in the sheets followed by some grateful to be alive cuddling.

[Fill] One Direction - Play Time

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Simon smiled, a look of exhausted benevolence on his face as he hearded his class of four year olds away from their tables so the classroom volunteers could help lay down paper for arts and crafts time. Normally it would already be done, but they'd had too many nap time problems today to even think about doing anything, but sitting by children and keeping them from waking up others.

While the tables were being set up he gathered the children and put old adult shirts over top of the children's clothes to keep them from getting paint on them even though it was tempra and would completely wash out with a little water.

Clothes and tables protected he assigned them to tables, making sure to put Louis, Harry, Niall, Liam, and Zayn together so that he could keep an extra eye on them.

The project was simple, paint a picture of a dog or cat.

As soon as the instructions were given Zayn's hand was in the air. "Can I color?"

"Not right now. We're painting."

"My crayons have more colors." Zayn's bottom lip began to quiver. "I want to color!" The tears were not far behind.

Simon turned his attention to Niall, knowing that Zayn would cry for a minute then get to his assignment. He was currently obsessed with the huge package of crayons he'd gotten recently and would spend all day coloring given half a chance.

"Niall, it's not kind to laugh when your friends are sad." Simon was beginning to wonder if there might be something off about the boy. He laughed at everything. Every. Thing. It went beyond good nature to being almost unsettling.

"Sorry, Zayn." His tone sounded sincere enough even if it was accompanied by a giggle.

Moving on, Simon stopped to help Harry put his arm back through the sleeve of his over shirt. There were splotches of color all over the material, but Simon wasn't concerned. With Harry you had to be prepared for that. At least the boy was working hard and not biting the tops of the glue sticks off.

On Harry's other side Liam was carefully writing cat or dog at the top of his paper. Beaming he set the brush down and pointed to it. "Look what I wrote."

"Beautiful, Liam. Now you need to paint your picture."

"My picture is better. I have a cat with whiskers and a tail and stripes." Louis chimed in, pointing to what appeared to be a blob of paint and stuck out his chest, clearly proud of what he had made. "It's the best cat. Better than Zayn's and Harry's!"

Considering Zayn's was still blank and Harry had more paint on himself than the paper Simon had to agree though he gently reminded the boy that it was not nice to brag.

Glancing at the clock, Simon realized with a start that it was almost time to clean up and get ready to go home. Somehow they had made it through another day.

Venom, Venom & Eddie, tater tots and chocolate

Fill -- A Balanced Diet

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Life isn’t all tater tots and chocolate, Eddie observes. As much as Venom enjoys those things, Eddie has to put his foot down once in a while to have the things he enjoys. The symbiote doesn’t see the merit of consuming meat that’s already dead--liver and onions would be a lot better if the liver was fresh, he maintains--but Eddie makes a point of having a cheeseburger at least weekly. His passenger also despises vegetables, but Eddie has enough self-discipline to grab vegetarian stir-fry occasionally, and adds a multivitamin to his daily routine because he’s pretty sure Venom can’t cure scurvy. When asparagus is in season, he partakes often. (Wrap ‘em in bacon and broil ‘em--even Venom finds them tasty.) Eddie tries to vary the menu--after all, there are lots of things you can do with potatoes that aren’t nuggets---though Venom will eat the damn things raw, like an apple, for whatever reason, mashed potatoes disgust him. Fortunately, chocolate is abundantly easy to find and always acceptable. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, domestic, imported, expensive or cheap--it’s all good where Venom is concerned. Most of the time they stick to the usual brands Mrs. Chen keeps in stock--Venom has a special fondness for Three Musketeers bars--but when Eddie is in the mood for chocolate, he’ll treat them to Ghirardelli…just to change things up.

any, any, autumn and summer

Fill -- Mad Max: Fury Road: The Seasons of Max

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Childhood was springtime. Its days were not always soft, but all around was life, budding with possibilities. Max watches the War Pups play, their childhoods so different from his own…No bats or balls, no games, video or otherwise…they chatter about the cars they want to build and desert landmarks and their scores for target practice. He really was from a different world.

Growing to adulthood had been easing into summer, the heat of responsibility warming him, sometimes overpowering. He’d never shied away from it; instead, he’d chosen a profession that immersed him in a cauldron of responsibility. He could take the heat. That sweet season was cut short by the chaos of the world, one final fiery cataclysm that left in its wake the ashes of guilt for all those he hadn’t been able to protect.

Now, the fire and blood of this ruined world are orange and red, he earth itself is harsh red-orange, befitting autumn. Max feels the weight of time upon his shoulders. There are fewer and fewer people who remember the world as it was; most have only heard stories from their elders. They’ve never lived in houses or towns, never chased an ice cream truck down the street, watched television, received letters or bills by mail. They never will; he never will again. Max is one of the older survivors…realistic, he knows that even autumn won’t last. Sooner or later, the last leaf will fall.

He faces the finality of winter. He won’t give in to it--that’s never been his way--but he knows that sooner or later, it will claim him. It is inevitable.

any, any/any, Bath and bubbles

Inception, Arthur/Eames

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Arthur stepped into the oversized claw foot tub feeling a bit foolish for indulging in a bath when he would have been perfectly fine taking a shower.

Eames insisted and Arthur relented rather than get into a heated argument with his lover.

He got settled in the tub and leaned his head back against the rolled up towel that Eames had provided.

He swished the water around watching the bubbles pop or dance across the water's surface.

He was so preoccupied with his little game that he didn't hear Eames return.

"So I was right, wasn't I, darling?" Eames inquired trying not to sound totally insufferable about it.

"Just this once, Eames," Arthur conceded.

Eames softly chuckled. He would take his victories where he could get them.

MCU, any, heroes and villains

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Aquaman, Arthur Curry, land and sea

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

The first time he stepped on land he hadn't liked it because it shifted under his feet. It got stuck between his toes and made him uncomfortable. He quickly returned to the sea.

The second time he stepped on land he liked it a little better than his first time. He walked along the packed sand with ease and was able to see things he had missed the first time.

The third time he stepped on land was better than the second time. He was able to see and do more interacting with the people his father had always warned him about.

The fourth time he stepped on land was even better than the third time. This time he fell in love and the desire to return to the sea while still with him is overshadowed by this love.

Lucifer, Lucifer (and any others), Light and Dark

Fill: Lucifer, Lucifer + Chloe

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

(I hope this is in the spirit of the prompt.)

Lucifer settled back in his seat and quietly regarded Chloe as she drove them to yet another crime scene.

He considered her the light to his dark.

She was blonde whereas he had black hair.

She was a stickler for rules whereas he was willing to bend them to get a desired outcome.

She belived in following the clues to solve a case whereas he believed in hunches and off the wall ideas.

But the main thing that made them so different from one another was the fact that she believed in redemption. He believed in damnation having been damned for so many centuries.

*&*

"Are you alright?" she asked him as they left the car. "You were rather quiet on the ride over here?"

"I'm fine," he was quick to reassure her. "We have a puzzle to solve so can we get to it?"

She slipped under the crime scene tape as he held up for her with a brief nod. She would get to the bottom of his somber mood once they were finished working the crime scene.

She had discovered just recently it was hard for him to keep things from her, which meant he had developed feelings for her despite vowing not to.

She heard him sigh and then move to the opposite side of the crime scene from her.

It was going to be another interesting day, but when you had the Devil as your partner life was rarely dull.
