Tuesday: 100 Words on... Things that Go Boom

[sherlockian-syn.livejournal.com]

Hello again! I’m sherlockian_syn and today's summertime theme is... things that go boom! Where I live, there is a state holiday this week and people are allowed to shoot off aerial fireworks. But this is not limited to just fireworks! Prompts can be anything related to explosions, more or less. Fills should be at least 100 words or any multiple of 100. Go crazy! But also, stay safe out there!

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...
+ Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard +/ any, Atlantis fireworks show
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark/Stephen Strange, You just gotta ignite the light / And let it shine / Just own the night / Like the Fourth of July (Katy Perry)
+ Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Your Hand in Mine (Explosions in the Sky)

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.

Stargate SG-1, Sam Carter, a girl and her explosives

Fill

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

“Airman Heywood has a crush on you,” Daniel said.

Sam paused. “The quartermaster’s assistant?”

“Yeah.”

“You think?”

He looked like he was fresh out of high school. He’d never flirted.

Daniel nodded. “You always get the good stuff - the tastiest power bars and the most C4.”

Sam glanced at O’Neill, who was scowling at the tiny amount of C4 in his tac vest.

Heywood was enlisted. Sam was an officer. Nothing could happen. But she smiled at him the next time she was prepping to go offworld, thanked him for the extra C4.

A girl really did like her explosives.

Any, any, "I don't have to blow up everything I see... I just like to." (Star Wars: X-Wing: Wraith Squadron, by Aaron Allston)

MCU Tony Stark+Steve Rogers

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

"Seriously, Stark!" Steve growled unable to help himself. His frustration with Tony destroying everything alien tech related was rearing its ugly head.

"What?" Tony exclaimed in annoyance. He was getting tried of Steve's holier-than-thou attitude during and after major battles.

"Why must you destroy everything that could be remotely usable in defending the Earth?" Steve passionately inquired.

"Because humanity has been on that route before," Tony softly replied. "It's why there are massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons that are capable of completely destroying the planet and all life on it."

Steve sighed. He had heard this argument from Tony countless times. While it horrorified him, he knew deep down that the best defense would always be a good offense.

"I know what you are thinking, Steve," Tony said with a tired sigh. "But I can't in good conscience be that type of person anymore."

Steve shook his head and started to walk away before they got into a no holds brawl again. It wasn't good for team dynamics for the leaders to be seen beating the hell out of each other.

"Besides," Tony hollered at Steve. "I don't have to blow up everything I see. I just like to."

Any, any, walking away from the explosion in slow motion. Kinda dangerous, if you ask me.

Any, any, "Boom-Boom? What's that, your porn-star name?"

Fill: Trixie Belden Mysteries/The Three Investigators, Trixie Belden/Jupiter Jones (200)

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

“Found this in the wash,” Jupe said, holding up the black t-shirt that said Boom-Boom across the back in large, glittery silver letters.

Trixie bit back a curse. She’d forgotten Thursdays were his days for laundry.

“It’s for a case,” Trixie said.

“Are you undercover as a porn star?” Jupe’s face reddened a little, and Trixie wasn’t sure if it was the thought of her being in that kind of movie or saying the word ‘porn’ out loud. Maybe both. Her boyfriend could be incredibly old-fashioned sometimes.

“No! For goodness sake, Jupiter!” Trixie snatched the shirt out of his hand and tossed it on the back of the couch. “Remember I told you I was skating?”

“Roller skating.”

“Well…it’s more like roller derby.”

Jupe just started at her for a long moment. “You’re undercover at a roller derby.”

“Boom-Boom Belden is my skating name.”

“So the bruises aren’t from falling off your bike.”

Trixie shook her head.

“Why didn’t you just tell me?”

“I didn’t want you to worry,” Trixie said, pulling Jupe in for a hug. “But now that you know, do you want to come to the next practice?”

“You bet I do. Boom-Boom.”

Jupe kissed her, grinning.

Any, any, "Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?" (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)

Fill: Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, Western AU (300)

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

“Think you used enough dynamite there, Steve?” Danny asked. “I mean, I didn’t realize you were looking to vaporize the whole mountain is all.”

“I know what I’m doing,” Steve replied tersely.

“You know what this reminds me of?” Danny asked, ducking down behind the relative safety of the stone wall. “This reminds me of those two yahoos who blew up an entire train car and the money they were trying to steal.”

“We’re not stealing anything,” Steve pointed out. He ducked behind the wall as well, attaching the fuse to the plunger.

“I didn’t say we were stealing anything.”

“If we seal this mine, the Hesse Gang will be forced to relocate. That’ll be the perfect time to infiltrate and shut them down.”

“Not disagreeing,” Danny said amiably. He took his hat off and fanned himself with it. “Though we haven’t finished discussing why it’s a phenomenally bad idea for you to try and join the gang when everyone knows who you are.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“I was merely pointing out that you seemed to use an over-abundance of explosive, which makes me justifiably nervous that this entire mountain is going to come down on our heads and I’d prefer to avoid that if possible.”

Steve finished with the fuse and turned to fully look at Danny, his hat tipped back on his forehead. “You done?”

“Guess so.”

“Good. Hunker down and hold on.”

“Hunker?”

“Danny!”

They hunkered, and Steve pushed the plunger down, and everything was rock dust and noise and shaking. Once everything settled, and Danny mostly stopped coughing, he peeked over the wall.

“Only half the mountain. My apologies.”

Steve looked overly pleased with himself, teeth gleaming through the layer of dust on his face. “Let’s go get a drink, Danno.”

“Right behind you, pardner.”

Venom, venom & eddie, venom is afraid of fireworks

Fill -- Fireworks

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Eddie’s always enjoyed watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. He doesn’t monkey around with them personally--he’s attached to his hands and prefers to keep it that way. Still, there are always people shooting them off around the neighborhood in addition to the big production the city puts on-- but that’s different this year.

The first few pops start late in the afternoon. Watching a ballgame on the couch, Eddie hardly notices. As twilight descends, the heavy artillery comes out: cherry bombs, M-80s, rockets and something that screams and whistles. Eddie’s body jerks upright.

Make it stop! Venom gasps.

“It’s only fireworks--” He tries to reassure the symbiote, who’s is in a state of high anxiety--Eddie thinks he’s literally going to jump out of his skin.

Music, Eddie thinks. Drown it out with music. The trouble is, anything loud enough to mask the sound of the whistling shriekers is probably going to be loud enough to bother Venom too. Ear buds?

They spend the rest of the evening listening to soothing music while soaking in a warm bath garnished with essence of lavender, eating their way through a family-sized bag of chocolate chip cookies. It isn’t Eddie’s first choice for how to celebrate the holiday, but partnership means compromise…and four hours of Neil Diamond’s Greatest Hits on repeat.

(This is only passingly related to your prompt. LOL!)

“You’re making a mistake,” Steve said conversationally to the kid sitting next to him at the bar. He ran his finger around the rim of his empty glass.

“What do you know about it?” the kid asked, surly. He had a patchy beard and a week’s worth of dust and grime clinging to his skin.

Steve eyed the rig the kid had strapped to his waist, which obviously hadn’t been well maintained.

“How old are you?”

“Fifteen.”

Steve wondered what his story was. Had the kid left home, looking for adventure? Or had he run from a bad situation? It didn’t really matter in the end.

“You go out there and you’re going to die, kid,” Steve said. “The only one who can out-gun Danny Williams is me.”

“Maybe I’ll take you on after,” the kid sneered.

Steve wanted to wring his stupid, scrawny neck. It was always the young bucks that came looking for Danny, tracking down the legendary Jersey Kid who was pretty far removed from being a kid himself these days. Danny’d had to be that good out of necessity, not because he had something to prove. And he hated when young upstarts challenged him, but he never backed down either. Not after that kid in Galveston tried to shoot him in the back when he’d said no.

“Here’s what going to happen,” Steve said. “Danny will get you long before you even pull your piece, and you’ll die in the dirt choking on your own blood. On the off chance you really are that quick on the draw, you’ll still die in the dirt because no-one shoots at my best friend. And you’re sure as hell not quicker than me.”

To prove his point, Steve snapped his arm out and snatched the kid’s revolver right out of his rig. Before the kid could even make a move, Steve emptied all the bullets from the cylinder and had it all laid out on the bar pretty as you please.

“Trust me, kid. You don’t want to die today. I’m giving you a chance. Don’t blow it.”

The kid stared at him with wide eyes. “Who are you?”

“Steve McGarrett.” Steve pulled the edge of his duster back to show off his star. “But you can call me Sheriff.”

The kid grabbed his gun, bullets scattering, and high-tailed it out of the saloon. Steve never saw him again.

MI5|Spooks, Any, overly explosive Christmas crackers

Fill: Section D

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

The members of Section D were sitting round the restaurant table the week before Christmas.

“Crackers, everyone,” Ros commanded.

They all duly grasped their crackers, and Ros said, “One, two, three, pull!”

The subsequent bang drew the attention of the other diners in the restaurant.

Instantly Section D all looked towards Lucas, expecting him to be out of his chair and halfway across the restaurant.

Instead, he raised an eyebrow and said, “What?”

Jo held up a rather singed paper hat. “That’s what,” she said.

A plaintive voice from two tables away said, “Waiter, there’s a moustache in my soup.”

Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, I feel like my head's going to explode!

Fill x3

[sherlockian-syn.livejournal.com]

"This is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like my head's going to explode!" Rodney stood up from where he was seated on his bed and started pacing around his quarters.

John remained silent, but his hands fidgeted in his lap. "Look, I know you're upset -"

"Upset? No, Sheppard, I'm not upset. I'm disappointed."

"What's that supposed to mean?" John asked, his brow furrowed.

Rodney stopped dead in his tracks and turned to look at John, pinning him with a look of pure vulnerability.

"It means that the United States Air Force is three million light-years away, and what they have to say about who you love shouldn't matter."

"Love?" John raised an eyebrow, but it was obvious he was trying not to smile.

"Okay," Rodney shrugged, "Mildly tolerate. Whatever."

John stood up and walked toward Rodney, until he was dangerously close.

"It's not that simple, McKay."

Rodney’s mouth twitched upward in a sincere, albeit lopsided smile.

"But it is."

He closed the distance between them, felt John’s body tense up as their lips met. John didn’t move a muscle, so Rodney did the polite thing and reluctantly broke off the awkward kiss.

But then John’s hands were on his shoulders, pulling Rodney back in and kissing him hard, teeth and tongues colliding. They parted after a few moments, both of them gasping for air.

“How could I ever say no to this?” John whispered, his voice barely audible.

Rodney’s heart felt like it was about to explode now, instead of his head.

“Have I changed your mind, then?”

John grinned. “Maybe. Might need a little more convincing though.”

He tugged Rodney back over toward the bed, Rodney practically falling into his lap and straddling John in the process.

“Happy to help,” Rodney said, leaning in for another kiss, heart definitely exploding.
