comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
squidgiepdx and today's theme is food. Prompts can be anything that has to do with food, be it your character's favorite meal, or something that whets their appetite. Maybe Daryl from Letterkenny doesn't know quite how to court Wayne, and goes with the old adage, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" - with comedic effect. Maybe it's John smuggling chocolate into Atlantis for Rodney. Or maybe it's time for Merlin to take a job at a coffeehouse where he meets Arthur, son of Uther who owns Uther's Brews (though Merlin doesn't know that when he calls Arthur a prat). Whatever the case, if it's got to do with food, this is the place!
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...
+ Letterkenny, Wayne/Daryl, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"
+ Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Rodney realizes that John sneaking him chocolate is John's awkward way of flirting
+ Merlin, Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (+Gwaine), Merlin gets a job at a coffeeshop and meets Arthur - it doesn't go well.
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.

“Delicious, aren’t they?” the man added.
Lucas tried not to grimace, and pretending he was unable to reply due to a large mouthful.
Eventually the meeting was over, and Lucas made a diplomatic departure. Once on the street he called Malcolm and said, “I shall be in shortly, but I have to come back via a cake shop.”

“That cuts out the rides then, I’m not going on anything where there’s the remotest chance you’ll throw up on me.”
Somewhat amused, Adam trailed after Lucas as, having satisfied his hunger, he made his way round the sideshows. Adam also discovered the sugar high affected Lucas’ judgement, but not his aim, as he left the fair carrying a small plush monkey, a goldfish, and the large green frog. Lucas left carrying a box of popcorn.

“Elyan is perfectly handsome and also a musician. We don’t need a fourth man,” Merlin said.
“There’s more than enough room in the budget for it.”
“Gaius will kill us if there are six employees here when he gets back.”
Gwaine clapped him on the shoulder. “Better go make it five.” And he shoved Merlin in the direction of the table where the most beautiful man Merlin had ever seen was enjoying a mug of black coffee.
Merlin scowled over his shoulder and resisted flicking Gwaine with his magic. Then he squared his shoulders and headed toward the beautiful man who was probably far too wealthy to even consider working in a coffee shop.
Merlin tripped over the man’s shoe. Only his magic saved him from faceplanting on the hardwood floor - by propelling him right into the blond man’s lap.
The man yelped. The other man was on his feet in an instant, yanking Merlin upright.
“You idiot!” the blond man snapped. Coffee dripped down his expensive white shirt.
“I’m so sorry,” Merlin said.
He could hear Gwaine laughing behind him.
“I’ll get you another coffee on the house. And I’ll cover the dry-cleaning expenses -”
“You damn well will.” The blond man looked down at his shirt in disgust, then up at Merlin. “Do you know who I am?”
He said it like he was someone important. He was probably an actor or something.
Merlin, feeling a bit wronged, since he wasn’t the one who’d had his foot sticking out unnecessarily, said, “No.”
For one moment, rage flared in the man’s eyes, but then he looked startled and surprised. And pleased. “Really?”
“Yes,” Merlin said.
Gwaine cleared his throat pointedly.
“Actually, I was coming over to see...if you’d be interested in working here? Gwaine only likes to hire handsome men.”
The man raised his eyebrows. “Then how did you get a job here?”
“I’m an apprentice barista to my uncle, who studied in Italy - hey! I’m not ugly.”
The man smirked. “I never said you were. Why should I work here?”
Merlin straightened up. “You don’t have to. Gwaine just wanted me to ask.”
The man peered past Merlin at Gwaine, who’d once worked as an underwear model because he was bored. “I might have to work here, if only to save other customers from your ineptitude.”
“Your foot was sticking out unnecessarily,” Merlin protested.
“Most people watch where they’re going,” the man countered easily.
Before Merlin could protest further, the man said, “When do I start?”
“What name should I write on your name tag?” Gwaine asked.
The man’s smile was irritatingly handsome. “Arthur.”
