Thursday: Random Word Count

[marlex.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. It’s marlex for my penultimate day, and today the theme is Random Wordcounts. I like adding a bit of randomness when writing stories, and I’ve used a random number generator in several different ways over the years. Random.org is a nifty little site, and if you go there, right up top on the right side is a random number generator.

For today, prompts can be anything, but each prompt should come with a set wordcount (or multiples) which the story must match between 1 and 100.

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, Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers, secret relationship (91 words)
+ The Walking Dead, Beth Green/Daryl Dixon, wedding (23 words)
+ Lost, Claire Littleton/Charlie Pace, music (10 words)

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.

Any, any/any, sex (69 words)

Fill: Original fic Jimmy Bogart/Desmond Richard

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

(Hope this is in the the spirit of the prompt.)

Sex for Jimmy was like riding a bike.

If he fell off, he got back on and started pedaling until they he off again.

Sex for Desmond was life affirming; something that was precious and needed to be cherished.

When these two came together for the first time, the sex was mind blowing and brought to them both an earth shattering epiphany.

Jimmy stopped his endless roaming and one night stands and settled down.

Desmond stopped his constant searching for his soulmate because he finally found him in Jimmy.

When they finally were able to admit to and voice their feelings for each other, sex had been on the menu almost every night they were together.

Sex went from being a slam, bam, thank you ma'am affair to being slow and passionate with the desire to please one another.

[schweinsty.livejournal.com]

"You want to see if--if you can bend magma?" Zuko asked, sounding...concerned.

Toph nodded.

"Making it melt," Iroh said from behind the counter, "Might take a while."

Toph grinned, teeth sharp, feet kicking. "I can wait."

John Wick, John Wick (+ any or / Helen Wick), a moment of peace (62 words)

Fill - Bookbinding

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

John cranked the screw of the book press. He studied the press. Listened to the soft creak of the leather underneath the pressure.

"John." Helen's steps echoed around the basement as she descended the stairs. "What are you doing?"

"Rebinding a book." He loosened the screw one quarter-turn.

"You and your books." Helen leaned on his shoulder.

John leaned back, counterpoint, and smiled.

Star Trek AOS, Jim Kirk/Leonard McCoy, Long Day (62)

[kribban.livejournal.com]

Regulation calls for an officer to be relieved after twenty hours on duty. Leonard all but drags Jim off to bed and gives him something to help him sleep. He goes back to the lab to run another simulation on the pathogen sample. Sure he's an officer, but most of all he's a doctor, and a cure isn't going to find itself.

Harry Potter, Cedric Diggory + or / Harry Potter or Oliver Wood, a wistful glance to the sky (87 words)

[templefugate.livejournal.com]

Any, any, finding pleasure in pain (40 words)

Fill -- DC, Bane

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

The gas he breathes outwits the chronic pain he lives with. Sometimes, Bane removes the mask, allowing himself to experience the searing agony in bone and sinew. Again and again, he proves to himself that he is stronger than it is, and therefore stronger than the ones who caused it.

Lucifer, Lucifer + any, his favorite non-sexual way to relax (66 words)

Fill

[roswellnm42.livejournal.com]

The non-sexual way Lucifer knows how to relax; is by his piano above lux, whilst everyone gets drunk beneath his penthouse apartment. No one to perform for, a glass of brandy as he sings a particular song that applies to the day he’s had. A song that helps him come to terms with himself, a self awareness that he will later on go through with Linda.
