Tuesday - Solo

[atomic89.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm (still) atomic89 and I'm back again with the second theme of the week: Solo. Basically you can only have one character in your prompt - so no couples/threesomes/moresomes!

Please remember not to leave more than five prompts in a row and no more than three per fandom per prompter. You are, of course allowed to come back later and add more once yours have been answered.

Spoilers are not allowed in your prompts until a week (7 days) has passed from the original air date. If the fic contains spoilers please mark it clearly and leave at least three spaces before the prompt/fic.

Don't forget to format your prompts correctly, for example:

T:TSCC, Derek, faith
Dollhouse, Topher, “Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.”
BtVS/Heroes, Dawn, Activating Evolution

If you can't find the perfect prompt for you here, don't forget to check out the Lonely Prompts! There are loads of wonderful prompts just begging to be written!

Mozzie has learned not to need a lot of things in life.

Sure, there's a short list: black coffee. Books. A roast beef sandwich on rye every once in a while. The Sunday Times, which has a truly ludicrous pro-Establishment slant, but is a bad habit picked up a long time ago that he can't seem to shake, plus he likes to do the crossword. An empty park bench to read it on. Freedom to do what he feels like, when he feels like it.

That's not so much to ask. That's reasonable.

Neal, on the other hand. The poor kid. It's not just that he's, well, probably unhealthily attached to his creature comforts. It's a little pathetic, but it's his thing, and he can manage it. He's good at getting a hold of the things he wants, when they're, well, things.

What's really dangerous is, he needs people's approval all the time. He needs people to like him, or really, it's obvious enough, love him. Not that Moz can't sympathize -- it's a nice enough thing to have some company, someone to want you around -- but it isn't an essential and it never should be. You can't go around needing people, not in this line of work. Moz didn't. Kate didn't, and that was a delicate enough thing to avoid pointing out all the time even without the kid's newest sources of inevitable future heartbreak.

Oh, sure, it was cute while it lasted. Like watching a middle-school kid with a crush. But who was going to have to be there when everything fell apart? Who was going to have to bite his tongue not to say I told you so? Sometimes it's just not worth it to be right. Better to just hope that maybe this time, finally, the lesson would actually sink in. Which, okay, was kind of a depressing thought. But depressing, you can work with. If I start holding out hope, I'll be just as bad off as he is.

Someone wrote me Mozziefic!!!

*big smile*

I really love the way Mozzie loves simplicity and can deal with solitude (and loves books and crosswords!). I love all the characters but if they were people IRL I think I would hang out with Mozzie most.

And I like how there's some angst, with his concern for Neal, and his total fear of hoping or of going after love like Neal does. *smishes him for being him and you for writing this*

PS Re this line: "the kid's newest sources of inevitable future heartbreak"

So I'm assuming the plural refers to the OT3. And I heartily approve! :)
