brumeier, and I was so inspired by cornerofmadness’s 80s theme that we’re going to hit the next decade – the 90s! Today’s theme is 90s BOOKS, anything and everything related to books or other printed media in the 90s. This could be a fusion or crossover with a 90s book fandom, or your characters choosing a 90s title to read for their book club.
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 Multiverse, Evan Lorne +/ Any, Hearts in Atlantis (Stephen King, 1999)
+ K-pop or K-drama, any ensemble, Animorphs AU (K.A. Applegate, 1996)
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, any ensemble, A Game of Thrones AU (George RR Martin, 1996)
+ Sherlock, John Watson +/ Gregory Lastrade, Wicked (Gregory Maguire, 1995)
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 2016 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.

(Paul Davis)
Danny kept to the shadows, preferring not to be seen until he was ready. A passing rainstorm had left Launa’ana Avenue gleaming darkly, neon reflections rippling and wavering under his feet. Heavy bass beats were thumping out from the clubs, where people waited in lines for the chance to get in.
Club Sânge was the one Danny was watching. Outwardly it was indistinguishable from the other clubs along the avenue – same bass beat, same line of scantily clad women and leather-clad men trying to get in, same garish neon sign. The one thing that set that particular club apart was the thing most people would never even know.
Vampires.
They existed in the shadows, the same place Danny started calling home when he’d decided to start hunting them. Vampires were monsters and they all deserved to die, especially the one who’d killed his brother.
It turned out there was a whole other world that existed beside the one Danny had thought he knew so well. A night world inhabited by witches and vampires and shape-shifters. A secret world. He was part of it now, trained as a vampire hunter. Chosen, they said, because he’d been born with the ability to resist the mind control that all vampires used on humans.
Danny would get vengeance for Matty. All he needed to do was get into Club Sânge, slip into the back room, and get a look at the ledger of vampire names and aliases. Nothing to it.
The first step was getting past the bouncer. Danny couldn’t figure out the criteria he was using to choose who got to go in and who got turned away. Maybe it was a blood thing. The guy certainly seemed impervious to the men and women who were trying to turn things in their favor using seductive means.
Time to get noticed.
Danny stepped out into the street, walking confidently and purposefully toward the club. He had on his tightest pair of jeans and a snug button-down shirt with the first few buttons undone. He knew he looked good, and different enough from the young kids in their leather pants and mesh shirts to draw attention. He cut straight to the head of the line, ignoring the protests from the people who’d been waiting.
The bouncer held up his hand. “Where do you think you’re going?”
He was a vampire, Danny could tell. It was a feeling he got, more than any outward clues from the guy’s appearance. He was wearing black cargo pants and a black shirt so tight he looked like he might burst out of it any second. Tall, muscled but not swole, he was stupidly good-looking. (Danny always wondered if vampires just chose really sexy people to turn, or if average people got sexier as a result of being turned.)
“In there,” Danny said.
“You’re a little old for this club, don’t you think?”
“Yeah, grandpa,” a kid behind Danny said. “Go home.”
“One, I’m in no way old enough to be a grandpa. Two, I’m not going to throw myself at anyone just to get into a club and have an adult beverage.”
The bouncer’s lip twitched, like he might have wanted to smile.
“There are quieter places to get an adult beverage.”
“Maybe so,” Danny conceded. “But I hear you have some choice entertainment in there.”
That was open to interpretation. According to Danny’s research, Club Sânge had male and female dancers that wore just enough to cover their indecent bits, and also live sex show on random nights. He’d bet anything there were public blood lettings, too. Ones the ‘volunteers’ would be made to forget all about afterwards.
The bouncer gave him a once-over. “You don’t look the type.”
“I like to defy expectations.”
Re: Fill 2/2: Danny Williams/Steve McGarrett
Date: 2020-02-14 04:02 am (UTC)The entire universe ground to a halt, anything that could breathe holding its breath. Danny looked into the bouncer’s stormy gray-green eyes and saw eternity.
“Just my fucking luck,” he gasped.
They’d told him, the seers who worked with the vampire hunters. They’d seen it in his cards, in the lines of his palms. He was destined to find his soulmate, and he’d know the second they made contact.
No-one mentioned that his soulmate would be a fucking vampire. Or that Danny would know just from one touch that his name was Steve and he’d been turned into a vampire during the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Steve. What kind of name was that for a vampire?
Steve flashed just a little fang as he grinned. “Aren’t you kind of short to be a hunter?”
Clearly his plan for the evening had to be bagged, now that his cover was blown. Besides, he had other things to think about besides revenge. At least for one night.
“The universe has a fucked-up sense of humor,” he said.
The smart move would be to walk away, regroup, and come at the problem of getting that name from a different angle. But all he wanted was to touch Steve, be close to him, know him in a way he’d never wanted to know a single other person on the planet. It was terrifying and annoying in equal measure.
“You’re telling me,” Steve said agreeably.
Danny had a mission. A plan. A vendetta.
Danny also now had a vampire for a soulmate. And so he put revenge temporarily on the back burner and agreed to go someplace a bit more private with Steve to figure things out.
“This is wrong,” Danny said the first time they kissed.
“I hate you,” Danny said the first time they fucked.
“Don’t you dare die on me,” Danny said when Steve was inexpertly staked by a rookie hunter.
“I love you,” Danny said when Steve helped him finally avenge Matty’s death.

Date: 2020-02-13 10:30 am (UTC)Fill: Ros Myers
Date: 2020-02-13 04:26 pm (UTC)At the hotel he greeted her, and suggested they go to his room. She had agreed and listened as he outlined his plans. Suddenly, something alerted him and, realising he'd been double crossed, he made a lunge at her. Thirty seconds later he was lying face down on the floor, his arms pinioned firmly behind him.
Having brought down her prey, Ros would soon call in her backup to help drag it back to her lair. But before she did so, she intended impressing on the man that Ros Myers was not to be bought.
