Mondays mean back to work!

Hello, everyone. I’m [livejournal.com profile] squidgiepdx and for the next ten workdays, I'll be your host here on CommentFic. And what better way to celebrate a Monday is there than to talk about work? That's today's theme! You can prompt anything having to do with work - from someone taking their dream job, to someone daydreaming away while the mundanity of their job surrounds them. Or maybe their normal, quiet workday is interrupted by a camera crew a la 60 Minutes. Whatever it is, if it's about work, today's the day to prompt!

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/Rodney McKay + others, "So this is what you do for work?"
+ Merlin, Merlin/Arthur Pendragon, Modern office AU
+ Check, Please!, Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmerman, Kidfic/Futurefic where Eric takes the kid(s) to daddy's work

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.

Fill: Drabble, Ros Myers

Ros Myers stretched her legs and looked admiringly at the red shoes she had deliberately chosen. She smiled at the man who had just offered to buy her a drink. “My job?” she said, “There’s not much to tell. Now you, on the other hand, look like you lead a very exciting life. I’d love to hear all about it.”

Flattered by the obvious attention of a beautiful women, the man, ignoring every single protocol which had been drummed into him, was eloquent about his job.

Adam and Lucas, listening in on the wire, were overjoyed with what they heard.

Ros is the queen. Thank you so much for this! Of course she has Lucas and Adam backing her up.

Ros is certainly in charge - and has organised her backup deliberately.

I'm glad you liked it.
