comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
templefugate and today's theme is seventies books. Prompts can be anything about or based on seventies books.
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 above mentioned spoiler cut.
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...
+ Black Christmas (1974), Jess Bradford, Are You in the House Alone? (Richard Peck)
+ DC, Jonathan Crane, Summer of Fear (Lois Duncan)
+ The Shining, Jack Torrance, final moments
We are now using 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 2020 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out the just created Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet. For more recent prompts to write, you can also use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.
While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Date: 2020-06-03 04:40 pm (UTC)Fill: Trixie Belden Mysteries/The Three Investigators, Trixie Belden/Jupiter Jones
Date: 2020-06-04 01:55 am (UTC)Unfortunately for Uncle Titus, Jupiter was only there to help Trixie with her few belongings. The rest of the attic contents belonged to Ms. Hensridge, who’d been renting out the apartment Trixie was living in.
“It’s just these couple of things over here,” Trixie said.
Her boxes were by the attic window, just two medium-sized containers with her name written on them. Trixie’s apartment was small, and she didn’t have room for everything she’d brought from New York.
“I probably don’t need anything in here,” Trixie said, squatting down next to the boxes. The light from the window turned her blonde curls gold, and Jupiter had to take a minute before he joined her.
“Oh, golly! I forgot about this!” Trixie giggled, showing Jupiter a framed picture of three teenaged boys in drag. “We had a competition this one time, to see who could raise the most money for the Bookmobile. The boys lost, so we got to dress them for the day.”
Jupiter studied the picture. He recognized Trixie’s brother Mart from other pictures she had, but not the other two boys. One was a redhead with a face full of freckles, the other was dark-haired and brooding. All three were ridiculously made up and dressed like they were going to prom.
“Keeper?” Jupiter asked.
“Yeah.”
Added to the picture in the keep pile was a little stuffed rabbit, an apron covered in apples (“You know what a terrible cook I am, but Moms made it for me.”), and a book of Scottish poetry Trixie had been given by her Uncle Andrew.
The discard pile was a notebook filled with what Trixie described as terrible pre-adolescent creative writing, a random selection of receipts and outdated paperwork, and a broken porcelain sheep.
“Now this looks interesting,” Jupiter said, pulling out a pink book with ‘diary’ stamped on the front in faded gold letters.
“Oh, no you don’t!” Trixie laughed and tugged the diary out of his hand. “This can go in the burn pile for sure.”
She opened it anyway, flipping through the pages. Several dried flowers fell out, and Jupiter picked some of them up.
“Fond memories?” he asked.
Jupiter expected another enthusiastic story of Trixie’s childhood. Maybe flower picking with her mother at the farm, or something like that. But Trixie ran a fingertip over one of the fragile petals in Jupiter’s hand, looking sad.
“Orchids. Jim always gave me orchids.”
Jim. High school boyfriend, presumably, and the thought of Trixie interested in another man, however long ago it may have been, made him flush with a kind of unfocused jealousy.
“He was my high school sweetheart,” Trixie said. “I thought the sun rose and set on him.”
“What happened?”
“Jim didn’t like the mystery solving. Too dangerous, he said. He didn’t like that I was throwing myself in harm’s way all the time.” Trixie huffed out a laugh. “Like I still do. He didn’t get it, not like you do.”
The look she gave Jupiter made him flush for a different reason. He’d never had anyone look at him like that.
“You know that little voice you hear in your head sometimes? That whisper of self-doubt? Mine sounds a lot like Jim Frayne.” Trixie gathered up all the fallen, dried petals and tipped them back in the diary. “Those aren’t memories I need hanging around.”
Jupiter dutifully put the diary on the throw away pile, then he leaned over and kissed Trixie on the tip of her nose. Trixie grinned and kissed him back, on the mouth.
“Let’s finish this up and go back to your place,” she said.
“Our place,” Jupiter reminded her.
The reason for sorting out the boxes was that Trixie was finally moving in with Jupiter.
“Our place,” she repeated. “I like the sound of that.”

Thanks so much for the fill!

Date: 2020-06-03 07:08 pm (UTC)Just then, Lucas stirred and murmured drowsily, “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to have a shower, get dressed and grab some breakfast, and then get on with the latest report.”
Lucas pushed the duvet down and opened his arms. “Do you have to? It is Saturday morning.”
“I had been thinking of finished the report and getting it off by lunchtime.”
Lucas smiled and raised his eyebrows.
Adam grinned back. “But then again, maybe I won’t.”
