Wednesday: Three Sentences
Aug. 18th, 2020 09:08 pmHappy Wednesday!
4bdnsn0wflake here again, bringing you a new theme.
That theme is Three Sentences. Prompts can be whatever your heart desires, but fills should be three sentences in length, or multiples thereof.
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...
+ Stranger Things, Eleven, daydreams
+ Lucifer (TV), Mazikeen, thrill of the chase
+ MCU, Tony Stark+/Bruce Banner, friendly competition
+ Author’s choice, any character(s), rainy day
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.

“You caught me,” Eve grinned and pulled Maze into the closet with her for a hungry kiss.

Date: 2020-08-19 02:10 am (UTC)Tony Stark + Bruce Banner (+Steve Rogers)
Date: 2020-08-24 07:29 pm (UTC)Steve is mostly focused, at this point, on minimizing the fallout. And making sure none of their roommates kill them. Which is becoming progressively harder.
They're competing to design the world's most powerful cup of coffee, as best he understands it. Pitting Dr. Banner's actual knowledge of organic chemistry and the human body against... Tony's obsession with not sleeping. And not sleeping he is.
They'd set up an entire, rigorous testing process for the beverages. They have to each try each one, for consistency's sake. Their original experiment design had called for a hundred testers, or at least the whole team, but Steve had nixed that idea quickly.
He'd also limited them to one trial a week. Which would be more effective if Tony hadn't stayed up five days in a row on each of their recipes last round. Bruce had only made it three, but that had been harrowing enough for everybody.
At eight pm, he collects each genius from their lab, where they are mad sciencing away. He sits them down in the living room, puts them on the couch with blankets, and makes them cocoa. Tony had insisted after he did it once that it had to be regular, for experimental consistency, so they do this every night now.
Steve passes out the cocoa and joins his favorite mad scientists on the couch. They each snuggle in, punchy with exhaustion even the day before a new test. Steve is starting to worry.
"You know, you could just declare it a tie," he offers. Before someone's heart explodes, he doesn't add. That's a little too on the nose to be funny.
"It can always be better," Tony insists. Steve is pretty sure Tony doesn't actually know things can be finished. He's lost count of how many Iron Man armors there are at this point.
"But if you're always improving this, you won't be able to work on anything new. How about a new contest?" Steve offers hopefully. Ideally, something that involves sleep.
"That's true," Bruce muses. "I haven't touched my gamma work in weeks." Bruce is the more reasonable of the pair, so Steve latches on to that.
"See! You've made something far better than anything previously available. Now it's time to move on to other things," he says hopefully.
"If you're ready to move on, go ahead, Cap. This contest isn't over!" Tony insists. His fighting words do not line up with the sleepy way he's snuggling his cocoa.
"I'm pretty sure I'm refereeing whatever comes next, too. I'd just like you to go back to sleeping every night," Steve admits. He doesn't want the scientists to think he resents being their competition judge- it's usually the highlight of his day.
"Pfft. Like I ever slept every night." The way Tony says it, Steve's pretty sure it's true.
"Oooh. Sleep solutions. Can we solve it with hardware- your forte, or software- mine?" Bruce muses.
"What qualifies as sleep software?" Steve asks, intrigued. And really hoping this will catch Tony's competitive nature if not his interest. Maybe it will even actually help.
"The brain is the computer in this instance. Sleep solutions affecting brain chemistry or thought patterns would be 'software' in this instance," Bruce explains, already reaching for a tablet.
"Whereas he thinks I'm going to design a better bed. Pfft, I've moved past beds! I'm going to design a SLEEP POD," Tony announces.
"Sounds really swell, guys. What do you say we start trials in a week? I'll even help test these solutions! A week of three people testing should give you good data, right?" Steve asks, pleased.
Both scientists agree, and they begin planning their respective sleep solutions. Steve wonders if he should tell them now he intends to compete, too. He's not sure any technology can beat cocoa and cuddling.

Date: 2020-08-20 04:26 pm (UTC)When their eyes met Dan immediately said “Oh shit.”
“Don’t mind me,” Lucifer laughed. “You carry on with your downward facing douche. The detective and I will find the killer.”
Dan's cheeks flushed and he let out an exasperated sigh.

Harry was up early the next morning to check on the twins again.
He ran into Zayn coming out of the girls’ room.
“You did great, Babe,” Zayn smiled. “Let me have a turn.”
