Friday: Masterpiece Theater
Hi! I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brumeier, and this week we’ve been filling TV-related themes. Thank you to everyone who participated with prompts and fills this week, we had an amazing turnout! Our final theme of the week is Masterpiece Theater. This is the land of the historical drama, so your prompts should be historical in nature. Anything from the Big Bang up through the 1990s (or maybe early 2000s?) would qualify.
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...
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Steve Rogers (+/ any), time traveling to find Bucky
+ Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, detectives in the 1950s
+ Supernatural, Sam Winchester + Dean Winchester, popular monster hunting team in 1940s creature features (please no Wincest)
+ Stargate Atlantis/Any, Evan Lorne +/ Any, meeting on the commune in the 1960s
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.

Fill 1/2: Tony Stark/Stephen Strange with bonus Rhodey (Gay Paree 'verse)
It wasn’t easy to do considering the festive air in Midnight in Paris. The band was playing a lively jazz tune, the illegal booze was flowing freely, and if Tony had shown the slightest bit of interest he’d have had his pick of any of the women present, regardless of whether or not they were already spoken for.
“You gotta be a wet blanket tonight?” Rhodey asked. “These people didn’t come to see morose Tony Stark.”
“I’m buying drinks, aren’t I?” Tony countered without any real heat. “Shut up.”
“Stark, you’re an actor. Can’t you at least fake being happy for a while?”
“No.”
The break-up with Steve hadn’t been unexpected, but Tony was taking it harder than he thought he would. Maybe because Steve hadn’t been with him on account of his Tinseltown fame. It had been both deeper and more shallow than that. Complicated. That’s what it was. Complicated as hell.
Maybe he should’ve taken Steve to Venice instead of Oslo.
If Tony was going to be alone, he’d rather it be in a room full of people. Even if that room was in Rhodey’s stupidly named blind pig, which was full of flappers and jazz musicians and men who’d stripped down to their shirtsleeves to cut it up on the dance floor.
Tony tipped back his glass, finishing his drink. “Another,” he said.
“You looking to empty a whole bottle tonight?” Rhodey asked, even as he pulled out the champagne.
“I’m the one who supplies it,” Tony reminded him. “May as well enjoy it, too.”
Rhodey rolled his eyes. He poured the champagne, poured the orange juice, and garnished with an orange rind before setting it in front of Tony.
“What are you drinking?” asked the man who slid onto the stool next to Tony’s.
“I call it a Paris Sunrise,” Rhodey said.
“You’ve never even been to Paris,” Tony said, just to be contradictory.
“I’ll take one of those.”
The man slapped some money on the bar, and Tony couldn’t help noticing the tremble in his hands. He was also wearing a high-end suit, blue with a bold herringbone pattern, and the money clip he’d pulled out of his pocket was gold with a sizeable emerald affixed to it.
“Little ostentatious for a blind pig, aren’t you?” Tony asked. “You a stoolie?”
“A surgeon, actually.”
“I played a surgeon once,” Tony remembered. “You ever see Dr. Watson’s Secret? I got a lot of good press from that one.”
“I don’t care for motion pictures,” the surgeon replied. He took a sip of his drink and made a face. “This is disgusting!”
Tony grinned. “More for me!”
He picked up the man’s champagne flute and downed the fizzy drink all in one go and followed it up with a modest belch.
“Real classy,” Rhodey said with a frown.
“I’ll take a Brandy Alexander, please.”
Tony studied his new drinking companion with renewed interest. He didn’t like movies, which meant he probably didn’t know how famous Tony was. And Tony’s wealth wouldn’t matter much to a man sporting decorative gemstones on something that spent most of the time unseen in his pocket. It was almost enough to make Tony regret the belch. Almost.
He wanted to ask about the shaky hands, and how a surgeon could be expected to slice people open with such a tremor, but he wasn’t quite drunk enough to cross that kind of line. Tony could see some scars, thought maybe –
“Car accident,” the man said. He took a sip of his Brandy Alexander and nodded appreciatively.
“What’s that?”
Fill 2/2: Tony Stark/Stephen Strange with bonus Rhodey (Gay Paree 'verse)
That recitation had come devoid of any emotion as far as Tony could tell. How often did people ask the shaky doctor about his injury?
“I broke my pinky finger once,” Tony said, holding up the slightly bent appendage. “Stunt gone wrong. Hurt like a bastard.”
“Yes, I’m sure that was just the same as what I went through.”
The man’s lip twitched up in the briefest approximation of humor that Tony had ever seen. That was promising.
“Do you have a name, ex-surgeon, or should I think one up? I’ve come up with some real zingers for my movies, you know.”
“Stephen.”
“Very respectable. I would’ve gone with something edgier. Julian, maybe. Or Vincent.”
“Sorry to disappoint.”
“I’m Tony, by the way. Not that you asked, but it’s easier than thinking of me as ‘that handsome fellow with the luxurious hair’.”
Stephen looked away for a moment, and Tony was certain he was hiding a smile.
“And here I was thinking of you as a Royce.”
Tony snorted. “As in Rolls? No. No fancy names for me. What you see is what you get. Except when I’m acting. Which I usually am.”
Stephen turned, giving Tony a look at his full face for the first time. The man had striking features, all cheekbones and the interestingly shaped lips and supercilious eyebrows.
“Are you acting right now?”
“Yes.”
“To what end?” Stephen asked.
“I’m drowning my sorrows. I’ve recently suffered a nearly debilitating heartbreak.” Tony polished off the other Seine Sunrise. “Rhodey told me to act happy or I’d scare all the guys and dolls away.”
That wasn’t entirely true, though, because Tony was feeling much better about his lot in life at the moment. Pepper had given him the whole spiel about fish in the sea, but apparently he’d needed visual reinforcement.
“Would you like to come and see the set for my new movie?” Tony asked. “It’s a pretty accurate dungeon setup.”
Stephen leaned in close, murmuring in Tony’s ear. “Not the ambience I was hoping for.”
Tony’s skin flushed so hot so fast he thought he might burst into flame.
“On the other hand, I have a magnificent mansion not far from here.”
He didn’t usually take people back to his house, not after just meeting them. But a high-end guy like Stephen would probably never get on his knees in an alley. No anonymous blow jobs, then. Tony was filled with anticipation and suddenly he couldn’t sit still.
“Rhodey! I have to see a man about a dog. I’ll catch up with you tomorrow.”
Rhodey just waved him away.
Tony followed Stephen out the side door, admiring the cut of his suit. Particularly in the rear. It wasn’t love at first sight – he didn’t believe in that smarmy garbage – but Tony did feel a sort of tender curiosity.
He wondered if Stephen would look as good out of the suit as in it.
He was not disappointed.
