comment_ficBack again for another two weeks of inspiration fun it's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
momma_66. Let's get this Munday started with Self Care. We all need it and we all deserve it.
The oxford dictionary defines self-care as -
the practice of activities that are necessary to sustain life and health, normally initiated and carried out by the individual for him- or herself.
So pamper, cater, and give your prompts a caring touch today.
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…
🐶 Any, Any, a long snuggle after work with their pet
💅🏾 Any, Any, spa day
⚠️ Any, Any, discovering a local rage room
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 2021 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: 2021-03-02 05:08 am (UTC)Trixie was relieved when Jupiter’s fever finally broke.
He was normally a healthy guy. He ate right, tried to get in a little exercise every day, and took daily vitamins. He was a lot better at saying no to junk food than Trixie was, maybe because he still carried around the stigma of being Baby Fatso when he was just a little kid. So when he got sick, it was unexpected and scary.
“Lean on me. There you go.”
Trixie helped Jupiter shuffle from the bedroom to the bathroom, where she already had the shower going at just the right temperature.
“I can do it,” Jupiter protested.
“You’re a limp noodle, Jupe. Just let me help you.”
Jupiter grumbled but let Trixie strip him out of his pajamas, which were pretty gross from all the sweat that had poured off him. She put them right in the laundry hamper. She’d be doing laundry later, because the bedding was in a similar state; Trixie had been sleeping on a cot at the end of the bed.
Trixie had never appreciated having a walk-in shower more than she did at that moment. She stripped off her own clothes and got into the shower with Jupiter, making sure he got right under the shower head.
“Oh, man,” Jupiter sighed. “That feels good.”
“I’ll bet it does.”
Trixie pulled Jupiter’s soap out of the caddy and started working it over his back, generating a nice lather to wash away the lingering traces of illness from his skin. Jupiter braced himself against the shower wall, the slightest tremor in his arms and legs. It was the longest he’d been upright since he got sick.
“I feel better already,” Jupiter said.
Trixie was glad to hear it. She’d been more than happy to help Jupiter while he was sick, but seeing him weak and feverish had been an unwelcome jolt to her perception of him. He was the rock she’d built her new life on. Jupiter was dependable, resourceful, and so, so smart.
“Okay, I need the other side.”
Jupiter turned and leaned back against the tiled wall, eyes closed. Trixie washed his chest and arms, his legs and genitals, even his feet. Once that was done, she had him bend down so she could wash his hair.
There was something oddly soothing about taking care of Jupiter. It was different than working a case together, different than cuddling together on the couch watching an old movie or having sex. More intimate, somehow.
Once Jupiter had been fully washed, he pulled Trixie into a hug and they stood there under the hot water, just holding each other. Trixie closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of Jupiter’s water-slick skin against hers. They’d never been the kind of couple who showered together, but maybe that needed rethinking. Once Jupiter was fully recovered, of course.
When Jupiter started getting the trembles again, Trixie turned the shower off.
“I can dry myself,” Jupiter assured Trixie.
“Let me know if you feel dizzy.”
They crowded together on the bathmat, both trying not to knock the other over, and Trixie couldn’t help laughing.
“This is ridiculous!”
“This is why we don’t shower together,” Jupiter pointed out. But he was smiling, too, and Trixie couldn’t help giving him a kiss.
While Jupiter got dressed, Trixie quickly remade the bed. It was only mid-afternoon, but she decided to crawl into bed with Jupiter. She’d missed sleeping next to him, and now that the threat of fever-sweat was over, she was glad to put the cot back in the closet.
“This is nice,” Jupiter said as they snuggled up under the blankets. “Thanks.”
“Any time,” Trixie said. “But don’t ever get that sick again, okay?”
“Okay.”
Jupiter kissed the back of her head and they fell asleep together, and it was the best Trixie had felt in over a week.

Date: 2021-03-04 11:12 am (UTC)She found the bag of mini Kit Kats beneath a pile of old threadbare sweaters. Claudia doubted any still fit her, but woven together they'd make for one eye-catching scarf. But what color would she make the outer layer? She had faded purple, bright orange, and wine red to choose from. Snapping a candy between her teeth, the sharp crunch breaking the uncharacteristic silence that had settled over her room, she pondered possible designs.
By the time she'd settled on a pattern (red and orange evenly mixed together with purple tones at the edges), the bag was empty and her floor was littered with candy wrappers. She hurriedly stuffed them in an empty shoe box, giving the room one last look over before shoving it back under her bed. Claudia may not have been an honors student, but she wasn't stupid. If her mom poked her head in, there wouldn't be any evidence — not even the teensient clue — of what had just occurred.
Picking herself up off the floor, she made her way to her dresser. Stuffed under a stack of folded shirts was a box of coconut truffles and a pile of assorted Starburst. She reached for a cherry chew, but pulled her hand away before she could wrap her fingers around it. If she kept going on like this, her room might be spotless by the time that afternoon's meeting rolled around. What kind of a hostess left her friends empty handed?
All the same, she grabbed a handful of chocolate before slipping the drawer shut.
