Monday: Songs in the Key of…Love

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

Hi! I’m brumeier, and this week we’re going to be tapping into some tunes for inspiration. Today’s theme is Songs in the Key of…Love! Your prompts can be any song title, set of lyrics, band name, or album title that has to do with love. From the first blush of new love to the bitter dregs of love gone wrong, it’s all fair game.

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...

+ Astro, Ensemble, Grouplove

+ Stargate Atlantis, Evan Lorne/Any, Painted on My Heart (The Cult)

+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Any, Everybody Loves Me (OneRepublic)

+ MI5|Spooks, Lucas North/Adam Carter,

But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keepin’ all my secrets safe tonight
(Carly Simon)

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.

Spoilers for Astro Zone episode 1


“Our first vacation in five years. In the entire time we’ve been working since debut,” Jinwoo said softly, underneath the upbeat music playing over the car stereo. It wasn’t often that they listened to their own music, but Somebody Like was a good song to listen to while cruising along in the car.

Myungjun nodded. “Longer,” he said softly, “if you count the promotional work we did before debut.”

“Longer than that,” Dongmin added, “given that we were never able to go on school trips like the rest of our classmates.”

Myungjun twisted around to look at Minhyuk in the very back row, head tipped back, asleep. He’d had his appendix out a couple of weeks ago but had gotten straight back into the thick of things - appearing on Vlive for the fans, recording a vocal cover, and then doing a dance cover video with Bin and some university students. Fans always complained that Dongmin was overworked, but Minhyuk was busier behind the scenes. He’d worked hard, producing that song for that girl group too. No wonder he’d fallen asleep.

Bin nodded at the camera affixed to the dashboard. “Is it really a vacation if we’re working during it?”

“A vacation,” Sanha said firmly, “is when the cameras are off.”

For all that Bin and Minhyuk had been in training the longest, Sanha had had cameras on him from a much earlier age than all of them, Bin’s child actor and model days notwithstanding, or the fact that Minhyuk was only a year older than him.

Myungjun looked at Jinwoo. “What if we run away?”

Jinwoo glanced at him. “What?”

A car full of writers and producers was following them, filming them from behind. He’d been given strict instructions to make sure the car stayed with them on the road trip.

But Dongmin - Dongmin, straight-laced and upright Lee Dongmin - nodded. “Yeah. Go to the airport. Let’s run away. To Jeju Island or something.”

Jinwoo glanced in the rearview mirror at Minhyuk, who never looked young and innocent, not even in sleep. Sanha met his gaze for a moment, nodded.

Jinwoo took a deep breath. They’d get into so much trouble. There’d be so much yelling. As the team leader, he’d shoulder most of the blame.

But he said, “Everyone turn off your cellphones.”

“What? Why?” Bin asked, but he was already obeying, fishing his phone out of his pocket.

“Plausible deniability,” Dongmin said. “For when we get lost on the way to our destination.”

Myungjun turned his phone off with a flourish. “Let’s do it. We have all our clothes and wallets. We don’t need passports. We have money. We’ll scrub off our makeup and make Minhyuk and Jinwoo do all the talking at the airport.”

“My phone’s off,” Sanha reported. “I stole Minhyuk’s out of his pocket and turned it off too.”

“Hyung, get mine?” Jinwoo asked, and Myungjun reached out, stuck his little hand into Jinwoo’s pocket.

Ordinarily he’d have pinched or otherwise been mischievous, but not now.

Jinwoo took a deep breath.

“It’s off,” Myungjun said.

Jinwoo signaled briefly before changing lanes, and then he sped up. “Let’s go.”

Let’s go together

Aww, yes! I'm glad they're going to run away for just a little while. Everyone needs a break, especially these hard-working boys. ::nods:: Thank you for this great fill!

You're welcome!

As excited as I was for their new show, I was like...guys. Guys this is not actually a vacation.

And so when MJ was like...let's run away! I was like...you should, boys. You really should.
