Starting Monday off With Some Comfort

[schweinsty.livejournal.com]

Heya! I’m schweinsty and today's theme is hurt/comfort. Prompts should involve a character with physical or emotional hurt of any sort being comforted in some way.

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...
+ Supernatural, Dean Winchester + Team Free Will (Bunker Version), Recovering from an injury
+ Tangled, Rapunzel/Flynn Rider, PTSD
+ Little Women (2019), Jo March/Frederick Baehr, Pneumonia

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.

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.

Fill Hudson and Rex

[helsinkibaby.livejournal.com]

The soft beeps and whirrs of way too many machines echo in Charlie’s ears, a comforting background noise as his head drops to his chest and his eyes start to close, uncomfortable hospital room chair be damned.  He jerks awake a little when Rex nudges his knee, but he’s completely awake when he looks at the still figure on the bed and sees two brown eyes frowning at him. He can’t stop the smile that springs to his lips as he springs to his feet, reaching out to take Sarah’s hand in his.

“Hey there, sleepyhead.” He keeps his voice light. “You gave us quite a scare there.”

Sarah’s frown deepens and she runs her tongue along her lips. “What...” The words vanish in a cough and he turns, pours a glass of water and helps her take a sip. When he puts the glass back down on the bedside cabinet, he takes her hand again.

“You were driving home when another car ran a red light and hit you.” He keeps it simple, pushes away the thought that they’d got lucky, that it was the passenger side that took the brunt of the impact, that it could have been so much worse. “You’re pretty beat up... you’re gonna be sore for a while... but you’re okay.”

Tears are swimming in Sarah’s eyes and, as if he can sense it, Rex whines, stands on his hind legs and puts his paws on the bed, resting on Sarah’s knee. A ghost of a smile flits across her face but one tear still creeps down her cheek.

Charlie doesn’t think twice before he brushes it away.

“You’re okay,” he tells her again and she nods.

Her throat works furiously and she winces as she takes a deep breath. “You don’t have to stay,” she whispers, stopping when he shakes his head, squeezes her hand.

“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” he tells her quietly, knowing it’s going to be a long time before the terror of getting that phone call, the long wait for any news, leaves his system. “Tell me to stay... and I’ll be here as long as you’ll have me.”

This time, her breath is a lot shakier and he doesn’t think it’s entirely because she’s in pain. Her hand turns under his, fingers closing around his palm. “Stay,” she whispers. “Please stay.”

With his free hand, he tucks her hair back behind her ear. “Okay.” His fingers linger on her cheek. “Go to sleep. I’ll be here with you wake up.”

Her eyes are already fluttering shut and she’s out in seconds.

He stays where he is, holding her hand.
