Hello, everyone. I’m [livejournal.com profile] nagi_schwarz and today's theme is book titles. Prompts can be anything related to the titles of books, be it an individual book in a series or the entire series or a chapter in a book or a novella or a poetry anthology or even textbook and other non-fiction, a book within a book, or even crossovers and fusions with book fandoms.

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...
+ Stargate Multiverse, any pilot, Skyward (Brandon Sanderson)
+ Trixie Belden, any, The Bungalow Mystery (Carolyn Keene)
+ BBC Robin Hood, Guy of Gisborne, Protector of the Small (Tamora Pierce)
+ The Untamed, Wei Wuxian, Wild Magic (Tamora Pierce)
+ MI-5|Spooks, any, Warbreaker (Brandon Sanderson)

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.

Trixie sneezed, and nearly hit her head on the back of the stair riser.

The little closet under the stairs was dusty, full of cobwebs and mouse droppings that were hopefully not recent, and it was really cramped. She couldn’t get in there with the full-sized broom, so she was using a hand broom, a dust rag, and a Swiffer duster.

She hated dusting. Always had.

But then Trixie spied something wedged between the studs at the back of the closet. It took some tugging to pull it free, and she wrinkled her nose at the dusty grime that transferred to her hands, but she gave a shout of triumph when it came loose.

“Jupe!” she shouted, backing out of the closet on her hands and knees. “Come see what I found!”

By the time she’d wiped down the rectangular metal box and washed her hands, Jupiter had joined her in the kitchen. There were still moving boxes piled up everywhere, carefully labeled in Jupiter’s steady hand, but the table was clear. Trixie plunked herself down in a chair and examined the box from every angle.

“Where did you find it?” Jupiter asked, sitting next to her. He had a smear of blue paint on his forehead.

“The closet under the stairs. Which is gross, by the way.”

“I can tell.” Jupiter delicately removed a cobweb from Trixie’s curly hair. “So what’s inside?”

“I don’t know yet. I waited for you.”

Sometimes Trixie felt she’d hit the lottery when she met Jupiter Jones. He had the same drive to solve mysteries, to know the unknowable. They’d each even had their own mystery-solving club when they were kids. Sometimes the universe knew exactly what it was doing.

“Any marks or notations on the outside?” Jupiter asked.

“Just some dents and scratches. But there’s definitely something inside, I can feel it sliding around in there.”

“Buried treasure?” he teased.

Trixie stuck her tongue out at him. “If it is, I’m using it to hire a maid.”

She knew it would be different once they had the bungalow cleaned up and painted and filled with all their things. It was their first house together and Trixie wanted it to be perfect.

“Well, don’t keep me in suspense,” Jupiter said. “Open it up and let’s see what we’ve won.”

It didn’t open easily. Trixie and Jupiter had to take turns working at it until they could pry the lid off.

“Wow,” Trixie breathed. “It’s someone’s trinket box!”

She pulled each item out, being very careful with it. There was a pin in the shape of a Christmas tree, fashioned from colorful gemstones that Jupiter said weren’t actually gemstones at all. A birthday card filled out to Georgie from Suze. A dried rose that had mostly crumbled into dust. A ticket stub. A gold cuff bracelet that Jupiter said was real gold. And at the bottom of it all a letter.

Dear Georgie,

I wish things didn’t have to be this way. I want to tell everyone I’m your girlfriend and walk hand-in-hand with you in the park. Maybe someday.

My parents are sending me away to stay with my grandparents in Salt Lake City. I’ll miss you every day we’re apart, even if that winds up being forever.

All my love and more,

Suze

“That’s so sad!” Trixie looked through everything again, hoping to find a date or a surname or something, but there were no additional clues about who Georgie and Suze might be. “And poor Georgie hid this away. I wonder if it was a Romeo and Juliet situation?”

“There’s no way to date this,” Jupiter said, taking the letter and rereading it to himself. “Could be they were from different classes, or even different races. That would’ve been a huge hurdle to overcome if we think this letter is from the fifties or sixties.”

“Do you really think it could be that old?”

Much looked up as Guy struggled into the hut they were sharing, carrying a load of firewood.

“The winds brought a tree down the far side of the village, knocking down Widow Hornbeam’s hut in the process. I’ve been helping salvage what we could, and was given some firewood in thanks. I said we could use it.”

“Definitely,” Much replied. “I had wondered what had kept you.” He paused, then added, “Your bag is moving. What have you got in it?”

“Ah!” Guy reached inside the bag and pulled out two tiny kittens.

Much shook his head. “I give up!”

Lucas was slowly working his way through the coded messages they had intercepted, trying to spot anything which would indicate what the splinter group was planning to do. Suddenly he looked up. “It’s Sarajevo all over again,” he said. “They intend to assassinate the Vice President when he visits Portsmouth, knowing that his country will blame their arch-rivals.”

“They will then launch an attack in retaliation and the splinter group will step in and seize power,” Ros added. “You’re sure about Portsmouth?”

“Yes. But I’m not sure how we prevent the Vice President from going there.”

“We’ll get Harry to re-arrange the visit to Plymouth. We cannot afford for war to break out in the region.”

As the man and the woman approached the barn, the wolf on guard seemed to grow before their eyes; its hackles were up, and its eyes gleamed an angry yellow. They continued their approach, despite the deep growl that resonated in the wolf’s throat.

One of them spoke. “Very impressive, Lucas. But if you want your supper you’ll have to let us past. And we’ve brought you a roast chicken.”

The second added, “And you would be more convincing if your tail wasn’t wagging at the same time.”

The werewolf bounced over and followed Tariq and Jo into the barn.

Buck watched in horror as the fire truck fell towards him. He wouldn't be able to move fast enough for it not to fall on him. He was almost clear...

Wham! It bounced a little but it was too late. His leg was trapped and he wasn't going anywhere. He was abstractly aware there wasn't any pain. Or too much pain. He wasn't sure which.

People moved around him. Loud. Demanding. Pleading. It was a cacophony of sounds that made no sense.

He knew he was losing too much blood. The truck loomed above him, an unmovable object. Light dimmed...


"Hey!" A hand shook him. "Wake up!"

Buck became aware. He blinked and didn't know where he was.

"Buck!" That was a command. He opened his eyes.

Eddie! He lunged for Eddie and wrapped his arms tightly about him. He panted.

"It's okay," Eddie said softly, rubbing a warm hand down his spine. "I'm here."

"You weren't there..." Buck whimpered.

"I'm here now," Eddie said firmly.

"Bad dream. You weren't there."

"I'll always be here," Eddie whispered.

"Dreamt about the truck. My leg. I didn't make it without you."

Eddie drew Buck in for a kiss. "I'll always be here."
