Hi! I’m brumeier, and this week we’re going to be hitting the library shelves for some titles because I love me some books. Today’s theme is Book Titles: Romance! Your prompts can be any book title that fits this theme, whether or not the actual book is in that genre.

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, any/any, I Want to Kiss You in Public (Zelda French)

Fill: Bin/Dongmin + original child character

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

“I want to kiss you in public,” Bin protested in a low voice.

He and Dongmin were tucked into the alcove just below the stairs, wrapped up in each other’s arms, speaking softly.

“I promise we will be able to soon.” Dongmin nosed along the side of Bin’s jaw, and Bin’s breath hitched. “Give it time. One day we’ll have the freedom to show our love for each other. I promise.”

Bin groaned - and the groan turned into a moan when Dongmin nibbled on his throat.

Bin tightened his arms around Dongmin and tugged him up for a proper kiss, mouths meeting and lips parting -

“No! No kissing!”

Tiny fists battered at Bin’s thighs as little Minah tried to wedge her way between her fathers.

They sighed and parted reluctantly. Getting any privacy to themselves while she was still awake was almost impossible, and she was going through a very bizarre phase - though Bin’s mother assured him it was quite normal - where she didn’t want them being affectionate with each other.

It would have been more annoying than it was if Minah weren’t so adorable.

She planted her little hands on their respective hips and shoved them apart. They gave in and let themselves be moved.

“Minah-ya,” Bin said, kneeling down to look her in the eye, “Appa loves Minah too.”

Minah cocked her head and presented her cheek. “Appa only kiss Minah.”

Bin looked up at Dongmin, who just huffed, amused, so Bin leaned in and kissed Minah on the cheek. “Love you, baby girl.”

Minah turned to Dongmin. “Abeoji only kiss Minah.”

Dongmin leaned down and kissed her cheek as well.

She grabbed each of their hands and tugged them toward the den with an exclamation of, “Let’s play cars!”

Bin caught Dongmin’s eye over her head and mouthed Later, and winked, and Dongmin blushed.

Then they both settled onto the mat and helped her set up a little Hot Wheels race course, and they played with her till she was tired. It was Dongmin who carried her into her bedroom and tucked her into her crib.

It was Bin who was sprawled across the bed with a fake rose in his teeth when Dongmin entered the master bedroom.

Dongmin almost burst out laughing, but he clapped a hand over his mouth so as not to wake Minah.

“What are you doing?”

“Recreating one of the greatest scenes from one of your earliest dramas,” Bin said.

Dongmin smiled and sprawled on the bed beside him. Bin set the rose aside and let Dongmin pull him into a kiss, and kissing each other in private was just fine too.

MI-5|Spooks, any, Soulmates (LJ Smith)

Fill:

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

“What are you two giggling about?” Ros Myers demanded. “You sound like a couple of schoolboys.”

Lucas bit his lip and giggled again.

“Show her!” Adam said.

Lucas rolled up his sleeve and pointed to a point on his upper arm.

Ros looked at the tattoo and then took a second look. “Oh!” she said. The ink in the tattoo appeared to have changed shape to form what was undoubtably a soul mark.

Adam nodded and held out his own arm, showing a similar soul mark on the back of his wrist. “So you see,” he said, “after all the teasing you lot have given us, we really are soulmates!”

BBC Robin Hood, Guy of Gisborne, Somewhere Only We Know (Maurene Goo)

Fill:

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Much had come across the tiny clearing a few weeks earlier, when collecting early blackberries. It was well off the main track, but accessible from a number of starting points, so there was no risk of them leaving a distinct path to it.

Guy had agreed it was perfect, being just big enough for two men to lie side by side. The only eyes which would see them were the small woodland creatures and the birds flying overhead. And this moonlit night, with the moon herself casting a gentle light on them, Guy and Much were almost certainly more relaxed and happy than anyone else throughout the entire forest.

9-1-1, Eddie/Buck, Crave by Tracy Wolff

FIll: Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz/Evan "Buck" Buckley WARNINGS: infidelity, dub-con, unhappy ending

[darkmoore.livejournal.com]

WARNINGS: infidelity, dub-con, unhappy ending
Eddie looked down at Buck, who was fast asleep in bed next to him. The sheet had slipped down to his hips, giving Eddie a lovely view of Buck’s broad chest and the well-defined muscles of his arms. Buck was absolutely gorgeous.

Yet, Eddie felt dread and guilt creeping up his spine, cold and persistent.

This night had been a mistake.

A mistake of epic proportions.

Today was Buck’s wedding day, and Eddie was supposed to be Buck’s best man.

How the hell had Buck’s stag-night gotten so out of control? And more importantly, why the hell had Eddie given into his craving to kiss Buck just once, on the night before his best friend’s wedding?

Buck had been more than just a little drunk, having fun with the others at the party Eddie had organized. Everything had been perfect, until Eddie had taken Buck home to sleep off the booze and had ended up kissing him.

Nausea welled up in Eddie as he looked down at the still peacefully sleeping man in bed beside him. There was a nasty little voice inside of Eddie’s head, yelling at him for taking advantage of his friend. For seducing Buck, when the concept of consent had been a slippery thing at best.

“What have I done?” Eddie whispered and rubbed his hands over his face. He felt absolutely miserable.

Taylor would be getting ready for the wedding soon, Eddie realized with a quick glance at the time. She’d be radiant and stunningly beautiful in her white wedding gown that was doing nothing to hide her slight baby bump.

Buck would be a daddy, soon and something in Eddie’s chest clenched painfully when he thought about Christopher and the way Buck adored Eddie’s son. Buck would be an amazing father; Eddie knew that with certainty.

There had been a time, when Buck had tentatively, carefully let Eddie know that he would love to become a family with Christopher and Eddie, but Eddie had shot him down. In hindsight, that was Eddie’s biggest mistake. His biggest regret.

He freely admitted that the attraction he felt towards Buck, his best friend, had scared and confused him at first. So much so that he thought he would never be able to be with Buck.

And now that theory had been proven to be false in the worst moment possible.

Carefully, Eddie disentangled himself from the sheets. He needed to get dressed. And he would need to wake Buck, soon, but he had no idea what would happen next.

He had no idea how he was supposed to face the consequences of what he had done.

It would most likely be the end of their friendship, and Eddie knew he’d possibly destroyed Buck’s relationship with Taylor, too.

Eddie dressed quickly and quietly, before heading over to grab a glass of water and some painkillers for Buck.

Then he went to gently shake his best friend awake.

“Wha-?” Buck sat up, startled and grabbed his head in both hands. “Oh god, my head is killing me!”

Eddie handed him the glass of water and the two pills. Buck took them without hesitation.

“Man, how much did I have to drink last night? Some best man you are. You were supposed to make sure that I’m presentable later.” Buck complained in a low voice, then frowned at the sheet that was still only covering his hips.

“Dude, did you undress me? What the hell? The day before my wedding is not the right time for pranks, Eddie. Geez, you’re the worst. I should have asked Howie to be my best man.” There was amusement in Buck’s voice and Eddie hated himself for the sliver of hope that Buck’s words brought.

He forced out a laugh. “Yeah, maybe you should’ve. You don’t remember anything?”

“Nope, nothing. Can’t even remember you getting me home.”

“As long as you don’t forget your own wedding, you’re golden.” Eddie forced out, doing his best to sound cheerful.

“Man, Taylor would kill me if I left her at the altar,” Buck murmured and made to get out of bed.

Eddie quickly turned away from him.

“I’ll get your suit, you go take a shower. I won’t be responsible for any bloodshed Taylor might do,” Eddie said and fled the room.

If only it were true.

Because if Buck ever remembered, if Taylor ever found out, Eddie would be the one responsible for the consequences.

Eddie hoped that day would never come.

any, any Heart Shaped Box (Joe Hill)

Fill: Lucifer (sorry no romance ooooops)

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

“Delivery for you, boss.” Mazikeen said the word boss with unfair amounts of skepticism as she pushed the box across the bar to Lucifer.

He glanced over his shoulder and reached toward it - and snatched his hand back. It was a heart-shaped box. And not just heart-shaped, but covered in silver paper that made it look like it was made of silver filigree.

Lucifer had seen a silver filigree heart before. He’d seen one shaped as a lighter clutched in the hands of the most beautiful, desirable person to walk the multiplanes. He could almost smell peaches and summer wine.

No way was he touching a box that was a “gift” from Desire of the Endless.

“Not gonna open it?” Mazikeen asked.

“Contemplating how to set it on fire, actually.”

“Ex-girlfriend?” Mazikeen arched an eyebrow.

“No. Much more frightening.” Lucifer cast about. “Do you have gloves or something? A box that they put radioactive nuclear waste in? A black hole?”

Mazikeen looked amused.

And then Trixie Decker reached up and snagged the box off the bar. “This is so pretty! Can I open it? Mommy lets me open boxes even if what’s inside isn’t for me, because opening boxes is fun.”

Lucifer started to say No, but Trixie had whipped the silver paper off of it and plucked off the lid and inside was - a doll. One of those terrifying dolls that was supposed to be a vampire or a werewolf or some other misguidedly romanticized monster. From…what was it?

Right. Monster High.

“Oooh! This is the one I’ve always wanted!” Trixie clutched the doll to her chest and beamed at Lucifer.

Chloe, right on Trixie’s heels, glared at him.

He smiled innocently and quietly considered how he might get the doll - for surely it was not just a doll - back later.

Until then…

He beamed at Trixie and said, “A very merry unbirthday to you.”

Stargate:Atlantis, Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, The Wedding Date (Jasmine Guillory)

Fill - The Wedding Date

[goddess47]

Warning: Not a happy story


Even though he was the best man and was paired with the maid-of-honor, John had brought a date. The maid-of-honor call me Suzi! was one of Keller's sisters -- a kindergarten teacher -- and he wasn't going to spend all day hanging around her. She was too cheerful and too controlling. Dealing with six-year-olds would do that, he supposed.

John quietly found a date in the Linguistics Department. Dating another soldier would feel skeevy, he knew, and most of Rodney's hard-science folk had already paired off.

"What's Bending doing here?" he overheard Keller ask Suzi.

"He's my date," John offered easily.

"What?" Keller all-but-screeched. "He's..."

John held up a hand. "He. Is. My. Date. And if you say another word, you will be sorry."

Keller kept quiet but shot John a glare.

Stephen Bending had arrived in Atlantis two months ago. He was already fluent in both Ancient and Wraith, extremely handsome, and... openly gay. From day one he had butted heads with Keller and publicly demanded another doctor for his primary care.

"You aren't gay!" Keller hissed.

John shrugged. "More bi, actually. Until the government finally got rid of DADT, it wasn't an option. Now it is."

The two women turned away and stalked to the other end of the reception space.

John went back to Steve.

"Keller being her usual charming self?" Steve asked.

"Yeah," John sighed. He rubbed his forehead.

Steve put his arms around John. "Headache? Want me to kiss it and make it better?"

John relaxed and let Steve place a small kiss at his temple. It felt nice.

John watched as Keller ranted at Rodney who held up his hands to try to placate her. She must have finally gotten to the part about John's date as Rodney's head snapped in their direction.

John's heart clenched at the devastation in Rodney's eyes.
