comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cozy_coffee and today's theme is Dæmons. Prompts should include some reference to Dæmons, the physical manifestation of a human soul that takes animal form.
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 the fandom's full name
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, the biggest badass has the smallest, cutest daemon
+ Hannibal, Hannibal, what form would his Dæmon take?
+ Any, any, Person A is left reeling after someone pet their daemon ( in the fandom you dont touch someone's daemon, it is the same as someone inappropriately touching you)
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 2023 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.
While the use of LJ's advanced search options is available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

MacLeod’s own Kenna snuffles at Nineveh and leans forward a little but keeps her peace.
Bringing his hand up to run along Nineveh’s spine, Methos just hums lightly. He ignores MacLeod fidgeting, Kenna’s grumbling, and the certainty of Kalas interrupting his peace due to MacLeod never having even the slightest acquittance with subtlety to finish the sentence. With a flourish, he adds a period and closes the journal before looking up.
“You are Methos?” MacLeod asks after a moment of staring.
Nineveh huffs, kneading Methos’ sweater. “That would be clever,” she admits and Methos nods. “Aye, it would be,” he agrees. “But no, just Adam Pierson.”
Kenna stamps a hoof. “And the quickening?” she demands of Nineveh.
Nineveh delicately licks a paw and begins grooming. Methos decides to answer, though he directs the words to MacLeod, of course.
“Antony Orsini,” he says, in a tone of confession. “Don caught me trying to find my own chronicle.” He shrugs. “I died a fool, fighting for the historically wrong side.” He waves a hand dismissively. “But the history here, MacLeod—well, Don couldn’t very well let me go, with knowledge of the Watchers in my head, so he set me up as recruit and gave me an impossible task.”
“To research Methos,” MacLeod drawls out, sounding unimpressed.
Methos does so love underwhelming the audience. Nineveh purrs, nips at Methos’ throat, and jumps down, still completely ignoring MacLeod and Kenna.
“Right, right,” Methos mumbles, scrambling to his feet. “I’ve an appointment I’m going to be late for—got lost in thought.” He scoops up the journal and follows Nineveh to his duffle bag, where the essentials are already concealed beneath a change of clothes. The set dressing in the flat around them, the accoutrement of Adam Pierson, Watcher, was always intended to be left behind.
“Where are you going?” MacLeod asks, quietly drawing closer, hand nearing his sword.
Adam Pierson-as-Antony Orsini is barely a century old—long enough to have learned a little caution but not to grow out of youth’s arrogance. Methos rolls his eyes and replies, “Research, MacLeod.”
“Kalas is hunting you,” MacLeod tells him. “He killed Don.”
Methos allows himself to react because Adam Pierson, Antony Orsini, and Adam Pierson-as-Antony Orsini all love Don. He staggers, reaching to catch himself on the bookcase. Nineveh bounds back to him, and Methos curls around her.
“Why?” he manages.
MacLeod folds, believes the mask, will guard Antony Orsini the student until given irrefutable proof that Antony Orsini is a lie. MacLeod places a hand on his back, offering his strength, his surety.
“He hunts Methos,” MacLeod says. “Come, Adam. We must get you somewhere safe.”
Hands clutching Nineveh, Adam Pierson-as-Antony Orsini nods. He grabs his go-bag and lets himself be led away from Adam Pierson’s life.
.
Under MacLeod’s protection, in hiding, Nineveh purrs into Methos’ neck, murmuring a language lost long before writing. “He’s barely an armed opponent, my human.”
Methos laughs, barely more than a breath, into her fur. “I know, my soul.”
They don’t have to share a glance or a word or a thought to know the names lingering in the silence.
Methos does not say or even think, One day, my soul, we shall hold Annan again.
Nineveh does not say or even think, One day, my human, we shall feel the pulse of Kronos’ heart in our teeth.
For now, they are Antony Orsini and Agata, and they are sheltering in MacLeod’s protection, planning how to survive again.
