comment_ficHappy Friday everyone! It's another Free For All, so get your prompts and creative juices ready, because all prompts, fandoms, and pairings are welcome today!
Just remember to play by the rules:
No more than 5 prompts in a row, no more than 3 prompts per fandom. If someone answers a prompt, you can prompt again.
No spoilers in your prompts for up to 1 week after the original air/publication date. If there's spoilers in your fic, warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces. This is especially important as the Fall season is gearing up!
For the love of our volunteer code monkeys and sorters, please format everything properly. For example:
And, as ever, if you can't find something to pique your interest, feel free to peruse our lonely prompts. Keep in mind, this weekend is a contest weekend!
Speaking of lonely prompts, a quick note: there may be issues accessing posts from certain users, even in the community. I don't know if it's from LJ purging inactive members, or if they deleted their journals, but even I as a maintainer do not have access to them. For now I'm having the sorters leave those prompts archived in Delicious, and will address them once it's determined if we can get those entries back.

White Collar, Neal/Peter, clever (sticky) fingers
Inception/Leverage, Eliot/Parker/Hardison, (fusion au) you've got to dream a little bigger darling

Date: 2010-09-26 05:21 am (UTC)Gabriel stands in front of Castiel, reaching out and pulling the bottle of whiskey away from the other Angel. "What are you doing?"
"Drinking the liquor store." Castiel sways on his feet, more affected by the alcohol than he should be. He really is losing his Grace and it breaks Gabriel's heart to see it. Castiel is his favorite little brother.
"Why?" Gabriel reaches out with his Grace and curls it tightly around the tattered remains of Castiel's.
So occupied with filling in the dark spots in Castiel's Grace, Gabriel doesn't see the first shove coming. Castiel glares down at him from his new found seat on the floor. His Grace jerks away from Gabriel's, forcing it out of his vessel.
"You don't get to come back to me and act like nothing ever happened. Like we're still the same and you can fix everything. Like you have the right to even try anymore. You left, ran away like a coward. You left me alone because you were to selfish and caught up in your own pain to know that everyone else was hurting too. To know that I was hurting and still am." Castiel says, panting heavily now.
Gabriel stares at the ground, letting his brother's words cut deep inside of him, making him bleed in places he thought he'd left behind. They're all true, every bit of it. It hurts and it makes Gabriel want to run from Castiel now, but he stays where he is, on the dirty, scuffed floor of a liquor store.
He looks up and meets the furious gaze of his brother and says the only thing he can think of. "I'm sorry."
Castiel glares down at him for a few more seconds before reaching down and pulling Gabriel up roughly. "Yes, you should be."
"I left because I thought I could protect you from my own pain. I didn't want it to infect you like it did me. You were too pure for that, you still are. I just didn't want you to be as bitter and cynical as I am. I left so you could have a chance to be happy." Gabriel tenatively reaches out with his Grace again and this time Castiel allows the touch, pushing his Grace up to twine with Gabriel's.
"When you left, I lost a part of me. So please, don't protect me from you. There's no reason to. I love you." Castiel tugs Gabriel closer to him and smiles at him.
"I love you too." Gabriel smiles, a true smile, the first in centuries, and kisses Castiel softly.
