Wednesday: Gifts

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone, & welcome to day three of my guest-hosting week. I'm very pleased to announce my third theme - Gifts.

You can interpret "gifts" as tangible in some way - a puppy, a space-ship, a trip to Disneyland, firearms, dance lessons, etc - and they can be given for whatever occasion you like (or for no particular occasion at all). You can also interpret it as something intangible yet significant - life, love, freedom, closure, peace of mind, etc. Alternately, feel free to interpret it as the special skills, abilities, endowments, etc. that a character may possess, & prompt accordingly. It's up to you!

Please keep these rules in mind when posting prompts:

• Only three prompts for the same fandom.
• Only five prompts in a row (though if one of your prompts is filled, you can prompt again).
• No spoilers in your prompts for at least a week after the airdate/release.
• Warn for any spoilers for your fic in bold and leave at least three spaces before the text.

Prompt formatting examples (because proper formatting for the code monkeys is good manners):

Supernatural, Sam/Gabriel, "Would it kill you to be just a little bit appreciative?" "Gabriel, why the hell would I 'appreciate' this many blow-up dolls?"
Sherlock (BBC), John/Sherlock, it doesn't matter what John does, how careful he thinks he's been - Sherlock ALWAYS knows what he's bought him for any occasion
Doctor Who/Torchwood, Ten + Rose + Jack + any (or any combination thereof), sometimes the Doctor's uncanny ability to talk himself into or out of any situation is a gift... & sometimes it's just annoying

Nothing grabbing your attention? That's alright, there are plenty of Lonely Prompts out there waiting for love.

And remember - each fill is like a gift to the prompter, so really, you're participating doubly every time you post a comment fic today. Therefore have fun & give as much as you can!

The Gift (1/1)

"The granting of a fledgling is the greatest gift God can give," Castiel remarks. Gabriel nods, thoughtfully sucking on his (fourth) lollipop.

"True fact, guys. You'd be idiots to turn this down. Not that I think it's a good idea, but if Dad wants it to happen, the least you could do is nod and smile," he says, slightly muffled.

Dean glowers at Chuck, who's hunched in on himself at the head of the table. "I do not frickin' believe this," he mutters.

Sam's still scanning the letter that Chuck brought with him. "It says it'll take four months. What for?"

Chuck swallows and shoots a nervous glance at Dean. "For the, for the hatching."

"Hatching," Sam repeats. "As in...an egg?"

Dean chokes on air. Castiel and Gabriel look interested, but wholly unsurprised.

"Uh, yeah, that's right. Egg. Uh, everything, everything's explained in the letter," Chuck says quickly. "I've, uh, got to, got to go meet Becky. Yeah. See ya."

And with that, he disappears, leaving Dean taking deep breaths, Castiel attempting to calm him down, Gabriel still sucking on the lollipop and Sam holding a letter explaining that they are to be the proud parents of an angelic fledgling in 48 hours or less.

It's all a bit much, really.

Then Gabriel pops the candy out of his mouth and leans in. "So, who's shacking up with who and who gets to be the cool uncles?" he asks.

Dean faints.
