Thursday: Vacation

[badfalcon.livejournal.com]

We've reached Thursday, which means it's my last day as your host. I've had a blast and I hope you have too. We're going to finish the week off by going on vacation. All-inclusive 5-star resorts or dumps with cockroaches? Relaxing by the pool or sight-seeing?

Please just remember:

• 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.


• Take the monkeys into consideration when writing your prompt. If the prompt is too long, it becomes very hard to record it properly in the archive. Fics are also meant to be comment sized! If you get very inspired, that's ok, but long detailed prompts deserve long detailed stories, and that's not what we're about. Thank you!

And, as ever, the correct format for prompts is as follows
Criminal Minds, Rossi & Hotch, you do remember what a vacation is, don't you?
Quantum Leap/Chuck, Sam Beckett, family vacation with the Bartowskis

If today's round of h/c doesn't take your fancy, please remember there's always the Lonely Prompts

Highlander, Methos, sometimes he travels the world just looking for places that make him feel young

The constellations have changed since he was young.

Cassiopeia is missing the largest gem in her diadem, the rabbit that the hunter hold in his hand is missing it's eye and Libra has lost it's stacks of salt and gold. He could give other examples but they just make him feel old.

He remembers the rise of Greece, the fall of Pompei. he remebers being a servant in the house of the earliest recorded Chinese emperors.

He remembers the flood that covered the world and how his wife died in childbirth while they waited for the water to recede enough to get off the ark.

He likes the mountains and the oceans because they make him feel young. He can almost feel them watching him with ancient, amused eyes; thinking "look at this child, playing at being such a great age!"

He travels almost constantly, first because of people's fear and hatred that inevitably comes when he doesn't age. Then because they try to make him a god, after all a god cannot die can it?

He has killed many of his younger siblings who tried to make themselves gods and ended up as tyrants and terrors.

Now he travels because the cities that grow and dies so fast just make him sad.

So he hikes up mountains and sails around the world, looking for a place he feels truely young.
