Wednesday - Geeks

[carinascott.livejournal.com]

Happy Wednesday everyone! I, carinascott , am back once again with another theme for your muses to go crazy with. Geeks. They come in all shapes and sizes, with their own adorable or annoying quirks. Today is your day to go crazy and come up with some wonderful prompts in dedication to the Geeks we love, and sometimes love to hate.

Here's a quick reminder of the rules:
- Only 3 prompts in one fandom.
- Only 5 prompts in a row (but if one of your prompts is filled, feel free to prompt again)
- No spoilers in your prompts for at least a week after the airdate/release.
- Warn for any spoilers in your fic using BOLD text and leave at least three spaces before the text.

And to keep our codemonkeys sane and happy, please remember:
- Prompts and the inspired fics are to be comment sized. If the prompt is too long, it's hard to record properly in the archive. Also, long and detailed prompts usually lead to long and detailed fics. If you get inspired to write something longer, that's ok, please just post a snippet in response to the prompt and a link to where we can find the rest of the fic.

- Adhere to the proper prompt formatting. For example:
Leverage, Eliot/Hardison, bullies

Hawaii Five-O, Chin/Danny, Danny can't help but wonder why the geek in his high school never looked like this.

Criminal Minds, Penelope Garcia/Kevin Lynch, geeks need love too.

However, if none of the prompts you see today strike your fancy, hop on over to take a look at the Lonely Prompts and see if anything there catches your eye.

Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, AU - another dull day at the office, that's what Dean had been expecting. And it was sadly accurate... right up until their entire system crashed & the really hot techie showed up.

[FLAILS]

I MIGHT WRITE THIS.

BUT I ALSO HIGHLY ENCOURAGE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO TO WRITE THIS AS WELL.

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, it's completely geeky but he doesn't even care - he's gonna prove to Steve that he CAN get to Triple Banana

!

[somehowunbroken]

I have no idea what fic to write for this, but I have definite heart eyes for you for thinking of it. :D ♥__♥

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Leverage, Eliot/Hardison, Eliot thinks there might be something to this techno-babble crap after all when he says something in geek-speak & Hardison's pupils immediately dilate

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Merlin, Arthur/Merlin + any, modern AU, playing Dungeons & Dragons

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, he'd assumed Steve's cinematic tastes would be a lot more Die Hard & a lot less Star Trek, but... here they are, watching the 2009 reboot (& it looks like Steve's totally rooting for Kirk/Spock)

[samueljames]

Criminal Minds, Garcia/Kevin, he can't believe how lucky he is to be with such an intelligent and gorgeous woman.

[obsessed-psyco.livejournal.com]

Stargate SG-1, Sam/Jack, He always had a thing for geeks...

[obsessed-psyco.livejournal.com]

Stargate SG-1, Daniel, Sometimes, being a geek payed off.

Supernatural, Bobby +/ any, "Where do you buy your books?"

Pre-emptive salvage

[icarus-chained.livejournal.com]

[If you don't mind a Good Omens crossover ...?]

Bobby blinked into the sudden, abrupt silence. Stared at the faint touch of pink that appeared in the angel's cheeks, the broad, wicked grin that crept across the demon's features. And blinked in confusion.

It had seemed an innocent enough question when he asked it. The angel had a library like none Bobby'd ever seen. It hadn't been that much of a stretch to ask where it had come from.

"Ah," Aziraphale said, still flushing. "Perhaps 'buy' is ... not the right word, really. That is ... 'salvage' might be better. Or perhaps 'acquire' ..."

"Or perhaps 'appropriate'," Crowley cut in, grinning ear to ear, ignoring the deadly look the angel shot him. "'Borrow without intent to return'. 'Steal', even?"

"Don't be ridiculous!" the angel shot back hotly. "I have never in my life stolen a book!"

"Really," Crowley drawled, looking over to wink at Bobby, who stared at him. "What about that Black Bible you took from that cult in the 16th century?"

"Confiscation," the angel answered immediately. "Far too dangerous a thing to leave in those poor children's hands. It was entirely for their own safety."

"Uh huh. And the Ionan manuscripts?"

"Pre-emptive salvage," came the prompt answer. "Vikings are terrible about destroying books. I could hardly leave them there, knowing that longship was on the way!"

"I'm sure. Oscar Wilde?"

"A gift from a dear friend."

"Anathema?"

"The poor dear dropped it, and I was somewhat distracted at the time ..."

"Alexandria?"

"The place was on fire. I'm sure they would have been glad to know something survived ..."

"Those folios from the Vatican?"

"Dear, you stole those, remember?"

"Huh. Yeah. Okay, but what about ..."

"Alright!" Bobby cut in, before it devolved any further into what looked like a longstanding argument, resisting the itch in his hands and sudden urge to peek into his own library, make sure nothing had been 'salvaged', maybe. The pair of them blinked owlishly over at him, as if they'd forgotten he was there entirely, and Bobby felt his face settle into the kind of glare that previously only Winchesters could bring out. "Can we just go with the simple answer, over here, and say you've never actually bought a book in your life?"

Which was perhaps mildly hypocritical of him, but it made the angel flush to his ears, and Bobby was beginning to think that hanging around the Crowley for an extended period of time was starting to have an effect on him ...

"I have if the situation required it," Aziraphale said stiffly. And let a small smile creep sheepishly across his face. "It's just that, when you're an angel, such situations don't come up very often ..."

Bobby barked a laugh. "Amen to that," he said, and then stabbed a finger in the angel's direction. And the demon too, for good measure. "But if I ever find out anything of mine was 'pre-emptively salvaged', I've got a shotgun shell with your name on it! Understand?"

Aziraphale grinned, and spread his hands as innocently as an angel could. "I wouldn't dream of it," he said, and Bobby wondered if it was just hanging around with Crowley that made him think there was something far too smug about his tone.

Ah well. Angels. What could you do?

Chuck, Chuck/Bryce, college fic with mentions of them learning Klingon or designing their own game and being really happy to have found someone who gets all each others' references and finds the geekiness to be a turn-on rather than a turn-off.

Supernatural, Castiel, designing Devil's Traps and other wards

filled on my phone, sorry for block text.

[truthwritaslies.livejournal.com]

Every angel had a basic working knowledge of Devil's Traps and other wards but Castiel had seemed to take to them like a fish to water. When he wasn't training he was pouring over the library for more variations and experimenting with new ones. Gabriel would often tease him about how he hardly ever had time for his brothers with all his research and Lucifer would laugh and ruffle Castiel's wings. Others would tease him, brothers he liked less well but he had a burning need to know everything about them. Somewhere deep inside he had a feeling he was going to need them, regardless of the fact that Father had yet to create some of the creatures mentioned in the books. Like Devils, Demons or Nephilem. He just knew it would be important and so he ignored it when his brothers called him a geek.
