comment_ficWelcome back! I'm still ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rockerbaby423 and together we’ve made it through another Monday. Hopefully the sun is shining wherever you are as we get rolling on day two.
Is there anything more bittersweet than a sad song? Whether it’s the feel of the melody, or the tragedy in the lyrics, today we will take our inspiration from the songs that make us a little weepy.
Have fun and remember to follow the rules:
Feed the overworked codemonkeys correctly formatted prompts (and not overly long, don't write the story for them, inspire them):

Whether it’s the feel of the melody, or the tragedy in the lyrics, today we will take our inspiration from the songs that make us a little weepy.
Have fun and remember to follow the rules:
- No more than three prompts per fandom, and no more than five total. If one of your prompts is filled, you may post another.
- No spoilers for new shows/seasons until at least one week after airing.
- If your fill contains spoilers, please warn for it and leave enough space for people to pass by.
- Feel free to fill a prompt even if it is already filled, the more fic the merrier!
Feed the overworked codemonkeys correctly formatted prompts (and not overly long, don't write the story for them, inspire them):
- Leverage, Eliot/Parker, who you are is not what you've done
- Veronica Mars, Veronica/Logan, and you’re never coming home again.
- Vampire Diaries, Damon/Elena, nothing compares to you
Nothing catch your eye? Why not take a stroll through our Lonely Prompts

Date: 2011-05-17 10:52 am (UTC)A child too old for the need of a mother, and yet too young or too damaged for the world of men. He exists instead in the middle, where there is freedom but not yet consequence.
He can never go home now, never return to that house full of pain and loss, and even if he could he is no longer the person who fits there. No longer the broken boy who tore at others to see if they bled as he did, who hid his scars beneath a cloak of arrogance and cruelty and bore it down into the dirt.
It is not just pain that has drawn him away, because alone the pain would have never been shed, it would have festered until it settled deep within his bones and soured all he saw. She did not try to save him, she was too broken herself, selfish and frightened, but she had one bright ember in her where he had only ashes and it was enough to stir them back into life.
He touches her with a reverence she does not deserve, she is no angel, no perfect human being but she is less stained than he and he touches her as he fears it will rub onto her.
His hands glide softly over her nipples and down her sides, too softly as she twists against the tickle.
He puts his fingers on her, inside her, touching the slickness of her and the heat. He craves her heat as she shakes apart, it lights him, warms him and sometimes is the only thing that keeps him above water.

Date: 2011-07-11 02:28 pm (UTC)Christian sat there, his head in his hands, knowing that this was possibly the most unselfish thing that he had ever done in his life. It didn’t make it hurt any less, it probably made it hurt more but he knew he had to stay strong. He wanted to run after Steve, pull him into his arms and tell him everything that he had felt about him over the last 12 years but instead he simply stayed where he was.
He didn’t do relationships, couldn’t put Steve through all the shit that came with him being Christian “fucking” Kane, couldn’t risk that he would lose his soul mate further down the line because he couldn’t give him what he wanted now, because commitment scared him.
The kiss had been a mistake, he knew that as soon as he saw the hope burning bright in Steves eyes, so he’d laughed it off, blamed it on the Jack and watched as that hope was extinguished.
One day, maybe, when he wasn’t so fucked up perhaps he’d tell him, pray that Steve still felt the same but, until then...
He looked up then to see Steve getting into his car, briefly looking back before slamming the door and driving off. He sighed and, with emotion cracking his voice, whispered “I love you too Stevie, always will”

Date: 2011-05-17 07:46 am (UTC)Steve looks up, frozen. Danny tosses that out casually, over terribly cooked eggs and extra-crunchy bacon. "You what?"
"It's not working," Danny says. "You're sad, Steven, and it's not just part of the time, it's all of the time. Even your pants are sad."
"My pants?" Steve repeats. "What?" He's still stuck on I think we should break up.
"Remember when we first got together?" Danny asks. "Didn't you want more than this?" He gestures between them as though there's an ocean and not a table.
Steve blinks. "I got more."
"What happened to our dreams?"
The only dreams Steve has include Danny, Grace, and Mary. Sometimes his dad, but mostly not.
In his dreams, he wakes up next to Danny every morning, and goes to bed with him every night. He gets to see Danny laugh and he plays jump rope with Grace. He gets to tell Danny he loves him and when Danny says it back, it's as though Steve's whole world is complete.
"I don't--what dreams?" Steve asks, confused.
Danny shrugs. "Moonlight walks somewhere without sand. The skyscrapers of Jersey. Pizza without pineapple."
"You want to leave Hawaii?" Steve feels lost in this conversation. He thinks this is at least a waffles worthy discussion, not just terrible eggs and crispy bacon.
"When I leave will you remember me?" Danny asks. He reaches for his coffee and drinks it down as though Steve's world isn't ending.
Steve feels his heart clench and everything around him begins to fall apart. He realizes that the eggs are worse than terrible, and that the bacon is burnt, and that the orange juice in front of him is Sunny D. "Danny, what--?"
He jolts awake, sitting up. His heart is pounding and it's instinct to reach out beside him and touch Danny's sleeping form. Danny shifts in his sleep and looks up at Steve with tired eyes. "What's up, babe?"
Steve swallows. "Danny, I..."
"Steve?" Danny asks, sounding more awake than he did a moment ago.
"Marry me," Steve blurts out.
"Did you really just ask me to marry you at two in the morning?" Danny asks. "While I'm in my pajamas?"
Steve's heart keeps racing, because maybe dream Danny was just saying everything that this Danny doesn't. "I want everything we used to be, to be who we are now."
"Huh?"
"I love you, Danny."
Danny smiles and the skin by his eyes crinkles a little. "I love you, too. Now, go back to bed, and I'll make waffles in the morning--which you will eat--and you can ask me again, while I'm actually dressed in something with less holes than Swiss cheese."
"Waffles?" Steve asks.
Danny rolls his eyes. "Fine, chocolate chip waffles. Now will you go back to sleep?"
Steve lays back down and wraps himself around Danny. "I'll remember you, Danny. Forever."
Danny snorts softly. "You better."

I wanna get in - you won't let me
Heaven is wrapped in chains
And I just cannot find the key

they fall like rocks from the sky
they fly as dark birds through the world
they come down as a black shadow that torment us
and revenge themselves upon
men that have fallen like them.

The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til then to give up this fight)

Date: 2011-05-17 09:25 am (UTC)"You say it’s hard to love a man like me
But baby, now and then
You do your fair share so easily
You push me to my limit and back again
Just when I can’t take anymore
And I’ve made up my mind
I say I’m ready to walk out the door . . ."
