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):

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

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.
Fill: An Ocean Between (G)
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."

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 07:55 am (UTC)My favorite line was this:
the orange juice in front of him is Sunny D
because ahahaha, I have been there, and that's a terrible surprise.
Thanks dear :D
