Tuesday's are Purple-y

[simplyn2deep]

Hello, everyone. I’m simplyn2deep and your host for the week. Today's theme is (the color) purple. Prompts can be anything related to the color purple (in all its shades as well). In fact, here's a list of some shades of purple.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ any, any + any, "their eyes are like light wisteria"
+ Teen Wolf, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, everyone describes the Spark's eyes as purple, but for Derek, they're sort of a sparkly Mulberry
+ Hawaii Five-0, Steve + any, "purple flowers?"..."actually, they're Amaranth flowers"

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2024 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately, things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why

(I think the prompt goes better with my mental state after seeing Deadpool & Wolverine than it does with what I wrote for it. Oops? XD;;; I held off on finishing and sharing this for over two weeks, because it's just... silly.)

(Spoiler warning: if you haven't seen the movie and don't want to know who these very-generically-named characters are, don't read this yet!)


"Hey-o."

"Ah, Jesus. The hell you doing here?"

"Well, I couldn't help but notice that you could use some he--"

"--I don't need help. Least of all from--Hey!"

"This looks pretty important. How the hell did it fall off?"

"The usual."

"What, Deadpools? Lokis? A stampede of super-powered animal versions of super-powered weirdos?"

"No, you dumbass. Rough terrain. Rocks. ...What super-powered animals have you run into here?"

"Oh, no, not me. I heard there was a kangaroo Wolverine a while back. Or was it a wallaby?"

"Probably a wallaby." / "Probably a wallaby."

"Jinx." / "Jinx."

"Damn it." / "You wish."

"Of course I wish... Now what are you doing?"

"Move over. I've got this."

"Back off."

"Aw, c'mon. You see that? And this? Just need a little bit of welding."

"By you? Fuck no."

"It'll work! Trust me."

"Ha."

"I've done it before! If you're so worried I'll screw it up, then you can... You know."

"I can what? You're gonna have to use your words."

"You can stop me."

"Like I need your permission to do that."

"Argh, you know what I mean!"

"No, I don't."

"You can, y'know, take over! Like, take control, or whatever it is you do."

"...Are you screwing with me? Is the pseudo-weather messing with your brain?"

"You wanna fix it or not? Or are you hoping to hitch a ride?"

"Gross."

"Not with me. Although..."

"Yeah, your brain is definitely fried, and you want me to trust you to weld."

"For fuck's sake, I want you to let me fix something, anything, even this... nostalgic relic of a bygone era."

"So you're just bored? This isn't you trying to be heroic or some shit?"

"This is me helping myself, and I'm so beyond bored. There isn't a word for what I am. None of 'em describe me: stir-crazy, cabin fever, climbing the walls, an inch away from--"

"--Okay, okay, I get it! ...Fine. Flame up or whatever."

"Yes! ...So..."

"Jesus, no small talk, either. Focus your ADHD and then leave me alone."

"What if I don't wanna leave you alone?"

"Are you looking to die, because I sure as hell am not entertainment."

"Yeah, no, it's more like you come with the car. I wanna hang around this car."

"No."

"But it's so shiny."

"Best I can do is let you hang behind this car. You finished yet?"

"Almost... There. Give it a sec to cool."

"Might wanna move, Matchstick."

"It's Torch, and you--ugh, that felt so wrong!"

"You're right. Candlestick fits better."

"Jeez... Think it'll run?"

"Only one way to find out."

"Can I--"

"--No."

"You really are no fun for an arsonist."

"...See any smoke?"

"Nope. You?"

"No. It sounds fine, too. For now. ...Thanks."

"Was that a--"

"--Just to be clear, if you ever think about stealing my ride, remember: I'll probably either kill the engine or explode it."

"You'd really blow this beauty up?"

"Scorching my second favorite car, to get rid of you? Sure."

"Well, shit. Duly noted."

I'll admit I don't know who John is (Johnny I got!) but I really love the banter here! It's so fun and irreverent! Thank you so much!

Re: Roadside Assistance, John + Johnny (Deadpool/X-Men/Marvel [MCU])

[creepy_shetan]

Oh good, I'm glad you enjoyed it, despite missing some info. 6^^;;
John is Pyro, from X-Men. In D&W, he's got a black hot rod with flames painted on it. This could be that car, or a secondary one. Reader's choice. >:P
I couldn't resist writing about the flying fire guy and the pyrokinesis guy getting on each other's nerves, haha.

You did a great job with it!!
