comment_ficHi! I’m brumeier, and this week we’re going to be filling prompt themes using 100 words or any multiple of 100. Today’s theme is AUs. Your prompts and fills can be any kind of Alternate Universe scenario – coffee shop, spies, mermaids...anything you can think of!
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, what happens when one main character is removed from your fandom?
+ Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard +/ Any, John joins the expedition as a civilian, not military
+ Any, Any, high school AU
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!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word!comment_fic

Fill: Prodigal Son, Malcolm Bright+Dani Powell+Gil Arroyo+JT Tarmel+Edrisa Tanaka (600 words)
Date: 2024-08-15 05:14 am (UTC)Dani did her best not to tap her foot impatiently while she waited in the transporter room. She bristled at the very idea that Captain Arroyo and his crew were insufficient to the task at hand, when their record spoke for itself.
“Coordinates locked,” Chief Trempo said briskly. “Energizing.”
Dani snapped to attention and plastered a pleasant expression on her face as the transporter platform initialized. Shimmering lights resolved into the person of the emissary Starfleet had sent to the Manhattan: Malcolm Bright.
He was younger than Dani had expected, dressed in a suit like he’d just come from a holodeck session set in the twenty-first century. His eyes were unexpectedly luminous.
“Mr. Bright. Commander Powell. Welcome aboard.” Dani didn’t miss the way his eyes moved around the room, taking it all in. “Allow me to show you to your quarters.”
“I’d like to meet with the team first, if you don’t mind.”
“Of course.”
Bright carried only one small case with him, and easily kept up with Dani’s brisk pace as they made for the turbolift. Dani contacted the bridge along the way, to alert the captain to the change of plans.
“Bridge,” Dani said once they were on the turbolift. “What is it you do, Mr. Bright? The information Starfleet sent over was a bit sketchy.”
“I’ll save my credentials for the moment, if you don’t mind.”
“Suit yourself.”
The lift doors slid open on the bridge, which Mr. Bright scanned avidly. It was as if he’d never been on a starship before, which seemed unlikely. Dani moved him along to the briefing room, where the rest of the team was waiting.
“Mr. Bright. Welcome.” Captain Arroyo shook his hand, and then made the final two introductions. “Lieutenant Tarmel. Dr. Tanaka.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet all of you.” Mr. Bright tucked his case under the table, but he didn’t sit down. Instead, he wandered around the room, looking at every little thing.
Dani exchanged an exasperated look with the captain. JT, as usual, didn’t bother trying to disguise his annoyance.
“What’s with this guy?”
Mr. Bright turned from the viewport, a grin on his face. “I’m glad you asked! Starfleet sent me here to help you apprehend Dr. Whitly. You won’t find anyone more knowledgeable of his case than I am, and I’m confident that we’ll be able to run him to ground if we work together.”
Edrisa leaned forward, elbows on the table. “I’d love to pick your brain about Dr. Whitly’s psychology. I find his case fascinating! I’ve been going through the case files, and I’m absolutely enthralled. It’s terrible, of course, but the precision, the planning… It’s just fascinating.”
“Maybe this would be a good time for those credentials,” Dani suggested.
“Good idea,” JT agreed. “What makes you such an expert?”
“Martin Whitly is my father.”
The captain and JT looked as shocked as Dani felt, but Edrisa looked excited. “Of course! Dr. Whitly had a son. You’re the one who turned him in to the authorities. That must be one heck of a story!”
“It is. Should we get started?”
Something told Dani things were about to get interesting.
