comment_ficToday's prompts is articles of clothing. Maybe you have a character who always wears the same thing, and another character is sick of it. Maybe you have someone known for their sedate style of dress, and one day they show up in a wacky Hawaiian shirt and board shorts. Maybe one character wears a certain thing for sentimental reasons. Whatever your idea, it has to do with clothing.
The rules:
-No more than five prompts in a row
-No more than three prompts per fandom
-If your prompts get answered, feel free to post more
-No spoilers in your prompt for at least a week after publication/air date
-If there are spoilers in your fic response, please warn and leave adequate space following the warning to let folks give it a pass.
Please take mercy on our hard working code monkeys and format your prompts properly (and try not to make them overly long).
For example:
-Stargate Atlantis, Lorne/Parrish, Lorne really likes the lab coat
-Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, "Can you please wear something professional, just this once?"
-Sanctuary, Tesla, three-piece suit
Tag=clothing
Have fun!

Date: 2011-10-18 04:49 am (UTC)Time Crash 2: Bowties Are Forever Cool (Two/Eleven, G)
Date: 2011-10-23 04:02 am (UTC)"This looks familiar," the Eleventh Doctor said as he wandered into his old control room. He saw the Second Doctor standing in the control room.
"Hello," the Eleventh Doctor said.
"Who are you?"
"I'm you, but older and a lot of regenerations later. Or do you still call it 'rejuvenation'?"
"Really?"
The Eleventh Doctor pulled out his psychic paper. It showed the Second Doctor his future regenerations. "Really."
"Oh no! You're too young!"
"Oi, what's wrong with looking young?"
"I need to remember not to rejuvenate into your rejuvenation."
"Don't bother. You're going to forget about me once this whole thing is straightened out. Just curious, but who else is with you right now, other than Jamie? Polly and Ben? Zoe? Victoria?"
"Who cares? How do I get myself back into the time you came from?"
"Don't worry, Doctor. I've done this before." The Eleventh Doctor looked at the TARDIS console. "I've done this on a slightly different console, but I think I should be able to twiddle the knobs enough to put up the TARDIS shields."
The Eleventh Doctor put the shields up on the Second Doctor's TARDIS. The Eleventh Doctor was all set to walk back to his TARDIS when the Second Doctor grabbed his arm.
"You're wearing a bow tie."
"Yes, I'm wearing a bow tie. Bowties are cool."
"Of course it's cool. Who taught you such good taste in clothes?"
"You did. I used to walk around in this pinstriped suit with sneakers and a long coat. When I regenerated, I thought it'd be cool to look more like you as opposed to wearing more pinstriped suits with sneakers and long coats."
"I'm honored. More of my incarnations should be more like me."
"The only thing I'm missing is a recorder. You know, one of my regenerations threw out my recorder I had from this incarnation."
"He what?"
"It's a long story. I was wondering, do you have an extra recorder? I want to put it in the drawing room, where Amy can see it and be impressed when I tell her I can play the recorder."
"Of course. Anything to remedy which one of us threw away our recorder."
The Second Doctor pulled out a recorder from his coat. He handed it to the Eleventh Doctor and picked up his own recorder.
"I've got to go or we'll cause a hole as big as Belgium in the fabric of space and time. Cheers, Doctor," the Eleventh Doctor said as he was leaving for his TARDIS.
"Wait! Before you go, we have to play a song together. What songs do we both know? 'It's My Party?' 'A Hard Day's Night?' 'Danny Boy?'"
"I like 'Danny Boy.' 'Danny Boy' is cool."
The Second and Eleventh Doctors played the first verse of "Danny Boy" together. As they both played the second verse, the Eleventh Doctor went back to his TARDIS, leaving the Second Doctor alone in his console room again, playing "Danny Boy" alone. By the time he was done he had forgotten his older self was in his TARDIS.
"What should I play next? 'A Hard Day's Night!'"
The Second Doctor started playing the intro to "A Hard Day's Night'" on his recorder.

Date: 2011-10-18 08:38 pm (UTC)"Sure. What should I wear?"
"Umm ... clothes?"
"You're a big help," John says. "My wardrobe choices are somewhat limited. Most of my things are in transit on the Daedalus."
Cam tries to think if he's ever seen John in anything but BDUs. "Jeans, shirt ... You know."
"Tie?" John looks pained at the thought.
"No tie. Meet me at 19:30 at Mackenzie's?"
"Sure. See you later."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Cam is at the bar early. He's wearing blue jeans, a dark blue shirt, a black leather jacket. He looks presentable; not much different than he usually looks, just cleaned up and not in uniform.
He's on his first Guinness when the crowd at the bar seems to part to make way for somebody. John, in his BDUs looks thin, unassuming. This man walking towards him moves gracefully. He's wearing perfectly fitted jeans, a white shirt under a sky blue sweater, and a gray, black and blue tweed sportcoat. He looks lickable., and Cam is pretty sure that most of the women, and some of the men, are drooling, John doesn't seem to notice. His eyes are fixed on Cam, and he's smiling. Suddenly, it doesn't matter what he's wearing.
"You clean up good, Sheppard," Cam manages to say. He gestures to the bartender. "Guinness?"
"Sounds good." He picks up his glass. "So ..." he looks at Cam, his color a bit high, his eyes bright. "To first dates?"
Cam swallows hard. "Date?" He can feel himself blushing.
"If this isn't a date, I'm going to change back into my BDUs and eat in the mess."
"Date works for me," Cam says. He picks up his beer. "To civvies and first dates."
"To us." The clink of the rims sounds like bells.

"Authenticity?"
"Our latest suspect referred to me as a meddlesome private investigator, so I decided I needed to look the part."
Cho rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He poured himself a cup of coffee and walked out of the room.
Jane watched him. "What did I say?"
"Probably something incomprehensible," Lisbon said as she walked into the room. "Now, ditch the hat and come with me. We have another witness to interview."
Jane quickly got up, tossed the hat on the couch and followed Lisbon from the room.

Date: 2011-10-18 04:56 am (UTC)Clown Car (Eleven + Amy, PG)
Date: 2011-10-19 05:31 am (UTC)"My God, Doctor. What did you do, skin a clown?"
"Of course I didn't. I don't skin clowns, except for that time on Circad IV and he wasn't a very nice clown but I only took a little-- oh, you meant the coat. I happened to like that coat quite a lot, thank you."
"Is that how they fit all those clowns in a car? You make it bigger on the inside and then steal their clothes?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Pond. I've only ever made one car bigger on the inside and that was for a very nice man, not a clown at all, goes by the name of Arthur. Ginger, very tall, big family. I tried to take them to Scarletsville once, tiny little town in the thirty-third century, all ginger, very red, you should visit sometime. His wife wouldn't let them go so I had to make do with fixing up his car instead. It was a flying car, have I mentioned that? No, I don't think I have. It was a flying car. Now I have."
"Doctor?"
"Yes, Pond."
"I'm burning the coat."

Date: 2011-11-03 02:17 am (UTC)There's an art to being underestimated. John learned that at school. Wear innocuous clothing and no one expects you to knock them down with one punch, or beat them so viciously they won't walk for months.
John knows that he’s not a large man. But he’s quick, and he’s sure, and he’s really good with a gun. Really good without a gun, too, but to look at him – you’d never know it.
And the clothing he chooses to wear is a large part of that. Death in a fuzzy jumper… well. He tags along beside Sherlock, always on guard, and eyes pass right by him. He does so love being underestimated.
