Tuesday: 42 Words!

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

Greetings! I apologize for my absence yesterday, and I bring a prompt for today. It will be, quite simply: 42 words. Write stories that have exactly 42 words in them. I think we can manage that. :)

Here's your reminder about the rules:

> Post no more than five prompts in a row, and don't post more than three prompts for a single fandom. If someone fills a prompt of yours, you can then prompt again.
> There's to be no spoilers in prompts until a week from air/publication dates.
> If your fill contains spoilers, then please label it clearly and leave enough spaces for people to scroll on by.

Finally, please format your prompts like so, for our beloved code monkeys.

Examples:
> Supernatural, Gabriel/any, sacrifices to a pagan god
> Jeeves & Wooster, Jeeves/Bertie, personal service
> A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Control/Tony Murchison, a late cup of coffee

Please enjoy yourselves!

Supernatural, Gabriel/any, sacrifices to a pagan god

FILL: Supernatural, Gabriel/Kali, sacrifices to a pagan god

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

She dances, her limbs a whirlwind of movement, her face crazed with delight, her tongue long and red. And yet, despite that bloodlust—or maybe because of it—he’s attracted to her.

So he lays himself down before her, and waits.

❧
This came out to exactly 42 words, and I just wrote it out in one go. CLEARLY MEANT TO BE. References the iconography of Shiva in relation to Kali (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali#Shiva_in_Kali_iconography), if it was unclear. :)

Jeeves & Wooster, Jeeves/Bertie, personal service

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Control/Tony Murchison, a late cup of coffee

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, bedtime story

FILL: Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, bedtime story

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

All the bedtime stories end with the guy getting the girl, but his story ends with the guy getting another guy, except he’s not really a guy; he’s an angel in a trench coat.

And he’s okay with that.

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, vulnerabilities

Fill : Together

[peaceful-sands.livejournal.com]

It has taken time to get to know one another, but they are more or less there now. They know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. They can be stronger together and know that when they’re in need, the other will still be there to pick up the pieces.

Supernatural, Dean/Dr. Sexy MD, practice

[dulcinea]

When Dr. Sexy—well, the actor, but Dean prefers Dr. Sexy to Grant—tips his head and smiles, asks him to run lines, Dean almost throws up and says no. But he says yes, of course. Because he is a great PA.

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Sam/Ruby, trust

[mangacrack.livejournal.com]

It's wrong to trust Sam. Sam is a hunter and a Winchester.

Winchester are dangerous and Sam's eyes shine with something Ruby has lost so long ago.

It could be power.

She wants it, no matter if it will get her killed.

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Merlin, Arthur/Merlin, wedding vows

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

"I, Arthur, take you, Merlin --"

"Don't say Merlin, say Gwen's name!"

"I, Arthur, take you, Gwen's name --"

"Never mind."

"To be my annoying, annoying manservant who is making faces at me when I'm trying to practice my wedding vows..."

"Hopeless."

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

Boondock Saints, Connor +/ Murphy, storm

FILL - Such Sweet Thunder

[colonel-bastard.livejournal.com]

Connor’s kisses fall like rain, his hands like lightning. He sweeps over his brother like a summer storm, hot and swift and unexpected, while Murph grabs hold and laughs the wild, wicked laugh of a man who fears no force of nature.

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

Sherlock (BBC), John +/ Sherlock, war

Fill

[truthwritaslies.livejournal.com]

Sherlock had once more failed to label his experiment containers.

Instead of some lovely leftover Chinese John had been greeted by the smell of decomposing rat upon opening a container exactly like four others.

John has had quite enough.

This means war.

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Merlin, Arthur/Tree, love poem

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who, Eleven/any, surprise nudity

FILL: Doctor Who, Eleven/River Song, surprise nudity

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

He’s lucky the only thing he lost during that last run-in with the Daleks were his clothes, obliterated in a collateral blast.

River’s eyes travel over him, no patch of skin unseen. Her lips curl into a smirk.

“Hello, sweetie.”

❧
Wrote this for your deleted prompt, but it still fits. XP

[sycophantastic.livejournal.com]

Sherlock (BBC), John/Sherlock, finger food

FILL: Sherlock (BBC), John/Sherlock, finger food

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

“Having pastries again, are we?” Sherlock says, and John nearly jumps.

“How did you know?”

“Bit of cream on your face,” Sherlock murmurs, swiping his thumb across John’s nose, his eyes on John as he sucks the cream off his finger.

❧
Ambiguous pronouns galore! \o/ I intended it to be all the pronouns in the last bit to refer to Sherlock, but interpret however you want. ;D

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, John/Gabriel, running away

[ravenspear.livejournal.com]

Gabriel runs. That's who he is, who he has been since the day God told him to kill his brothers' children.

He's a coward. He doesn't fight.

That's why he won't stay with John now, why he won't try to save him.

[ladyjane]

Criminal Minds, Penelope, TLC (Tender Loving Care)

Penelope Nightingale

[samueljames]

He'll be fine, the doctors said so. He's said so and insisted on going home. He may not need her but she needs to be sure he's really okay.

Derek smiles when she offers to be his private nurse. "Thanks baby girl."

[mangacrack.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Sam/Gabriel, faith

[love-evil.livejournal.com]

“Have faith,” Sam says.

“How can I after everything that’s happened?” Gabriel asks ruefully.

“It all worked out in the end didn’t it?”

“I suppose so.”

They kiss, and for the first time in centuries Gabriel believes in his Father’s grand plan.

[ladyjane]

any, any, homesick

Supernatural, Dean.

[ravenspear.livejournal.com]

Somtimes when he holds a knife, he'll feel homesick.

He'll miss the way ghost-lights reflect on impossible metal, how dried blood binds the knife-handle to his hand, and he'll miss Alastair whispering praise in his ear.

He'll miss it, and hate himself.

[mangacrack.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, any/any, Through the gates of hell / As we make our way to heaven

[(Anonymous)]

Boondock Saints/SPN, Any, MacManus brothers vs. Winchester brothers

FILL: Boondock Saints/SPN, Any, MacManus brothers vs. Winchester brothers

[xenoamorist.livejournal.com]

“Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus—”

“Your Latin sucks, mate,” the blond one said, his eyes twinkling, and the dark-haired one came up beside him.

“Fuckin’ sucks.” He grinned and glanced at his brother. “Want us to show you how it’s done?”

[mangacrack.livejournal.com]

Angel Sanctuary, Alexiel /& Lucifer, our younger silbings

[mangacrack.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Michael/Lucifer, dance with me tonight

[weesta.livejournal.com]

He's been given an order by Father, but for now Michael's the only one who knows. He seeks out his youngest brother and says, “Dance with me tonight.” Lucifer laughs and rushes into his arms having no idea what will come tomorrow.

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon, sanity

[weesta.livejournal.com]

The axiom says that measure of IN-sanity is the repetition of an action expecting an alternate outcome. Being that no measurable variables have changed, an attempt at coital relationship with Penny would demonstrate a definite lack of sanity, wouldn’t you say Leonard?

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

Phineas and Ferb, Jeremy, guitar guy

[radondoran.livejournal.com]

They say guys in bands are chick magnets, but Jeremy can't see it that way. He doesn't play the guitar to impress girls--he loves music.

Candace, his favorite duet partner, understands that. Why would he worry about what other girls think?

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

Fruits Basket, Shigure/Hatori/Ayame, remembering

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Arthur/Trillion, lovesick
