Monday : Kids, Youngsters, Offspring, Dependents, Adolescents, and Tots...

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Hello all -  I'm natural_blue_26 and I'll be guest hosting this week.

As it's the start of the week, let's start at the very beginning (as it's the very best place to start) with kid!fic today. Your favorite characters when they were children, accompanied by children, trapped babysitting, magicked back into children, watching children's television shows... It's all up to you.

Rules:

• No more than three prompts to a single fandom
• No more than five prompts at a time
• No spoilers in the prompts and if your fill has spoilers, please warn and and leave at least three spaces

Be kind to our friendly neighborhood code monkeys and always format your prompts like the following:

• Fandom, Character, Prompt
• Fandom, Character/Character, Prompt

Examples:

• Animorphs, wee!Rachel, playground knight in shining barrettes
• Firefly/Serenity, Wash/Zoe, he has an updated, rehearsed list of reasons they should throw caution to the wind and have a child now; he never gets a chance to give it to her
• Avengers, Tony/Pepper, he's still not sure how she roped him into this

If nothing here snags your interests, don't forget to check out the lonely prompts.

Sterling sigh as he cleans tiny finger prints off the equally tiny wore framed glasses before placing them back on an equally tiny Eliot Spencer. "Now, isnt it better when you can see out of your glasses? " Sterling asks the child.

"Yep. " Eliot replies before using sticky fingers to shove the glasses back into place when they start to slide, leaving a fresh set of finger printed lenses in their wake.

Sterling sighed and looked around the table. The worlds five greatest thieves all reduced to children, who were currently eating a lunch. No fancy restaurants, no five course meals from Eliot. Each child happily eating a Mcdonalds happy meal and playing with the toy surprise.

"Can we go play now?" Parker asked as she pointed to the jungle gym in the enclosed play area.

"Nate, you go with Parker, Eliot, and Alec. I'll stay with Sophie and while she finishs up."

The Eight year old nodded before standing." come on guys," he said allowing the three six year olds out of the booth.

" I want to go too." Sophie said pouting.already showing signs of being a grifter at seven.

"not until you finish your nuggets.". He pointed to the last chicken tender. Sighing Sophie
popped the chicken into her mouth, chewing quickly and racing to join her friends.

Sitting alone in the booth guarding the toys and watching the kids play he hoped his colleagues wouldn't see him. He'd chased all five if these tiny thieves over the years but its not like he could arrest them, they were all minors for heavens .


He may not be able to send them to jail.... But school started tomorrow and that was 40 hours a week of confinement he was more than ready to sentence them to.

40 hours a week?! Geez!

[deanangst.livejournal.com]

Yeah and just think of the poor kids that go to day care after school..

[poestheblackcat.livejournal.com]

I love it! Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for when I wrote that prompt. Except yours is much cuter. Wee!Eliot with glasses! I can't stand it - Too cute! Cutegasm!

And yes, your math is correct. School is generally 40 hours a week.

Hm, so where is Maggie in all of this?...Somehow, I'm thinking Maggie/Sterling, which is totally gross to me in any other context.

Maggie was relaxing on the couch with a nice glass of wine. She had finally managed to get the kids down for the night an hour ago. Sterling would be there at 7 to help get the brude fed and ready for school. She didn't think she could manage the five kids with out his help.

There were five backpacks lined up by the door, five lunchboxes sitting halfway packed on the kitchen counter. All she needed to do was drop in the sandwiches and juice boxes in the morning.

The living room was littered with toys, Barbie dolls, GI Joes and comic books. She had found Bunny rabbit earlier and taken the charished toy to Parker, knowing the little girl would be frightened if she woke up without it.

Just like with Parker and Bunny she was learning each child's needs. Sophie would rise from bed early just to have extra time with Magggie in the mornings. She loved for Maggie to brush her hair, and once a week Maggie allowed Sophie to wear a touch of one of her perfumes.

Nate..well he was still Nate just in a mini version. He loved herding the other kids, trying to keep things in order and running smoothly. It was the desperate look for approval that he gave her at times that broke her heart.

Hardison.. he just needed someone to listen as he told of his days adventures. The child was a chatterbox from the moment he woke to the time he fell asleep...and sometimes even while he slept.

Eliot was still the quiet one, she wasn't quite sure what he needed yet. It wasn't that he hadn't warmed up to her it was more that he was more concerned that the others had what they needed first. She flet she needed to try to spend some time with him but so far she hadn't been able to manage it.

Maggie's quiet thoughts were intrupted when she heard shuffling from the doorway. setting her glass down she started to turn toward the sound but was stopped when Eliot scrambled up onto the couch dragging his blanket along with him. The little boy never said a word as he lay down on the couch placing his head on Maggies lap. He simply grabbed her hand and placed it on his head before pulling the blanket tighter and closing his eyes. Maggie found herself gently carding her fingers thru the baby soft curles. Her heart ached as she watched the contented smile appear on the childs face. As easy as that she learned that all Eliot needed was a gentle touch and a reassuring pressance to be happy.

*sigh of contentment* Ahhhh, that's so good! Very much in character for all of them, and *squee*!! Eliot! Awwwwwwwwwww. So none of them remember being adults? That's good, especially for Parker, Nate, and Eliot. And when, pray tell, will Hardison discover COMPUTERS? What does Olivia think of her new siblings, and does wee!Nate make Maggie think of Sam?

Hehe, I'm being a totally greedy Miss Grabby-Hands, lol.

[deanangst.livejournal.com]

Squints at you..... Sigh... Let me do some thinking.......maybe I can come up with something more. I do love writing kid fic.... And I know you do too :)

How Old do you think Olivia is.....Do you want her jealous at first.. Then warming up.. Do ou ant Eliot to be the ice breaker?.. . I kinda see sterling and his daughter living in one place and Maggie living in another... Or do you want them all together????? Apartments or houses??

Hummmmmm maybe Parker and Sophie in one room. Eliot, Alec, and Nate in another room.
Alec is more Nintendo 3DS right now.Maggie wont trust him on a computer. ... Nate model airplanes.. And Eliot gi joes. Sophie dress up and barbies.. Parker bunny rabbit, barbies, and climbing on everything... Which I see her getting Eliot to do too. Elit and Parker are the little dare divils

Hey..I should be asking you to write me some Deaged Lindsey fic.. I think angel should have to care for a deaged Lindsey!,,,, like a 4.5 to 5 year old tiny little thing. All scared and big blue eyes. Maybe wolfram and hart cursed him after the ep blind date?.. And the powers that be make angel take him in. Nudge nudge.. Poke poke.. Cordelia would just think he's the sweetest thing and even Wesley would agree they can't let the evil firm get there hands on the boy. Lol Lindsey sitting in angels lap munching on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich..little milk mustash and Dropping some on angels leather coat. Lindsey having bad dreams and climbing into bed with angel.

Darn it! Okay, here goes.

I tried to get everything in, but I had to make a few changes. I hope you don't mind. It was to up the level of cuteness, anyway. Also, since I sort of recognized this prompt from one of yours that I bookmarked a while back, I just posted it under that prompt.

Link to your prompt & my fill:

Hm, Olivia. Maybe just have her the age she is now. Like, the de-aging takes place right after Season 4 or something. As for their living situation, it's up to you! I'll probably like whatever you write, lol!

[poestheblackcat.livejournal.com]

Ooh, just woke up and thought of something: Parker wouldn't be into playing Barbies, per se. She'd be more into decapitating them.:D Sophie, however, would love planning her Barbies' outfits and doing their hair. Maggie would play with her.

Eliot would keep trying to play Cowboys and Indians with Alec, who'd be interested only in playing Aliens (pshoo-pshoo). Nate, being the reasonable older kid, would then play both games (but he'd secretly like pretending to be the Sheriff in Eliot's game a lot better).

[deanangst.livejournal.com]

Cool!! I'll try to work on something tonight. It's like 3:20 and I'm just now taking lunch at work.. I'll have 15 minutes to work then I can go home. I love late lunches :)

I think Maggie will need a house.. That way the boys can be all flopped out on the year playing dead when Sherrif Nate shoots them. Oh maybe they can compromise and play firefly the western sci fi show. Lol.

Parker and Eliot can wage war with gi joes destroying the barbies :)

Sophie upset because they used ketchup for blood.

Did they say how old olivia was on the show... I'm guessing 13/14 ?...

[poestheblackcat.livejournal.com]

Did you read the one I wrote? I know I answered your comment twice, so I'm just making sure...

"all flopped out on the year" - What do you mean by that?

LOL, playing Firefly, that's awesome.

Olivia was probably more like 14 or 15-ish...I think...

[deanangst.livejournal.com]

All Flopped out in the yard... is my southern for laying in the grass playing dead. LOL

Ohh let me go look.. I was at work using my ipad I guess i missed it....

[poestheblackcat.livejournal.com]

Oohhh, okay. Typo. I was trying to figure out what that meant, lol.

Fill... I guess part 3

[deanangst.livejournal.com]

Maggie smiled at the sheer chaos of her backyard. The kid's were engaged in a wild mix of Eliot's love of Westerns and Alec's love of Science Fiction. She was a little shocked to learn there was actually a show they were basing it off of. The had even gotten Sterling and his daughter Olivia to play along. Mark was playing someone named Badger. Who has hired the crew to steal a priceless statue and return it to him.

The statue was a Barbie doll that had seen better days since it's bloody battle eatlier in the day. She haddent gottent he full story but there had been a crying Sophie, a bottle of ketchup, half a dozen GI Joes, and a very sorry looking Eliot and Parker.

Placing a bowl of chips and a jar of mayo on the picnic table Maggie sat down and watched the kids play. It had been hard at first, seeing Nate like this. Having that living breathing reminder of Sam but it had gotten easier as the months past. Now she could enjoy all the children without the overwhelming urge to runaway and cry.

Maggie tried to keep the childrens 'names' straight as they played. Alec was Wash, Eliot and Nate seemed to switch back and forth as to who was Malcom and who was Jayne.. she noticed Nate was Malcome more often than not. Alec said Parker was Kayle but Parker insisted that she was Parker and no one else. Sophie was Inra and even Olivia played along as Zoe.

"Maggie!" Sterling called out and waved the spatula at her. Clearly needing help as the Crew were all tyring to get him to come play. Maggie took over at the grill flipping hamburgers and turning hotdogs.

Throwing her head back maggie laughed when 'Badger" refused to pay out the bag of skittles he's offered for the return of the statue. Some how the kids managed to drag Sterling to the ground. Eliot had managed to land on top. Sterling was laughing as he allowed himself to be pinned and Parker stole the candy from his shirt pocket. As the children began to back away Sterling scrambled to his feet and managed to grab Eliot swinging the little boy around before hoisting him up onto his shoulders and preceeding to chase the other kids around the yard.

The squeels of laughter and calls to be next to ride on Sterlings shoulders had Maggie thinking about the question Mark had asked Earlier that day. Looking down on the ring on her finger she smiled. They were already a family.. The ring was just icing in the cake.

Re: Fill... I guess part 3

[poestheblackcat.livejournal.com]

*cackles* Badger! Now you've done it. You know what this means, don't you? Hardison makes the team play Supernatural, with Sterling as Crowley, of course!

Eliot is totally Jayne...speaking of which, did you see the premiere last night?!!!




*spoiler*









Cameo!








*END SPOILER*

Awww, Maggie/Sterling has never occurred to me as a likely pairing, but this story totally makes it work. (Okay, the Maggie thing -was- my idea, and you're probably like, "ew, but Poesie demanded it, so whatever") I love this verse! You simply must continue it. I demand more!
