FRIDAY - 140 Characters

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Hello all -  T.G.I.F. here at comment_fic! It's my last day guest hosting and I thought we'd wrap the work week up with something that's both short AND sweet. Today's prompts can once again be whatever category you want, but fills must all be a scant 140 Characters in length (aka the max length of a tweet on Twitter). So crack out your word/character counters of choice and get ready to start shaving your stories down to the bare minimum - even if you have to leave your readers guessing (or begging) for more.

Y'all have been a blast to host this week -  hope everyone has a great weekend!


Housekeeping 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, warn for them 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, David/Marco/Rachel, silence
• Rurouni Kenshin, Megumi/any, taste
• Supernatural, wee!Chesters, clean

If none of today's prompts are what you're looking for (or you're like me and have a hard time containing your thoughts to Tweet length) the lonely prompts are always open for business.

Animorphs, David/Marco/Rachel, silence

Didn't notice David in the prompt until it was written, Sorry! ;__;

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

It was hard not to crack jokes all the time. It was hard not to want to break the silence but one look at her face told Marco she needed it.

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Rurouni Kenshin, Megumi/any, taste

Fill (Sorry about stream-of-consciousness-ishness)

[enochia.livejournal.com]

Blue eyes are flaying her, the scars they leave in their wake tingling. She wakes from the opium dream and tastes self-disgust: it is acrid.

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, wee!Chesters, clean

[kim47.livejournal.com]

You get two fills! Because I read the prompt as "dean" the first time :D

*

"Dean."

Sam stares up at his brother, eyes wide.

John sighs.

"His first word isn't going to be Dean, Dean."

"Yes it will," Dean insists.

*

And now the actual prompt.

*

"C'mon Sammy."

"No!"

"Sam."

"I don't wanna."

"I don't care."

Sam just glares at him, so Dean picks him up and dumps him in the bathtub.

Will and Grace, any, annoy

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

They’ve been friends for years when he realizes that Jack’s many attempts to annoy him are nothing more than an elaborate form of foreplay.

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Any, any, turtle on a fence post

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

Glee, Dave Karofsky -

Each day feels like teetering on a tightrope, a breath away from slipping to one side or the other. The only question is where he’ll land.

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Historical RPF, Henry IV/Richard II, wars

[with-rainfall.livejournal.com]

SPN, Ruby/Lucifer, breath

fill

[rattyjol.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, when she's near her breaking point, she thinks she can feel his cold breath on the back of her neck, urging her on. She lives for it.

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Vampire Babylon - Chris Marie Green, The Dragon + Dawn, reasons why the head vampire shouldn't get twitter

[with-rainfall.livejournal.com]

Circle of Magic, Lark (+ Sandry), thoughtful

It has been a long time since I read these books. Beautiful stories though.

[vesca-viridian.livejournal.com]

When she first met Sandry, Lark wasn't sure the girl would understand the intricacies of cloth magic. It was a magic of creation; binding and weaving together hopes and thoughts and wishes from the creator into the thread and cloth. when she saw Sandry's face screwed up in concentration over her spindle, pulling magic into strands of cotton with single-minded concentration, she knew she wouldn't have to worry. Sandry understood cloth magic and used it like breathing, pulling together her surroundings and people into a tight weave, interconnected.

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

The Simpsons, Older!Bart/Sideshow Bob, growth

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

Stolen Women Captured Hearts, Anna Brewster-Morgan/Tokalah, smooth

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Discworld, Vetinari/Vimes, midnight

[icarus-chained.livejournal.com]

The bell tolled silences. In the city shadows, one stood watch against the darkness. And the second, better hidden, watched over the first.

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

The Demonata, Juni/Meera, hair

[with-rainfall.livejournal.com]

Animorphs, Jake + Tom, insider

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

It could have been so different. If Tom’s Yeerk had been like Tidwell’s, there would be no need for all these secrets and lies between them.

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Torchwood, any, hug

[garnet-words.livejournal.com]

pre-series Torchwood, post-Boom Town in Doctor Who

She catches him, just for a moment, looking more tired than she's ever seen him, and she knows it's more than the chaos of the rift opening.

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, short and sweet

A fill........

[iantojjackh.livejournal.com]

A gentle squeeze of the hand. A small reassuring smile. The world is crumbling around them. A quick peck on the lips and everything is okay.

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Thor, Loki, win

[icarus-chained.livejournal.com]

They told him winning doesn't count if you cheat. As far as Loki's concerned, they only say that because they can't cheat as well as he can.

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Any, any, at a loss

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

Glee, Kurt/Karofsky

He doesn’t have words to defend himself, as Kurt finally snaps and gets in his face, raging – so he stops thinking and just kisses him silent.
And then he’s more lost than ever.

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Any, any, weep

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

White Collar, Neal/Kate, Neal/Peter FS

He’d never let Peter see him break, see him cry – until the devastating moment when his life, his love, is consumed in flames before his eyes.

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

Chuck, Chuck/Bryce, "You're not his partner... You're his mark."

Fill: Chuck, Chuck/Bryce, "You're not his partner... You're his mark."

[(Anonymous)]

It's anonymous, a short untraceable email which he dismisses as spam:

Bryce is not the guy you think he is. Get out before he breaks your <3

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

Snow White and the Huntsman, Eric/Will/Snow White, Eric shows his Queen how to pleasure a man, using Will as a demonstration

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

Common Law, Wes/Travis, a moment of desperation

[kayim.livejournal.com]

Travis is lying there on the floor, not moving, blood pouring. Wes can't think, can't speak. All he can do is kiss his partner, and pray.

[nevcolleil.livejournal.com]

How I Met Your Mother, Ted/Barney, he always gets a 'yes'

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

Ted smiles as Barney makes his rounds, knowing in the end all it’ll take is a look to get what he wants – because when it comes to Barney, Ted’s the one who always gets the yes.

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, Steve/author’s choice (I prefer Bucky or Tony), soulmates are our destiny. they live when we live.

[kayim.livejournal.com]

Steve watches Bucky fall and heart shatters. But as Bucky's eyes lock onto his, something happens and they know they'll both survive.

[tigriswolf]

Merlin (BBC), Merlin/Arthur, you always knew

fill, Merlin POV

[rattyjol.livejournal.com]

He registers no surprise, when I finally tell him. "You knew," I accuse him. "All this time you knew."

"Of course I knew. Everyone knew."
