comment_ficHappy Friday, everyone! Loosen the tie and kick off the heels. I'm still ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
argentum_ls, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the weekend. I'll bet our favorite grownup characters are too. Today's theme is grownup time.
For those fandoms normally centered around teens and kids, let's take today to give some love to the adults in their lives. Alternatively, let's see what those kids are like in a decade or two when they've had a chance to grow up a bit. For those fandoms that are already centered on the adults, let's take today to see what they're like out of the office, away from the boss (or the underlings, if they are the boss), and off the clock.
The 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
Format:
Fandom, Character, Prompt
Fandom, Character/Character, Prompt
Examples:
Teen Wolf, Coach Finstock, "Teachers don't live in the goddamn lockers."
The Listener, Toby+/Olivia, dancing
Any, Any+/Any, an expected night off
None of these prompts begging you to spend time with them? Check out the lonely prompts.
Happy weekend, and thanks for great week!

Date: 2012-07-27 11:56 am (UTC)Dark Knight Rises, John Blake, gen, PG
Date: 2012-07-27 08:13 pm (UTC)The home turns him out the day he turns eighteen (the day he’s pretty sure is his birthday, the day the system has listed, but Dad was drunk all the time, out gambling and losing every penny to his name, so John isn’t sure because they never celebrated anything).
John’s good with computers, good with math and logic, good with rules and guidelines. He can be charming. He’s efficient.
He finishes high-school by the skin of his teeth and gets a scholarship to college, and then he goes to the police academy.
He’s popular, once the stigma of being a foster kid is gone. His teachers love him. His classmates laugh at his jokes and invite him to every party.
He’s given a gun by the Gotham PD, and it’s not the first one he’s ever held. Not the first he’s ever fired. He looks down at it and remembers his father – remembers Bruce Wayne, seeing that mask, the mask he’s still wearing himself, and knowing.
Batman doesn’t like guns. Everyone’s figured that out, which makes the murders he supposedly committed a bit odder.
But. John looks down at the gun and wonders if this is what means to be grown.
He’s twenty-three years old.
(He’s still not sure when his birthday is.)

The bell over the door chimed, signaling, as was its purpose, that a potential customer had entered the antique shop. Lawrence Fletcher looked up from the display of clocks that he had been meticulously dusting, feather duster still in hand, to see a hunched man with a white lab coat shrugged over his shoulders hovering just inside the doorway, as if uncertain how to proceed. In his eyes glinted the light of a person with a purpose. Lawrence liked that glint; it most likely meant a sale, and, at the very least, meant there’d be a brilliant discussion about antiques.
“Can I help you?” Lawrence asked, stepping into the open and donning his best shopkeeper smile. Behind him, the clocks ticked, filling the room with pleasant syncopation.
The man looked briefly startled, as if unfamiliar with the question. His answer was spoken with a strong accent that, if Lawrence was correct, indicated a Drusselsteinian origin. Ah, we are but two men, so far from their homelands, he thought.
“I was just walking down the street, miiiinding my own business,” the man started, eyes darting around the space as if unable to believe everything there was to see. Lawrence had to concur: his store did hold an impressive and varied collection. “--when I happened to glance in the window of your establishment. My attention was immediately drawn to that device—“ He waved a hand toward the window display. As Lawrence walked toward it, he ran a mental inventory of what was in the window, preparing himself to answer questions.
“You see,” the man continued, “I am so tired of my plans always failing. They always fail.” The light in his eyes faded and he looked so crestfallen that Lawrence was afraid the man would burst into tears right there. Before Lawrence could offer any sympathy, the man perked up. “So I said to myself, self, it’s high time…”
