Tisdag: Dictionary Definitions

[ravenspear.livejournal.com]

Hello again! This is ravenspear, still being your guest host

Today is Tuesday, and we're revisiting one of my favorite themes: Dictionary Definitions! Your prompt should be the definition of a word, lifted from whatever dictionary you fancy (dictionary.com is good for those who don't have dead tree versions lying around).

The rules are simple:
♥ No more than five "live" prompts at any time. If one of your prompts are filled, then you can prompt again.
♥ In the name of variety, no more than three prompts per fandom.
♥ No spoilers in your prompt until a week after air/publication date, and if your fill contains spoilers you must mark clearly (bold, bright red, whatever is noticable) and leave at least three spaces so people can scroll by.

Prompts should be formatted in the way that is most pleasing to our beloved codemonkey overlords.

Examples:

Avengers; Loki; vicious, wanton, or mischievous in motivation or purpose.
Leverage; Parker/Hardison/Eliot; any blemish remaining as a trace of or resulting from injury or use.
Firefly/Battlestar Galactica; River/Leoben; to contain a fire.

And if you don't find any prompts to your liking, maybe you can find something in the Lonely Prompt Archives?

Harry Potter, Ron/Pansy, a woman with the morals of a man

(TW: harrassment, dub-con) One for Sorrow

[hobnailedboots.livejournal.com]

People are magpies. People are covetous, beady-eyed brats whose fancy is caught by the shiniest thing they see. Unlike most women, Pansy is not afraid to admit to the world that she wants. More importantly, Pansy is not afraid to take.

Ron is drunk, and sloppy, but when she sits on his lap he pushes her away.

"Geroff, Pan."

"Don't call me that," says Pansy, but she doesn't budge.

Rom has called her that ever since he judged her "alright, really, for a Slytherin" - as though she needed his approval to work alongside him in the Ministry. Mione, Pan, Gin--Ron has a habit of giving women nicknames, like he's marking territory.

"Go on, move," he says. "What if people--"

"No," says Pansy. Ron's eyes flick to hers, and widen at whatever they see there. At school everyone was scared of Slytherins, as a group; individually, Vincent's monolithic figure and Draco's near-deadly spellwork intimidated their classmates. Even so, Pansy knows that this moment, right here in a dingy Muggle bar in South London, is the first time that Ron's seen Pansy as something worthy of fear.

Fear, her father showed her, is power.

Pansy wants to punch Ron in his smooth freckled face.

"I don't want to move," she says instead. "I'm rather comfortable here."

She shifts on his lap, and leans to whisper in his ear. Her hair falls onto his face, and he screws up his eyes.

"Besides, what are you going to do? Cause a scene?"

Ron's breathing is uneven, and his cock is hard in his jeans. Pansy is a little disappointed. She hasn't won Ron, or even conquered him, but Pansy supposes she should not be surprised at how easily men surrender to their base desires.

People are magpies, after all.

Avengers movieverse, Loki + Asgard, n. act of cutting off or removing

Breaking Point

[love-evil.livejournal.com]

Everybody has their breaking point. For Loki, it is not when he is suspended above the infinity of space. It is not when he looks into the eyes of the man he has known as ‘Father’ for centuries and sees nothing but disappointment and confirmation of his failure. When he lets go of the spear, that is not his breaking point. Loki’s breaking point comes when he falls through the void – when horrors and the rejects of creation scratch at his mind and his soul – and crash lands billions of light-years from home on a savage alien world. When the native drones tear at his skin and drag him before their master – that is when Loki says ‘no more’. He is beaten and broken and his hope is gone that any of his kin will rescue him. They have abandoned him; they have rid themselves of the monster pretending to be a man and he is sure that there is much rejoicing in Asgard. There will be feasts and drinking and parades thrown in honour of Loki’s banishment. The thought of it makes his insides burn and his eyes see nothing but red. No more. Loki will be Asgard’s scapegoat and source of amusement no more. He is done with them and those who would pretend to be his family. He is done; he owes them nothing. From this point on he will be his own man and will have loyalty to no one. He will build his own kingdom and prove that it is Asgard that needs him and not the other way around. He will prove his worth and watch his so-called family weep for what they have thrown away.

Loki smiles (wide and predatory and just a little insane) as he meets Thanos’ eyes. “I have a proposition you will want to hear,” he rasps.

Thanos’ smile is twice as wide and just as insane.

Bourne Legacy, Aaron Cross + Outcome, n. aversion, dislike

insight (a day too late) - *spoilers for the movie*

[silverfoxflower.livejournal.com]

Years later, he'll look back and be tempted to say that he mistrusted this thing from beginning, but the truth was that he didn't have the capacity to understand the depth and breadth of what was being asked of him.

It wasn't until the little blue pills kicked in that he realized just what he signed himself up for.

And by then, like a rabbit in a snare, he was caught.

-

Years later he'll ask himself why he hadn't left when he had the chance.

The answer was: there was never really a chance.

There were the pills, green and blue. Smaller than his pinky nail and stronger than any iron chain dragging him back to medical again and again.

And no matter how bad it got, self-preservation told him that doing his job, swallowing sin when required, was preferable to being hunted down like a broken animal. Small acts of rebellion: skipping checkups, trying to tease a reaction out of the pretty doctor, were enough to make him believe that he still had free will.

-

Years later he'll wonder why he didn't see this all coming.

He did, of course, fantasize about Outcome burning down from the inside out, imploding under the weight of its secrecy and lies. But that was all those were. Fantasies.

Like a child is born believing that their parent is all-powerful, so was Aaron made believing that Outcome had always been and would always be. A constant, looming over him as long as he lived.

-

Years later, Aaron flinches awake to the sound of helicopter rotors. Booted feet splashing through the water. Guns cocked and ready.

He touches Marta to wake her and there is no time, no time for regrets.

ASOIAF/Game of Thrones, Theon + any, to reinstate in someone's estimation or good opinion; restore to favour

[orlidepp.livejournal.com]

BtVS, Faith + any, existing in a natural state, as animals or plants; not domesticated or cultivated; wild.

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Assassin's Creed; Altair or Ezio; a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some offense, crime, wrong, etc., whether real or imagined

[skriftlig.livejournal.com]

Avengers; Natasha/Loki; something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others.

Fill: Use. Warnings for implied sex.

[love-evil.livejournal.com]

Natasha is a spy and is use to keeping things hidden. She’s use to disappearing without leaving a note, use to slinking unseen through long corridors and dreary back alleys, use to rendezvous with deadly men possessing secrets. She’s use to using her body to get information, to encouraging wondering eyes and loose tongues to get what she wants. She’s a spy and seduction and intrigue are all part of the game.

What she isn’t use to is desire: long fingers sliding up her dress and a talented mouth suckling at her neck in a way that makes her pupils dilate and her body tremor with need. She’s not use to wanting her mark, to hoping that tonight he’ll employ that talented tongue, to wishing that he would stop teasing and just take her hard and fast. Natasha isn’t use to letting it become more than a mission. She isn’t use to being the one who becomes compromised. Not for a man like Loki.

[hpfangirl71.livejournal.com]

Teen Wolf, Derek/Stiles, to wish or long for; crave; want.

Fill - Unfettered

[icarus-chained.livejournal.com]

He had thought himself uninhibited, in his youth. The world was his oyster, his treasure chest, and there had been naught in it that he had feared to leap into, to wrestle with, to throw himself upon with gleeful abandon. He had thought himself free, thought himself passionate, thought himself unchained. He had thought, in those strange, distant days, that there was nothing more powerful than he, no terror in all the world equal to his passion.

Oh, what a fool he had been. He admits that now. Without a second's hesitation, every moment, every night, every day. Thinking back. He admits it, with a laugh, joy and glee and all the love in this world or the next.

He had not know passion, then. He had not known freedom. He had been the most powerful thing in all the world, and he had not, until she came, understood how weak that had made him. How limited. How shackled.

Until her. Until he caught her eyes across the width of a graveyard, turned in mid-laugh to find her watching him, and ... felt it.

Power, like nothing he had ever known. A wealth of it, in her eyes, a dark dimension, an undertow that caught him up before he could even murmur, and swept him down with never a care for his will. In her dark, pale serenity, he had found a match to all the power, all the passion in the world. He had found a drowning pool, that would swallow his every plunge, his every sally, without a ripple, that would part itself before every passion and close again over its head without a flinch. Merciless and infinite. Smiling that soft, serene smile, with that endless love in her eyes that offered him no quarter, and never would.

There had been no freedom, until she owned him. There had been no power, until she had appeared to embrace his every move, and swallow it without thought. There had been no passion, until she had foundered it on the rocks of her serenity, spurred it to heights inconsiderable on the strength of her answer, caught it as it fell into the pool of her forgiveness.

He had not been free. Not until he had met the goddess who could take all the power in the world, all the power in his hands, and render it moot. His equal, his match, the water to his fire, the cup to his sword, the darkness to his light.

He had not known he was bound, until she tore him loose, and drowned him soft within her.

His Morticia. His dark goddess. His querida.

He makes a sound, adoring, inconsolable, and buries his face in that dark hollow where her pale, endless throat meets the satin darkness of her shoulder. "You will be the death of me, querida," he whispers, and it is something close to a prayer, a helpless wish, that one day it will be she who breaks that last shackle about him, and swallows the very last of what he is.

She smiles, his goddess, his love, and closes her arms about his head. "And you of me, mon cher," she murmurs, soft and infinitely smiling.

And for a moment, lying in her arms, remembering all those foolish things he had once believed, Gomez thinks there is no greater pleasure, no greater freedom, in all this world ... than having been proved wrong.
