dies mercuri: where heroes die

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

Back for my third day I'm firefox1490. I feel like I'm posting at a really strange time but I figure someone somewhere is awake. Anyway lets do this.

Today's theme is "Where heros die". Everyone sooner or later dies. Terrible and depressing I know. Todays for our favorite hero and their death, may it be an epic death where they go out in a blaze of glory or a quiet whisper where they simply fade away.

Please forget the rules:
* Three prompts per fandom, and no more than five total. If one of your prompts is filled, you may post another.
* No spoilers for new shows/seasons until at least one week after airing.
* If your fill do contains spoilers, please warn accordingly and leave enough space for people to pass by.

To help the hardworking codemonekys please format your prompts as such:

Format:
Fandom, Character, Prompt
Fandom, Character/Character, Promp

Example
DCU; Tim Drake; One day he simply didn't show up.
The Fast and the Furious Series; Brian O'Conner; For every runner there's a finish line sooner or later
Super Mario Brothers; Mario; It's nice to come home and know the princess is in this castle.

If nothing strikes your fancy feel free to check out the lonely prompts, they always need a bit more love.

Oh my God. Ohmigod. That noise you're hearing? That would be the sound of my heart breaking.

(I love Tim Drake. And I can see something like this happening far too easily.)

The smell of cake is strong enough to pick up a concrete block and throw it. Mario races down the hallway, scurrying past some wide-eyed toads, the soles of his shoes tip-tapping against the stone floor. By the time he reaches the kitchen, there's an ache running through his body that can only be soothed by the feel of Peach's body of his arm.

"Oh," she says, wiggling within his sudden grip. Adjusting herself, she pulls him into a hug of her own. Her scent is fruity and clean and all encompassing. "Hello, Mario."

He leans up, wiping a speck of cake batter from her cheek. When he'd first arrived, his heart had been racing. Anything could have happened since he'd left the castle that morning - Bowser could have dropped by or the toads could have gone on strike - but the smell of cake had stopped those thoughts just as quickly as they'd appeared.

Now? Now his heart is racing for another reason.

Supernatural, Sam or Dean, one of them dies, but they've both died and come back to life so many times that the other never stops waiting

I almost want to write something for this, but this Hunger Games, mega crossover fanvid (http://doctorwhoot.tumblr.com/post/21586976925/if-this-were-ever-actually-a-movie-i-think-id) is something that Lord Loss would definitely approve of. (Sorry for the cheating.)

Her first thought is that perhaps she's finally gone mad. She puts her palm flat against the cold stone of his tomb (cold like his body when she'd anointed it with myrrh) and thinks, But this feels real.

Except, except.

Except that he is not here. She has actually brushed the tears from her eyes (it seems as if she's been crying for three days) to make sure. He is not here.

And suddenly she is angry, so frightfully angry. She feels a scream building inside her, wanting to burst out and echo and echo the way it's already echoing in her chest. It's not fair. They've taken everything and now to take this too, to take him so that he can't even rest—

Her fingers scrabble against the wall, her knuckles whitening as she tries to grasp the wall, tries to hold on to something.

She's going to have to tell his mother. She's going to have to tell everyone. And they're going to look at her, not with blame exactly, but with something like it, and she's going to hate it because really she'll be back here, living out this final injustice over and over. Judas will never leave that garden.that courtyard, the fading call of a rooster always in his head. And she, she will never leave this tomb.

Why do you seek the living among the dead?

Because that's the only way to know, isn't it, and she will never know.

Never gonna hold the hand of another guy - Bucky/Steve, spoilers for Captain America 2

[tigriswolf]

(Captain America 2 spoilers, Bucky/Steve.)


In storage somewhere, in a museum famous the world over, there is a packet of letters written home. They all start with, Hey, Steve, and end with, I’ll see you soon, Bucky.

In the packet next to it is another bundled bunch of letters. They all start with, Hey, Buck, and end with, Don’t worry about me, I’m doing fine, Steve.

Bucky’s letters to Steve never made it to him because he’d been living at Camp Lehigh, not in their Brooklyn apartment. Steve’s letters to Bucky chased him around Europe, and were then forgotten after Steve’s dramatic rescue.

The letters were carefully kept by Gabe Jones and Peggy Carter, and then finally donated, when the first talk of a Captain America exhibit started up. There was such a wealth of information, though, and the letters were a bit personal, even with how both men must have censored themselves, since the letters would be examined by authorities before being sent on.

When they pull Steve from the ice, the curator thinks about offering the letters back to him, but then the Battle of Manhattan, and then HYDRA –

Well. There are more important things to worry about than 70-year old letters in storage.

But then Bucky Barnes is back from the dead, and he’s standing beside Steve Rogers, and the curator pulls those packets of letters out and mails them home.
