comment_ficAnd after a week of Lonely-Prompt-Adoptions... IT'S FREE-FOR-ALL!!! Yup, you get to post anything you want today and tomorrow, as a reward for everyone being so helpful with the leftover prompts!
Now, just a reminder: there is a limit of 3 prompts per fandom per player, and you must follow the proper format for your prompts. Please see below -
Criminal Minds, Morgan/Reid, "Danger, Will Robinson!"
Doctor Who/Merlin, Arthur/Rose, flower petals.
And as always, if nothing you're seeing snags you're interest, check out our Lonely Prompts.
Please also keep this in mind - as we're reaching the end of most seasons for TV shows, please be considerate to people who haven't actually seen the latest episode and don't leave spoilers for anyone? Remember the Golden Rule, and "Do Unto Others." Thanks!
Now... PROMPT!
EDIT: Sorry, gents, it's actually 3 prompts per fandom *facepalm* If near the end of the day your prompts have been answered, you can write more :)

Was I a good dad?, Leverage, re-aged!Eliot/Nate
Date: 2009-05-08 06:49 pm (UTC)Well, not anywhere in the apartment.
He is, however, on the tiny balcony outside the open French doors, glass in hand and staring out into the night - and Eliot sighs a little, rolls his eyes a little and thinks of course.
Because they've just come back from a bad, bad case, and Eliot grimaces and heads on out after his lover. The balcony's not really big enough for two grown men unless they're real friendly, and Eliot stands close to Nate and reaches out to pull the other man into his arms.
"Gonna tell me what's on your mind?" he asks, voice little more than a whisper, and Nate stares down at the glass in his hand and then lifts it and pours the whiskey over the railing to splash on the sidewalk below.
Silence, for just a minute, and then Nate speaks.
"That client - Ms Jackson...she. Her husband, what he did to her daughter...was I..."
Eliot swallows, knowing where this is heading but willing to let Nate play it out however he wants, and he leans in to press a kiss to Nate's cheek.
"Was I a good dad?" Nate asks quietly, and Eliot's heart aches.
"Yes," he says firmly, and tightens his hold. "Think I'd've wanted t'hang around you otherwise? Nate, gonna tell you something you already know. I had a shit childhood, first time 'round - y'know that. Means the world t'me you were there the second time."
Nate exhales, shakily, and he rolls the empty glass between his hands.
"Sam..."
"Y'didn't fail him, darlin'. Y'know you didn't," Eliot says, a bit louder, a bit harder, and he forces Nate to turn to face him. "What? Y'want me t'get Maggie to kick some sense into you?"
Nate huffs a laugh, but his eyes are still a little shocky, a little dark with more than alcohol.
"You trust me, right?" Eliot asks, and Nate nods and lets Eliot pull him in, pressing his forehead down against Eliot's shoulder. "Then trust me when I say this," he whispers, "you were the best father anyone could have asked for."
And Nate sucks in a gasp and Eliot closes his eyes and holds his lover as Nate starts to finally cry out his pain, hoping this is the final release Nate's heart needs.

Date: 2009-05-08 07:20 pm (UTC)I'm gonna hate myself for saying this, I know, but I think if your prompts are answered, you're allowed to prompt more. I think.
