TUESDAY: ROMANTIC QUOTES

[hpfangirl71.livejournal.com]

I'm hpfangirl71, My apologies for yesterday and thanks to the lovely tigriswolf for pitching in... LJ was being a bugger to me yesterday, not allowing me to post, message or comment on anything. I appreciate the help and now here is our next prompt... the first of the brand new year.

The theme for today is “Romantic Quotes”. Maybe it's a quote from a book, a play or a direct quote from someone famous... if its romantic then its fair game. Lets make this New Year a romantic venture. A true celebration of love.

Please remember the rules so everyone can have a good time:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts from one fandom at a time.
No spoilers in your prompt until at least one week after the original airing/publication date. If there are spoilers in your fic, warn in bold and leave at least three spaces

Please always use the following format to make it easier on the code monkeys:
Fandom(s), character or pairing, prompt.

And here are a few examples, to get you started!

Harry Potter, Draco/Harry, “I vowed after that day that I would be your hero too, no matter how long it took” ― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall
Teen Wolf, Derek/Stiles, "It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life."
Mortal Instruments, Either Alec/Jace or Alec/Magnus, "He's not the only guy in the universe, but he's the only one that matters."

FILL: Rachel Green/Joey Tribbiani, Set during 9.24 (The One in Barbados Pt 2.)

[geckogirl89.livejournal.com]

When Joey sees Ross and Charlie kissing, he smiles lightly once he overcomes his mild surprise. Good for them, he thinks. Charlie never had anything in common with Joey, and she seems pretty happy with Ross right now. Joey wants this to work out well for Ross. For so long, he's been worried about his friend's welfare. He even gave up the chance to be with Rachel because he thought it would hurt Ross.

Rachel. He remembers leaving her alone in that hotel room, the sad look on her face when Joey explained why he couldn't be with her. He glances away from Ross and Charlie and turns, slowly walking away as he comes to the realization that he can be happy too.

Joey's heart pounds in his chest as he walks down the narrow hallway that leads to Rachel's room. The anticipation and the nerves are building as he gets closer to her door. This is the single most important moment in Joey's life.

When he arrives at the door, Joey knocks three times in quick succession. Rachel answers with a small smile which fades slightly when Joey doesn't say anything. But how could Joey speak on such a momentous occasion? Words cannot even begin to express how he feels inside. She raises her eyebrows in question. "What?"

He smiles as he walks over to Rachel, joy and wonder overcoming him. This is everything he ever wanted, and not just for the past two years. This is everything he ever wanted since before he ever met Rachel. This is everything Joey thought he could never have.

He kisses her only for a few seconds at first, softly letting his lips brush over hers, trying to show her what he understands now. One hand goes to her waist (and a part of Joey can't believe he gets to actually touch Rachel's waist like this), while the other cups the side of her face. Rachel's hands slide up until they're resting on his shoulders.

Rachel gazes up at him. "Oh." And then her stare travels down to his lips, and Joey can't believe how lucky he is right now, to have Rachel looking at him like she wants him too.

He brushes a bit of hair away from her face, and then he leans in to capture her lips once more. This time, he holds nothing back, allowing all of the passion, the love, the ecstasy he is feeling pour into the kiss. Rachel's arms wrap around his neck, and Joey is on cloud nine right now. Nothing, nothing could ever be better than this, Rachel clinging to him, Rachel kissing him back, Rachel, Rachel Rachel. His hands roam all over her back. Joey wants to touch Rachel everywhere now that he can. He kicks the door closed with his foot as they make their way backwards into the bedroom, as Joey starts the rest of his life with her.

Feel Alive [1/2]. Rated R: violence, slight dub-con, sex

[love-evil.livejournal.com]

A hand wraps around his throat, lifts him off his feet, and holds him there until dark spots appear in front of his eyes and his struggling hands begin to shake. Then he is thrown across the room; the pain that comes from the impact drowned out by the relief in his lungs. He struggles to his hands and knees, gasping shamelessly for breath, and stares at the leather clad legs before him. Then there is a hand in his hair dragging him up, and a knife being pressed to his jugular.

Tony grins fearlessly as adrenalin courses through his veins, and says, “Now how am I going to suck you off if I’m bleeding out?”

Loki’s hand trembles, the knife briefly cuts into Tony’s skin, and then the blade is tossed aside. Tony’s grin widens as he places his hands on Loki’s thighs and waits expectantly for the magic to happen. Seconds later Loki’s lower half is bare except for his boots, and Tony’s face is manoeuvred closer to the god’s exposed crotch. Tony doesn’t waste any time in getting to work – he knows those deceptively strong hands can snap his neck at the slightest provocation, and he has no intention of dying today.

By now this is a familiar dance to both of them. They know the steps by heart: Loki breaks into Tony’s home, Tony sasses him until Loki loses his cool, Loki tries to kill him, and then Tony offers him an alternative. So far Loki has always chosen the alternative, and Tony has come to expect that he always will. Yet there is always a chance that that could change. Loki could have a bad day and wait a second too long to release him. Tony could surprise him, make him jump, make the knife tear a hole in his windpipe. He could tease too much and Loki could stab him, snap his neck, rip out his Arc Reactor, or maybe cut off a prized appendage. There are so many ways Loki could kill or maim, and Tony would be powerless to prevent any of them.

The obvious answer to this predicament is that Tony should stop getting himself into situations where Loki can kill him before he can call the Iron Man suit. The obvious answer is boring, though, for a thrill seeker like Tony. He loves the adrenalin rush he gains from these encounters – loves not knowing if he’ll make it out alive. He wants to (he’s not suicidal) and that’s why it is always such a relief when he does. Lying sprawled against whatever flat surface Loki has debauched him on, he closes his eyes and rejoices that he’s still alive. Long after the afterglow has faded that elation remains. Sex with Loki is sex on steroids and Tony has always had an addictive personality. It runs in the family, along with an inability to form healthy relationships. The one person he most wanted praise and love from (his father) was never able to give it, his best friend for the longest time (Rhodey) was a client, and the healthiest romantic relationship he’d had in years was with someone (Pepper) who was on his payroll – it doesn’t take a shrink to diagnose that Tony is messed up. Add to that the fact that he’d broken up with Pepper because their relationship was too mundane; because he needs something that makes his heart race and his mind scream bad idea to feel alive. He needs danger, needs his life to hang in the balance, needs the buzz of survival – he needs Loki.

Tony freezes. Well, that had come somewhat out of leftfield.

A sharp tug at his hair reminds Tony that he’s sort of in the middle of something. He returns to sucking Loki’s cock, taking in more of the swollen length in way of apology. Loki’s response is to release his death-grip on Tony’s hair. His hands again relax against the billionaire’s shoulders; put to rest until they are needed.

Avengers movieverse, Thor/Loki or Thor + Loki,

"Do you love me, brother? Will you protect me from any enemy?"

"Last time you spoke to me like this, you were 10 years old and you'd just stolen Father's horse. What have you done now?"

Fill: I Will Stay (warning: not sure if this is Thor/Loki or not, so incest subtext?)

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Thor wakes in the middle of the night, surprised to find his brother slumped in a chair by the bed.

"Loki …" Thor says, wary but polite.

"Brother," Loki says, this time without a sneer or sarcasm.

"Why have you come here? My companions have been searching for you tirelessly. They will not like having you here."

"Do you love me, brother?" Loki asks suddenly.

Thor sits up and blinks, tilting his head to the side. "You know that I do, Loki."

"Will you protect me from any enemy?"

Thor frowns. "The last time you spoke to me like this, you were ten years old and you'd just stolen Father's horse. Please tell me you haven't done that now."

Loki laughs softly, then coughs, clutching his chest. For the first time, Thor notices the bloodstains on his brother's tunic.

"Who has done this to you?" Thor whispers, reaching forward.

Loki does not flinch away. He grimaces with pain as Thor gets out of bed and examines the wounds. "All you need to know is that they wanted me dead, and Midgard is no longer safe for me. Will you take me away from this miserable place?"

"Home?" Thor knows it's a longshot, his greatest hope that Loki continually delights in crushing again and again. But someday, perhaps …

"No." Loki growls. "I will not be seen by others like this."

"Where, then?"

"… Alfheim." Loki says it so softly Thor almost doesn't hear him.

Thor nods. "Very well, brother, let me dress, and we shall go."

The journey is fast, but tires Loki, who, upon arriving in Alfheim, slumps into Thor's arms, the pain of his wounds overwhelming him.

Thor drags him to a hidden cave Lady Sif and the Warriors Three have left stocked with supplies. True, they could go to the capitol city, to Frey and the light elves, but Loki does not wish to be seen, so Thor will care for his brother here, in the wilderness.

"Let me dress your wounds, brother," Thor begs.

Loki manages to remove his shirt by himself. His skin is turning blue in patches in response to the deep cold of Alfheim, but Thor does not comment upon it.

"I'm a monster," Loki hisses with pain as Thor cleans one of the man gouges on his chest. "How can you stand to touch me?"

"You are my brother, Loki, I could not live with myself if I did not treat you as such." Thor finishes bandaging the wounds. It's rare for one of their power to sustain such lasting injuries. Whoever, or whatever, wounded Loki must have been very strong, probably magically so.

"Don't leave," Loki clings to Thor's wrist, so weak that Thor could easily break his hold. "Please, not until I'm stronger, then you can leave me, but … please …" he looks away, cheeks burning with shame.

"As long as you want me, I will stay." Thor says, sitting down next to Loki. "I even stay when you don't want me, remember?" he smiles.

Loki rolls his eyes, but his smile is warm. "Yes, brother, how could I forget?"
