Thursday: Out of Context

[argentum-ls.livejournal.com]

Happy Thursday, everyone! Back when I signed up to host (last September), I selected the theme for today, and now I have no idea what I meant. This strikes me as ironically appropriate since today's theme is out of context. Prompts can focus on conversations or actions that are misunderstood, stories about events that "you just had to be there for," or, well, any other creative way you would like to interpret this theme.

The rules still haven't changed:

No more than five prompts in a row.

No more than three prompts in the same fandom.

No spoilers in prompts.

If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space.

Prompts should be formatted as follows:

Fandom, Character+/Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...

The Listener, Toby, Sometimes Toby entertains himself by trying to reconcile what people are thinking which what they're doing/saying. He doesn't always succeed.

Teen Wolf, Sheriff and/or Melissa outsider!POV, They overhear a conversation about the goings on in their kids' lives and come to an absolutely logical and completely incorrect conclusion about what they heard.

Highlander, Amanda, Amanda tells her favorite thieving anecdote. What happened and why it went down that way made perfect sense at the time.

Think today's prompts are missing something? Visit the lonely prompt archive and brighten someone’s day.

Have fun and happy Thursday!

The Avengers/MCU, the team (+ any), Someone shows up to work wearing a wrist brace. Leave it to Tony to announce to the room a dirty theory as to what caused the injury.


(I got a lot of questions about the ace bandage on my wrist today. I still don't know what I did to it...)

"Steve, I didn't think it was possible to injure you - or is that a case of Super-Soldier-Repetitive-Strain?" Tony grinned.

"Hmm?" Steve looked over questioningly at Tony - he was wary, sure that Tony had some nasty double-entendre in mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Got a bad case of loneliness, huh?" Tony said, walking over to Steve, grinning wickedly.

Now Clint was looking, and Coulson looked like he was appraising the nearest exits. Steve flushed, still unsure of what Tony meant, but unwilling to rudely ignore the man.

"I - I don't know what you're getting at," he said stiffly.

"Well, it's not Tennis Elbow with a support for your hand, is it?"

"Meaning?"

"Steve Rogers, Captain America - JARVIS can I get a drumroll?"

"No, sir, you may not"

" - You've got Wanker's Thumb."

Whitechapel, the team, Chandler sometimes wondered about the maturity level of his team. He honestly didn't think he'd said anything that amusing.

The History Boys (film), the boys, Whenever they get together after graduation, they always somehow start reciting poetry, acting out skits, and any number of little things that they learned in Hector's class. It never fails to draw a laugh -- or to alienate outsiders.

Filled this. It got longer than a comment so I stuck it on my journal here.

Tinker(,) Tailor(,) Soldier(,) Spy (book or film), Guillam + Prideaux, Now that Peter better understands Jim, he can't help feeling (internally?) protective or defensive whenever someone so much as implies him in any tone of voice around the office.


(Sooooo I started shipping them recently. You don't have to go that route, however. I just felt the need to share. 6^^;;)

Monkey Island, Guybrush Threepwood, he didn't expect to trip over an enormous stuffed lizard, but it's just that sort of day

[aestivali.livejournal.com]

Plebs, Marcus/Cynthia, this wasn't quite what he meant when he said "I want to clean your chimney."

[aestivali.livejournal.com]

Vikings, Athelstan(+/Any), he's never been so out place but he's never felt so much at home

[aestivali.livejournal.com]

Peter Pan, Peter/Wendy, when she subtly brings up the subject of feelings, Peter fails to understand

[aestivali.livejournal.com]

Historical RPF, Elagabalus/Hierocles, the last person he'd expected to see prostituting themselves in a tavern was the emperor himself

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

Grimm, Nick/Monroe - someone overhears them talking about a case and thinks they're talking about their sex life ;)

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

White Collar, Peter/Neal/(El) - Peter jumps to conclusions and falsely accuses Neal

[osiris-88.livejournal.com]

Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, "my people skills are rusty"

[clwilson2006.livejournal.com]

SGA, Lorne/Parrish, "And then we put the apricot in his pants!... I guess you had to be there."

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

any, any, what the fuck did you just say?

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

any, any, come at me, bro!

[hematitebadger.livejournal.com]

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Pinkie Pie + Rarity, everything Pinkie does makes sense in context, but sometimes the context only exists inside her own head.

[hematitebadger.livejournal.com]

Haven, Duke+Nathan+Audrey, "Someone's Trouble made me do it; can we leave it at that?"

[hematitebadger.livejournal.com]

Community, Jeff (+ or /) Abed, "Why do you keep referencing that show/movie; you know I've never seen it."

(I'd prefer something that's not Inspector Spacetime related, but wherever the muse takes you.)

Jeff gets fed up on a Thursday. He remembers it's a Thursday because Shirley mentions one of her kids having piano lessons (Troy snorts nerds; they allow it), and then Abed asks if the teacher is an elderly Japanese woman and gives Jeff a pointed look like he should know why elderly Japanese women shouldn't be giving Shirley's sons piano lessons.

"Why do you keep referencing that movie? You know I've never seen it, and I know you know I've never seen it because I say so every time you ask."

Annie frowns at Jeff, giving him that pointed look that she does. That 'be sensitive to Abed' look.

"I've been trying to subtly hint that you should watch it with me sometime," Abed explains, and Jeff chokes on subtly while Britta spouts some encouraging and irrelevant open-minded garbage and Pierce choruses the gay jokes they've heard a hundred times before.

Abed just keeps staring at Jeff. Jeff never wins with this group.

"And if I do watch this movie with you, you'll stop talking about Satan's cats, right?" he asks, words laced with familiar exhaustion and irritation.

Abed nods. Jeff sighs.

They watch the movie on Friday. Jeff remembers it's a Friday because afterwards, they get pizza, and it's not until Abed drops his sixth Meg Ryan reference of the night that Jeff figures it out. Sleepless in Seattle, Jeff has seen.
