As Someone Somewhere Once Said, It's Wednesday

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Good Wednesday to everybody, with sincere apologies for unavoidable tardiness on my part.

Today's lovely theme is Quotes, so pick some words that somebody else said, and use them for either a prompt OR a fill OR both, if you feel so inclined :)

The Rules:

>You may post up to five prompts
>You may not post more than three prompts in the same fandom
>If one of your prompts is filled you may prompt again
>No spoilers in prompts
>If a fill contains spoilers then give a warning in the header and leave plenty of space

Prompts should look like this:

Fandom, Character+/Character, Prompt
Fandom 1/Fandom 2, Character+/Character, Prompt

And finally, to get ye going, some examples:

Assassin's Creed, any, For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return. Leonardo Da Vinci

MCU, Loki + any, Confine yourself to the present Marcus Aurelius

Any, any + any, Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand. Homer (Simpson)

"I want to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees," Booth murmured.

Brennan looked puzzled. "You want me to flower, attracting bees and other beneficial insects, allowing them to pollinate the flowers, encouraging the development of fruit?"

Booth sighed. "Sometimes it is possible to be too literal, you know."

Harry Potter, author’s choice, Harry is short for Harriet. (Dr. John Watson)

[xanth-love.livejournal.com]

It started, as so many things did, at the Dursley's. Aunt Petunia always tried to keep her hair fairly short, as then she wouldn't have to deal with paying attention to her niece. Apparently having everyone think she was a boy was worth Aunt Petunia not needing to brush her hair.

It didn't actually bother Harry all that much. She had long since decided to ignore 90% of what people thought of her, both because it was wrong and because she didn't really care.

Hogwarts, of course, was a little more awkward. Even there, they knew her as Harry, which wasn't actually a problem, as far as she was concerned. The awkward part was when she tried to explain that 'Harry' was short for 'Harriet' and not 'Harold' or whatever they thought it might be.

(It wasn't until Ron accidentally walked in on her in the shower—boys' dorm, of course—that he realized she was serious.

“Bloody Hell, mate, you're a girl?”

“Bloody Hell, Ron,” she parroted back, annoyed. “I've only been trying to tell everyone that for the last five years!”)

CSI: Las Vegas, any/any, "He's been dying from the same heart attack for twenty years." (The Godfather 2)

[livingtolaugh.livejournal.com]

Ok, not sure this is ... um, the 'pairing' is Brass/Las Vegas ... is that ok? Um, this is short, and weird, and I hope you like it.

One never comes into the police force the easy way. There's always family, or personal duty, or some attack, or pride, or dreams or anything really. Anything to force their hand. Anything that makes them become cops. But no one ever comes to the police force easy.

He's no different. He knows that. Knows it all to well.

But he also knows that he loves her to well. Loves his city. Loves Vegas. For all her glitz and glamour and ugly, ugly secrets, he loves her. Wants to protect her. Protect people from her.

He became a cop because he loves things. Loves people, loves reputations, loves things, people, no one else wants to protect.

And it's one heart attack after another, this 'protect and serve' business. It's one heart attack after another looking to save his city from herself, from other people. But he loves it. Loves her.

Even if it kills him, he loves her, with all her ugly secrets, and all her beauty, and all the ways she's forced his hand over the years, he loves her. He became a cop for Las Vegas, and he'll die a cop for Las Vegas.

One way or another.

Avengers movieverse, Loki, "I was raised in your shadow. Now you're gonna die in mine. No one will even remember your name."

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, Tony or Loki, It is of great importance whether a youth in his tender years hears any act praised or censured; this necessarily makes a lasting impression upon his mind, and becomes afterwards the rule of his life for all time.

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, Loki, When you're on your own, behind enemy lines, no artillery, no air strikes, no hope of an evac, you don't fight dirty. You do things that make dirty look good.

Any, any/any, I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm manly enought to admit it. -Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Fill, Dexter/Grand Theft Auto, Maria/Tommy, unrequited Mercedes/Tommy + Tom Matthews

[blondebabe800.livejournal.com]

"We're in trouble, Mercedes. Where's your black book?"

"Well hello to you too," Mercedes grumbled as she attempted to balance cell phone and mascara. "I don't have one. It's on the computer in the office."

"Then please explain to me how my homicide lieutenant, Maria LaGuerta, just so happens to have a copy of it? And is currently threatening to anonymously send it to the Star unless I promote her?"

"She's bluffing."

"She showed me your flash drive."

Her flash drive? Come to think of it, she had been backing up some of her important files last week on the computer. But no one else was in the office except...

"I'll call you back, okay?" She hung up the phone and quickly dialled another number. "Tommy. Come over. Now."

----

By the time Tommy arrived at Mercedes' house, she had finished getting ready and was waiting for him in her living room.

"What's up?" he asked.

"I had a flash drive in my office three days ago that had a backup of my most important computer files, including my girls' client list. Two days ago, you were in my office. Now, it's gone missing."

"Are you sure it didn't fall behind the desk?"

Mercedes crossed her arms. "I recieved a call from one of my most important clients--I won't say who, let's just say he's a man who could make your life very miserable. He informed me that it was currently in the possession of a Lieutenant Maria LaGuerta. You know who I'm talking about?"

"I won't lie to you. I owed her a favour after I got into a bit of a sticky situation a couple weeks ago. She wanted me to confirm her suspicion that her boss was visiting hookers. A man of his income, well, I figured he was probably seeing one of your girls."

"This exchange didn't occur fully clothed, did it?" Mercedes raised an eyebrow.

The look on Tommy's face resembled that of a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "What makes you say that?"

"I've seen the lieutenant on TV. Quite an attractive woman, if you like girls."

He threw his hands up in defeat. "It's true. We dated years ago, and when we saw each other again--well, it's like the past twenty-five years never happened." He grinned, looking very little like the hardened mob boss that he was, before suddenly sobering up and adding. "You won't tell anyone, will you?"

Mercedes sighed. "I can't. You did a really horrible thing, and if you weren't packing some serious heat, I'd kick your ass. But you're my oldest friend in the city. And I kinda owe you one for getting me set up back in the day." She shook her head, amused. "You, of all men, falling in love..."

"Hey, I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm manly enought to admit it. Even if only to you."

"Get out of here, Romeo."

At least one of us has the guts to say how we really feel.
