comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
simply_aly and today's theme is One Word Prompts. This one's pretty simple, prompts can be anything, but they have to be only one word long.
The rules are the same as they've always been:
-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 Vampire Diaries, Damon/Elena, dream
+ Game of Thrones, Cersei Lannister, power
+ Supernatural, Dean Winchester, death
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Visit the lonely prompt archive and brighten someone’s day. For more recent prompts to write, you can also use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.

Date: 2016-07-17 08:06 pm (UTC)Dr. McNeil glanced up. “What?”
Dr. Sheppard signed again, more slowly.
Christine had taken a crash course in ASL - everyone who came to Atlantis had to, these days - and she couldn’t figure out whose name-sign was smile. “Who?”
Dr. Sheppard finger-spelled for her. R-O-D-N-E-Y.
The scientists, like the soldiers, tended to call each other by their last names unless they were good friends, and Christine was still trying to figure out first names and get used to answering to people’s hollers of Franklin. Her name-sign was kite, after Benjamin Franklin and the kite-and-key experiment. She was flattered.
“Who’s Rodney?” she asked.
“Dr. McKay,” Dr. McNeil clarified.
Christine blinked. “Really?” His name-sign was ‘smile’? As far as Christine knew, McKay had two volumes - loud and louder - and two modes - impatient and furious. She was pretty sure she’d never seen him smile. Granted, she’d been on Atlantis for all of a week and in that time there had been two city-wide power malfunctions, a gate malfunction, and rolling blackouts while the city settled back onto New Lantea after its stint on Earth.
“Yes,” Dr. McNeil said.
Dr. Sheppard added, hands still carefully slow for Christine, “He has a great smile.”
“Right,” Christine said faintly, though she signed okay, because her crash course in ASL had not included much in the way of slang, to say the least. “I’ll just wait till Dr. McKay sends me those specs.” She hunched over her laptop and continued typing.
She supposed, since Dr. Sheppard and Dr. McKay had been working together since the beginning of the Expedition, that they’d be friends, that Dr. Sheppard would have seen him smile once in a while. And if they’d worked together in Antarctica, before it was crazy, maybe Dr. Sheppard had even seen Dr. McKay be a nice person. Maybe the stress of constant war with the Wraith made everyone cranky, even though Dr. Sheppard and his interpreter Major Lorne seemed nice enough. Both of them were pretty easy on the eyes, too.
Dr. McNeil, who’d been on the wave previous to Christine’s, seemed to be friendly enough with them. He knew sign language really well, and also he was one of the smartest people on the expedition, so Christine figured he was one of the cool kids, as it were. High school never really ended.
The thing Christine liked about Atlantis, though, was that people took her seriously. She figured that since a couple of other people in the science department - Naoe, McNeil - were also young and prodigies, people were used to talking to really young people like they were adults, but she figured out fast that competence mattered first, age and physical appearance mattered second. Sort of.
Christine switched to one of her assigned back-burner projects - trying to get the water desalination system to full capacity - when someone stomped into the lab. She lifted her head and saw McKay plant himself in front of Dr. Sheppard, hands flying.
He pressed a button on his datapad, and calculations appeared on one of the Ancient display screens mounted on the wall.
“You think you’re so smart, huh? Those projections are insane. Not only would they get the pilots killed, but we wouldn’t recover enough of their corpses to send home in a matchbox,” McKay spat.
Christine flinched, eyes wide. Zelenka, Kusanagi, and Naoe immediately rose up from their stations and backed toward the walls of the lab.
“Hang on,” Dr. McNeil began.
McKay cut him off with a sharp gesture. “Silence, baby-face. This is between me and Doctor Crazy Hair.” He jabbed an accusing finger at Dr. Sheppard, then kept on signing and shouting. “Don’t think I don’t see what you’re doing. You think if we capture the fallout from an exploding star, we can recharge a ZPM. But guess what? You’re not the physicist. I am. And if you think for one second that Woolsey will -”
McNeil cast Zelenka a look. Zelenka shook his head.
McKay was screaming in French.
Dr. Sheppard looked equally irate, hands flying too fast to understand, almost too fast to see.
Zelenka tapped something on his datapad.
A message popped up on Christine’s screen.

Date: 2014-01-22 09:27 pm (UTC)Danny backed away. "Unbelievable," he muttered.
"Danno, come on, don't get upset--"
"Our first kiss. Our first kiss. And you criticize? What is wrong with you, Steven? You know what normal people do after their first kiss?"
"What?" Steve said, hands on his hips.
"Not what you did, I'll tell you that much."
"Danno-"
"You are a-"
"Danno, calm down-"
"I don't believe--"
"Danno, I was just trying to say that I'd like to do that again. That's all. Promise." Steve showed his palms in surrender.
Danny sighed. "Seriously?"
"Yes," Steve.
Danny rolled his eyes and kissed him again, this time aggressively, pressing his tongue into Steve's mouth in hard, hot circles.
"Happy now?" Danny said when they parted.
Danny smirked that Steve seemed a little out of breath when he answered: "Hell, yes."

Daphne nodded. "That's probably for the best."

Date: 2014-01-22 03:56 pm (UTC)FILL - "A Little Fling" - MCU, Tony/Pepper, Fling
Date: 2014-01-23 02:24 pm (UTC)"You don't have enough power left for a standing start, and if you don't get clear of this when it explodes, you're going to end up being Scrap Iron Man," Pepper said severely. Something small exploded nearby, and she swatted the incoming debris away casually, her skin glowing with Extremis.
"I love it when you talk snarky to me," Tony said, grinning behind his mask.
"More of that later," she said, and grabbed his shoulder and hip with her strong hands.
"You got this, Potts?"
"Tony," she said, and pulled him close enough for a kiss whose heat he could feel through the armor, "I'm literally made of fire."
"You're so hot right now," he said.
Pepper rolled her eyes as she suddenly spun and hurled Tony through the air, out of the window, letting him put his last power reserves into extending his flight out of the blast radius. The bad guys' base exploded a moment later as Tony made a mildly ungraceful landing next to the scorched Quinjet.
"Where the hell were you, Stark?" Clint asked, coming out of his defensive crouch.
Tony scanned the debris with JARVIS aid, and waved back at Pepper as she smashed her way out of the wreckage with remarkable economy of motion. Her clothes hadn't survived, and the view was surpassingly lovely. He needed to get tossed around more often.
"Oh, you know. Pepper and I were having a little fling."

Date: 2014-01-22 04:12 pm (UTC)Fill, kid!Thor and kid!Loki have the hiccups
Date: 2014-01-22 09:35 pm (UTC)Loki soon followed with his own hiccup.
"We've been like this for an hour," Loki complained.
"My hiccups are so loud they hurt my chest!" Thor said proudly.
Frigga smiled at them both. "Well, let me see..." She suddenly jumped in front of Loki and yelled "BOO!!!"
Loki jumped in surprise but then laughed, and Thor laughed as well. But quickly, Frigga jumped toward Thor, yelling, "AHHH!!!!!" and Thor started just as much, to Loki's amusement.
Both boys giggled, and Frigga asked, "Did it work?", but she was soon answered by more hiccups.
"Okay, let's try holding our breath," she said. The two boys took a deep breath and held it for a minute.
"Breathe out," she said, and they did.
It was quiet for a minute, but then Thor hiccupped and Loki soon followed.
"Hmmm," Frigga said, as she went to her cupboard, "Drink this."
"Will it taste bad?" Thor said.
"Things that make you better always taste bad," Loki opined.
"Hush," she said and gave them each a sip, ignoring their disgusted faces when they tasted it.
After a minute, they realized that they didn't have the hiccups any more.
"Loki was the one who didn't like the hiccups, I could have withstood them," Thor said.
"Nuh-unh, Thor was the one who was worried we would have the hiccups forever, I told him that was silly," Loki countered.
"Well, now you're both fine. Go play and next time, don't have a contest to see who can drink the most bubblysyrup while hanging upside down," she said.
The two boys looked at each other guiltily.
"What makes you think we did that?" Loki said, face shifting to feigned innocence.
She narrowed her eyes. "Out, before I give you the hiccups again," she said with a smile.
The two boys ran out then, racing to see who could get back to the toys first.
Frigga shook her head. Always an adventure with those two.

Date: 2014-01-22 06:22 pm (UTC)Fill - Movie (a bit silly)
Date: 2014-01-22 09:21 pm (UTC)Nate always cries when he watches Titanic. He will deny it to his dying day.
Sophie cries at the end of Casablanca. She thinks it's a terrible thing to give up love to do what's right. It grows more and more understandable to her over the years, which only makes it harder to watch.
Hardison cries at any movie where children find a home. Most recently Despicable Me.
Eliot doesn't cry.
Ever.
Rudy doesn't count. Everyone cries at Rudy.

Date: 2014-01-22 06:23 pm (UTC)Fill: "Phoenix"
Date: 2015-06-25 04:45 pm (UTC)He only does it once.
Parker's not afraid of Eliot's rage.
She knows he's never actually angry at her.
Nate uses that fury and points it at the bad guys.
Eliot lets him.
Sophie tries to soothe it a few times.
It doesn't work out well.
Eliot rages inside for all the things he could've had, all the things he gave up, all the innocents out there hurting.
If he gave in to it all, the whole world would burn.

Date: 2014-01-22 06:24 pm (UTC)Fill, Logan and Marie, X Men.
Date: 2014-01-25 09:13 am (UTC)"How much longer? This is driving me fucking insane," Rogue mutters.
"Don't curse. Won't be long." His voice is low and vibrates through her and the wooden bench they sit on. He smells like leather and liquor.
"I can't help it." He ignores the last urgent whisper but she notices he pulls out a cigar and turns it with long fingers end to end against his denim clad thigh.
"We have reached a verdict." The court stands at the words and Rogue mutters another curse under her breath. Storm makes a disapproving noise but Rogue hears Logan stifle a laugh as he bites on the unlit cigar.
"We find the defendants, not guilty..."
The rest blurs and drifts away as Rogue's eyes roll back into her head with relief. She doesn't remember what happens next other than Storm's perfume-laden hug and Logan's arms like wire ropes around her neck. The next thing she knows they are in bars, a few tame ones with Storm until she loses interest, and then some others with pulsing base and blinding lights with just her and Logan.
"I'm happy." she shouts at Logan - forgetting her can hear her despite the pounding music. He nods because he knows what she means - know she means she's genuinely happy for once - a rarity since she found the cure didn't work. He tolerates the music and the scantily clad morons that try and grind up against him. He doesn't tolerate the guys that try the same with her and she smiles at that.
"Marry me."
She thinks she heard him wrong because he would never say that, never in the million years he might live for.
"What?"
"Nothing."
She's stopped moving - stone cold in a sea of writing bodies but he just smirks. She punches him and he pulls her arm under his, as if he were escorting her to a horse and cart or something. It makes her remember how old he truly is and she leans her head against his shoulder. His kisses her forehead roughly and they head to the bar for another drink.

Nikiko twitched her nine tails. "Just as I said." And when she smiled, Robin knew he'd lost the argument.
It's been decades since I've written these two.
