Friday: Lines From a Book

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone. As you may know, I am mahmfic and today is my last day of pinch-hitting for the week. You guys have been fantastic!

I hope you have fun with today's theme Lines from a book. All prompts should be quotes from novels. Pick up the closest book to you and flip to a random page, Google your favorite novel and find some quotes from it, go to Goodreads.com, search for a book and find a quote that strikes you from the novel. Though not required, it would be nice to include the source of the quote you used in your prompt for others to see.

Have a great weekend!

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.


Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt


Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Doctor Who, 12th Doctor/Missy, "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling)
+ Vikings (TV), Ragnar Lothbrok/Ahtelstan, "Is your modesty worth death?" (Irrevocable by Skye Callahan)
+ Cabin Pressure, Arthur/Any, "I love you above all things, even pie." (Fool by Christopher Moore)


We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2014 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

MCU, Tony Stark/Clint Barton, "You know that I'm falling in love with you, right?" (Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl)

[tieleen.livejournal.com]

"You know I'm falling in love with you, right?"

Tony heaves a deep breath. "Seriously," he says, long-suffering. "Can we just go to bed?"

"Actually," Clint goes on, undeterred, "It's possible I'm already in love with you and I just wasn't paying attention. That could explain why Nat's been rolling her eyes at me more than usual."

"You have no idea how important sleep is," Tony says. He sits down on the bed and starts unlacing his shoes. "I've read studies that say the average human needs to sleep eighteen hours a day to be fully functional. Let's try that."

"It could also explain why she left me here like this," Clint muses. "That wasn't like her."

Tony abandons his parallel conversation tactic in disgust. "What, unleashing chaos and destruction on unsuspecting teammates? That sounds exactly like her."

"Nah, Nat usually has my back," Clint says. "You know, sometimes I look at your hair and I think the word 'luscious', and then I want to put an arrow through my eye. I don't even know why I know that word."

"On the one hand, I feel very uncomfortable right now," Tony says. "On the other hand, you're going to feel very sad about all of this in the morning, and that makes me feel a little better."

"Oh, believe me, I feel very sad about this right now," Clint says. "I just can't stop."

"Hm," Tony says. He lies down, not bothering to remove his clothes, and pats the other side of the bed invitingly. "You know, maybe this isn't so bad. Tell me more about my hair."

"It's not as good as Thor's," Clint says. "Don't take advantage of the truth spell victim."

"Hey, I tried to avoid this," Tony says. "Blame Natasha. And your own inability to follow good advice. I suggested sleeping it off."

"And then you decided to just go for the cheap ego boost," Clint points out, laying down besides him. "Why is the bed tilted?"

"Considering you just told me," Tony says, "under the influence of a truth spell, that you're falling in love with me, I think my behavior's a credit to my name. I needed some parts this morning. How can you even tell? It's a four degree angle."

"I have excellent observation skills," Clint says. "Why does our bed have the kind of parts anyone would need for anything? How is your behavior ever a credit to anyone? Did you grab anything from the kitchen when we came in? I just realized I'm starving."

Tony gives him a side look. "Excellent observation skills, really."

"Sure," Clint says. "There's really nothing to eat up here?"

"We have an Our Bed and you just realized you may be in love with me," Tony says. "And people say I'm oblivious. It only took me four months."

"Huh," Clint says.

"There may still be some donuts in the bathroom," Tony says.

"Is that what you do when I'm on missions?" Clint says. He stands up, stretching carefully. "Eat donuts in the shower?"

"Tell me about my eyelashes," Tony says. "Are they luscious too?"

"They're pretty good," Clint says. "It could be they just seem long compared to how short you are."

Tony grins at the ceiling. "Well, work with what you've got."

"You've definitely -- okay, you know what, let's try this," Clint says. He spends the next half hour singing 80's rock hits, until Tony breaks down and promises not to ask anything else.
