comment_ficHello everyone. As you may know, I am ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

Fill. The Martian (Book), Mark Watney, Chris Beck. Post-Canon.
Date: 2016-03-25 01:56 am (UTC)Soused.
Absolutely, positively inebriated beyond the point of responsible.
“I'm so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
Chris laughed and pushed him down onto the hotel bed, “Whatever you say, King of Mars,” he said. “Make sure you don't tell that to any of the reporters tomorrow. Annie will have your head.”
“Annie loves me. I tell the media to fuck off,” Mark declared, throwing his arms up and punching the headboard without a flinch.
“I'm pretty sure you're mixing up love and hate, Watney.”
“Kind of the same thing, aren't they?”
“Sure. If you're into really aggressive sex. You want this comforter over you or should I leave it off so you can run to the head?”
“I haven't had aggressive sex in years. Well, any sex.”
“Yep. Mars is a bitch that way. Comforter, on or off?”
“Chris, did you get laid while I was on Mars?”
A snort from the doorway had Chris refusing to turn around: he knew the rest of the crew had followed him as he'd dragged Mark away from the bar. “Last time, comforter?”
“You got laid. Johanssen, you tapped that ass. I'm proud.”
She laughed as she told him, “I'm glad you approve.”
“All right, comforter off. Head's to your left, balcony is off to the right, though please don't fall over the railing and die. It'd be really stupid for us to bring you home from Mars, only to die at the fucking Pasadena Hilton. Now go to sleep.”
“Yes, sir, Dr. Bossy Beck.”
