Simpsons Tuesday

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Ahoy-hoy lowly mortals, I am no box of Special K classics_lover here with you this fine January Tuesday. Today's theme is the world's favourite animated, yellow-skinned family, The Simpsons. Prompts can be anything to do with the show, from episode titles, to quotes from the show or references to the show. Heck, if you even want to prompt for the show, that's cool, too.

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...
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark, "Eatthepuddingeatthepuddingeatthepudding."

+ Author's choice, author's choice, "It comes with a free frogurt." "That's good." "The frogurt is also cursed." "That's bad."

+ Author's choice, author's choice, "Grease me up!" "Okey dokey."

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 2015 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Not a fill

My mind went back to the original "you call that a knife?" moment (helps that I watched Crocodile Dundee last week) and I pictured some DC characters doing that before I had the idea of Steve making an unintentional reference and being congratulated for it. Lol.

I feel like I want to use this for another Clint + Dick friendship piece (with Natasha and Babs as significant others) but I'm still trying to figure out how the first meeting between Dick and Natasha goes.

I will probably come back to this.

Alphonse wondered just why he hadn't ever gotten Edward drunk before. His brother completely mellowed out with enough alcohol in him. Still sly, still easily angered, but there was something calm about him once there was enough booze in his system. Edward didn't blow up at everything he thought was a slight. He smiled.

So Alphonse decided to try a question. "So...just how great is sex with Winry?"

Edward didn't flinch or blush or even scream. "Unbelievable." He smiled, that broad, cocky smile that told even more than his comment. "She made me pie once, spread it all over her body." Edward giggled. "All over. I ate it off her." He licked his lips in remembrance.

Maybe that was more than Alphonse wanted to know, but Edward looked so damned pleased with himself. "I hope she liked that."

"Mm." Edward took another drink of his whiskey. "We were so sticky afterward, we had to soak in the tub with the bedding to get free. Tore some skin off, too." He still grinned. "Best scrape I ever got into."

"You can't be serious."

"I am deadly so, Batman."

"Isn't there… something else?"

"Nope. You said if I cleaned the Watchtower, then we could do something fun. And this," Wally says, holding up a Simpsons boxed set, "Is the most pure form of fun gifted to man."

Batman scowls. It's difficult to tell, given his default expression, but Wally knows the guy well enough by now to know when it's more than just resting Bat-scowl. "There's still a speck of dust over –"

Wally races over and cleans it up, and Batman sighs and says, "All right. Start the show. But only until there's an emergency."

"What's more of an emergency than a Simpsons marathon?" Wally asks, and Batman glares at him. Again, it's hard to tell, but yep – not for the first time, Wally is glad that Batman doesn't have like, laser eyes or something.

He'd be toast, probably.

"Shutting up now," Wally says. He pops the DVD into the computer console, fires up a bag of popcorn, and pulls a chair next to Batman to settle in and watch. He sits closer than is strictly necessary, but whatever, Batman's pop culture deficient – he might need Wally this close to explain who everyone is. And what cartoons are. And it's easier to share popcorn that way, too.

They only make it through three episodes and six bags of popcorn before there's a world-threatening emergency, but Wally would swear to anyone that at one point while watching, he saw Batman almost crack a smile.

Fill, Iron Man, "Put Yourself in the Hands Of" (Tony/Pepper)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Pepper wasn’t sure when exasperation had changed to trust in regard to Tony. There’d been the whole ‘him missing’ thing, and ‘him returning and building a giant metal suit’ thing, and ‘nearly getting killed by Obidiah’ thing, and ‘the Hammer thing’, and ‘the Avengers thing’, and then the big thing, Extremis. Somewhere, in the midst of all that, she’d realized she did trust Tony. And yes, he did still exasperate her, but that was because he could be so flip and obnoxious and far too much like a teenage boy in his tastes sometimes.

But putting her life in his hands was still a scary thing, and Pepper hoped she didn’t catch something on fire, or make Tony – or his workshop – explode, or worse.

“Stop jittering.”

Pepper laced her fingers together, trying to still them. It made her knee bounce instead.

“Sit still.” Tony leaned down to glare directly in her eyes. “This is important. I have to get it right.” He pulled some sort of scanner down to her level. “Honey, I need you to lie back now, and breathe. In and out, nice and slow. You do yoga, don’t you?”

“No,” Pepper said. She lay down, lacing her hands together over her stomach, then unlacing them and dropping them to her side. Then tucking them up under her head.

“Huh. I would’ve thought you did yoga.” Tony caught one of her hands, smoothing his fingers over her knuckles and kissed them before laying it at her side. “Seems like a Pepper thing to do. Well. Pretend like you’ve taken yoga, and you know how to breathe properly.”

“I know how to breathe properly!” Pepper snapped, half-sitting up.

Tony tapped her on the end of her nose. “What did I say? Lie down. And breathe. I know this is scary, honey,” he went on in a different tone of voice, busying himself with his notepad while Pepper rearranged herself on the table. “I’m scared, too. What if I get something wrong?” He glanced at her. “Of course, I won’t. But that’s not saying it won’t take a couple of tries.”

Pepper lay back down, not happy when a couple of straps came up over her stomach and chest. “Tony!”

“Thoroughly for precaution’s sake, Pepper. I don’t want you moving around during the scan.” The look he gave her showed his worry. “Nothing’s going to go wrong,” he repeated, more to himself than to her.

“You mean, you’ll get something wrong and try again.”

“That is kind of what scientists do. But I nearly got this once, and I’m a lot smarter now than I was back then. Less booze and recreational stuff.” Tony flashed a smile. “So. We’re ready. Jarvis, will you start the scan?”

“Of course, Mr. Stark,” Jarvis said, and the A.I.’s smooth voice settled Pepper more than Tony had. She did try to take even breaths, and focus on something other than the scanner moving slowly over her body.

“You okay?”

“Fine, Tony,” she started to say, gagging instead.

“Pep?”

Pepper spat out, “Whatever it is, it tastes like burning!”

“I know, well, I didn’t know, but I suspected, and it won’t last long, if you can just stay still a little bit longer, honey,” Tony said, and out of the corner of her eye, she could see him patting the air at her.

Swallowing hard, Pepper tried to obey, to stay still. Finally, the taste in her mouth faded and the straps popped loose as Jarvis said, “Scan complete, Miss Potts.”

She sat up so fast, the straps hadn’t even retreated into the table. “Are we done here?”

Tony offered her his hand to help her stand up. She almost didn’t take it, but then she did. His fingers were cold under hers. “I’m sorry, Pepper,” he said.

Pepper smiled, knowing it didn’t reach her eyes. When Tony tugged, she let him pull her closer. He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her cheek. She hugged him back, almost clinging to him. She had to have faith Tony could help her. Even if he could be a brat, she trusted him to figure out a way for her to control Extremis.

And, if he didn’t? Maybe she would take that yoga class.
