The Flash (TV), Barry Allen/Caitlin Snow, Killer Frost

[quitehopeless.livejournal.com]

A/N: Sorry. Over by 23 words. I hope that's forgivable because I couldn't seem to cut anything out.

---

“I hate winter. It's too cold even with superspeed,” Barry grumbled, sitting down in the chair next to her. “I suppose we have to do a bunch of tests on that now, don't we?”

It took her a minute to look up at him. “Huh? Oh, yeah. Yes, we should do tests.”

“What's wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“It's not nothing.”

She sighed. “I forgot to move my plants inside last night. One of them was a gift from Ronnie to brighten up my office and I took it home after he—after the accident—and it froze. It's dead. Like him.”

“I'm sorry,” Barry put his arms around her and held on, knowing he couldn't do anything else for her but hoping this was enough.

Batman: TAS, Batman/Harley Quinn, Rumba

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Batman: TAS, Batman/The Joker, storm warning

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Gotham (TV), Jim Gordon/Oswald Cobblepot, deep breath

Fill: Gotham (TV), Jim Gordon/Oswald Cobblepot, deep breath

[shootingstarrrz.livejournal.com]

It makes a twisted kind of sense, really.

The icy water at the dockside is what first bound them together.

He doesn’t have time to think about things rationally - doesn’t get chance to do more than shed his overcoat and suck in one last fortifying breath.

It’s sink or swim, that’s what his father always told him.

Oswald is a dead weight in his arms - an anchor tethering him to a place neither of them should want to be.

He fights it, even as he welcomes it.

Life. Death. Light. Shadow.

Gotham is the real winner, either way.

Agent Carter (TV), Peggy Carter/Edwin Jarvis (+ Edwin Jarvis/Anna Jarvis in a polyamorous way), back

[daria234.livejournal.com]

Jarvis offers the telephone.

"I couldn't," Peggy says. She's nervous; she cares about whether she's doing something improper, though usually she cares about anything but.

"You won't believe me until you call," he persists, and she sighs and dials.

"Hello?" Anna answers.

"I...this is Peggy."

"Peggy! I've heard the most wonderful things about you!"

"And I you! I...."

"Yes, it's fine with me, dear. But two things: have him home by 7:00, and be careful -- he has a bad back. He's far too proud to tell you himself."

"Of course. Thank you."

"I'll see you soon."

Peggy smiles at Edwin. "All right."

She kisses him, soft, and closes her eyes.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, any/any, "What's "schmoop"?"

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor'verse), Darcy Lewis/any, "Can you demonstrate?"

Double drabble, Jason/Darcy (oops, no Thor)

[quitehopeless.livejournal.com]

A/N: They did not get to the actual demonstrating part, but the lead up was getting long. This goes along with that Krav Maga idea I have yet to finish.

---

“You know if you're going to be with me, you need protection. And I'm not just talking about the taser,” Jason said, and Darcy threw her pillow at him, rolling over and trying to go back to bed. “I'm not kidding, Darcy. There are plenty of people who want me or my family dead. Hell, half the time I want my family dead.”

“You can't kill the one with the nice ass.”

“What?”

She smiled. “I like looking even if I only touch yours. Dick gets to live.”

“You know he's probably the most annoying one of all of them.”

“I like him. He's funny. And you owe him because he got me to forgive you.”

Jason grunted, but then he pulled her into his arms and held her there, using one hand to push back her hair. “You know I died, right? Joker killed me. This isn't a joke, Darcy. You need to know how to protect yourself with more than a taser if you're with me.”

“Okay, but only if you teach me.”

“Why?”

“So I can be hot for teacher.”

“Darcy—”

“I want to learn from you,” she leaned in close to him. “I trust you.”

Iron Man movieverse, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, "Did you just snort?"

Fill

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

The little noise should have gone ignored in Tony's world; but it had come from his brand new assistant, a prim example of good manners and better business practices. Tony's attention was jarred from his latest invention and he looked up to find her usual mask of politeness. But he had heard it.

"Did you just snort at my prediction that I'll make history one day?" Ms. Potts lifted an eyebrow, but Tony caught a hint of a blush. "You did!"

The mask broke into an expressive roll of her eyes. "You're impossible!"

Tony decided he was keeping this one.

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Tortall, Keladry of Mindelan/any, "That was... different."

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Classical Mythology, author's choice, "Wheee!"

Greek mythology, Phaeton

[tigriswolf]

(might be a bit AUish? It's been awhile since I read the myth.)

...


It began a good idea, as many things do. He found his father, convinced his father that he was his father, and then made one simple request: to prove his love, Father must grant him leave to drive the chariot of the sun across the sky.

It is a simple thing. And Father’s guilt was great, for he granted his leave, though apprehension was plain upon his face.

Never in his life had Phaeton held so much power in his hands. Faster, he urged the horses. And faster still. He laughed his away across the sky, the sun following him.

MCU, Steve/Darcy, protection

MCU Fill: Best Foot Forward

[scribblemyname]

When Darcy said it was time for Steve to meet her parents, it was a big deal. He wanted everything to be perfect.

Darcy caught him in the middle of his frantic packing, discarding one suit for another, removing her favorite shirt from his bag...

"Not happening, soldier," she teased and put it back.

"It has a hole," Steve protested. "It's starting to wear out."

"From all the love." Darcy grinned and put her hand on it to hold it where it was when he tried to move it again. "It's just my parents. Don't worry, soldier. I'll protect you."

NCIS, Abby/McGee, second first date

[marlex.livejournal.com]

any, any, waterfall

Fill: Disney, Ariel/Pocahontas

[fresh-brainss.livejournal.com]

Pocahontas stood at the edge of the cliff, overlooking the white waters below. She looked sharply until she saw a flash of bright red swoop in and out of the foam.

She smiled and took a deep breath, diving straight down, the wind rushing through her hair and the mist spraying her neck. She cut the water neatly, the falls roaring around her, and used her strong legs to swim out to calmer waters.

“You shouldn’t do that,” Ariel chided, popping up next to her.

Pocahontas wrapped her arms around her mermaid. “It’s the easiest way to get your attention.”

Forever, Henry+/Jo, drunk

Fill:

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

“Come on, Henry, just a few more steps and we’re almost there.” Jo’s voice was a combination of irritation and affection.

“But this looks a good place to sit. All nice and comfy.”

“No! It will be hard and there’s broken glass lying around.”

“But, Jo-o-o!”

“It’s only as far as the corner and then you can have a nice cup of coffee.”


“Don’t want coffee, want more beer!”

“Give me your key, so I can unlock the door.”

“No! Won’t!”

“I’ll have to knock Abe up.”

“Don’t tell Abe!”

“It’s okay. The light’s still on. Let’s get you inside.”

[marlex.livejournal.com]

Wreck-It Ralph, any, chocolate

[tigriswolf]

Author’s choice, author’s choice, there will be a day when I no longer love you

Fill

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (AU. Passion'verse)

Angelus knew this was coming from the moment he'd turned that useless, presumptuous fool. He took the first punch, but didn't allow her a second hit. "Let me guess. Wyndham forgot to give you my gift."

After a year spent among vampires, Buffy's snarl sounded bone-chillingly authentic. Such a feral beast, hidden inside this girl. "I wanted peace with the Council!"

"And they were betraying you!"

"I had a plan, and now you've ruined it!" she shouted back. "I should give them your head, to placate them."

"But you won't."

"No," Buffy agreed, eyes narrowed. "But one day I might."

[tigriswolf]

author’s choice, author’s choice, the difference between blood kin and family

Fill: the Flash, Joe West

[helsinkibaby.livejournal.com]

"You're just a kid. My kid."

Joe doesn't remember the exact words Barry replies with, something to do with Joe not being his father, something that hurt like hell. 

Because as far as Joe's concerned, eleven years ago, he walked into the Allen house a dad of one and came out a dad of two. Attended two sets of parent teacher conferences, checked two sets of homework. Cleaned up after two sick kids and two well ones. Took pictures at two sets of high school and college graduations. 

He's got two kids and he's never let anyone tell him different. 

[tigriswolf]

author’s choice, author’s choice, I’m puttin’ on my best show

Fill: Sleepy Hollow, Jenny (Jenny/Frank)

[helsinkibaby.livejournal.com]

Six weeks later, Jenny's trying to get on with her life. She finds her highest heels and her tightest skirt, puts her best face forward and lets down her hair, even calls upon Abbie to be her wingman. She's ready for some fun of the non-Apocalyptic variety, ready to dance and smile and flirt and be young again. 

Except Abbie's a no-show and while Hawley and the bartender are cute, their smiles aren't the one she wants to see.

That smile is buried near Frederick's Manor in an unmarked grave and she misses it more than she ever thought possible.

[tigriswolf]

Historical, author’s choice, if any one war had never happened

Fill: American War of Independence

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

The old men looked sombre. They had seen the way the rivalry between European powers had spread to Africa and parts of Asia. Now their own continent was being armed by its European overlords. Britain, France and Spain had carved out their share of the land and soon, what had once been deemed petty squabbles across the Atlantic Ocean, was going to turn to gunfire, blood and death. Everywhere across the continent men were swearing allegiance to the Kings of England, France or Spain. The carnage that had already begun in Europe was about to take hold in the Americas.

[tigriswolf]

Author’s choice, author’s choice, “If it helps… you never had a chance.”

Fill: FAKE, Dee/Ryo: Never Had A Chance [PG-13]

[bk_forever]

Sprawled bonelessly in the afterglow, Dee smirked at his partner, now his lover. Ryo looked shagged out.

“If it helps,” Dee told him smugly, “you never had a chance; I always get my man. Not that you made it easy for me.”

“So it was inevitable I’d fall for your charms, was it?” Ryo asked sleepily.

“Yup. Just took longer than I would’ve liked.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean…”

Dee cut him off. “Quit apologising, dope. Anyway, you’re worth it. Just so you know, now I’ve got you, I’m never lettin’ you go.”

Ryo smiled contentedly. That suited him just fine.

Sherlock, Sherlock/John, the code

Fill

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Sherlock finished examining the crime scene, smiled politely at Lestrade and turned to John.

“Little Purlington,” he whispered urgently.

John stared at him. “Now?”

“Yes!”

John shrugged. He grabbed Sherlock, dipped him and proceeded to kiss him long and passionately.

“Um..?” said Lestrade.

Eventually the two men broke apart, and Sherlock glared at John.

“Not ‘Blue Anchor’! ‘Little Purlington’! ‘I am about to do something illegal; distract Lestrade’.”

“Oh, right,” said John.

And he grabbed Lestrade and began to kiss him long and passionately.

Sherlock’s eyes went very round.

Then he shrugged, and strode off to appropriate some important evidence.

Person of Interest, Harold Finch/John Reese, declaration

Fill:

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Reese had decided: today would be the day. Today he was going to tell Finch how much he meant to him. He had rehearsed the words in his head. He would even have written them down if he hadn’t been afraid Shaw would find them. Because the only thing worse than bottling out would be Shaw knowing he’d bottled it.

He reached the library and gave a sigh of relief when he found Harold was alone. He took a deep breath and then stopped. He couldn’t say anything.

Finch looked up smiling. “Would it help if I said I know?”

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

The Wild Wild West, Jim/Artie, Artie is oblivious

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Person of Interest, Finch/Reese, hinting is the best he can manage
