Dies Martis - Lyrics

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Hey, guys! I'm still doreyg, and I must say that I was very pleased with how yesterday went! Honestly, I'm going to be clearing out my inbox for weeks at this rate. The theme today will probably be a little less popular, but hopefully just as fun, as it is: lyrics. Pick out your favourite lyrics, or just any lyrics you think fit, and apply them to your fandoms/pairings/characters!

(If you want to add the artists/song titles that would be much appreciated. New music is always good!)

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.
If your prompt or fill contains anything that can be a trigger for the reader, please add a warning for that to give the reader the chance to decide if they want to read or not.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing. 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

Examples!...
+ Batman: TAS, The Joker/Batman,

So what you trying to do to me
It's like we can't stop we're enemies
But we get along when I'm inside you
You're like a drug that's killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I'm inside you (Animals - Maroon 5)

+ The Flash (TV), Barry Allen/Caitlin Snow,

You keep his shirt
He keeps his word
And for once you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts (You Are In Love - Taylor Swift)

+ Superman (Any), Lex Luthor/Clark Kent,

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning and the breath before the phrase
"Have you ever felt this way?" (Glitter in the Air - P!nk)

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.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out the just created Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet. 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.

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. Because, let's face it, LJ'S Advanced Search is about as efficient as an elephant trying to become a prima ballerina.

Have fun!

FILL: Angel the series, Angel/Cordelia Chase, Warning Major Character Death

[geckogirl89.livejournal.com]

(Set during 5.12 You're Welcome. Also references a few scenes in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.)

The first time Cordelia had seen Angel's smile had been after Buffy defeated the master when the group was standing in the library of Sunnydale High. Angel was already salty goodness without the smile, and with it, he was even cuter.

But it was nothing compared to later, when they were at the Halloween party at the Bronze and had gotten to talking because Devon had flaked on her and Buffy hadn't shown up yet. She actually made him laugh and grin with her description of the terrible seats in Devon's car and that had been a sight to behold.

In Sunnydale, she hadn't really gotten a chance to know Angel because he was Buffy's paramour and she only had a tenuous connection to the Scoobies at best. But that changed in L.A. when they became best friends, and then...

And then...

And then, nothing, because when they could have had the chance to become more than best friends, Cordelia missed the signs at first. Later, when she was no longer blind, she was manipulated into ascending to the higher realms instead of meeting him to talk that night.

She remembers her own pain filled voice asking, "Why does this have to be now?" She recalls her acceptance of what she believed was her duty, what happened after when she returned to Earth, first with no memories and then later as the husked-out shell for Jasmine. She tries not to think of that year, but it's still there, sitting like a terrible weight between her and all of her friends, the fact that a monster wore her face to hurt everyone Cordelia cared about.

When she became friends with Angel and learned just how deep his guilt and sorrow ran, she was determined to make him stop brooding all the damn time. Cordelia was proud to say that over their time together, she had gotten more than a few laughs and smiles out of him. Sometimes, it was just a simple close-lipped smile, but on other occasions, she had made Angel laugh or grin more brightly than she ever would have expected from him, more than she thought his introverted and ruminating demeanor would allow.

(Angel hasn't had many reasons to smile this past year. Cordelia tries not to think about that either.)

This last day was to set him back on his path, but it's for her too. She cherishes the smiles that have been on his face the past couple of days, because she knows that she put them there. When Angel says that he's more confident now about getting through all of this, she can tell that he believes it.

That's why she hates this next part, when she is forced to break his heart.

The grief etched on his face when she tells him she must leave is too much for Cordelia to stand. She smiles when she says goodbye to him in the vain hope that it might make Angel look less miserable, but Angel must be able to tell how fake it is. She was never that good an actor, and she's practically on the verge of crying herself.

That's why she turns back instead of walking away. She can't her last memory of Angel be one where he's so depressed. And maybe there's a part of her that's still selfish, that wants what she wanted that first night she saw him in the Bronze, one, genuine kiss from Angel. But now she wants it even more. Now she knows that one kiss or even a thousand kisses will never be enough, not when she has to leave him.

Before their lips meet, Angel is grinning, and he's smiling when the telephone rings and she pulls away to give him an Eskimo kiss. She sends him off to go answer the telephone call, and there's a small part of her that's glad she won't have to see his face once he receives the news.

"Oh, and, you're welcome." Cordelia gives Angel one last tiny smile, so much like his own, and it's filled with sadness and a longing she never really got to express. And then she's gone.

I'm a phoenix in the water
A fish that's learned to fly
(Home - Gabrielle Aplin)

Mini Fill: The Faculty; Marybeth (the alienqueen)

[prisca1960.livejournal.com]

I feel like a phoenix in the water. Like a fish that has learned to fly.

The impossible is happened. I'm fallen in love. In love with the most beautiful creature, I've ever seen. His name is Zeke, Zeke Tyler, his hair is always a bit messy, his eyes are dark and hazelnut-brown. And his smile ... his smile leaves me helpless.

I'm just an extraterrestrial being in the body of a pretty young girl. And I'm not supposed to put my task into question. But how can I destroy his beauty? How can I take him over and force him into a life of slavery, loneliness, and endless pain?

The moment our lips met gives me the answer: When I only can save him by sacrificing myself, I will do it without hesitation.

Shane (novel), future!fic, gen

[tigriswolf]

(Shane is my favorite book. I hate the movie.)

...

He knows that if Shane were still around, he'd suggest another way. Shane had tried to leave the life, and they'd provided him a respite, for a time, until violence had to be done. Shane saved them, and Bob knows that Ma and Pa still miss him, still talk about him sometimes.

Bob learns to use guns because he misses Shane. Not just to hunt or for defense, like Pa. Bob teaches himself trick shooting, though he doubts he’ll ever be as good as Shane.

The next time someone comes to town looking for a fight, Bob’ll be able to protect everyone, like Shane.

(Despite how much it hurt Shane, he made it look so easy. But it’s not that easy. Shane tried to find something new because it was so easy. And if he were here –

But he’s not here. Bob, and Ma, and Pa are, and Bob’s getting so good.

The only real thing wrong with you, Shane once told Chris, is that you’re young. And that’s somethin’ time can always cure.

Bob’s young yet. And the next time someone looking for trouble comes to town…)

Any. any.

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
Happy Endings - Mika

Highlander, Methos/Kronos (amongst others)

[tigriswolf]

Methos loves each of his lovers like it is the last time he'll ever feel this way. He gives each of them a full life -- all of that life. Each of them is the whole world... until they die and he moves on.

Always, he moves on.

None of his lovers are immortal, for therein lies a future calamity.

Immortality is a gift; he sees scores of young ones who do not understand. Immortality is the chance to learn and to grow, to evolve into something better. There are many things he teaches his students and the second lesson is to never love an immortal. (The first, of course, is survival above all else.)

But once in all his years has Methos made the mistake of giving himself to another immortal. They loved fiercely, dangerously – and when Methos saw the long years of eternity stretching before them, he made a choice that is not among his countless regrets.

Methos trapped his brother instead of killing him. He knew that somewhere in the future, he would come to hurt because of it, but Methos could no more kill Kronos for good than Kronos could kill him.

Love, the passion and infatuation, two (or more) hearts joined together to beat and bleed – give it to mortals. With mortals, it dies and you can move on. Dalliances with mortals are fine, Methos counsels Byron (and so many others), but do not give them more than that. Love them because they will die and be gone.

The younger Highlander swings and Methos watches Kronos fall. Kronos, all that he was, flies to Methos and nestles inside, where he has been for longer than can be counted. On his knees, Methos weeps for what once was and what can never be again, his quickening burning around Kronos’. Oh, my brother, my brother -- no words could convey what once was, what they had been, what they will never be again.

Love mortals, Methos has told all of his students. Alexa is dying when they meet, as all mortals are, but her death will come sooner than it should. He loves her, he embraces her – he even tries to heal her, though of course it fails. He loves her as though he will never love again.

He will, of course. He will love mortal after mortal after mortal, until –

Until what? Kronos whispers inside. Of all the quickenings, Kronos is the clearest. It is almost like he stands at Methos’ shoulder and speaks the words aloud, one hand at Methos neck, another over his heart.

Love mortals, Methos will say if asked, because they will leave you. Loving those who stay hurts too much.

Sports Night, Dan/Natalie

The offer on the table is one of the best Dan's ever received, quite possibly one of the best he's ever going to receive. His agent, he knows, is ready to bang his head off his desk at Dan's perceived lack of ambition but Dan doesn't really care. 

He knows he's doing the right thing. 

Even when Natalie tries to persuade him otherwise. "This is a great offer, Danny," she tells him. "You could win awards with them... an Emmy even."

"I know." He is perfectly calm as he holds her hand in his. 

"Then why..."

"Because it's in LA, Nat... clear across the country. I don't want to leave New York." A beat. "I don't want to leave you."

Natalie's cheeks flush and she looks pleased, but also like she's trying very hard not to look pleased. "We'd make it work," she protests without any real conviction. 

"We shouldn't have to," he says. "You've just started doing on camera work here... Quo Vadis give us all the editorial control we could ask for... our back room staff is the best... I love Sports Night, Nat, I've loved it since it was a third place show on a fourth place network... I don't want to leave."

She smiles, slides into his lap and winds her arms around his neck. "Even if you don't win an Emmy?" 

He chuckles. "Even if I never win an Emmy. Even if the Giants never win the pennant. Even if I had to cover soccer for the rest of my days, it wouldn't matter. My job is my job." He runs his fingers through her hair, twists a lock around his fingers. "But me... I am the husband of Natalie Hurley Rydell... and that's all I want to be."

This time, there is no question about her smile; it is ear to ear. "Smooth talker."

He arches an eyebrow. "It has been made known to me on a variety of occasions. Mostly by you."

Natalie rolls her eyes. "Take me home, Danny."

He doesn't have to be asked twice.

The Librarians, Ezekial Jones/ Jake Stone,
There might have been a time
When I would give myself away

I didn't give a damn
But now here we are
So whataya want from me

It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
