Dies Mercurii - A Picture Tells 1000 words

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Hi, dudes! I'm doreyg, and this is day three of me! (...Please ignore that.) Anyhow, today I thought I'd break from the whole word theme and go for something a little different: Picture Prompts. Pick any picture and match it to a fandom/pairing/character!

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

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 useful as a spoon in a nuclear power plant.

a friend of mine is doing her thesis on danse macabre! This is so cool :)

Fill, Original, Death Dancing

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

On the day of his death, she knew he'd return. It was almost as if he spoke to her directly - Wait, I'll be back. She hoped she was mistaken, but still, when his body came to her one year later, somewhat decomposed, but still so much in love with her, she gave in, and danced one last dance with him.

Except it wasn't the one dance. It was once a year. He'd dig himself from the grave, come and find her, and request - silently - a dance. It wasn't terrible, dancing with his body. He was still incredibly graceful, though she didn't think too hard on how the bones - the only bits left of his mortal form - managed to hold together, not only to climb from his grave, but also to walk to her, and request his dance.

Even after she married, after she had children (who should've been his), even after her grandchildren were born, he came, once a year, for his dance.

Until, finally, she was too old, too crippled, unable to dance. She couldn't see past the reach of her hands any more, could barely hear. But she knew he would be coming, any day now.

This time, she'd follow him back to his grave, and nothing would separate them again.

I'm torn between being terrified and sighing happily. But leaning toward the latter, really. :D

Both are good reactions, actually. :D You know me.
