doreyg, and today I thought I'd go a little darker with our theme. Today your prompts must focus around A Softer World - this can mean the comics themselves, the text in the comics or even the captions. Whatever you want!
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
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Any, Any, I don't have time for frivolity. I have to hurry up and die.
+ Batman: TAS, Batman +/ any, You won't live forever in their memories / the way you treated them will
+ Star Trek: TNG, Any, My son the astronaut
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 helpful as a porcupine that thinks it can fly.
The website is here, in case you need any help. Have fun!

Date: 2015-01-22 12:02 pm (UTC)Highlander, Joe, anytime post Comes a Horseman
Date: 2015-05-11 07:29 pm (UTC)Joe wonders, sometimes, about how Mac actually sees Methos. It had been such a shock to learn that Adam Pierson, just a kid, helpless like a puppy that hadn't grown into himself yet, was actually Methos, the oldest immortal of all, a legend with so many conflicting stories that not even his own kind believed he existed.
It's a masterful deception. Of course it is. Five thousand years, maybe more...
When he stops to think about, which he tries not to do too often, Joe has to shudder in horror. How Mac can just shrug it off –
When Mac told Joe about the Horsemen, he sounded disgusted, betrayed, furious. Joe honestly wasn’t that surprised.
What they see when they look at Methos is what Methos wants them to see. Joe loves Mac, he really does, but they’re both infants compared to Methos, and judging Methos by any modern standard is futile.
Joe understands the depths a man can sink to, and he knows Mac does, too. Mac’s fought in so many wars… why he’s so harsh on Methos, well, Joe’s got theories but nothing Mac wants to hear, so he keeps them to himself.
Don’t make him an enemy, he wants to say. And, Don’t trust him too much.
Five thousand years… and Methos’ creed: Live. Grow stronger. Fight another day. He knows he can’t possibly see everything, won’t have the time to, and he just wishes that Mac actually understood what he sees when he looks at the lanky kid in the too-big sweatshirt, gulping beer like it’ll be taken away if he stops.
He’s pretty sure Duncan MacLeod will be dead before he ever truly sees.
