comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daria234 and today's theme is Fairy Tales and Legends. Prompts can be anything related to fairy tales, legends, etc.: fairy tale AUs, how characters became legendary, how characters are similar to fairy tale characters, etc.
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...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Faith Lehane/any, poison apple
Marvel Cinematic Universe, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, Robin Hood AU
Agents of SHIELD, Skye, her favorite movie is Mulan
Leverage, Parker/Hardison/Eliot, Hansel & Gretel & the Hitter
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.

I apologise for the terrible pun

Date: 2015-01-26 10:49 pm (UTC)“What?” Jason asked with a frown. He'd been about to clean his gun, which he didn't do around Darcy unless he wanted to be tased, but he'd thought she was off with that girl Jane and some losers called the Avengers and wouldn't be back for days. He took the gun with him, deciding not to take any chances in case this was some kind of trick.
“Do you think I'm pretty?” Darcy repeated, piling her hair on top of her head and studying herself in the mirror. “Maybe cute, but not pretty, right?”
Jason leaned against the wall, watching her. “Are you kidding me? Yes, you're cute. You're hot. You're sexy. And beautiful. Who the hell made you think you weren't? This that Stewart guy again, because I will make sure he gets hit by a train this time.”
“It's not a guy,” Darcy said. She turned away from the mirror. “It's just that there's this huge party being held for the Avengers. Bunch of important people who saved the world are gonna be there, all those politicians and celebrities and... me.”
“Do yourself a favor and skip the galas. Trust me, they suck.”
“What would you know about it?”
Jason snorted. “I got adopted by a rich guy, remember? The one advantage of being estranged from my 'family' is that I no longer have to go there and pretend to like it. That's what Dick and the replacement and the demon spawn do. Not me.”
“Right. Sorry. I forgot.” Darcy shook her head. “It's stupid, right? Me being so upset about being there? It's just that all those other people contributed something. They saved the world. Or they're famous. I'm just a political science major who's one claim to fame is that I tasered Thor.”
“You tasered Thor?”
“Don't get jealous now,” Darcy said with a grin. “I only tasered him once. You, on the other hand, I've tasered so many times I've lost count. But they were all fun.”
He laughed. “That's my girl.”
She smiled, but it didn't last. “I am going to look like an idiot next to all of those people. I don't even have a good dress.”
“We can fix that. Just ask Babs. She knows how to find the right dress for these things—and if she can't, she'll send one of the Birds of Prey to help.”
“The what?”
“The Birds of—Babs has a team of kick ass ladies—mostly ladies, anyway—who go around fighting the good fight and all that. We don't exactly travel in the same circles, but we've crossed paths a few times.”
“Wow. So not only was she Batgirl once, but she has her own team of superwomen,” Darcy said. “Dick's girlfriend is kind of awesome. Why are you with me again?”
Jason set down his gun and crossed over to her. “I am with you because you get me in ways other people wouldn't even try to, because you're funny and cute and good with a taser. I've done the superhero girlfriend thing before. It didn't end well. Then again, I did die, but that's the trade off. Joker killed me. He shot Babs and put her in a wheelchair. Being a superhero ain't cheap.”
“Joker did all that and he's still alive—how?” Darcy asked, folding her arms over her chest. “If it was up to me, he'd get tased. And not the teasing fun kind, but the kind that leaves them twitching after they're dead kind.”
“And that would be why I love you,” Jason told her, lifting her into his arms.
“So... you're going with me to this fancy ball thing, right? I mean, it won't be a fairy tale, I won't be a princess in a pretty gown and you would rather die than be my knight in shiny red armor, but I need you to be there, even if you hate it.”
He grunted.
“If we asked Dick and Barbara to come with us and make it easier for you?”
“That's not going to help. I'd be more likely to kill Dick after a few hours at a bad party.”
“You are not killing Dick,” she said. She bit her lip, thinking, and then grinned when she came up with an answer. “If you're very good at the party, we can act out our own fairy tale later—oh, but only if you tell me I'm the fairest one of them all.”
“You know you are—with or without your taser.”

Harry Potter, Draco/Ginny, No Fairy Tale
Date: 2015-03-23 06:15 pm (UTC)She couldn’t be his princess, they were from two different ends of society; it would never work between them. His parents would see to it that they couldn’t be together; they would ruin her family even more than they already were to keep them apart.
“This ain’t a fairy tale.”
They couldn’t ride off into the sunset like the stories she had read as a child, they had responsibilities, his responsibility to continue his line and her to her family. Her parents and brothers would never forgive her if she ran off with him.
“Goodbye Draco.”

Date: 2015-03-24 05:18 am (UTC)"The people need a king," Jack said, "And after all my failed coups, I'm not fit to be in the public eye." He smiled, just a hint of bitterness torquing his lips.
"Just fit to be the man behind the throne, calling all the shots," David said, allowing Jack to take off his jacket, then putting on the new one Jack handed him, finer looking, more fashionable, David guessed.
"It's a royal partnership, David. We're both in it together," Jack said, nodding at David's shoes disapprovingly.
David sighed and chucked off his shoes and took the new shoebox Jack gave him. He opened it to find delicate black leather in some imported brand that commoners weren't even allowed to buy.
"Why are these so narrow at the top," David grumbled, struggling to shove his foot in as he sat on a rather excessively ornate chair.
Jack got on one knee, took the shoe in one hand and David's leg in the other, as David sat, content to comply. With a graceful jerk of the hand, Jack pushed the shoe onto David's foot.
Jack looked up at David then and smiled. "See? We're working together already."
David watched him as he stood up. "I notice that working together means that even when you're on your knees, you're the one doing the controlling," he snarked.
"Isn't that always the way?" Jack asked, smirking. He turned away almost soon enough to miss David start to blush.
