Friday: Hurt/Comfort
Hello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
username and today's theme is Hurt/Comfort - pure and simple. :) Prompts can be anything that even remotely involves one character being hurt or suffering or sick or traumatized in some way, and another character being all loving and protective and comforting. If you're here, you know what to do. ;)
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...
+ Supernatural, Sam Winchester/Gabriel - past sexual trauma
+ Supernatural, Dean Winchester/Crowley - Dean did a little more than push Crowley around while he was a demon
+ White Collar, Peter Burke/Neal Caffrey/(Elizabeth Burke) - prison nightmares
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.

Fill: The Flash, Joe/Caitlin
What's one more lie when she's been lying all day?
She's seen them looking at her curiously, because they know and she know she's not herself. They've even asked and she's told them she's fine.
But she's not fine.
She's not fine because she's always been good at remembering dates and today is the anniversary of the day that Ronnie proposed to her, and every time she looked at her ring today, she remembered that day, remembered how happy she was, how she'd been looking forward to their future together.
She misses Ronnie every day, for a hundred different reasons and more. But today, she misses him because he could read her with one look, know what was wrong with her and what she needed. If he was here now, he'd be pulling her into his arms, holding her tight and that's all she wants now.
No words, no questions, just a hug.
She doesn't know when she began to cry, only realises she is when she hears a voice behind her. "Caitlin, hey... I was looking for Barry, you know where he is?"
It's Joe and if he notices anything odd in talking to her back, he doesn't show it. She takes a deep breath, tries to keep her voice light as she looks down at her keyboard without really seeing it. "He left a while ago," she says and she's proud of how her voice doesn't wobble much. "Did you try his cell?"
"He's not picking up." The voice is getting closer and there's a concerned note in there that concerns Caitlin. Then he's standing beside her, close enough to touch her if he reached out. "Caitlin, are you ok?"
She opens her mouth to lie just one more time but it's like something in her breaks and she can't speak. She can't look at him either so she just nods, hopes it's enough to fob him off.
He doesn't say anything for a moment, just lets out a long exhale of breath. "C'mere," he says then, voice gruff and gravelly and before she can think, he's pulling her into his arms. Sheer surprise has her going willingly, her head tucking into his chest like it belongs there, his arms wrapping around her and holding her tightly.
For a second, she does nothing, arms hanging limply by her sides. Then she closes her eyes, takes a deep breath and brings them up, clasping her hands together as she loops her arms around his waist.
He doesn't say a word, just holds her until she's strong enough to let go.
