Tuesday: Emergency

[pr3tz3ls.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m pr3tz3ls and today's theme is Emergency. Prompts can be any kind of emergency from running late to the end of the world.

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 Superhero fandom, any, every 'work related' visit to the emergency room is trouble
+ Leverage, Hardison +/ Elliot (+/ Parker), lack of internet does not mean the world is ending, Hardison
+ Big Bang Theory, any, severe weather warning/alert

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.

MCU, any, we have the Stark-sized emergency, the Hulk-sized emergency, and the Captain America-sized emergency, which would you rather?

no fill (yet)

... I know you probably want something funny or crackish, but I have a glimmer of an idea that is angsty and possibly tragic.

I'll take it.

1/2: the fight in the dog - post-Cap2, AUish, darkish

[tigriswolf]

"Do you know what you're doing?" Stark asks calmly through the phone. Steve's a little surprised, to be honest - he'd expected Stark to rant and rave and already be on the way after him.

"I do," Steve tells him. He's done it before, after all: chased Bucky all the way to Hydra and torn Hydra down to save him. He's going to do it better this time, though. There'll be nothing left when he's done but freshly-salted earth.

“Do you need help?” Stark asks. There’s machinery whirring in the background, what sounds like Jarvis talking to someone.

“For the clean-up after,” Steve admits. “But Stark – I don’t expect people to understand, or to condone what I’m doin’. That’s not gonna stop me.”

“I get it, Cap,” Stark says. He laughs, short and sharp. “He’s your Rhodey and your Pepper all in one convenient package, right? So burn it down, Captain Rogers. Burn it all down. I’ll be there to clean up the mess after.”

Not for the first time, Steve’s glad he and Stark are on the same side.

Banner is waiting at Steve’s first choice for his campsite. He wants to go rampaging in right now but that won’t help Bucky – he’s tired, and he’s still got a bit of healing left to do. In the morning, though, he’s going to begin the assault, and nothing Banner says will change his course.

“Do you remember when I said I was always angry?” Banner asks, handing an energy bar to Steve. Steve nods, so Banner continues, “I’ve been angry for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is yelling at my dad for making my mom cry.” Banner chuckles. “All that did, of course, was give him a new target. I know anger, Captain. I know rage. And I know when a man is drowning in it.” He throws a glance in the direction of the base and says, “You go in there angry, you’ve already lost.”

Steve smiles. The ache in his leg has finally faded. Sunup is in two hours. They have to know he’s coming. “I lost seventy years ago, Dr. Banner,” he says, “when I didn’t jump after Bucky.” He rises to his feet. “You gonna be my distraction or not?”

Banner sighs. “You know how this is gonna end, don’t you?”

Steve picks up the shield.

Very, very nice. I love you for this and that was totally what I thought was a CA sized problem. Love, love, love and THANK you!

I'm glad you like it! The second half's been added.

2/2: the fight in the dog - post-Cap2, AUish, darkish

It’s not easy. It’s not clean. Natasha’s off on a quest, and Sam’s been sent home with broken ribs, and Thor and Barton are who knows where, and Stark’s waiting, and Banner’s tearing up one side of the complex while Steve forces his way through another.

There are two ways for this to end. Bucky surrendered himself to the American government three days ago, even after Steve had said, You touch him, you die. But he let Bucky go. It was what Bucky wanted.

The agents that secreted him away, though, they’re Hydra straight to the core, and they’re all going to die.

There are two ways for this to end.

If Bucky is alive, Steve will be merciful and make the deaths quick, and confine the deaths to this base, until Bucky is ready.

If Bucky is not alive…

If Bucky is not alive.

Steve hefts the shield with one hand, breaks a man’s neck with the other, and goes down down down.
