comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
truthwritaslies and today's theme is Tantalus! Prompts can be "anything desired that is so close and yet just out of reach".
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...
Batman, Harley Quinn/ The Joker, "I want you to love me for real."
Hawkeye, Hawkeye + Pizza Dog, please drop the food on the floor, please drop the food on the floor, please drop the food on the floor
Daredevil, Wesley + Fisk, If he cannot be the tyrant, then he will be the power behind the throne
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.

And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it

Date: 2015-05-19 05:43 am (UTC)Avengers movieverse, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes,
What I really meant to say
Is I'm dyin' here inside
And I miss you more each day
There's not a night I haven't cried
And baby, here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
(And, that's what I really meant to say)
What I really meant to say
Is I'm really not that strong
No matter how I try
I'm still holdin' on
And here's the honest truth
I'm still in love with you

Date: 2015-05-19 08:35 am (UTC)And really, that's all Cedric had been when he'd died. Three years older than Harry at the time but a boy all the same.
Perhaps it was that Cedric was the first person he had really seen die with such stark finality. Perhaps it was the shock of Voldemorts true resurrection or the casual disrespect he and his minions showed the corpse.
But it is probably Cedric's youth that stands out so starkly. The sheer wasted potential of him. Another year or two or five might have made the difference, made him just another face accusing Harry of not doing enough, of not fighting hard enough, not taking the fight to Voldemort when he was still weak enough to need somebody's help.
On good nights, Cedric continuously turns empty eyes on Harry, impact with the ground pushing one last gasp from between barely parted lips. His hand falls limply down beside him, his wand falling to lie forgotten in the graveyard when Harry drags his corpse home.
On the bad ones Cedric is grown, with a partner that Harry can never clearly see, and he is happy. Happy until that hideous green spell hits him again and steals away all his potential years, his potential happiness. Until he's just a boy again: with graveyard dirt on his face and empty, empty eyes.

Date: 2015-05-19 08:51 pm (UTC)He did not ask. He never asked. Jason always knew if wanted, all he had to do was say so. One moment of weakness and he'd be Bruce's. One moment of weakness and he'd give up himself for a brief time of happiness. He can't stay Bruce's. To agree to all the demands and expectations and never be good enough was impossible for him. It was not in him to be anyone but himself anyone.
Bruce wanted Jason but he wanted what Jason was and what Jason could have been if not for death. He does not want Jason as he was now.
Jason ached and felt hollowed out with how much he wanted Bruce. To give into that want was to commit suicide and Jason already died once out of love. He did not have it in him to die for love again.
Working with Bruce, for those brief instances when Batman turned a blind eye to excessive violence and guns and Jason held himself back from killing, were the sweetest moments of torture. Everything he wanted and all the reasons he could not have it.
"Jason." I love you. Come home. Stay with me.
"Later Bruce." Love you too but, I can't.
