comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caz251 and today's theme is AUs. Prompts today are all about alternate universes, have fun :)
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, College AU
Chuck, Chuck (+ or /) Bryce, Met through online rpg
Harry Potter/Sherlock, Harry (+ or /) Mycroft, Marriage contract.
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.

Date: 2015-06-02 11:58 am (UTC)Fill- New Friends, G (Harry Potter, gen)
Date: 2015-06-26 09:49 pm (UTC)Harry groaned, looking around helplessly. He had been dreading this part of college orientation. Most everyone had broken up into groups fairly quickly, but he wasn’t exactly great at socializing like this when he didn’t already know someone.
“Hi, want to join our group?” someone said from behind him.
He turned to see a smiling red-headed boy and a girl with bushy brown hair. They looked nice enough, he supposed, and it wasn’t like he had much other choice. “Sure,” he said, giving them a smile in hopes of not seeming too much like he was hating everything about his life at that moment.
“I’m Hermione Granger, poli sci major,” the girl said, holding out her hand for Harry to shake. “Technically a freshman, but I’m coming in with enough credits to be a sophomore.”
“I’m Ron Weasley,” said the boy, shaking Harry’s hand as well. “Undecided right now. I have twin brothers who are juniors here.”
“Nice to meet you,” Harry replied. “I’m Harry Potter, kinesthesiology major.”
“Potter?” Hermione asked, eyes going wide. “Like James Potter, best rugby forward in the school’s history who went on to play professionally?”
Harry scratched at the back of his head, feeling awkward. Figured this would come up, but he’d rather it had been later rather than sooner. “Yeah, he’s my dad,” he said.
“That’s amazing!” Ron exclaimed. He looked far more excited about it than Harry felt. “Are you trying out for the team? I bet you’ll be great. Four of my brothers have been on the team, so I’ve been practicing since I was a kid. Maybe we’ll be on the team together!”
“Yeah, that’d be great,” Harry said, suddenly feeling a little more optimistic about the next four years. It looked like he’d made two new friends already, so maybe it wouldn’t be as hard as he’d feared.

Date: 2015-06-02 12:11 pm (UTC)Fill- Pretty Strange, G (Helena/Vic)
Date: 2015-06-27 02:06 am (UTC)“Can I get that table?” the guy asked, pointing at the one no one ever wanted because it was a tiny thing set in a fairly dark corner. She’d seen people sit at it maybe twice since she’d started working at the restaurant.
“Uh, sure.”
She led him over to the table, holding back an amused laugh when he adjust the table and chair so he had his back to the corner and could see the rest of the room, including the front door. Looked like this guy was worried about something. She could only hope he wasn’t into something bad that he was bringing around to them. They had enough of that already.
The guy turned out to be a very polite customer, but a total weirdo. He examined everything she brought to the table very carefully, from the silverware to the actual food. She’d be offended, but she could tell he wasn’t trying to be a problem or anything like that.
“You’re pretty strange, you know,” she said near the end of the meal, hoping she wasn’t overstepping her bounds too much.
Thankfully he just laughed quietly, shaking his head a little. She smiled and grabbed his plate to take it back to the kitchens. When she returned, he was gone.
On the table was a hundred dollar tip and a tiny slip of paper with a phone number and the name Vic on it. He seemed pretty paranoid, so it probably went to a burner or something, but it looked like he was interested in her anyway. She shrugged and picked it up, tucking it into her apron. She’d had weirder boyfriends.

Date: 2015-06-02 06:17 pm (UTC)There's a rumour around the cardboard city today that the Turks are in town, and if anything has come with them to Midgar Edge from their lives under the plate, it's the new proverb that Turks mean work, repeated fatalistically from barstools while they mop floors and handed over with the pennies they get for carrying messages. None of them, perhaps, are quite old enough to know what Yuffie knows about why that is.
Maybe that's why there's more kids around than usual, why Yuffie doesn't even have to bother to pull the peak of her cap down over her eyes: these kids have flocked here from all over, from Mideel and Kalm and the icy north to fulfil Reeve's starry-eyed dream of rebuilding his city. Meanwhile the real powers that be hold their fort fast in Junon, and the only time they think of Mideel or the Sun Coast is when they're driving through and pay weary, unshaven men to clean their shoes while they buy and sell their livelihoods.
She should be in Junon now, actually. She can't go back to Wutai: her father is entertaining Rufus Shinra indefinitely in promise of gil for rebuilding the lands devastated by the Lifestream. He'd sold their integrity, their land, their resources, and Yuffie is coming to the slow, cold realisation that perhaps she is the only thing he has left to barter with Shinra.
Tifa has suggested, tentatively, that she might find it fruitful to visit Junon as only a ninja can: by stealth. Yuffie has never known true fear, but as a (mostly unwilling) member of AVALANCHE she has a healthy respect for Shinra soldiers. Since their merry band are still the top seven Shinra Most Wanted, the ruins of Midgar are ironically the safest place for them to be.
She has the wariness of the true survivor, and knows that a visit to Junon could well pay off: one tip-off to the media about any of Shinra's most unsavoury projects could send the remains of their shaky monopoly rolling into the mud. That's why she's still in Midgar.
She's not going to Junon on her own, and her plan is deviously simple. There is one man who has the skills to extract her if things go pear-shaped. Conveniently, he has also experienced Shinra's worst atrocities. The most difficult part will be convincing him to quit the Turks.
Again.
She smiles slyly to herself as she spots the limo approach the slum's cheapest bar, most notorious knocking shop and go-to place for cheap, anonymous information. Three suits get out, as is protocol: one stays behind as backup, and two go in and start knocking heads together until someone talks.
Her guy is still as a stone next to the driver door, one hand just slightly under the wing of his open jacket ready to draw, as any fool knows. She sucks in a breath, nods to herself. Now or never. She deliberately swaggers past, chewing on her gum and gurning extravagantly. Fakes a stumble right as she goes past him. He has both her wrists wrenched behind her back before her knees can hit the dirt, and he's hauling her up to pat her down for knives when she turns her head and winks at him.
"Hey, Vincent. Long time."

Date: 2015-10-29 04:31 pm (UTC)In his nightmares, Methos sees thousands of lives he could've lived, had he chosen differently. Walked a different path, stayed somewhere longer, waited to see the end of the battle before moving on.
The worst, perhaps, is the life where he never turned on Kronos. Never betrayed him, put him in the well. Where he stayed with his brothers and instead of a mere continent, they ruled the world, god-kings triumphant as no one had been before or would ever be again.
Kronos had so many dreams, Methos knows. He is now the only one who does.
But he never acknowledges in the nightmares, what he cannot escape knowing when awake, is that for all that Kronos wanted the four of them to rule the world, only Methos would've been any good at it. Silas would have faltered beneath the responsibility, honestly too simple to understand. Caspian would've bled the world dry until they ruled a husk with no people left. And Kronos... he hadn't the patience for anyone he considered lesser, and everyone was lesser save his brothers.
It would've been Methos' world to rule, and while he knows he would excel, he's always preferred the shadows.
In the nightmares of another life, he never admits what hurts so very much while awake: it all would have ended the same.
