Wednesday: Texting, Texting

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I’m evil_little_dog, your fill-in hostess for the week, and today's theme is Texts From Right Now. Prompts can be anything but all fills should be in the form of a text response - either handwritten notes, texting, letters, 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...
+ Fullmetal Alchemist, Alphonse Elric+Any, Describing Xing via letters can be difficult.
+ MCU, the Avengers or the X-Men, I hate texts.
+ The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper+Any (or ensemble), It's really inconsiderate of you to not respond to my texts.

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.

"Where can we find hot girls?" is their question, and it's a moronic one but she's got nothing better to do, so.

She means to display "Lakers' Basement," but accidentally puts an R as she was spelling out the basement part (what? The letters are right next to each other!), and is desperately trying to figure out how to communicate a backspace button. Unfortunately, this particular group of drunk frat boys in the middle of a hazing prank don't wait around for her and they go off swaying in search of "Lakers Bar." The minute the door closes she chucks that stupid pointer through a window in frustration. Not again. She was so close this time.

(Lakers Bar turns out to be the front for a drug cartel and all six boys die gruesomely. She huffs--serves them right for messing around with a Ouija board.)

Unknown Number, Reno/Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)

[creepy_shetan]

(I thought this would go in a much sillier direction... and follow a shorter path...)


21:38 | Unknown: Hey Vince! Where are you?

21:40 | Vincent: Yuffie? Did you get a new number?

21:41 | Unknown: Awww Vinny nooooo

21:41 | Unknown: Don't ever call me that

21:42 | Vincent: Who is this?

21:45 | Unknown: Someone who owes you a drink

21:47 | Vincent: Reno, how did you get this number?

21:48 | Reno: You remember! And that's not important

21:48 | Reno: Where are you?

21:49 | Vincent: Alone. Where are you?

21:50 | Reno: Where do you think? Tifa says hi

21:52 | Vincent: Did you copy my number from her PHS?

21:52 | Reno: Nope now get over here

21:54 | Vincent: I'm not in Edge.

21:55 | Reno: THEN GET HERE

21:55 | Vincent: Why?

21:57 | Reno: I owe you

21:57 | Reno: YES I DO

21:58 | Vincent: Okay. Why pay me back now, Reno?

22:01 | Reno: I want to see you

22:02 | Reno: Where are you?

22:06 | Reno: Vincent?

22:07 | Vincent: Tomorrow.

22:07 | Reno: What? You're in the future?

22:08 | Vincent: I'll be in Edge tomorrow. Will you?

22:08 | Reno: No joke? Yeah yes well I can be

22:09 | Vincent: Okay. Don't be hungover, drunk, or bleeding at 20:00.

22:09 | Reno: YES but awww Vince you hurt me

22:09 | Reno: I'm a professional yo

22:10 | Reno: And a gentleman

22:10 | Reno: I'll buy you that classy old stuff you like

22:10 | Reno: Not the crap Cloud drinks, that lightweight

22:11 | Vincent: Stop texting me, Reno.

22:12 | Vincent: And stop looking through Cloud's PHS while he's unconscious.

22:13 | Reno: Awww but it's his fault for leaving it there and oh so other times are okay right?

22:13 | Vincent: No.


(What is this, self. Vincent wouldn't text anyone for 35 minutes. XD;; There's no way Reno's semi-mostly-drunk texts would be that coherent, either.)

any, any +/ any, conversations through sticky notes

MCU, Jane Foster/Darcy Lewis – Sticky Notes

[megan-moonlight.livejournal.com]

I hope MCU is okay :)
_____

Surprisingly, it all started when Jane had left a note stuck to Darcy’s computer, reminding her that she had a meeting with Clint and Sam, since someone had to decide whose cupcakes were better, and they had needed one more person to judge their efforts. Darcy could never say no to tasting cupcakes.

In response Darcy had left a sticky note in the middle of Jane’s computer’s monitor, promising to bring some baked goods with her.

After that their sticky notes conversations became much more regular. Somehow Jane often managed to forget her phone when she was focused on working and her projects, so Darcy started to leave sticky notes on folders and other objects she knew Jane used most often. It was a lot of fun. Their exchanges turned into a habit pretty quickly. Darcy began to leave notes for Jane over the lab, for all kinds of reasons, even if it was only to draw a quick smiley face on a yellow piece of paper to make Jane smile.

Left to get us some milkshakes. The results you asked for are on my table OX

Thank you.

ILY ♥ OXOX

*

Erik’s rolling his eyes at me. Try telling bad physics jokes around him and watch his face OX

Very mature.

I know, right? OX

*

The sticky notes became useful also when for some reason Darcy couldn’t be there when Jane needed cheering up, or distraction when something didn’t go well with her research. Sometimes even leaving a single sticky note on Jane’s papers or folders could cheer her up, so Darcy kept leaving them. She liked seeing Jane smile whenever she picked up one of the notes, the expression on her face softening slightly when she was finished reading them. Writing the cheesiest lines on the notes worked best then, and Darcy kept choosing the brightest, flashiest colors for them, too.

You must be made of uranium and iodine because all I can see is U and I together OXOX

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love OX

Do you have 11 protons? Cause you’re sodium fine OX

Really?

The Internet is an awesome place OX

*

Darcy found out that Jane had kept almost all of the sticky notes by accident, when Jane asked her to bring her one of the folders with notes from Erik. She opened the largest drawer of the desk, finding about a hundred of colorful notes there. That night Darcy insisted on ordering take-out for supper and warned Erik not to interrupt them. It was a good night.

When Darcy woke up in the morning Jane was gone, but she found a small note stuck to her pillow instead.

I will be back at 10AM. I’ll bring breakfast. I love you.

any, any m/m or f/f, love letters

Fill: Stargate Multiverse, Evan Lorne/Clone!Jack

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

It took Asuka a while to realize that the little sticky notes being exchanged on the pillar outside of the aerospace engineering lab on level seventeen were, in fact, love letters. She’d been drawn, at first, because of the handwriting. One of the lovers had beautiful old-fashioned school-teacher cursive, graceful and exacting at the same time. The other lover had perfectly neat draftsman print. If Asuka hadn’t known better, she’d have thought that the notes had been printed on a printer, but she had no idea how one put a sticky note through a printer, and also printed notes wouldn’t include neat little sketches of coffee cups, wrenches, calculators, rulers, compasses, what looked like a drone, a jumper, and some airplanes. While Asuka had spent the last year and a half dealing with a lot of Air Force officers, she was in no way equipped to identify the models of any of the craft.

Need help. Bring coffee. Miss you, Cursive had written.

Below it was written a reply from Draftsman. Just the way you like it. Miss you too, and a little drawing of a coffee cup.

The next sticky note down read, from Cursive, Might kill others but have deadline and am too young and pretty for prison. Also you would miss me. Send chocolate. Drafstman’s reply was, Much chocolate. Please have mercy on them, and a drawing of a wrench with cartoon swoosh marks, like it was being swung.

The next note down from that was Cursive’s, You are beautiful and terrible. All hail. I need your math skills. Or just to see your face. Draftsman’s response was a little sketch of a calculator and, Flattery will get you everywhere. And remember, the answer is always 42.

The notes were papered up and down the pillar, and Asuka noticed, as people went in and out of the lab, they pretended they didn’t see the notes at all. Neither did people walking by in the hallway.

Asuka was incredibly curious, so she staked out the lab a couple of days later - the notes had been cleared away and more were appearing in their place - and she saw. Dr. O’Neill, who was indeed young and pretty, sticking a note to the pillar. There was a holler from inside the lab (Get your ass back in here, O’Neill, no one leaves till this is done!) and he darted back inside. As soon as the door was shut, Asuka prowled closer. Dr. O’Neill had lovely cursive.

We’re in work quarantine. Will send word when it’s safe to enter. Don’t forget about me.

Asuka had brought her datapad with her so she could sit in the lab opposite and work and still keep an eye on the pillar. About half an hour later, one of the many uniformed Atlantis personnel passing by the lab paused, studied the note. It was none other than Major Lorne. He bit his lip, expression thoughtful, then went on his way. He returned after another half hour carrying a thermos of coffee and a lovely woven basket full of chocolate, red bean candies, spiced popcorn, which he laid reverently outside the door, like an offering at a temple, and then he fished a pen out of his pocket, wrote a reply to the note. As soon as he was gone, Asuka read it.

I’ll never forget you.
