classics_lover, and I continue to be your host for the week. Today's theme is Episode Titles, prompts have to take the form of the title of an episode of something (from the same fandom, or from a different fandom, you decide!)
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...
☺ Iron Man movies, Tony/Pepper, The One With The Princess Leia Fantasy
☻ Author's choice, any rarepair, An Affair to Forget
☺ Star Trek (TOS), any +/ any, Platonish
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.

"Look at the Princess," the people say, "she will marry a handsome Prince."
"Look at the Princess," the people say, "buy none may touch her."
She slips her jesses on a dark, moonless night, and makes her way to the house of the Crone.
"Help me," she begs, "they look at me, and look at me, and do not see the trap I have been born into."
The Crone pauses for a moment, considering. She thrusts a burlap bundle at the beautiful girl. "Wear this," she tells the Princess," and you will be invisible. You will be able to escape unnoticed."
The Princess thanks the Crone profusely, kisses her on the cheek and asks how she can repay the kindness. The Crone refuses gold, silver, coin and jewels.
The Princess returns to her ivory tower before her guards notice her absence, assures them that she is there, in the cage, alive if not entirely well. Once she has privacy she opens the burlap bundle to discover... more burlap. It does not look the way she imagined a Cloak of Invisibility would appear.
Having discarded her own clothes and now attired in sack-cloth, the Princess checks her appearance in the mirror. No longer does she appear to be the most beautiful woman in all the land, but, instead she has the look of a peasant. In the cold light of day she realises that her position and trimmings were what the People saw when they saw the most beautiful woman in all the land. Her own face was pretty enough, but in truth it was but a pretty bow on a gown, part of the whole but a minor aspect of the whole.
As the Palace erupts in panic at the Princess' kidnapping, a humble peasant girl walks out of the servants' door and into the wider world. She is ill-prepared for life outside her tower, but she is willing to learn.
And so, Once Upon A Time, a peasant girl lived her life.
