Hemera Selenes: Incorrect Quotes

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Good news, everyone! I’m doreyg, hosting you all this week, and today's theme is gonna be Incorrect Quotes. Ever heard a quote from another fandom that you think would just go perfectly with your favourite characters? Now is the time to prompt it, for great fun and profit!

Examples of what I'm talking about can be found here and here. If you choose to use a quote from one of those pages, or from another Incorrect Quotes tumblr page, please link it to allow other people to search for stuff!

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 Beyond, Terry McGinnis(/Bruce Wayne), "Terry does love his yoghurt." (Brooklyn-99)
+ DCU, Edward Nygma/Bruce Wayne, “I tend to keep talking til someone stops me.” (Friends) (x)
+ The Flash (TV), Ronnie Raymond/Mick Rory/Martin Stein,  “They say that no man is an island. False! I am an island and this island is volcanic. And it is about to erupt. With the molten hot lava of strategy!” (x)

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.

Have fun you guys! :D

Fill: Vorkosigan Saga, Ivan + Byerly

"So, what are you lesser beauties planning for Valentine's Day?"

Ivan had managed to spend the entire day, up to this point, carefully avoiding thinking about the dreaded deadline, now looming terrifyingly close. Now all that careful effort came crashing down about his knees, and By had commandeered his wine bottle, to boot. Ivan reclaimed it to top off his glass, which he drank from with a little more speed than such a good wine deserved. Briefly satisfied, he looked grumpily at By across the table.

"Murder."

"That's the spirit." By raised his own glass in salute and sipped. "The Lady Tej is proving difficult to shop for, eh?"

Ivan slumped back in his chair. "I've no idea what she might like. We didn't exactly have an extended courtship." An idea occurred to him then, and he brightened slightly. "Do Jacksonians even have Valentine's Day?"

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble," By drawled, sounding nothing of the sort, "but it's a rather galactic holiday. Even thieves must love, and all that."

"Damn." Ivan went for the bottle, found it close to empty, and marched off into the kitchen for the cheap stuff. "So what are you and Rish doing, then?" he threw back over his shoulder.

"Very little, by mutual agreement." As Ivan rummaged through the cupboards, there was the distinctive sound from the next room of boots being propped up on the table. "I have several social engagements to fulfill that night, anyhow."

Which was, of course, code for parties to spy on, but Ivan chose not to bring it up as he returned with a bottle of the cheapest corner-store wine he could bear to be seen buying. He steadfastly ignored the boots on the table, briefly considered sweeping his own foot under By's precariously tipped chair as he passed, then thought better of it and settled back into his seat.

"One of these days I'm going to have to start asking you to bring your own wine when you come over," Ivan observed, refilling his glass and sliding the bottle across the table without prompting.

"I hardly drink a fraction of what you do," By pointed out, more amused than offended.

"Yes, but I always drink more when you're here."

"That's hardly my responsibility." By took a sip and grimaced faintly. "So. A gift for your lady wife. Flowers too overdone, I take it?"

Ivan nodded. "Jewelry, too. Besides, if she didn't find fault with my choice, Mamere certainly would."

"A romantic seaside getaway?"

"We do that practically every weekend anyway." Ivan stared glumly into his glass, as if the answer might any moment simply spring to view on the surface.

"Well, Lord Ivan, as much as it pains me to suggest such a thing, in my line of work . . . Have you considered asking the Lady Tej what gift, if any, she might like to receive?"

Ivan nearly choked. After several moments of sputtering, having expelled most of the wine from his windpipe, he mumbled, "That would be the smart thing to do, wouldn't it?"

By drained his glass, gazing at Ivan with raised brows over the rim as he did. "I rather think it would be."
