comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dreamsofspike and today's theme is Drabbles! Prompts can be anything, but all fills must be exactly 100 words. (Double fills, triple fills, etc, are fine.)
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...
+ Supernatural, Sam Winchester/Castiel - telling Dean the Impala is wrecked
+ Grimm, Nick Burkhart/Monroe - Nick gives Monroe a collar as a present
+ The Voice RPF, Blake Shelton/Adam Levine - holding hands for the first time in public
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: 2016-05-01 10:34 pm (UTC)"What the hell have you done," he asked.
"What you told me to do. I drove to the drugstore to get the medicine for Dean."
"And what's that?"
Sam pointed at the dent on the fender.
"And that?"
His eyes paused at the broken headlight than wandered to the scratches on the passengers door.
Castiel shrugged.
"Driving a car isn't as easy as it looks like."
Sam gasped for air.
"Wait. You have a license. Everyone has a license."
"I'm an angel, remember. A fallen angel."
"Oh shit! Dean will kill me. Or both of us. Maybe we should better think about it to emigrate."
For a split of a moment, the angel looked unsure.
"Do you mean that," he asked and clutched the bag with the meds that one could see the white of his knuckles.
"Emigrate whereto? I don't even own a passport."
Sam laughed.
"Don't worry, I guess we are lucky. Dean will have to stay in bed for the next days. I will call Bobby; he fixes the Impala before he's up again.
And in the meantime ..."
He paused and grinned.
"I will give you some driving lessons."

Date: 2017-03-28 12:37 am (UTC)He flips it open quickly. Inside is a collar made of soft black leather, a d-ring with a tag in the middle. Nick’s initials are stamped on the metal.
“You want me to…”
Nick shrugs, cheeks flushed, and Monroe knows the answer. He holds the collar out, and Nick smiles as he buckles it around his throat.

Date: 2015-08-07 07:56 am (UTC)Fill- The Real Thing [sextuplet'd fill]
Date: 2015-08-08 01:47 am (UTC)Adam had been whimpering, tossing and turning in his sleep, mumbling beggar's words as the sheets twisted. This had gone the whole night. It was only when he felt phantom hands around his neck he awoke, sweating and gasping for air. "N-no!"
From the other side of...wherever he was, there was a snort and mumble. "A..adam...wuzgunon?"
Nonononononono. Please no. Adam scrambled to the edge of the bed, mind whirring. Maybe if he moved slow he'd be able to get away. Heartbeat, slow the fuck down. Oh God, he was going to have a heart attack and die.
*
Where was he? And who was that? Had he just tried to strangle him?
"Adam?"
His head snapped in that direction as he uttered his name. "...I...who...what...what do you want?" he managed. God, where was Blake? Blake would know what to do. Oh hell, what if this guy had gotten to Blake first?! He whimpered and then bit down on his lip, edging off the bed. Just get the hell out of here, out the door...safety...
"Adam, it's me, Blake. What's wrong?" the voice spoke again and there was the sound of its owner standing up-
*
He's lying, Adam. Run. He knows Blake's name and your name. Just fucking run. But he couldn't make himself move. He was going to die of shock. It's Kirk, not Blake. Kirk lied when he said he'd never get that rough again, had broken in and attempted to strangle him. He brought a hand to his neck, feeling for marks or heat. But all that came back was sweat. He felt along the wall and found the light switch, flipped it, then flattened himself against the door, eyes closed and hands clenched on the doorknob, wheezing for breath. Done for...
*
"Adam..." Wait. He knew that voice! Carefully he opened his eyes.
Blake stood before him, in those goofy red plaid pajamas he'd seen before and looking completely bewildered. He blinked again, sure he was dreaming. "...Blake?" he tried, voice thick with unshed tears.
Blake...whoever it was before him...sighed, gave a tiny smile, and held out his arms. "Yeah, Adam, it's me."
Oh... Wasting no time, Adam threw himself into Blake's arms, almost convinced this was a mirage and he was going to fall on his face, or that he'd just thrown himself into the hands of his killer.
*
Solid. Smelled the same. He even put a hand on the back of the figure's hair and yes it was the same, he was still at Blake's house after he'd come over with black eyes and bruises and the older man had held him close and dried his tears and offered he stay the night and yes everything was real. Adam was so relived he let himself crumple in Blake's hold as he regained his sense of self.
"...'m sorry...Kirk? Strangled...hurt..." He closed his eyes again and waited for his heartbeat to slow. Just Blake. Blake no hurt.
*
He heard another sigh above him and Blake stroked a large and soothing hand across his shoulder blades. "S'OK, Adam. Yer not drowning, not goin' under. S'gonna be alright."
One small hiccup to keep the sobs from coming again, and everything felt melted back to some semblance of normal. "You're real..."
"Uh huh," he felt Blake's chin gently scratch along his temple. He never thought he'd get gentle from anyone again, didn't deserve it, anyone who tried would get their ass kicked by Kirk...or worse...
Swallow. "You're not afraid?"
"Not for me. An' you won't hafta be either soon."

Date: 2015-08-08 11:11 pm (UTC)"What do you go in for?" she asks in that lilting accent and Draco hesitates.
He doesn't bring anyone down to the kitchens. He comes for cakes and breads; things he thinks a mother might bake.
Luna's holding the same things - a slice of chocolate cake, a pink-iced bun.
"Nothing, Loony," he says, and walks away.
**
When she's imprisoned in the manor - in their own house - Draco can't keep away. He's fascinated by her, this glittery girl who refuses to be cowed.
Aunt Bella thinks Luna's crazy, but Draco's seen the way his mother looks at his aunt and he knows what she's thinking.
Ollivander stays back from the door, fearful of the Malfoys, but Luna sits on the other side, hushed words pushing themselves through the gap to Draco, stories meant to calm and aid.
He visits her, every night, without fail. When they escape, Draco only hopes that they keep her safe.
**
Years later, Draco walks Diagon Alley at night. It's an eerie sensation, but solitude is something he's grown into. He hears the crunch of footsteps in the snow behind him and the movement, to reach for his wand, is a reflex.
He turns and Luna's standing there, buttoned up against the cold, moon shining on her golden hair and pale face. She smiles even when she sees his wand. "How are you, Draco?" she asks.
He doesn't have an answer and she doesn't look as if she really expects one. Instead, she holds out her hand, and he takes it.

Date: 2015-08-08 12:39 am (UTC)Green chains are coiling around him, but Bruce knows struggling would be pointless. "I never expected you of all people to go crazy with power, Hal."
"Shut up, Bruce, just - shut up." Parallax waves his hand and Bruce finds himself gagged "I'm going to rewrite reality, fix things, whatever you like it or not." he yanks the Batman cowl down and stares at him in silence for a moment "But I want you at my side. I want you there with me when I bring Coast City back, everybody will be alive again, and I... I can revive Barry, too." his voice cracks up a little, his breathing is heavier, but he's still looking at Bruce "I can bring *Jason* back."
It's those few words that make Bruce lash out, fighting uselessly against the green energy that's keeping him tied up. Parallax seems to welcome that reaction as some sort of agreement, because he kneels down and takes Bruce's face between his hands. There's a small hopeful smile on Parallax' face, but the sharp teeth make it look grotesque.
"I want you at my side, Bruce."

Date: 2015-08-07 10:15 am (UTC)"Oh, don't worry, I think your *girlfriend* made exactly the first impression one would expect." Joe sounds clearly displeased, and Barry wishes his power set included invisibility.
The only person who looks comfortable is Lisa, who's mostly paying attention to her nails while ignoring the two men arguing. Then she pulls a little at the hem of the prison uniform and smiles.
"I look great in orange." she chirps happily.
On the other side of the room, Barry groans and facepalms.

"You're a man of few words, me too many. I don't always know what you're thinking, not good at silences."
Oz gives him a peck on the lips and smiles. "I was thinking how happy you looked telling me about the different Star Trek captains. People shine when they're talking about something they love."
Andrew smiles at that. "You're gracious to say so."
"It's true and I'd have to be narcissistic to want someone just like me."
"You may not say much but you say all the right things."

Date: 2015-08-07 11:18 am (UTC)"Mm?" Barry looked up. He noticed, against his will, that the man was blushing, "oh, yeah, we've formed a truce."
"A truce?" He asked, wanting to sprint in the opposite direction with every word, "that's... Interesting. Shouldn't you have checked with us-?"
"Ah," Barry interrupted, blush growing, "it's... Not really the kind of truce that I want officially recorded, you know?"
And immediately, he knew.
...He knew that he shouldn't have strayed into such dangerous ground!

Date: 2015-08-08 11:37 am (UTC)So she falls. She lets herself go over the edge of the rooftop, hoping, for once, he doesn't follow. He shouts; she throws her grappling hook. From rooftop to rooftop, swift as any cheetah, she flies, putting a safe distance between them. Then she just continues swinging for the rushing wind, the singing adrenaline, the freedom of a bird without worries until the Bat catches her for a snack again.

"It's freezing," he complains, huddling into his suit miserably, "honestly, I love living in Gotham but these winters-"
He's halted, not exactly dead but as close as he's willing to go, by a low sigh. The next moment a warm weight is wrapping around him, weighing his shoulders down with folds of black.
"...Bruce?" He asks very carefully, after a moment to regain his equilibrium, "did you just give me your cape?"
A grunt, "you should complain less."
"Really?" He smirks, wraps the cape tighter around himself with a happy sigh, "after this, I rather think I should complain more."
