classics_lover and today's theme is drabbles. Prompts can be anything as long as fills are 100 words (or a multiple thereof).
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...
+ Spy, Aldo + Rick Ford, "I saw her before you."
+ Frasier, any, "It's a 500 year old book, no you may not dog-ear it or use it as a coaster!"
+ Star Trek, any, playing 20th/21st Century videogames
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.

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.

“‘To honor and obey?’ How does that fit at all?” Sameen asked with a snort.
“Oh, I think it fits,” Root cooed, grin not abating in the least. “You’re quite good at obeying in the right circumstances.”
Sameen shifted a little in her seat. “Can we not discuss that right now?” she hissed. “Just no to those, pick something else.”
“You’re no fun,” Root said, but she marked through that option. “How do you feel about ‘till death do us part?’”

When she'd been alive, Darla had learned the tricks. What teas to steep thickly, which bitter seeds to ground together and swallow on an empty stomach. Even, for the desperate times, there had been sheer force to get rid of what was unwanted.
But this one clung to her insides. What had worked for a living womb was useless for her, and for the first time in centuries Darla cursed her unchanging body.
She laughed too, because its struggle was in vain. It had a heartbeat; it had a soul. It was damned before it was born.

Fill: MCU, Steve Rogers+/Darcy Lewis (600 words)
Date: 2015-08-19 11:58 am (UTC)Limping through the halls of the tower toward his room at two in the morning--his leg would be fine after some sleep, but for now it hurt like hell--Steve Rogers thought about calling Darcy.
The unlikely pair had become good friends since he moved in a few months before. He enjoyed her wit and unfiltered mouth and her seemingly unending ability to see him and the others as just people and not icons. They shared movie nights and late night ice cream and discussions--sometimes a bit heated--about pop culture and history.
Since their friendship blossomed, Steve found himself often relying on Darcy’s humor and good nature to bring him down when things simply got too hard handle. He truly cherished their friendship--even though he had to admit to himself he secretly desired something more with her--and was afraid sometimes he was taking advantage of her, especially in times like this when he would essentially dump his problems on her. Although sweet and innocent were not the first two words to come to mind when talking about Darcy, she still didn’t need to know just how ugly the world could be.
Continuing his limp after getting off the elevator on his floor, Steve decided not to call her tonight. He would deal with the aftermath of the mission by himself. Then tomorrow, he suddenly decided, he would ask her out for coffee. Sure, they’d been out before plenty of times--him always hiding under a ballcap to avoid the paparazzi--but he felt this time might be different, at least for him.
Turning the corner in the hallway, he immediately noticed something propped against his door. He immediately went on alert, even though he knew Jarvis would have already alerted him if something dangerous was outside his apartment.
The large bundle was round and lumpy and as he got closer he heard a soft snore. Then, recognizing Darcy’s hair, he quicken his pace as much as his leg would allow and knelt down next to her.
“Darcy,” he whispered, shaking her blanket-covered shoulder gently.
“Huh?” she murmured before opening her eyes, which widened when she saw him. “Steve, you’re home.”
“Yeah, I am. Why are you here?” he asked while helping her to her feet.
“Jarvis said you guys were inbound and it had been a rough mission, so I knew you probably wouldn’t be able to sleep, so I brought distractions,” she said, poking a few Blu-ray discs from under the blanket.
“Darcy, you didn’t have to wait for me like that. Besides, you have work tomorrow.”
“Well, Jane is probably getting her post-mission action with Thor right about now, so it’ll be a late start for both of us.”
Steve couldn’t help but laugh, trying not to visualize that scene while also feeling a little bit of the stress he was under bleed away.
Ushering Darcy inside and to his couch, he said, “Let me take a quick shower and then we’ll starting watching whatever it is you’ve decided to subject me to this time.”
“Oh, you have no idea,” Darcy said ominously.
Leaving Darcy, Steve walked to his bedroom, thinking on just how lucky he was to have a friend like Darcy. Then he thought about coffee and what it could mean. If he skipped a little on the way to the bathroom, no one saw him, and Jarvis was kind enough to never tell his secret.

Date: 2015-08-18 01:21 pm (UTC)Niles and Frasier shared a look of suppressed glee, Frasier saying, "oh, don't worry, Dad, it's not *just* Classical music."
"Trust us, you'll like this," Niles chimed in.
Martin was about to protest when the lights dimmed, the orchestra appeared, and a large screen lit up with animation as the orchestra began to play.
"Tom and Jerry?!"
"Yes. You showed this to us when we were kids. It's how we discovered Lizt's Hungarian Symphony No. 2."
"Oh, boys, thank you," Martin said gruffly.

"What about it, Pep?"
His enthusiasm was contagious. If life must have a sense of humor, and send her on the cheapest date of her life with the richest man in town, at least she could laugh along. "Sounds great," she answered. "Extra ketchup, please?"

Date: 2015-08-20 03:25 am (UTC)Granny's tutoring told her that she hadn't broken anything, but it still hurt. A lot. Perhaps it hadn't been a good idea to run along the edge of that wall...
"Winry?"
Edward's head popped up over the wall, quickly followed by the rest of his body. "It's okay," he said as he came to her side and offered his hand. "I won't tell if you cry."
Winry ignored his help. "I'm not crying!" she shouted, blinking away her tears.
And when Edward snorted, she couldn't think of anything better than to stomp on his foot and storm away.

note: Ed and Winry insist this counts as schmoop. *shrug*

Connor gazed over at him, a teasing light in his eye, and broke into laughter. "Please say you're kidding," he begged, almost hiccuping in mirth.
And the love of Angel's life, the reason he'd turned his life onto the brave path before he'd found reasons of his own, snickered and continued the embarrassing tale. "That DVD player was never the same!"
And, to his chagrin, the twin chorus of laughter erupted again.

Date: 2017-03-28 03:04 am (UTC)Demetri scoffs and turns away, but Mark pulls him back, hands gentle on his face. “No, listen to me. Just for a minute. Just for right now. Let it go, Dem.”
Demetri closes his eyes and tries to breathe, to 'let it go'. As if knowing he'll be dead in six months is something he can forget.
“Good,” Mark breathes, close now behind his closed lids, and kisses him gently. Demetri lets himself melt into it, tells himself this moment is eternal. He and Mark, just them, no future, good or bad.
Just now.

Date: 2015-08-25 03:20 pm (UTC)"Sometimes that's the only way to get there," Barry mutters, somehow managing to look both annoyed and bashful at the same time, "if you're late, because somebody has been distracting you..."
"That doesn't quite apply to slow dancing, Barry," he purrs, and watches the odd mixture of bashful annoyance fade to a slightly more manageable mix of resigned amusement, "now, keep going slow..."
"Jerk," Barry sighs. But, for once, does.
