comment_ficHello, everyone. As always, I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reeby10 and today's theme is dialogue. Prompts should be a line of dialogue, whether it’s from the book/movie/show/etc. you're prompting from, another book/movie/show/etc., or made up.
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...
+ Person of Interest, Harold Finch/John Reese, "That's very mercenary of you, Finch, I think I like it."
+ any, any, "Only one rule: we all die in the end."
+ Young Justice, Roy Harper/Wally West, "Today's the day."
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: 2015-09-02 05:25 pm (UTC)The first thing Methos teaches each of his students, from the first to the last, is how to die.
After that, he shows them how to live.
.
He spaces them out across centuries, keeps them until he's sure they can survive, and then checks in from time to time. He loves them neither more nor less than the mortal children he raises, and none of them ever know the name he's been assigned by the Watchers, the name that means oldest of us all.
Well, none of them but one. Kronos is the exception to so many of his rules.
Despite how it ends, he only regrets a single thing about his years with Kronos: how Kronos never learned to adapt.
.
In the end, so many of the dead cry, there can be only one.
It's such a stupid thing. Not even he knows where it came from.
.
They all fall, as time marches on. Every child he has ever loved and left. They all fall.
He promises, listening to Byron's last piece, that he'll never take on another student.
Of course, he's promised that before.
.
When he's not annoyed at Methos, MacLeod does ask about the wisdom learned over so many centuries. There is so much Methos could teach, if he chose to.
Methos smiles at him, the ghosts of Kronos and Byron, even of Caspian, standing around them both, here in Joe's bar.
"You're not my student," he says, swirling his beer in the bottle. "You don't learn, anyway."
MacLeod pouts at him.
.
The first thing Methos ever teaches his students is how to die.
Joe asks him, just once, if he's got any nemeses the way MacLeod seems to. MacLeod's killed more of their kind than most headhunters manage, ever so honorable and noble. He's a child, not even half a millennium yet. He's killed more of their kind than Methos has.
"I don't do nemeses, Joe," Methos says, wondering how Joe will explain the Chronicle that Methos isn't supposed to know he's writing.
Methos does not leave threats at his back. And if Joe doesn't figure out the warning, well. He's getting old, for a mortal. And for all that Methos likes him -
Well, he'd loved Kronos for three thousand years.
