comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
streussal, your host for the week. Today's theme is Noir, as in Film Noir. Prompts can be anything related to the Noir genre - noir AUs, noir tropes, quotes from noir, noir movie titles, and of course prompts for actual Film Noir fandoms.
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...
+ The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Martha/Sam/Walter, tricking ourselves
+ The Vampire Diaries (tv), Bonnie Bennett/Damon Salvatore, Noir AU: Bonnie as the hardoiled detective; Damon as the femme fatale
+ The Borgias, Lucrezia Borgia, “It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window.” ― Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely
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: 2015-11-02 12:42 pm (UTC)FILL: And Revelations [Green Lantern (comics), Sinestro/Hal, PG]
Date: 2015-11-05 03:11 pm (UTC)--
"I'll use Parallax's power to take me far from here, and then release him. You'll never see me again," he says softly. And is surprised, even after all this time, to see Hal's eyes fill with pain, "but before I go... Do you remember what you asked me once?"
"I-" Hal's voice breaks, he looks down briefly. For the first time in years, he finds that the sight of the man in pain aches within him, "were we ever really friends?"
"That's the tragedy of all this, Jordan," he sighs, still softly, and reaches out - traces Hal's cheek, the edge of his lip, "Hal. We were always slightly more than that, weren't we?"
Hal stares at him for a second, eyes still wide with pain. He half smiles, continues tracing Hal's jawline with one hand.
He's not sure who kisses who first, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter. Hal's lips are just as wet as he always thought they would be, his tongue just as active. He kisses like a hurricane, throwing all of his fury and hope and will out into the universe like he fears it'll burn out at any moment.
It's... Beautiful.
It hurts so much that it feels like he's coming back to life.
He draws back eventually, ignores the confusion of the rest of the universe to aim a wry smile at Hal's face. The man's eyes remain closed for a long moment, dark eyelashes against his cheeks, and then suddenly shoot open - stare at him like he's the water and Hal's a lost soul that's been crawling through the desert for years and years.
"I've finally shut you up," he smiles softly, and presses his thumb over Hal's mouth one last time before he lets his hand drop back to his side, "and for my next miracle..."
'Sinestro,' Hal mouths, his heart in his eyes, and then starts in panic - desperately reaches out to grab his arm, "Thaal, please-"
If they only had more time.
But, alas, they have nothing of the sort. And, before Hal can make even the slightest contact, he's away - carried off into the universe, unable to look back even once.

Date: 2015-11-02 12:43 pm (UTC)FILL: Born Bad [Green Lantern (comics), Hal/Sinestro, PG-13]
Date: 2015-11-03 05:18 pm (UTC)"Shut up," he huffs, and crosses his arms angrily over his chest, "I'm making plenty of sense, it's not my fucking fault that you've got your head too far up your own ass to see it."
"What are you saying, Jordan?"
"About you having your head up your own ass?" He smirks, somewhat cruelly, but that's just par for the course. Sinestro tends to bring out the asshole within him, "well, you see-"
"Not about that," Sinestro interrupts him with a yellow construct laid over his lips, rolls his eyes as he struggles angrily free, "honestly, Jordan, I've spent enough time around you to familiarize myself with all possible meanings of that. I meant the earlier statement, the one that made no sense. How did it go... 'There's wrong, and then there's wrong, and then there's-'"
"This," he snaps, spitting the last traces of yellow from his lips, and watches Sinestro's aristocratic nod with something like rage coiling in his belly, "it's quite simple, you dick. There are wrong things, like having a crush on your high school teacher. And then there are wrong things, like actually fucking your high school teacher. And then there's-"
"This," Sinestro says delicately, arching an eyebrow, "Which, if I am correctly grasping your meaning, is worse than either of those things combined."
"Well," he growls stubbornly. Infuriated by the delicacy, the arch of his eyebrow, the way he just hovers there like he's faced all of this before and come out the victor every damn time, "can you really disagree with that? Can you really fucking tell me that-?"
"We're not unhealthy? Insane? 'Messed up' in every single possible way?" Sinestro suddenly smirks, drifts closer. There's a wicked look in his eyes that he wants to fuck and strangle all at once, "of course not, Jordan, I've always prided myself on facing reality. But can you really tell me that you don't enjoy it?"
He pauses for a second, hovering back a little despite himself.
"I thought not," and Sinestro's smirk is both the best and worst thing in the universe, all at once, "face it, Jordan. Wrong is so much more satisfying than right."
