Monday: Truth and Lies

[reeby10.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone! I’m reeby10 and I will be your host again this week. Today's theme is truth and lies. Prompts can be anything related to telling the truth, telling lies, being a pathological liar, truth serums, etc.

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, "I will never lie to you"
+ Teen Wolf, Stiles Stilinski (/Derek Hale), once he starts lying to his dad he just can't seem to stop
+ any, any, "I see the truth"

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.

FILL: Hit the floor, Zero/Jude, cancer fic

[cozy-coffee.livejournal.com]

He thought he could hide from the cancer. He believed the treatment would work and after a few months of pain and suffering he would rise stronger, healthier. But hope was lost. The sickness destroyed his body, left him frail and thin.

Zero can see the truth now. There is no outrunning this darkness. But he will not go down to the grave with his head bowed. He has made peace with his impending death. He cannot stop what is coming.

He has battled his way through a world of pain and sickness, and he fought with all his might until he could fight no more. The doctor’s best efforts were in vain. Tragically, the illness.

He could cry. He could scream. He could drop to his knees and beg God for salvation. He doesn’t do any of that. He accepts his fate. He prepares his last meal; a thick, juicy cheeseburger with extra onions. A beer in one hand, a spatula in the other, and his soul mate by his side. He smiles as the meat sizzles on the grill, groaning blissfully as the rich deliciousness aroma tickles his nose.

Jude watches his brave lover, pretty eyes admiring the way Zero is peaceful and calm in the face of death. He notices the soft blush on those cute cheeks, eyes twinkling happily, a genuine smile dancing on his kissable lips. Jude is not hungry, however, he graciously accepts the burger when Zero gives it to him.

Zero, smirking fondly, takes a bite of his burger and smiles as brightly as the sun on a sunny spring day. To Jude, the sight is the most heartbreaking and heartwarming thing he has ever seen. Zero is not terrified or dreadful. He is blissfully content as he takes another bite of his burger and groans “mmm…mmm,” before smiling and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

Soon, Zero will leave Jude behind, heartbroken and alone. Yet Jude doesn’t linger on the darkness, but on the light of joy on his boyfriend’s face. Zero is joyful, happy, and Jude is grateful to spend his final moment in this life with the man he loves.

NCIS: Los Angeles, G Callen/Sam Hanna, lies I tell myself

[tigriswolf]

Marvel movies, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, Something Great

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes,



A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

[tigriswolf]

Avengers movieverse, Bucky Barnes + Steve Rogers,



Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you, I am

[tigriswolf]

author's choice, author's choice, I don't love you

(truth or lie? author's choice)

Fill: "Defining Love." Crimson Peak. Thomas Sharpe/Edith Cushing, Thomas Sharpe/Lucille Sharpe

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

Thomas Sharpe sat in front of the hearth in the main hall pretending to read a book about mechanics, but his thoughts kept wandering from the text. Across the room, Lucille played piano. Even lost in her music, Lucille’s back stayed ramrod-straight as if she was afraid of being criticized for her posture slipping. His gaze travelled up her back and over the curves her garments highlighted to the back of her neck and its soft skin to the dark hair that his fingers always itched to free from her severe braids.

Lucille’s hair was styled as their mother favored it, so Thomas wondered at his sister adopting the look. His gaze flicked to the portrait of their mother that hung over the fire. There was no denying she and Lucille both had a forbidding demeanor, a dominating presence. Both were capable of politeness but lacked the warmth necessary to charm. Both had dark eyes that were familiar with scorn, smiles that were familiar with cruelty.

I didn’t love you, Mother.

Thomas didn’t think his mother would be bothered by this. After all, she didn’t love him. As a child, Thomas wanted to have parents he could love. He daydreamed about it, then retreated into his drawings and inventions. He knew how things were supposed to work in families, and he knew he’d never have that love.

Until Lucille gave it to him.

Lucille loved him. She took care of him, encouraged him. She was his strength. She taught him the ways of passion and of control, of madness and murder. She was all he wanted and all he’d known.

Until Edith came into his life.

Edith took his ring, his proposal. His heart. Now, when he slipped away into Lucille’s arms, Lucille’s bed, he found himself biting back Edith’s name when he was aching with desire. And that was dangerous.

What Thomas felt for Edith was dangerous for them both. If he loved Edith, if he accepted love was warm and selfless and giving, if it left you feeling whole and hopeful, if it made you look forward to the next hour, the next day, with excitement and delight, then what he felt for his sister wasn’t love. It was love’s desperate, twisted twin.

I don’t love you, Lucille.

Any, Any/Any, If I lied and said what you want to hear, would you still leave me or would the lies make everything alright?

original poem

[tigriswolf]

I could tell you a thousand pretty things
I could smile and laugh
And it might wipe away the pain
I could pretend just like you
I could lie here and now
Just for the chance you won’t
Walk away when the words fade into the wind
But all that leaves us with
Is this same moment
Because I know it’ll come around again
I could lie
But the truth is that I’m tired
I could lie
But the truth is that the bed’s cold even when you’re here
I could lie
But I’m not sure a few days’ respite is worth it
I could lie
I could spin you a dream
Of what we haven’t been in so long
I could smile and laugh
But I’m almost sure you’d see through it
I could lie
But instead I’ll just ask once more
Are you sure this is what you want?
