comment_ficWell, I'm tigriswolf and I'll be hosting the final week of the year. Today's theme is lyrics, however you choose to incorporate them.
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...
Author’s choice, author’s choice,
I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside, I couldn't get you out
I laid beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke
Marvel movies, Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, I have loved you since we were 18, long before we both thought the same thing
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.

Date: 2015-12-29 06:08 am (UTC)Author’s choice, any love triangle, I walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three-way script
Fill, MCU, Howard Stark/Edwin Jarvis, Anna Jarvis/Edwin Jarvis
Date: 2015-12-29 03:45 pm (UTC)When she'd found out about Edwin and Mr. Stark, from a careless comment dropped by Mr. Stark, Anna'd been furious. Edwin had explained, it had only been a few times and never since they'd been married. If she asked it of him he'd never touch Mr. Stark again.
His explanation and freely given answer to an ultimatum she had not yet had a chance to voice did little to cool her ire but she had never been one to make decisions rashly.
Anna demanded three days alone from him to sort herself out. She was only a little surprised when instead of rooming in the mansion's servant quarters Edwin instead took up rooms in a hotel for the three days. Things might have been different if he hadn't.
When Edwin returns she tells him that it's okay. That he can have them both and the relief in his eyes breaks her heart.
It's harder then Anna expected. To go to bed each night wondering if Edwin would be in late because he was in danger or doing his duty as a butler or if he would come home smelling like toiletries not his own.
It's not as though Edwin would ever be so crass as to come to their bed smelling of sex but the very idea that he had thought of her, considered what she might be feeling and done what he thought would make her happiest. He doesn't realize that those fancy perfumed soaps, so different from his own harsh soaps, were more of a slap to the face then the scent of another on him ever could be.
She'd thought she could handle it, but between his job as a butler and his little missions and now this Anna felt more than ever like the mistress. Like she was fray adjacent to his real life and she can't handle it.
So she quietly gathers her savings, packs her bags and on a bright, sunny Tuesday in April she kisses Edwin's cheek for the last time and allows him to help her into a cab.
Anna doesn't look back. She couldn't bear to see that he had left before she reached the end of the driveway. Worse would be to see him still standing there as though he was waiting for her to come back.

Date: 2015-12-29 02:43 pm (UTC)I'm your Opheliac
I've been so disillusioned
I know you'd take me back but still I feigned confusion
I couldn't be your friend my world was too unstable
You might have seen the end but you were never able to keep me breathing as the water rises up again
Before I slip away
You know the games I play and the words I say when I want my own way
You know the lies I tell when you've gone through hell and I say I can't stay
You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me when everything and everyone becomes my enemy
And when there's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me
It's the Opheliac in me

Date: 2015-12-29 09:51 pm (UTC)"It's funny."
"What is?" Because funny is the last thing on Finn's mind right now and he'd been kinda hoping that it was the last thing on Rey's mind too. After all, this is the first moment they've had to themselves since they helped save the galaxy - ok, since he helped her actually save the galaxy - and being as they're pressed together chest to chest, her back against the steel bulk of the corridor, he'd been hoping for a different mood entirely.
"This." Rey holds up one pair of their joined hands, stares at it with a slightly dazed expression in her eyes. That's a new look, Finn thinks. He likes it. "Do you remember the first day we met?"
He could never forget. "When you knocked me on my ass on Jakku?" In more ways than one, he thinks, but that doesn't need to be said aloud. She already knows. "Or when we had to run for our lives from the First Order?"
Her eyes move to lock with his and her smile is softer now. That's new too. "I kept on telling you not to hold my hand," she reminds him. "And now... now I can't imagine you not doing that."
Finn thinks his smile might just match hers and he squeezes her hands tightly. "Well, it's a good job you don't have to, then." His voice sounds more gruff than it usually does and Rey's cheeks aren't usually that pink. "You and me, Rey... to the end."
The fact that it could have been the end any number of times isn't lost on him, and maybe not on her either because she nods once and then, in an act that is mutually unspoken, they find better things to do than talk.
Turns out it's everything Finn hoped for, and more.
