mánadagr: Birth

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Good morning, everybody! I’m Doctor Nick doreyg and today's theme is Birth. Prompts can be anything relating to the birth of something. Be it your chosen characters having children, the birth of an idea or even the rebirth of somebody/something.

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.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or 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 new examples...
+ DCU, Alwaysagirl!Hal Jordan/Bruce Wayne, accidental pregnancy
+ Batman Beyond, Terry McGinnis/Bruce Wayne, raise you like a phoenix
+ Babylon 5, Londo Mollari/G’Kar, the first time G'Kar thought he could forgive Londo

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 2016 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.

Have fun! Or as much fun as you can have on a Monday, let's be real here

MCU, Steve Rogers/Darcy Lewis, a little girl

[helsinkibaby.livejournal.com]

"You should get some sleep."

Darcy is tired, sore and a little goofy from the pain relief but that's not why she's smiling like the Cheshire Cat, or why she's refusing to go to sleep. "Nuh-uh," she says. "I don't want to miss a minute of this." 

"This" is Steve Rogers, Captain America himself, sitting on the edge of her hospital bed, a smile on his face that's partly joy, mostly wonder as he stares down at the pink-wrapped bundle in his arms. The baby stares right up at him, mouth opening and closing soundlessly and as Darcy watches, a tiny fist flies up out of the blanket, like she's already learned how to fight like an Avenger. Steve laughs - a sound Darcy has long since decided she'll never get tired of hearing - and reaches out, touches the fist gently with his little finger. The baby - they're still deciding on a name - instantly reacts, curling her tiny fingers around Steve's larger one and the look in his eyes at that moment makes Darcy's breath catch in her throat. 

Well, she thinks. Isn't that just the perfect metaphor. 

She sits up with difficulty, scooches a little closer to them. He shifts to meet her halfway and she lays her head on his shoulder. "She looks like you? I think?" she wonders because while she's usually one of those "all babies look the same" type people, she thinks she should make more of an effort when it's actually her own. 

Steve shakes his head. "My dad," he says, his voice quiet. "And my grandpa's ears, I think... God help her." That's said with a laugh and she laughs too. When his eyes meet hers, though, it's not a laughing matter anymore. "I never thought I'd see anyone who looks like them again," he tells her and she wants to blame the hormones for the tears suddenly welling up in her eyes. "You're my hero, you know that?"

Ducking her head, she presses a kiss to his shoulder, feels his lips against the top of her head. "And you're mine," she tells him when she can speak again and if she'd normally decry such words as cheesy and sappy, well, she'll blame that on the hormones too.

any, any, becoming someone new

Fill: Stargate Atlantis/Dollhouse; John Sheppard 1/2

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

The first time Joe became someone else, it wasn't a true transformation. He'd stood in front of the closet mirror in John Sheppard's apartment wearing some of John's clothes (much nicer than he could ever afford, much better put together than he could ever figure out). John slung an arm around his shoulders and grinned at him.

"See? We're practically twins. Now, if any of the girls at this party ask, you're my cousin, and you're a business major. You can fake business talk, right? With all those math classes you take."

"Sure," Joe had said. "I can do that." And he did it - badly. But the less pretty girls who were hangers-on of the prettiest girls at John's parties giggled at him and plied him with drinks, and after he recovered from the roaring hangover the next day, he'd learned a few things. In a few short months he'd perfected his wing-man position as John's shyer, sweeter, more innocent cousin, and the bold girls, the aggressive girls, they lapped it up, liked to drag him into upstairs rooms and teach him new things.

Visiting John's family on holiday breaks taught him even more, how to navigate strained conversations in a house where going to Stanford instead of Harvard was a massive rebellion, how to ingratiate himself with John's father and brother without alienating John.

And then it all went wrong, the wrong party, the wrong place, the wrong time, the wrong drink, and John was dead, and there were police and detectives and people in dark suits and when Joe was finally free of the chaos, he was in a little locked room, too high-tech to be a regular police interrogation room. The woman opposite him, Adelle DeWitt, knew everything about him, from his abusive father to his parents' messy divorce to his steady decline inward, hiding behind a wall of numbers that was too emotionally fraught to amount to true genius. John Sheppard was important, part of an international business empire, a much-needed spare in a world that was perilous for the true heir. Joe looked so much like John; everybody said it. People who'd never met John before wouldn't know the difference. It was his fault John was dead. He owed the Sheppard family. And there was a way for him to help them. Just be John every now and again. They'd pay him ridiculous amounts of money to keep the secret.

Joe stared at the number she presented, and he didn't look to closely at the fine print. He remembered the way Patrick Sheppard's eyes had shone when Joe described a math theorem he was working on in his spare time. He remembered the way Dave had been protective when he'd found out John liked using Joe as a wing-man. And he signed.

The first time Joe became another person, truly became another person, he didn't remember, not for decades. But he sat down in a chair, and he woke up as a blank slate, a human doll, named Foxtrot.

The second time Joe became another person, he became John Sheppard, everything the young man had been before he died, with two tiny modifications - Joe had kept his math skills, and he'd acquired a handler named Nancy (Nancy wasn't her real name, and she was under orders to one day become his wife).

Buffy-verse, Willow Rosenberg+/?, Willow's pregnancy came as a shock

Fill: BtVS, Willow/Tara

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Talking To Plants

After she explained it to Buffy, Xander and Giles, Willow stood there squeezing Tara's hand as hard as she could, feeling like that dream of showing up naked for class that she only had every couple of months nowadays.

"O...kay," Xander and Buffy eventually said at exactly the same time, which extended the awkward silence for another couple of seconds before Buffy continued. "So… you're pregnant?"

"Yup." Willow squared her shoulders and felt Tara squeeze her hand back.

Buffy looked back and forth between them. "OK. Um... How?" She seemed to realise how that sounded. "I mean, I'm sorry, but… um… who did - "

"It's ours," Tara said firmly.

"But …"

Willow took a deep breath. "It's ours and it wasn't exacty planned but we're keeping it and yes, we've been to the hospital and hooked me up to machines that go bing and it's a perfectly ordinary baby with no demony stuff at all, a-and I know it's unusual but," she gestured at Buffy and Xander, "your sister used to be a ball of green energy and your girlfriend is an 1,100-year-old viking demon and is this really that much weirder, and - "

Giles stood up and smiled. "I believe the word we're all looking for is 'Congratulations'."

Many increasingly warm and squeeing ("I get to be an aunt!") hugs later, Willow and Tara were finally alone in their room again. "OK," Willow exhaled as she sat down on the bed, "that could have gone a lot worse."

"You really think so?" Tara sat down beside her, kissed her forehead and put her arm around her. "They're your best friends, how did you think they'd react?"

Willow stifled a giggle. "Well, we still have to come up with some way of explaining how it happened. I wouldn't want Giles' head to explode from trying to find a British way of asking about our sex life."

"Can't we just tell them the truth?"

"You mean like, 'Hey, kids, if you live on a Hellmouth and your best friend's garden has been trampled by all sorts of demons for years until hardly anything grows there and you're trying to call on a few fertility goddesses to bless it, don't get caught up in the moment and have sex on top of an icon of Freyja'?"

Tara grinned. "That's, um, a very specific PSA, but…"

"Fine," Willow pouted. "We'll tell 'em tomorrow."

author's choice, author's choice, a revolution born in a [noun's] grief

Fill: The Blacklist, Katarina Rostova

[sapphire2309]

The eventual destruction of the Cabal is not the result of Raymond Reddington's mysterious dedication to Elizabeth Keen. It is a revolution born in a parent's grief.

The day that Masha is renamed Elizabeth, Katarina Rostova is hidden in one of her many safehouses, applying a salve to her many burns, her jaw locked determinedly.

"You're going to have to disappear, you know," Reddington says casually.

"I've done it before and I'll do it again," Rostova responds coldly.

Reddington lets out his signature laugh. "Come now, Katarina, you're not going to sit here and pretend that you're okay, are you?"

"I am not in the habit of baring my soul to acquaintances whose allegiance remains... questionable."

"You wound me. And here I was, absolutely certain that I'd proven my allegiances beyond a shadow of a doubt."

"I am not as trusting as you, Raymond. Some days, I do not even trust myself."

"Excellent habit to keep. You know, I knew a Sri Lankan fisherman once, who-"

"Raymond."

Reddington does not dare to disturb the air.

Rostova continues, "You and I may not trust one another, but we are united by a common purpose. The same people tore both our families apart. And they must pay.

"I will give you the information you need, but I cannot act on it myself. That you must do." She leans towards him. "Find them, Raymond. Find them and destroy them."

Reddington's answer is simple. "Yes, ma'am."

historical, author's choice, the birth of one nation is always the death of another

Filled (tw rape, genocide, forced unnecessary medical proceedures)

[truthwritaslies.livejournal.com]

The continent is named for an Italian mapmaker who never set foot on it's shores and at some point there is a declaration that this is the birth of a new nation.

But if it is, the the new nation is a Cuckoo planted in the nest of other nations. As all Cuckoos do it kills what nest mates it can and drives the rest from the nest, taking everything for itself. Once it is old enough, strong enough, it flies to another nest driving ever onward the progress of the destruction of nations.

For this was not the birth of one nation but the death of many. A death brought about by forced sickness and genocidal armies and long marches at gunpoint. By missionaries and schools, secret sterilizations and rape.

author's choice, author's choice, Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting

FILL: SPN, Transgender Sam (/ Dean)

[cozy-coffee.livejournal.com]

Dean remembers when he found out about Sam. It was a normal day, dad was away on hunting business and he was working on Baby out in the garage of the house they were squatting in. Sam was...somewhere. Dean wasn’t sure where his brother was because he hadn’t heard from Sam since breakfast. Taking a break, Dean went to check on Sam...Only he did not find his brother.

He found his sister.

Sammy, sweet sixteen, pretty and lovely, wearing a yellow sundress and pink lipstick, and a pair of white high heels. Her legs were smoothly shaven and when she did a twirl in front of the mirror the dress rose up slightly to show a pair of lacy white panties. Maybe Dean should’ve yelled, or torn the dress of Sam and re-clothed him in a pair of jeans, or maybe he should’ve backed out of the room and pretended never to see what he’d just witnessed. Instead, he did what his heart told him to do; Love Sam.

Love her for being brave enough to wear a dress when society said she is a ‘he’ and he should wear jeans. That night, with Dad still away, Dean tells Sam he saw her earlier, he knows her secret. She pales white as a ghost and tears dampen her eyes, she is so frightened he will hate her and think she is a freak, but Dean leans forward and kisses Sam’s lips and promises “I will always love you, forever and always.”
