And I'm [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen finishing out my week.

Today's theme is Retirement. Whether forced, voluntary or just strategic, prompts can be for anything on this subject.

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 examples to get the ball rolling...
Battle Creek, Milt Chamberlain/Russ Agnew, Russ doesn't understand why Milt is talking about taking really early retirement
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (TV or film), Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin, Napoleon has made plans for his retirement even though he knows spies don't usually make it that far
Forever, Henry Morgan /+ Retirement is really not an option

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.

Quatre took a deep breath then signed his name on the last page of a large stack of documents then sat back, immediately wondering if he had done the right thing. He'd put a lot of time and thought into the decision to turn over the day to day running of WEI to his sisters, but that didn't mean he wouldn't wonder if it was the right choice. After all, he was a master of second guessing himself.

Pushing his chair back away from the antique desk that his father had used, Quatre stood and rolled his neck before moving to look out the window. He could step back in at any time if he wanted or felt he needed to. That had been a non-negotiable part of the deal. He was the Winner heir and even if he had chosen to pursue other things that didn't mean he was any less responsible to the health, security and ethics of the family business.

Looking out over the city he smiled. The last shreds of doubt fading away like fog before the rising sun. He felt light; free in a way that he never had before. His life was spread out before him, filled with endless highways and hidden side roads to explore. It was a little overwhelming, but in the best possible way.

Yes. So good. Quatre sacrificed so much for others and despite his privileged upbringing did little for himself. It's good to see him take a chance to go be him.
