AU Friday!

[truthwritaslies.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m truthwritaslies and today's theme is AU. Prompts can be any Alternate Universe from minor canon adjustments to full on canon divergence.

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...
+ Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes +/John Watson, Person of Interest AU
+ Gotham, Jim Gordon/Oswald Cobblepot, Coffee Shop AU
+ Dresden Files, Harry Dresden (+ Any), Hogwarts AU

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.

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 2/2: law guardian!Sam AU

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

“Oh. Okay. Thanks,” he said. “I’ll bear that in mind.”

Dean whistled. “See, this is why I’m a mechanic. No crazy kids, no legal drama. I don’t get why you keep doing what you do, Sam. You went to freakin’ Stanford. You could be rolling in the dough, and here you are, working for the state for crap pay, and all day you deal with other people’s problems and angry parents yell at you.”

Dad nodded his agreement. “Sammy, if this is getting too tough -”

“I’m handling it, I promise,” Sam said. He smiled at Jess. “Pass the potatoes, honey? Also, how were things for you today?”

“See, I like hearing about Jess’s job,” Dean said. “I like laughing at other people’s misery.”


Lisa smacked him on the arm. “Dean!”

“Don’t judge him too harshly,” Jess said. “Half of the time, when an ER nurse says she needs to get someone for a consult, what she means is she needs to duck into the nearest soundproof space and laugh herself to tears because what you did was hilariously stupid.”

“I feel so much better about the medical profession already,” Dad grumbled. “What about you, Lisa? How are things at the yoga studio?”

“Actually,” Lisa said, “I had to send one of my students Jess’s way.” She cast Jess a look, and Jess’s eyes lit with realization.

“Oh, that guy?” Jess burst out laughing. “Okay, no names, but let me tell you about the guy with the bright red yoga pants and the British accent -”

Sam watched his family smile and eat and was glad they were happy and safe. He glanced at Mom and noticed, however, that her face was pale and drawn, her brow furrowed with thought. After dinner, when Sam helped her with the dishes, she pulled him aside.

“Sammy,” she said, and she rarely called him that; that was Dad and Dean’s name for him. “You’re more open-minded than your father and brother. Listen to me: salt all the windows and doors on your house when you get home, okay? While the others are watching the movie, I’ll show you how it’s done here.”

“Mom?” Sam asked, concerned.

“Just trust me, okay?”

He nodded, even though he wasn’t sure what to think. He didn’t salt every door and window at his house, just all the entrances to the bedroom. He felt silly doing it, waited till Jess was settled in the bath to do it, but he did it anyway, because something in Mom’s gaze had unsettled him.

He woke in the middle of the night with the strangest sensation that he was being watched. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man standing just beyond the threshold of the bedroom door, and the man had yellow eyes.

The next day, Sam told the detention center to let his client have her salt, and then he quietly asked that the case be transferred to one of the other law guardians in the office.

A week later, Linda Tran and her son Kevin died in a tragic house fire.

Holy moly! This was super good. I like the law guardian angle, and that Sam inadvertently stumbled across a hunter's kid. I was wondering if his mom was going to say anything about her experiences growing up, and I'm glad she did. Advising Sam to salt his doors was a smart idea.

And poor Trans! Oh no!

Great job on this prompt!!

Thanks! One of my friends was just mentioning today that I probably write to avoid my work if at all possible, that writing about it must be awful, and truth is, I've had a guardian!Sam AU kicking around on my hard drive for a while now, and I've never finished it so, I did the lazy thing and made it tiny and put it here. The hunter kid he runs into was originally established as an actual hunter kid, but in this scenario he couldn't actually say her name, so there you go. Maybe one day I'll write the full version of this story.
