doreyg and today's theme is Flower Language. Flower Language was a method of communication largely used during Victorian times. By presenting various flowers to people, a variety of meanings was expressed in subtle ways. Today let's apply that method of communication to your favourite characters! Examples can be found here.
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 floral examples to get the ball rolling...
+ MCU, Wanda Maximoff/Steve Rogers, fern (magic)
+ The Alloy of Law – Brandon Sanderson, Wax/Wayne, Gladiolus (I’m really sincere)
+ The Restoration Series – Edward Marston, Christopher Redmayne/Sarah Bale/Jonathan Bale, flax (domesticity)
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!

Date: 2016-05-20 03:54 am (UTC)Steve put the finishing touches on the sidewalk display in front of the shop. There was a little round wrought iron table in front of the window, with two chairs, right by the Free WiFi sign. The planter stand was full of yellow zinnias, available in arrangements or potted, which Steve had just deadheaded and watered. They made a nice spot of color, certain to catch the eye.
When Bucky had been in Afghanistan, Steve had kept a potted yellow zinnia in the front window of the shop. Sometimes real, sometimes silk, depending on the season, but always there. Yellow for remembrance, as if Steve could’ve forgotten Bucky for one minute of one day.
“Good morning, Mr. Rogers.”
Steve turned, a big smile on his face. “Good morning, Kelsey. Happy Friday!”
The young girl blushed. She was on her way to school, decked out in skirt-and-polo uniform, big blue backpack hanging over her shoulders. She nodded her head at the display.
“What do they mean?”
Ever since Steve had told her that flowers had a language, based on type and color, she always asked when a new display went up.
“Those are zinnias. And the yellow ones are reminders of our friends and family who can’t be with us right now.”
“Like yellow ribbons for soldiers?” Kelsey asked.
“Just like that,” Steve replied. He popped one of the blooms off and tucked it into the strap on her backpack, which made her blush again.
“Thanks, Mr. Rogers!”
“Have a good day today.” Steve waved at her, and watched to make sure she made it safely to the bus stop.
When he turned back around to go in the shop he gave a little start. Bucky was sitting at the table, face shadowed by the black hoodie he was wearing. He was really good at sneaking around like a ninja.
“You know I have a bad ticker, right?” Steve kept his tone light and joking, but he didn’t make a move towards the table. Bucky’s posture was giving off serious back off, motherfucker vibes. He had no idea why Bucky’d even left his apartment if he was feeling that bad.
“Who’re you remembering?” Bucky asked, his voice so soft Steve had to strain to hear him.
“My mom. Your mom.” Winnie Barnes had died while Bucky was overseas. Brain aneurysm, so quick and unexpected that there hadn’t been time to do anything but call the coroner. Steve was still heart-broken; Winnie had been a second mother to him growing up. “Friends.”
He approached the table slowly, and slid into the other chair. Now that he had a better view of Bucky’s face, Steve could see that his eyes were red-rimmed.
“What happened, Buck?”
Bucky licked his lips and seemed to retreat even further into himself. Once upon a time, Steve would’ve let him do that without calling him on it. But ever since that kiss, things had changed between them.
Steve extended his hand, left it palm up on the table. Bucky stared at it for a long, long moment, and then tentatively reached out and slotted his fingers alongside Steve’s. It was longer still before he had anything to say.
“I lost a friend.” The words were hushed, and there was a tremor in Bucky’s stubbled chin that had Steve tightly squeezing his hand.
“I’m sorry.” Steve didn’t need to ask to know that the friend was one from Bucky’s time in the Army.
“He couldn’t handle it,” Bucky said. He squeezed Steve’s hand, so hard it hurt.
Steve knew well enough what that meant. Bucky’s friend had taken his own life, sadly not an uncommon choice for soldiers, current and former. Steve looked at the flowers behind Bucky, bright and hopeful and beautiful. Remembrance.
“Tell me about him.”
And for an hour Bucky did just that, never letting go of Steve’s hand, and in the telling he seemed to find a little peace. Some days that was more than a person could hope for.

Date: 2016-05-19 03:04 pm (UTC)"Promise me you'll remember," Regina spoke as she sat across from Emma at Granny's diner.
It was a sudden statement but one Emma understood. One she got because of course Regina would want her to remember. Never forget the stuff they had shared together once she was gone from the cancer they had caught too late.
"Make sure Henry and Georgina never forget me," she frowned as she referred to their children. Henry who had been the reason they had even came together thanks to his curiousness at the park one day when he had been five and ran into her, asking her tons of questions.
Then Georgina, the girl who Regina had carried just five years ago and the girl they were supposed to watch grow up. It wasn't fair that, that dream was being taken from them.
Emma nodded her head, "Always," she spoke though a lump formed in her throat because a part of her was scared that over time she'd forget things or stop remembering Regina herself. "As long as I'm alive I'm never going to forget you," she said as her voice cracked and she felt a few tears going down her cheek. "I'll remember, always," she promised even if she was scared.
Regina smiled though it looked just as sad as Emma felt.
"I love you Emma," she said as she reached across the table for Emma's hand and Emma let her take it.
Though after Regina had a hold of her hand Emma still kept crying, something she hadn't really done since Regina's diagnosis and something she probably wouldn't do again since she had to be strong for the kids during all of this.
