Monday Fun with: Drabbles

[prisca1960.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m prisca1960 and I will be your host this week. Let's start with one of my favorite themes: Drabbles. That means your fic should be exactly 100 words or the multiple of it. 200, 500 or 1000 words ... just go wild and have fun.

Here are 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:

+ NCIS L.A. - G.Cullen - Finding some mysterious hints about his past
+ Supernatural - Sam & Dean Winchester - Ghosts are not always evil
+ Penny Dreadful - Ethan Chandler - Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise again

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.

The Walking Dead (Beth&Daryl, That Other Road 'verse)

Beth's squeal would have alerted any person - dead or alive - in a hundred-yard radius, if Daryl hadn't clamped his free hand over her mouth. He didn't dislike this group they'd fallen in with, this last week, but no need to tempt the curiosity of near-strangers. "You want the whole camp piled up on us to get at this?" he berated her, but held out the carton he'd secreted in the bottom of his pack.

"Oh my God," Beth gushed, grinning as wide as if he'd bought her dinner at a five-star restaurant. "It's cold."

"It's half-melted already."

"Hush. Don't spoil the magic," she whispered playfully, cradling the carton between her hands with reverence and holding it up to rest her cheek on its side, sighing in pleasure. "I can't believe Jesse was hiding a working freezer in that cave -" She gave him a curious look "-or that he parted with something stored in it."

So he'd saved the old man's life - no need to make a fuss out of it. In this world, fresh ice-cream was a fair trade in exchange for the deed and Daryl's silence on the matter.

"Perhaps he has a soft spot for troublesome blondes who don't have enough sense to be afraid of a cranky mean bastard."

Beth laughed, looking at him pointedly. "I've met crankier."

Daryl faked a scowl at that, and she giggled in response.

"But seriously, thanks for the treat. It's gonna be amazing," she said, eyes wide with enthusiasm, as she carefully pried the lid open. "Now grab the spoons from our pack, and let's dig in."

He shook his head. "Brought it for you, girl."

"And I'm sharing," she told him, the tone of her voice hardening just enough to let him know that he had no choice.

Daryl contemplated resistance, just on principle, but the allure of real ice-cream was stronger than the need to prove a little girl had no rule over him. He'd never had much of a sweet tooth before the dead had risen, but his mouth was already watering at the thought of taking a bite too.

"All right," he accepted, making sure to add a bit of a growl to it anyway.

But Beth just smiled back, waving off his pretense of a bad mood. "You'll love it and you know it," she teased.

He shrugged in acknowledgement, but he wasn't thinking of dessert.
