Déardaoin: Pets
Jul. 21st, 2016 06:27 pmAhoy-hoy lowly mortals, I'm
classics_lover, back for another day. Apologies for the tardy post, all the things apparently had to happen today. In other news, today's theme is Pets, however you want to interpret that. Maybe humans are treated as pets by their alien overlords, maybe dogs treat their owners as though they're the pets, maybe it's pet names, as long as pets are involved anything goes!
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...
+ Mass Effect, Shepard + Wrex, "My fish are not food!"
+ Frasier, Frasier Crane, post-canon in Chicago (or San Francisco) Frasier decides his apartment needs a dog
+ Thor, Thor/Jane Foster (+ Darcy Lewis), Thor brings a typical Asgardian pet to Earth and Darcy *loves* it
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.

Date: 2016-07-21 08:19 pm (UTC)Sam pinches the bridge of his nose, watching as Bucky returned from an early morning jog, a black mutt trailing behind. This was becoming too much. Their home was being infested.
“Steve!”
The exclamation jolts Bucky, the former soldier turning to Sam with a small smirk before he hurries down the hall.
A calico cat waltzes over, twining itself around his legs. Sam glares down at it.
“Not you,” he hisses, gently nudging the cat away with his foot. “Steve!”
“I heard you the first time, Sam,” Steve grumbles, walking into the living room with a yawn. “What is it?” He seems unfazed as the calico rubs itself against his legs the moment he enters. Steve scoops up the cat and gently scratches behind the ear.
Sam’s expression sours, “Traitor.”
“What did I do?”
“He’s a freaking Disney princess,” Sam seeths.
Steve blinks, “I’m sorry who?”
“Oh don’t you try that. You know very well who,” pointing down the hall to Bucky’s room. “You’re buddy over there. We have five cats of questionable origins, three mutts. No, I’m sorry make that four since he just came back with a new one and a freaking flock of birds somewhere in this damn place. Everytime he comes back from a walk or run, he has something new with him. How are you not concerned?”
Steve shrugs, “they really aren’t bothersome. Isn’t that right little Steve?” He holds the calico up, and gently bumps noses with the cat, who replies to a soft mew.
Sam throws his hands in the air, “am I really the only one worried here? I love animals, don’t get me wrong. But what if the next time he goes out he comes back with a horse? Those things are huge. We’re running out of space here.”
The blond laughs, “We’re in New York, Sam. The likelihood of a stray horse is very slim.”
He pinches the bridge of his nose again, “you’re missing the point, Steve. We’re being overrun by strays. I’m waiting for the day where he sits outside and just sings to draw all the damn animals in New York to him like he’s Snow White.”
“If you have a problem with it then you talk to him,” Steve hands over the little calico and pats Sam’s shoulder. “Personally, I don’t see a problem with having a few pets. Buck’s been doing a good job taking care of them.”
The older man is gone before Same could reply. He looks down at the little creature commonly known as ‘Little Steve’. “If you have a problem with then you talk to him,” he mocks, gently scratching under the cat's chin. He will talk to him. Not today, he doesn’t want to start any fights, but tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow.
