Thursday: Minor Characters

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone, I’m drabblewriter back for day four, and today's theme is minor characters. Today is all about shining the spotlight on those who don't get it in canon.

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...
+ example
+ example
+ example

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.

It doesn't matter that the witch is dead now. It doesn't matter that the boy and girl got away free. The candy house is decomposing, nature weathering away the sweetness into nothing, and the oven goes untouched.

The other children will lose the place they call home, soon enough having only the woods to surround them.

No one thinks dead children care about where they live, that it doesn't matter if there is a roof over their heads or blankets around their shoulders. No one thinks that dead children care about much of anything.

But they've grown to love the house, love the warmth of the oven, love the sweet smell of candy in the sunlight. No, the witch was never cared for but her home had become theirs.

It's falling apart now, windows breaking, doors cracking beneath the elements. They're going to lose the only good thing the witch ever did for them and they're going to lose it soon.

They never wanted to live in ruins, never wanted to exist within the scraps of what had once been their prison but there isn't anything to be done.

Time moves on, people move on, the house falls apart and yet the children will remain.

Sherlock, Sally Donovan+/Anthea, Sally was never much into texting until she met Anthea

Fill:

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Sally Donovan had never seen the point of exchanging text messages. Of course texts had their place: to confirm an address, or her Dad saying “Can you pick up tea bags when you come over?” (Her Mum had given up trying, she’d never mastered predictive texts and when she had managed to send a message the recipient had had to phone her to find out what she’d meant). But now, with Anthea, she had discovered the joy of sending a quick text when on a stakeout, and receiving a reply some hours later as Anthea hurried from one meeting to the next. And when the case was particularly difficult, or she’d just returned from a harrowing interview with a recently bereaved spouse, Sally would look through their latest texts and, although it didn’t always leave her feeling happy, at least they reminded her there were still good things in the world.

bbc Sherlock, Gregory Lestrade/any, day off, sleeping in, no I will not get up you cannot make me

Re: not sure he qualifies; sure doesn't get any spotlight)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

The first text woke Greg just after seven. He peered bleary eyed at it:
Have possible solution to Travers case, checking
and went back to sleep

Half an hour later there was a further text. Greg put out an arm to reach his phone. His partner pulled him back, but not before he had read:
Now on second solution

The next two texts were ignored. There may have been a fifth, but at that point Greg was rather pre-occupied and neither heard nor cared.

The last text, and the one which finally dragged him out of bed, said merely:
OOPS

The Corps is Mother,

All children get out of line at times, it's the nature of children. Sometimes children need a helping hand, a gentle touch, to set them back on the right path.

All children are sometimes wayward. Telepaths are no different than children sometimes, and it's his job to bring them back into the fold where they belong, where they can be looked after.

Watched over.

The Corps is Father,

Sometimes though, children needed a firmer hand. Willful, rebellious streaks were present in all children, and sometimes that streak remained though adulthood. The Corps' work was his life's work, and sometimes that work included discipline. This discipline just so happened to take place in the mind, behind walls no officer could see.

No one could see.

Mundanes aren't supposed to see. They wouldn't understand. Children always scream and cry before they're punished. Rogues aren't any different, but the need for redirection is the same.


Later, when they had seen the error of the rebel path they had taken, or what would have happened to them (insanity.no family. no home.a life on the run.), they would thank him.

Trust the Corps.
