Apocalyptic Friday

[streussal.livejournal.com]

This is streussal with my last theme for the week: apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic. All fic should be in well, apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic settings. Either canon or AU. Some common types of post-apocalyptic fiction can be found on this wiki page.

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 spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!

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...
+ Dollhouse, Adelle DeWitt/Laurence Dominic (or gen), Epitaph-flashbacks era - love me cancerously
+ Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Jesse Flores/Derek Reese, AU: a non-Skynet apocalypse/post-apocalypse they meet in
+ Death Note, Mello/Near, they team up in a post-apocalyptic verse

We use 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 Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets 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: Yuri on Ice, Yuuri/Viktor, part 1/2

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Yuuri is at the rink when he gets a call from Viktor urging him to rush home, though he won't say why. A million terrible possibilities fill his head as leaves more quickly than he ever has before, shoes pounding on the pavement as he runs down the street. When Viktor meets him at the door of Yu-topia, that's when he gets the news.

An asteroid. Approaching from behind the sun so scientists hadn't notice it until now. Huge, a planet-killer, and no time to do anything about it. The world is going to end in a matter of hours.

He knows immediately that Viktor is telling the truth; his tone is dire, and there's not even a hint of his usual mirth in his eyes. Yuuri can't speak. How does one even respond to something like this, so sudden? The end.

Viktor clearly doesn't expect him to. He holds out a hand, and Yuuri takes it, their fingers twining together, holding tight, as if by some miracle the two of them can stop this.

Viktor leads him into the main room where his parents and Mari are gathered around the television. His mother is crying, his father with his arms around her. Mari just looks stunned. They look over as Viktor and Yuuri enter, and his mother starts crying harder as she gestures him over and pulls him into her arms. She's trying to say something but Yuuri can't understand through her sobs.

“Mom...” he murmurs, hugging her back. Mari wanders over, and his father, and they all cling together for long moments.

Eventually they separate a little and sit, watching the news report. It's strange how innocent the photos look, just a big a rock. A big rock that's going to kill everyone. What do you even say in the fact of that? The reporters obviously don't know either; they keep stumbling and stuttering, more emotional and shaken than Yuuri has ever seen before.

Six hours, they say. Someone has even put up a nice little countdown graphic. Yuuri almost laughs, bitter and broken as it would be. Someone took the time to make that even with the little time they have left.

“Yuuri.”

He turns, startled to hear Viktor's voice in the relative quiet. He's standing near the door. “Come with me?”

“Where are you going?” Yuuri's mother asks shakily, turning wide, teary eyes on them.

“Just outside,” Viktor says soothingly. “May we have some time alone, before...” He trails off.

“Of course,” she whispers, huddling into her husband's arms again.

In a daze, Yuuri takes Viktor's hand and follows him outside. It's strange. The sky is as blue as it was before. There's not a cloud in the sky, nothing sinister on the wind. They can't see their death racing toward them.

Viktor pulls them down onto a bench and for the longest time just looks at him. Yuuri bites his lip and stares into his eyes. There's no fear there, he thinks, not exactly. Only sorrow and regret.

Abruptly, Viktor takes his face in his hands and pulls him in for a kiss. Fierce at first, tongue and teeth and hot breath, but soon it gentles into a touch meant to soothe, tender and soft. When he finally pulls back and leans their foreheads together, his eyes are wet.

“I wanted so much more time with you,” he whispers.

Yuuri does his best to hold back his own tears. “We never even got to get married.”

“You never won the Grand Prix Final.”

Yuuri chokes on a pitiful excuse for a laugh. “As if that matters now.”

“It was what you wanted. What I wanted for you.”

Yuuri shakes his head, wordless again. Then: “At least I got to have you,” he whispers. “That's worth more than all the gold medals in the world.”

That's what breaks Viktor. Tears falling, he kisses him again. “I love you so much, Yuuri. No matter what, that's what matters.”

Yuuri nods fiercely, clinging to him as sobs wrack his body.

Any, any, a creature-focused apocalypse with any creature besides zombies

Fill: BtVS, Andrew+Buffy

[foxstarreh.livejournal.com]

"I didn't mean to," says Andrew. "You know that, right? I didn't mean to. Buffy? Guys?"

And, honestly, Buffy's this close to wringing his neck without meaning to, but she's got a big headache from how many times he's said these words in the past two days and also from overwhelming feces smell that's taken over the entire city thanks to Andrew's not meaning to.

Also she's a little busy with the fighting to survive thing, but when is that ever not happening?

The stabbing and swinging with the scythe isn't overly effective. It works fine if she lands a hit, but there are hundreds of them out there, all small and crazy fast.

But if she just keeps swinging, slashing, chopping, and dicing, she might be able to wait until Willow's spell is ready to freak out over the trauma of waking up to Spike's cat dropping a dead monkey corpse on her.

(Nah, she's not gonna get over that one.)
