chetvărtăk: Engagement/Marriage

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon, everyone! I’m still doreyg and today's theme is Engagement/Marriage. Prompts can be anything to do with engagement or marriage, be it a young couple getting engaged or an old married pair renewing their vows.

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 committed examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Justice League International, Booster Gold/Ted Kord, married in Vegas
+ Harry Potter – JK Rowling, Ginny Weasley/Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Adventurous Honeymoon
+ Marvel, Miles Morales/Kamala Khan, his hands are shaking when he proposes to her

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.

Have fun! :D

Stargate Multiverse, Any, proposal made in the middle of a fire fight/battle/etc.

Fill: SGA, Evan/Ronon

"Marry me," Evan said quietly.

Rodney turned to stare at him. "What?"

They were hunkered down behind a massive piece of fallen masonry, taking cover from hostile natives who were, unfortunately, between them and the gate.

"Not you." Evan lifted his chin. "Ronon?"

"Sure," Ronon said. "Aren't you supposed to kneel and give me a ring or something?"

John snorted. "Have you been watching rom coms with Jennifer again?"

"I have a ring for you back in Atlantis," Evan said. "And we're sort of kneeling now. I just wanted to ask when -"

"When we're in the middle of a life-or-death situation?" Rodney hissed.

Teyla said, "You may have Torren for a ring-bearer, if you wish."

John cast her a look. "You've been watching rom coms too."

Evan eased up, peered over the masonry. "Looks like the natives are regrouping. Stevens, Williams, cover fire."

"Yes, sir," Stevens said. "And congratulations, sir."

Evan smiled. "Thank you. Now, on three, two, one, cover fire!"

Gunfire exploded overhead. Evan launched himself over the masonry and bolted for the gate, firing madly. Ronon headed after him, dragging Rodney.

"Dial it up," Ronon yelled, pushing Rodney toward the DHD. He turned and loosed a blast from his hand cannon.

"Just so you know," Rodney said, "this is totally unromantic."

Ronon grinned. "No, this is perfect."

The wormhole engaged just as John and Teyla caught up.

"For the record," Rodney said to John, "when you propose to me, it better be more romantic than this."

"Noted," John said. "You go through the gate. I'll hold it till Stevens and Williams -"

Stevens and Williams came tearing toward the gate.

"I'm a licensed chaplain, sir," Williams said to Evan. "I'd be more than willing to -"

Rodney shoved him through the gate on principle.

Marvel Cinematic Universe, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, when one wants to propose who do they talk to about getting a blessing (since their families are long gone)?

Fill 1/2: (post-Pokemon)

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

Bucky was going to do it. They'd been courting for six months, but they'd been friends forever, fought a war side-by-side, shared experiences no one else could relate to (cold, sleep, time stolen). So Bucky was going to do it. He was going to ask Steve to marry him. He contacted T'Challa to ask for a vibranium wedding band, he poked around to see how one went about arranging a wedding between two men (yes it was a new century but Bucky had slept through most of the previous one and he was still secretly thrilled every time he got to hold Steve's hand in public), and he did scary domestic things, like look for potential apartments of their own back in Brooklyn.

He planned a nice dinner so he could do the asking. It was a new century, but Bucky wanted to do things right, and right meant getting down on one knee.

Right meant getting someone's blessing.

But whose? Steve's entire family was gone. Everyone who'd known Steve before the Big Sleep was gone or senile or -

And then Bucky knew. So one night, when most everyone at Stark Tower was asleep or out on a mission or somewhere far away and distracted, Bucky set out. He took the train to Brooklyn and walked the streets, searching, scanning, waiting.

Then he heard it, the hiss of spray paint coming from a can. He turned down an alley and - there.

A tiny girl, barely five feet tall, wearing a pair of ratty jeans, a hoodie with cat ears, was standing in front of the wall, paint cans arrayed at her feet. She was painting a mural of - it took Bucky a moment to realize.

Atlantis. He recognized the spiky skyline from the slew of news stories that had dominated the internet and air waves and the digital billboards all over Times Square.

He also recognized the silhouettes painted below the city - Evan, Sheppard, McKay, Teyla, Ronon, Weir, Carter, Woolsey.

He cleared his throat. “Emma?”

She spun around, knife in hand. Then she paused. “Oh, hey Jack Frost. What's up?” She sheathed the knife somewhere in her hoodie and turned back to her mural. She was spreading blue ocean beneath the feet of the silhouettes.

“I - you're one of Steve's best friends. He trusts you a lot. Your opinion means a lot to him.”

“You're his boyfriend.” Emma set down one can of paint and picked up another, stepped back and contemplated her work, shaking the paint can all the while.


“I want to be more,” Bucky said, before he could lose his nerve.

Emma spun back around. She pushed her hood back and marched closer to him, leaned up on her toes to peer at him. “You mean you want to marry him?”

“Yes.”

Emma shrugged and stepped back. “So ask him.” She turned away again.”

Bucky swallowed hard. “I want to, but I - I need your blessing.”

Emma glanced over her shoulder at him, raised her eyebrow. “You do know what century it is, right?”

“I do, but I believe in doing things right, and this is the right way. For me and for Steve.” Bucky drew himself up taller. He’d fought Nazis. There was no reason to be afraid of one little girl and what she’d say, right?

“You think Steve would ask for someone’s blessing before he proposed to you?” Emma spread more blue across the brick wall.

“You know he would.”

Emma smiled. “Yeah, he would. Would you leave Steve hanging forever, if I said no?”

“Well, no, but -”

“Then what does my blessing matter?”

Bucky wet his lips. “Marrying Steve isn’t just marrying Steve, it means committing to him and supporting the relationships that are important to him, and if I had to wait a bit, work on things, I’d be willing to do that.”

Emma paused in her painting again, trundled across the alley to peer at him once more. She beckoned, and Bucky leaned in, nervous. She peered into his eyes, and it was disconcerting, such intense scrutiny so close, but whatever Emma was searching for, she found.

“Go, make Steve happy, with all my blessings.” She pressed a kiss to Bucky’s cheek.

He was startled by the brief warmth of her lips, but then he couldn’t help himself. He smiled. Emma turned and sauntered back to her mural.

Two days before the wedding, the maid of honor and the best man have a meeting. Steve looks frazzled.

"The tuxedo fitting was a nightmare," he reports. "We all got chewed out."

Natasha raises an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"Tony needs 'a proper shave', Clint needs to lose the purple socks, pronto, and if I show up in running shoes, I'm going to get my ass kicked." He looks hurt. "Of course I'm not going to wear these things to the wedding, but it's not like it makes a difference for the fitting."

Nat smirks. "Usually it's the bride who goes off the deep end with details."

"How's she holding up?"

"She's fine. She just shrugs and says she would have been perfectly happy to go to City Hall and take care of it. He wanted a big wedding, he can do all the heavy lifting."

Steve shakes his head. "He's got that nephew of his making the cake, all his buddies in the cafeteria are handling the food and he's driving some poor event planner Pepper knows crazy about the reception set-up. Last I saw him, he was on the phone with some florist about daisies and ranunculus. What the heck is a ranunculus, anyway?"

"You know what a daisy is? Well, look at the arrangements, and if it isn't a daisy, it must be ranunculus."

This earns her an eyeroll. "This whole thing is ranunculus. You'd think he was a General organizing an invasion force the way he's carrying on."

"Look at the bright side--in 48 hours, we'll be partying, and you know Tony is supplying the bar and the champagne."

"I never thought I'd see the day when Bucky would be jumping up and down to get married. I swear, back in the day, he dated every chorus girl on Broadway."

"You might not want to share that in the best man's speech."

"No, of course not." He sighs again. "Tony's taking us to Atlantic City tonight to party. I just hope I can keep them out of trouble."

"Pepper is taking us girls to her favorite spa. We're all going to have massages and mani-pedis, some wine and cheese..." She smiles impishly, "And don't tell her, but a troupe of male strippers may be making an appearance."

That gets a chuckle out of Steve. "Can you get pictures? I want to see the looks on their faces."

"I'll do what I can," Natasha agrees, "but what I'm really looking forward to is the expression on Bucky's face when he realizes Nick Fury is walking Maria down the aisle."
