comment_ficDzien dobry! It’s hump day, and I am your hostess this week, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
4bdnsn0wflake.
Today’s theme is Favorite Tropes, which are plots/plot devices used so often, they are almost immediately recognizable.
So turn an ugly duckling into a swan, fall in love with your best friend, or force your friends and enemies to work together for a common cause, but have fun!
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...
+ The Boondock Saints, Connor MacManus + Murphy MacManus, Good Cop/Bad Cop
+ Any, Any/Any, Meet Cute (e.g. they literally bump into each other in a coffee shop)
+ Harry Potter, Hermione Granger +/ Draco Malfoy, from Enemies to Friends and/or Lovers
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.

Date: 2016-10-05 04:09 pm (UTC)Fill 1/2: Jedi!John AU
Date: 2017-02-05 05:58 am (UTC)Of course John had that skill as well, so Rodney was left staring at the ceiling, hyper-aware of John’s warmth and the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed and holding very, very still so they didn’t touch.
For the last few weeks, John had been ubiquitous. Constantly underfoot. Insufferable nice, following Rodney around, hanging onto his every word, helping him initialize things in the lab, doing lightning-fast calculations in his head, making sure Rodney was kept supplied with coffee and snacks. Sure, he went running with O’Neill and Ford in the mornings, and he trained and meditated with Teyla every day, and he listened obediently as Kusanagi taught him to read and write English, but Rodney was never free of his presence.
And it was distracting, and unfair.
These days John wore a uniform instead of his old Jedi robes, and he’d cut off his weird little Padawan braid and kept himself clean-shaven, and apart from the messiness of his hair and his black wristband (and the lightsaber at his hip), he looked like any other soldier (including the pistol strapped to his thigh - and oh, Newton, his thighs). He wore soldier boots, and he learned how to salute O’Neill and Ford (which was weird, because he was older than both of them, but so were a handful of the Marine NCOs), and he’d started saying things like cool and ya think? and fer cryin’ out loud, but he still said May the Force be with you instead of good luck, and he still called Rodney Master.
“Master?”
Rodney blinked. “Wait - what?”
“Master, are you awake?” John’s voice was soft, barely above a whisper.
“No,” Rodney hissed. “I’m asleep.”
“But you just answered me.”
“I’m talking in my sleep.”
“You’re talking coherently.”
“People can sound coherent even when they sleep talk. Any moment now I’ll sound incoherent, though. We don’t obey the laws of thermodynamics in this house.”
A Simpsons reference was completely lost on John. The blankets rustled as John rolled over, closer to Rodney.
“Master Rodney?”
“Still sleeping, here.”
“Rodney. I’m sorry.”
Rodney rolled over to face him, startled. “Sorry for what?”
In the darkness, John’s eyes gleamed. “I’m sorry for - for being so cruel, after I Descended.”
Interesting. He called it Descended instead of De-Ascended. “Mindblowing sex isn’t cruel,” Rodney said snippily. “Refusing to engage in it ever again for no good reason is cruel, however.”
John sighed. “You don’t understand. I grew up hearing the stories of Anakin Skywalker and his turn to the Dark Side, how he fell in love with Padme Amidala and his love for her broke him, turned him into a Sith Lord, and he nearly wiped out all the Jedi in the galaxy, including his own son.”
“Well, you’re not Mannequin Slywater, and I’m not Panda Mandala, and neither of us have children to wipe out.”

Date: 2016-10-05 04:11 pm (UTC)Fill -- Oh Very Young (WARNING: Dark fic)
Date: 2016-10-05 10:19 pm (UTC)There are a half-dozen uniforms standing around, wearing various masks of anger and grief. "She's awfully young," Howell tells them.
As they approach the yellow tape, Danny stops in his tracks. He's staring at the pitiful remains sprawled on the grass with a horrified expression. "Grace," he whispers.
Steve looks closely, wincing at what's been done to the girl. "It's not her. It is definitely not her. This one is way younger, look, she's missing baby teeth, got a new one coming in--"
"I remember when Grace was that age." Danny, who's been known to leave crime scenes and go to lunch, is so pale every freckle shows. He's swaying a little.
Steve reaches out, grabs Danny's hand in his and grips it hard. Let the unis think what they want. Danny looks like he's about to go into shock, and he can't let that happen. "I know you're rattled, but it isn't her. And the only thing we can do that will help her is our job."
Danny just barely nods. For a moment, he clutches Steve hand hard. He's taking deep breaths, and the color begins to return to his face.
"I want a piece of the bastard that did this," he mutters, pulling his hand away and standing taller.
"Definitely." Steve seconds that, flexing his fingers. "I'm with you."
The crime scene van rolls in, and they get to work.

Date: 2016-10-05 04:12 pm (UTC)FILL: Shadowhunters, Magnus/Alec
Date: 2017-09-25 10:50 pm (UTC)Snow was falling outside the warm confines of the apartment, blanketing the town in whiskey white kisses. Alec was putting the festive touches on decorating the tree when, with amused fondest, he caught sight of Magnus walking towards him with mistletoe in hand.
Magnus knows the custom is silly, maybe a little even childish, and yet the moment his gaze meets Alec’s, his darling angel is dashing across the room, wrapping him up into a bone crushing hug. All the air sort of flies out of his lungs as he embraces his soul mate, smiling as brightly as the sun, and he leans in, grinning like a fool in love, kissing his angel under the mistletoe.

Date: 2016-10-05 05:01 pm (UTC)Fill: Astro, Dongmin/Minhyuk + Jinwoo (but also + Myungjun)
Date: 2020-09-23 09:41 pm (UTC)But Jinwoo staggered into the dorms late one night after he’d spent all day in his personal studio working on a song and there they were, standing in the kitchen, Minhyuk wrapped in Dongmin’s arms, head tilted back while Dongmin leaned down to meet him, kissing sweetly, like a scene out of one of Bin’s webtoons.
Jinwoo had immediately ducked back into the foyer, heart pounding, till he heard them separate, have a murmured conversation about what to make for a midnight snack. And then he made a lot of noise to let them know he was there.
In the days that followed, he watched them closely, and he didn’t notice anything different about the way they interacted, no additional closeness, no stolen glances, but he knew.
And he was jealous, because he’d been in love with Dongmin for years. Everyone had fallen in love with Dongmin just a little bit the first time he’d stepped into the practice room, because he was beautiful. But then he was also goofy and smart and hardworking, and how could anyone resist?
Jinwoo watched them, and then he started to see the cracks in their platonic friendship, the mornings when Minhyuk would slip out of Dongmin’s bedroom, the times when Minhyuk would check his phone right after Dongmin sent a text message on his. He noticed when they started wearing a matching pair of rings. People forget Jinwoo had been an honor student once upon a time, but the formula inscribed in them - the solution to it was infinity.
Everyone noticed that Dongmin’s dancing was improving, and the others joked that Minhyuk was trying to become closer to Dongmin.
Too late.
Jinwoo considered himself a rational person, a calm person. Minhyuk was handsome, talented, hardworking. He was a dance genius the way Dongmin was, well, an academic genius. He and Dongmin were two sides of the same coin. It was easy to see why they were attracted to each other. But Jinwoo also couldn’t help but wonder, why not me? Because he was also openly bi on the team, had dated boys and girls once their dating ban was lifted. He was smart, had done well in school. He could sing and dance and rap, could choreograph and write songs. He was a good leader. He was patient. What did Minhyuk have that he didn’t?
And then one day Jinwoo walked in on the two of them curled on the couch, talking softly to each other.
“Thank you,” Dongmin said. “I couldn’t do this without you.”
“I couldn’t do this without you either,” Minhyuk admitted.
“But we’ll love him forever, won’t we?”
Minhyuk buried his face against Dongmin’s throat and nodded.
Him? Jinwoo wondered. Him who?
A moment later, Myungjun came bouncing out of the kitchen with a steaming tray of food.
“Here it is! Myungjunnie’s special beef dish!”
Dongmin and Minhyuk separated and sat up, grinning at him, and Jinwoo saw the raw longing in their eyes before they both reached for their chopsticks, and Jinwoo’s heart broke just a little more.
