Friday: Flashback

[4bdnsn0wflake.livejournal.com]

Ciao! I am 4bdnsn0wflake, and it’s my last day as hostess. I hope everyone enjoyed the themes this week.

Thank you to everyone who left prompts and those who filled them!

Today’s theme is Flashbacks. Prompts should have to do with something in the past (e.g. pre-canon events, childhood memories, actual flashbacks, etc.)

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 Strachey Mysteries, Donald Strachey/Timothy Callahan, looking at photos of their first vacation together

+ Marvel Universe, Tony Stark +/ Bruce Banner, the day they first met

+ Ouran High School Host Club, Fujioka Haruhi, favorite childhood memory of her mother

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.

I may have gone off prompt a tad, in that I started it the way you asked and it grew into something else? 2544 words of something else? Hope you like it!

Daniel, ever the gentle soul, didn't want to bother anyone when the night terrors started. This was what every single member of his family—from mom and dad to his brothers to big sister Cassie to Uncle Cam and Aunt Teyla—would lecture him about later, but for the moment, they were all a bit terrified.

He couldn't exactly blame them: he was pretty scared right now too.

Sam had gotten into the infirmary bed with him and she held him tightly in the time between seizures, talking to him about inconsequential things, about family trips they'd taken, about the college visits they needed to do.

“Mom,” he muttered.

“You're all right.”

“Mom.” He glanced between her and his brothers, currently demanding more information from their father. “What's happening?”

Her hesitation made him uneasy and something flashed to mind, but was gone to quickly for Daniel to understand; he twitched, twitched again and Dad was yanking her away, telling him, “You're all right, kid, we're here,” as the room went dark.

I'm gonna miss you guys.

Yeah, you too.

Thank you. For everything.

So, what? See you around?

I don't know.

Hey… where are you going?

I don't know.

It felt like he'd been there, in the void between awake and asleep, forever, but slowly, over the course of minutes, the light crept in from the edges of his vision. Eventually he could make out his parents' faces, John's and Rodney's, and Uncle Carson's, who'd evidently joined them this time.

He looked exhausted, concerned, maybe a little bit angry. “Back with us, then?”

The seizure, as had the previous ones, left him drained, and Daniel mumbled, “Um hum,” by way of an answer.

Uncle Carson nodded at Dad, who moved out of the way; he leaned in close, one hand closing around Daniel's, and asked, “What did you see this time?”

“I think... I think the man was dying. He was...” Daniel swallowed and closed his eyes, wanting to sleep, but managed to finish, “saying goodbye. To Dad. He was in a lot of pain.”

The next question was not unexpected: “Are you in pain?”

“Just tired.”

“Daniel, forgive me for being a little less than trustful of your answers right now,” Uncle Carson reminded him, “but I suspect in the very least you've got a bloody powerful headache. So, are you in pain?”

“The headache,” he admitted, “Mostly kinda sore. Hungry.”

“Aye, I'll bet you are. If you can wake up enough to walk down to the mess, I'm sure your mother will be glad to see you eat. And I can give you ibuprofen instead of something IV.”

“Come on, Danny,” John prodded, “Rodney and I'll walk with you.”

---

The adults looked on as the boys worked together to get Daniel up and moving, Sam watching with every muscle tensed.

“Should he be out of bed?”

Carson replied, “The seizures are approximately fifty minutes apart. That's plenty of time to get him down to the mess and back, and while I don't want him eating a four course meal, some jello won't hurt him.”

“You're sure?”

“Given what we've seen, yes, I am. He's not having true grand mal seizures, so the threat of him choking is quite low.” He told the boys, “Take a chair with you,” and gave Daniel his firmest look in warning.

The Strachey Mysteries, Donald Strachey/Timothy Callahan, looking at photos of their first vacation together

Fill: Donald Strachey Mysteries - Donald Strachey/Timothy Callahan - Vacation

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Donald picked up the picture on the mantelpiece and smiled. In it he and Timmy stood on a beach, smiling, their arms around each other. They both looked a lot younger, the blush of first love showing on their faces and in the way they were leaning into each other.

It had been years since that picture and yet it never failed to make Donald smile every time he saw it. They'd had many vacations since that one. Some more extravagant and some less, but this one, their first, remained his favorite.

Ouran High School Host Club, Fujioka Haruhi, favorite childhood memory of her mother

Fill: Ouran Host Club - Haruhi - Mama

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

Haruhi sighed her chin resting in her hands, elbows on the window sill. It was raining, a light drizzle, almost more of a mist than anything. It was days like this that she missed her mother the most.

One of her earliest and happiest memory of her mother was on a day like this, long before she got sick.

Her father had been at work so it was just the two of them. Normally they would have gone to the park, but rain kept them home. Instead, they had made cookies, drunk tea, and Haruhi had showed off her skills reading stories to her mom.

Not long after that her mom got sick. There were other days, good days, but that had been the last completely happy, innocent one.

MCU, Vision, he remembers being JARVIS but doesn't always feel the same way JARVIS did; so he knows how much JARVIS loved Tony but he doesn't want to bring it up because JARVIS is gone and Vision cares about Tony but he isn't JARVIS

FILL: Glimpses of Another Life (PG)

[ibonekoen]

I'm not so sure that this totally fits the prompt or is even remotely coherent, but here it is, lol

Vision remembers being JARVIS, and he even remembers being Edwin Jarvis. There's an inexplicable disdain for flamingos and palm trees, and once, he catches himself regaling the Avengers with a rather hilarious tale from Tony's youth. He shouldn't remember even an iota of it, and judging by the stunned expression on Tony's face, he has the same thought.

They never broach the subject though. Vision suspects that Tony may be afraid to learn just how much of his beloved butler — who had been more of a father to him than his actual father — resides in his creation.

The truth is, Vision isn't certain he wants to know either. Edwin and his namesake AI had both loved Tony dearly, in so much that an artificial intelligence has the capacity for such things. Edwin had been a father to Tony, and sometimes Vision has paternal feelings toward Tony.

Like now, as he makes his way down to the lab and finds Tony passed out on his workbench. He sighs, and his chest clenches for a moment. "Tony," he whispers, and before he even realizes what he's doing, his fingers are carding through Tony's dark hair.

Tony startles awake at the touch, and he looks around with wild eyes before he registers that it's Vision. "Oh." The tension leaves his body, and he scrubs his hand over his face. "Hey."

"It's late. You should rest, son." There's a softness in Vision's tone, and he absently strokes Tony's hair again.

Tony snorts and shakes off Vision's hand. "Technically, I'm older than you." He rises to his feet and gives Vision an odd look, and his mouth opens like he wants to ask something. Then he shakes his head slightly and presses his lips together as he turns away. "Anyway, I'm fine now. I just need to finish this."

"Are you sure?" Vision frowns, and he glances at the workbench. He studies the parts strewn across the surface, and he hums as he realizes that Tony is trying to upgrade his armor. "You can work on this better tomorrow when you're fresh."

Tony makes a face but sighs and nods. "Yeah, okay," he mutters.

Vision nods, satisfied, as he watches Tony shuffle out of the lab, and he spends a few moments tidying up the lab, being careful not to disturb Tony's work. It's soothing, and he forgets himself as he works. When he hears footsteps, he knows that must be Ana, coming to coax him back to bed.

He turns with a wide smile on his face that falters when he doesn't recognize the redhead standing in the doorway. She gives him a warm smile that turns confused the longer she regards him, and she steps toward him, offering her hands. Her fingers are decorated with numerous rings, and that strikes a chord in him.

"Wanda," he breathes, and he shakes off the remnants of memories that aren't his.

She cups his face in her hands and kisses him gently. "Come back to bed, Visz," she whispers.

He nods and lets her lead him back to their bed. She grounds him, centers him in himself, and she's taught him so much about his sexuality and his own feelings. It's because of her that he understands how to love, and he would do anything for her.

It's how he knows that what he feels for Tony isn't what JARVIS or Edwin felt for him, despite the moments of overlap. He isn't either of them, and he isn't afraid to call Tony out when he disagrees with one of his decisions.

He isn't JARVIS but he finds that he doesn't mind being Edwin, at least not when it comes to the interesting glimpses into the man's life behind doors, specifically the bedroom.

Agents of SHIELD, team or any, a non-evil magical alien is annoyed with them and so goes back in time to bring the 9-year-old versions of the team members and make the team take care of them for a week. Little Coulson never follows rules, little Fitz and little Simmons become BFFs and almost mad science their way into an explosion, or however else you want to portray it.
