Wednesday :: Technology
Nov. 22nd, 2016 09:07 pmHello, everyone.
adamas here, and today's theme is Technology. Prompts can be anything to do with technology! (Sorry for the very early posting, I'll be driving overnight, but didn't want to miss my Wednesday!).
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...
+ Syfy’s Alice; Hatter; the process of making the special teas...
+ The Avengers; Ensemble; Hydra’s got some new toys
+ Harry Potter; Harry Potter +/ Hermione Granger; how muggle technology affected their friendship over the years...
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: 2016-11-24 05:49 pm (UTC)He and Evan were sitting in the dark, in the basement, waiting for someone with a flashlight or candle or something to come find them. By some stroke of luck, they'd both been granted Earthside leave at Thanksgiving. When David learned that Evan, who'd grown up on a hippie commune, had never celebrated an actual Thanksgiving outside of the military (rejecting the racist and imperialist overtones of the holiday), he'd invited Evan to Thanksgiving with him.
David was from New England. The fall colors would be beautiful. Evan, an artist and amateur photographer, could take pictures to show to Teyla and Ronon.
Also, the food would be amazing.
What Evan hadn't known was that David had grown up shy, had been more interested in plants than people, and Evan was literally the first friend David had ever brought home to dinner. So David's parents and siblings had fallen all over Evan to be civil and welcoming, assumed Evan was some kind of scientist like David, that he was David's best friend ever (David's best friend ever was Kusanagi in Engineering, Evan's was his navigator from flight school, Naomi Cartwright), and done their best to impress him and convince him to - to keep David, or something.
In the whirlwind of hugs and snacks and introductions, neither Evan nor David had had a chance to explain how things really were. They were teammates. Evan was a soldier charged with David's safety. David was the lead botanist on a classified military expedition.
So they'd offered to come down to the wine cellar to fetch the first round of wine for the evening, and then the power had gone out.
Neither man had a fancy cell phone with a flashlight, because cell phones were pointless on Atlantis, and the government was cheap, had issued them simple flip phones so they could be reached in case of an emergency. David didn’t know his way around the basement well enough to have a hope of navigating it in total darkness, and he said his father collected dangerous things, like rusty farming implements with dull blades, so they’d best stay put.
Now they were huddled together next to the wine rack, shivering.
Evan hadn't accompanied David out of pity. He really, really liked David, and wanted a chance to get to know him better, see him outside of their professional acquaintance, and if it felt right, once they got back to Atlantis, he'd make his move. Because if he was wrong, well, making a move while he was trapped on Earth with David's family would be so, so awkward.
”Think they've remembered we're down here?” Evan asked.
“I'm really sorry. This is such an old house.” David sighed. “Mom's probably making sure all the kids are accounted for, and then she'll look for the candles, but Aunt Tessa will have moved them because she's a meddler, and -”
His voice was speeding up. He was panicking.
Evan slid an arm around his shoulders. “Hey, hey, calm down. It's all right.”

Date: 2016-11-23 08:47 pm (UTC)"Put your iPad down and come to bed."
The words were uttered in a tone of exasperated fondness and Caitlin looked behind her to see Joe standing at the bottom of the stairs, barefoot in pyjama pants and a t-shirt, lips pressed together in a thin line that twitched at the edges. She felt her cheeks flush and she bit her lip as she laid down the iPad beside her. "I'm sorry-" she began but he didn't let her finish, held up a hand to forestall any further explanations.
"I don't need an apology." He stepped into the room, came around the couch and dropped down beside her. "It's not like I didn't know what I was getting into when we got involved." He glanced over at the iPad screen, nose wrinkling in confusion as he caught sight of the data displayed there. "Workaholic."
He said it with a smile and a squeeze of her knee. "I just feel like I'm so close..." She let the frustration she was feeling bleed into her voice, finding it easier to do that with him than with Barry or Cisco or any version of Harrison Wells. They all gave ideas, opinions, suggestions as to what she could do, most of which she'd already considered and dismissed, the rest of which she could dismiss straight away as impossible. Joe, on the other hand, with no scientific background whatsoever, would just listen to her, let her vent, asking the odd question for clarification but mostly just letting her ramble.
It had actually helped her become unstuck in her research a few times.
Tonight though she was too exhausted to even ramble, the data already having started to jumble in front of her eyes. "I know the answer is there," she concluded weakly. "I just can't see it..."
Joe actually snorted. "Sweetheart, tired as you are, I'm surprised you can see anything," he told her flatly. The hand that was on her knee slid up higher, the other one touching her face. "Let me take you to bed." That might usually be accompanied by a saucy grin, a twinkle of his eye; tonight, he was serious and sober. "Tomorrow's another day."
Caitlin looked down at the cold glare of the iPad screen, then up into the warmth of Joe's gaze. With a contrast like that, her choice was as easy as the smile that came to her lips. "Lead on," she murmured, allowing him to pull her into a stand, and she didn't have to ask him twice.
