schweinsty and today's theme is happy endings! We tend to put our favs through a lot of pain in this comm, but it can be just as fun to write about some better times. Prompts should feature a happy ending (your definition of 'happy' may vary) for your characters--post-canon, AU, an 'ending' to a smaller part of the story during canon--the world is your oyster.
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 Force Awakens, Poe Dameron/Snap Wexley, The first time they kiss after the war ends
+ Rogue One, Bodhi Rook + Baze Malbus/Chirrut Imwe,It takes him weeks after Scarif to realize they've taken him in as their family
+ Star Wars, Luke Skywalker/Wedge Antilles, The end of the war is only the beginning of another story
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 2017 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: 2017-01-19 10:31 pm (UTC)FILL: Includes Cheesy 80s music Pt 1/2
Date: 2017-01-19 10:31 pm (UTC)Steve had dug out an old boombox which, miraculously, still worked and flipped through the stations until he finally found something he wanted to listen to.
Danny snickered as he heard the familiar keyboard notes that began REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling" started to play. "What is it with you and cheesy '80s songs, babe?" he asked.
Steve sat down in the adjacent chair on the lanai and shrugged defensively. "It's a good song, Danny." Steve leaned down and turned up the volume.
"What started out as friendship has grown stronger..." the singer crooned. "I only wish I had the strength to let it show..."
Danny took a long sip of the beer he had been drinking. He didn't want to think about Steve in relation to a love ballad, but the lyrics were kind of spot-on to how he felt right now. Suspiciously so. Though, he supposed he could blame Steve for wanting to listen to the radio on Valentine's Day.
This year, almost everyone they knew had a significant other or date for Valentine's Day. There was Kono and Adam, Lou and Renée, and Chin and Abby for the couples. Jerry had a date with some girl he met online, and Eric was going out with Noelani, the new medical examiner. Pretty much everyone was with someone, except for Steve and Danny, who were actually single at the same time. Fortuitously single at the same time, a voice in his head which sounded a lot like Kono said. Danny disregarded that voice, which was clearly the manifestation of his gradually developing insanity. Steve and him were hanging out as friends for the evening since otherwise they would be bored and lonely with all of the romance going on today.
Danny gazed away from the sunset towards his partner, who was lightly singing the cheesy love song. He noticed Danny staring at him and smiled fondly at him. Danny looked away towards the horizon, ignoring the goosebumps developing on his arm that had nothing to do with the balmy temperature. Despite himself, Danny started to tap his foot as he listened to the song. This was definitely an improvement on "Sexy Eyes."
"You know, this song is actually kind of catchy."
Steve chuckled. "Really?"
"It's better than that 'Sexy Eyes' one you wanted to listen to in the car one time."
"One more lonely night for me," Steve taunted in a sing-song voice. "I look up, what do I see..."
Danny fell into a fit of laughter. "Please, babe, make it stop!"
Steve shook his head. "One day, I will get you to admit that Dr. Hook is not that bad." He paused to take a sip of his beer.
"I'm telling you, that's never gonna happen."
The song changed, and Danny grinned as he recognized the opening to "Livin' on a Prayer." "Okay, now pay attention, my friend, since your musical education is clearly lacking." He turned up the volume a little on Steve's boombox. "This is what good 80s music sounds like."
Steve laughed. "Bon Jovi? You are so predictable."
"Shh." Danny wanted to hear the song.
When the lyrics came on, Danny enthusiastically sang every word. Steve joined in during the chorus, to Danny's pleasant surprise.
The announcer said that they would be taking a break from "80s love song night," and Danny relaxed back against his chair.
After a couple of commercials, Steve spoke. "I can't believe this music is considered 'oldies.'"
Danny sighed. "It makes you feel ancient, doesn't it?"
Steve nodded, looking thoughtful and melancholy. "Are we really getting that old, Danny?"
Danny smiled sadly. "I think so." Today just reminded him how much. He was more than 40 years old and still had nobody to share his life with. That thing with Melissa wasn't built to last. She was so much younger than him, and he couldn't even tell her that he loved her. He didn't know how to say it to anyone but Steve, which was kind of a problem considering that Steve was just supposed to be his friend. Of course, the ship had sailed on Danny thinking of Steve that way a long time ago.
