comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tigriswolf and today's theme is happy thoughts. Whether they be the things that lift you into the air or helps you get through a hard time, prompts today need to be about hope, good thoughts, so on and so forth.
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
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: 2017-03-04 07:53 pm (UTC)Linus leaned in the doorway, hands in his pockets, and watched his son sleep. It was funny how some patterns repeated themselves.
He remembered his old blue blanket, which he’d dragged everywhere until it was in tatters. His parents had always done their own thing, and so that blanket had become his safety buffer against a big, scary world. It had been, at times, a cape, a hat, a whip, and the prize in tug-of-war games with Charlie’s dog. Mostly it had been his shield.
It made him angry, sometimes, that his parents were still so self-involved and had so little time for their children and grandchildren.
Linus knew it would be different for Lucas. The blanket would be a companion, but his parents would be there with hugs and kisses and promises to keep him safe from anything that would hurt him. Linus wanted to be part of the lives of his children, considered it a privilege that he’d never take for granted.
After one last look at Lucas, Linus went back to his own room. Bonnie was in the shower, her usual bedtime routine, so he went into the closet and pulled the old metal lunchbox down from the high shelf, the one with Captain America’s smiling face on it. Inside were various trinkets, things he’d collected over the years: bottle tops, seashells, interesting coins, Star Wars action figures, ticket stubs.
Curled in one corner was a narrow strip of blue fabric, all that remained of his blanket. He pulled it out and wrapped it around his finger and smiled. He was a grown-up now, a husband and father, but somewhere deep inside he knew he’d always be that little boy who couldn’t face the world without his trusty blanket.
The shower cut off and Linus carefully repacked the box. Bonnie was much nicer to curl up with at night than any blanket could ever be, but it was sure nice knowing it was there. Just in case.
