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, PromptSome examples to get the ball rolling...
+ The Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon/Paul "Jesus" Rovia, Well there's not a lot for you to give
If you're giving in
And there's not a lot for you to feel
If you're not feeling it
+ Scream(TV), Audrey Jensen/Emma Duval, If you're gonna get up you might as well get up with me
If you're going downtown I might as well be on your way
Not like I faint every time we touch
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.

Laugh just a little too loud,
Stand just a little too close,
We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.

D.Gray-man, Lavi, this kinda got away from me
Date: 2017-03-21 05:01 am (UTC)Often times it's an Akuma, a direct attack from evil, from the devil himself, out searching for sorrow and itching for pain, reeking of death. And as often as the lot of them are together - four exorcist always staring over the edge of something invisible and unsteady, swaying and waiting for the house of cards they each live in to collapse; weighed down by eachother's burdens, the world's on top of that, never mind their own - well, he imagines they make a promising sight for a death starved creature.
Though often times it is the direct attacks that have him repeating prayers beneath his breath in a language long dead and forgotten, the remnants of his mother tongue imprinted into the peices of himself he refuses to let time touch, refuses to allow anyone to see - not even Bookman is exempt. Every secret has exclusions - and sending mental apologies to Bookman each time he prepares his hammer for another blow, the indirect take up many occasions as well.
Sometimes it's fire, leftover from an attack - their's or the enemies, no one is ever complet sure. Friendly fire occurs too often in war. Lavi knows. It is something he has recorded hundreds of times in hundreds of different battles. Men dying by their friend's misplaced hand, misguided shots, and canons positioned the wrong way. In the end, the blood of each side looks the same: dark, staining red - and sometimes times it's other things. It's collapsed buildings and suffocation, head wounds that don't stop bleeding after you are slammed into a wall too hard by the after effects of an attack. Sometimes it's drowning, others falling: being crushed, shot at too many times to count and choking on your own blood as the bullets sink into your flesh (it feels even worse, somehow, when you aren't the target).
A Bookman's purpose, he knows, is to record the history not all of mankind will get to see, through an impartial viewpoint: though often skewed towards the Order. No attachments is rule number one, always have an alias is rule two. And he lives up to the rules partially at least. He thinks like a Bookman, keeps the name Lavi - thinks, 49th everytime he hears Lenalee or Kanda say it, thinks, not mine, never really mine each time Allen's laugh holds his name - but he breaks it partially as well. He thinks as a Bookman, records as one too, but he fights as an exorcist: as an ally to people whose deaths he will one day have to record with an impartial view and somber expression.
He fights as an exorcist - bleeds along side them, burns and drowns and breathes - with a familiarity he should be ashamed of.
(There's a part of him, one he does not acknowledge often and yet it still lurks, that thinks it will be nice to have people to miss him when he is dead.)
Lavi has faced death more times than he can count - battlefields bleed into ruined villages and villages bleed into empty eyed exorcist battling a hopeless battle against creatures with twisted souls - each time closer than the last, a mere breath away, and yet.
And yet it is Kanda who saves him from being crushed, helps him to flee from the horrors of suffocation, as he cuts down the beast depriving him of air.
It's is Lenalee who saves them all from rampid fires, a slight rotation of her ankle stealing all of the oxygen from the flames, releasing them all safely from harm.
It is Allen who throws himself in the path of bullets that poison and rot, and smiles humbly at Lavi behind him, silent and mouthing are you alright? as his skin speckles with stars and the same poison that has killed thousands of men before him, courses through his veins.
He laughs.
