Friday: Role Reversals

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m dreamsofspike and today's theme is role reversals. Prompts can be anything in which the typical roles of two characters in canon are switched or reversed. For example, perhaps in canon one is the teacher and the other is the student, or one is the boss and the other is the employee, or one has magical powers and the other is just plain human... use your imagination and switch it up! :)

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...
+ Supernatural, Sam Winchester/Ruby - she's the hunter's child with a dark destiny, and he's the demon trying to seduce her
+ Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy Summers/Spike - he's the Slayer, she's the vampire desperately in love with him
+ iZombie, Ravi/Blaine - Ravi's the zombie, Blaine works in the morgue

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.

Supernatural, Gen. Benny the Southern hunter lost in purgatory, Dean the cocky, dangerous vampire.

"You want to ride me out of Purgatory?" Benny asks the vampire in disbelief. "You got some balls, kid."

Vampires killed him, after all. While turning him, in fact, so he was just twisted enough to end up here instead of Heaven or Hell--not sure which he was going to, actually.

"I can lead you to the door out," the vampire says. Benny has no idea how old he is, but him showing up was enough to scare away the scavengers on Benny's trail, and his presence has kept the more dangerous monsters hanging back.

Which is worrisome. Benny got his fool self killed by underestimating a vampire that looked and acted young but was actually centuries old, and this vampire feels... like more, somehow.

The vampire smiles, slow and dangerous. "On your own, little hunter," he says, "you won't make it much longer. I can keep you safe all the way to the door you can't find without me, and all I ask is that you carry me out when you go." He spreads his hands, shrugs like a college student.

"Why do you want out?" Benny asks. He already knows he's going to agree because Andrea is waiting for him, and little Lizzie who must be almost 5, now.

The vampire shrugs again. "Got family, don't I?" he says. "Dumbass little brother who'll get himself killed trying to avenge me."

"But then you'll both be here," Benny points out.

The vampire gazes at him, face wiped clean of everything except predator. "Sammy's not ever coming here," he hisses.

"Okay, okay," Benny says placatingly. "You lead me to the door, I'll bring you with me."

"Okay then," the vampire says, smiling sunnily. "I'm Dean."

SPN, Sam/Cas Reversal

[jdl71.livejournal.com]

Cas found himself alone at the cemetary searching for the grave he needed to find in the middle of the night. The flashlight cut through the darkness. His car was only a few feet away, trunk open waiting for him to retrieve his tools. Once he found the grave, he'd need to work fast. It would be a bitch trying to dig up the grave by himself, but it had to be done. The vengeful ghost had been wreaking havoc and had caused at least three deaths. His eyes came to rest on the burial plot of Nicholas Tremen. He had been twenty-five when he died from a prank gone wrong. Now, he was trying to make those involved pay for his death and he was doing a great job.

That's why Cas was here. He needed to salt and burn the bones in order to put a stop to this. He dropped the flashlight next to the headstone and ran back to his car. He grabbed the items he needed, shovel, salt, gasoline, crowbar and made sure the book of matches was still in his pocket before returning to the grave. He dropped his gear, grabbing the shovel he began the laborious task of digging. Two hours later, he was wiping sweat from his brow and gasping for breath.

"Cas, you called?" The voice from the darkness caused him to jump, dropping the shovel.

"Jesus, Sam. I hate when you do that. Got your Angel ears on again?" Cas smiled, bending down to get the dropped shovel.

"I always have my Angel ears on. This vessal is like yours. You called, I came. Simple, really." He cocked his head at Cas, not understanding the joke.

Cas just chuckled. "Don't suppose you want to help make this go faster? Maybe pick up the extra shovel and dig."

Sam looked at him, blank expression on his face. "Cas, I'm an Angel of the Lord. I can't interfere with this."

Cas turned from him, muttering. "Of course not. But, just once it'd be nice to have a little help." He continued digging for until he heard the metal blade of the shovel hit against the wood of the coffin. He let out a small triumphant cry, knowing the job was nearly done. He tossed the shovel out of the grave and reached for the crowbar. He began to pry the lid off. The smell of decay hit him, causing his gag reflex to kick in. It took a minute for him to recover and begin breathing through is mouth. Once the lid was off, he climbed out to get the needed items.

He looked around, the angel was no where to be found. He always found it unnerving how Sam would show up or disappear without warning. He could pass for a twenty-something computer geek. Tall and lanky, shaggy hair which always looked to be in need of a trim. He always appeared dressed in a t-shirt, jeans and high tops. Sam had explained upon first meeting that this was just his vessel's body.

Cas rubbed his hands on his own jeans and pulled his t-shirt away from his sweat soaked body. Wiping at the sweat trickling into his blue eyes. Picking up the container of salt he poured the contents over the body followed by the gasoline. A howl rang out from the darkness. Cas looked up to see the ghost of Tremen standing in front of him. He felt a force slam into him. The ghost reached out, with a flick of his wrist, he sent Cas flying through the air. His body crashed against a marble headstone, knocking the wind from his lungs. He fought to stay awake and tried to get to his feet. The pain in his ribs causing him to yell out. He managed to fight against the pain and get to his feet. He swayed as he reached into his pocket for the matches. The ghost appeared again. This time, Cas was ready. With his other hand, he grabbed a handful of iron dust from his back pocket and blew it, causing the ghost to disapate. He used that moment to light the matches and toss them into the grave. He heard the shrieking as the bones burned.

"Sam, I could really use some Angelic help right about now." Cas slumped against the nearest headstone, holding his chest, trying to fight from blacking out. He felt the presence of the Angel standing before him. Sam placed two fingers on his forehead as a white light engulfed them. Moments later he was able to breath without pain, having been healed by Sam.

"So, that you can interfere with?" Cas laughed at the irony.

"I do the Lord's work, Cas." With that, he was gone, leaving Cas to clean up the mess before him.
