comment_ficHello, everyone! I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reeby10 and I hope you enjoyed this week's themes! Today's theme is history. Prompts can be anything related to history, like a historical event, a character’s history, historical AU, etc.
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 Following, Joe Carroll/Ryan Hardy, Jack the Ripper AU
+ NCIS: New Orleans, Chris LaSalle/Dwayne Pride, they hook up at a party during Mardi Gras 2003 but Chris is so drunk he doesn't remember much when they meet again later
+ any, any f (+/ any), The 1913 Women's Suffrage Parade
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: 2017-06-24 03:20 am (UTC)“History is much easier to study in a book,” Nate replied as he continued dusting himself off.
“Ain’t history to them,” Mick responded. “And we ain’t studying them.”
Nate opened his mouth as if he was going to ask a question, but Leonard glared at him. “And if we change history, we aren’t doing our jobs.”
Sara’s voice came over the PA system, “Gideon said everyone is aboard, if a bit dirty, and that history is settling down. So we’re gonna get off the ground here.”
The three men headed towards the bridge as the Waverider lifted off the ground. “Ya know,” Nate commented as they walked, “history never looks like history when you are living through it.”
“I’ve found it’s significantly more interesting,” Leonard commented as they reached the bridge. He crossed to where Sara was swinging the pilot’s seat around to face them and pressed a quick kiss to her lips before moving over to the jumpseats and sitting down.
“Lot more fun anyway,” Mick agreed.
“But don’t you get tired of finding out all the ways history was wrong?” Nate persisted.
“Nope,” the two thieves replied in unison.
“And on that note,” Sara said, spinning back around, “Gideon, jump us.”
“Of course, Captain Lance.”

Date: 2017-06-23 10:44 pm (UTC)Bonus for immortallity/longevity of character A
Highlander, Methos + Amanda
Date: 2017-06-25 09:59 pm (UTC)“Did you find something interesting?” The coy voice of fellow Immortal, Amanda Darieux, came from behind him and Methos looked over his shoulder. “What do you have?”
“A copy of The Odyssey.” Methos held it out for her inspection. “In the original Greek.”
Amanda made a moue of displeasure. “Well, that’s disappointing.” She draped herself against him, ignoring the sniff of disapproval from the women standing not too far from them. “I can’t read Greek.”
“I can.” He took the book back, flipping through the pages, and frowning as he got to a passage. “And that’s not what happened!” Methos’s voice rose in outrage, drawing the attention of the few patrons in the shop. He lowered his voice when he saw the others staring before continuing, “If I was returning to that woman, I’d take longer than Odysseus to return home. Patient and loyal wife? Maybe in the Underworld.” He considered the book again, before shoving it back on the shelf, perhaps a bit harder than necessary. “Telemachus was just lucky he had friends around to remind him who his father was or Odysseus wouldn’t have survived his homecoming.”
Amanda linked her arm in his. “You’ll have to tell me about the true story. And maybe some more of your other stories. If I’d known you had so much history yourself, I would have picked your brain before now.”
Methos just favored her with a look. “Amanda, I’m older than you. That means I’ve stayed alive and not become stupid or complacent over the years. I stay alive because I don’t give up all my secrets.”
She smirked at him. “Well, maybe I can convince you to divulge a few.”
“You can try.”

Re: Highlander, Methos + Amanda
Date: 2017-07-13 01:52 am (UTC)(I feel like I've done that before... filled it with a fandom you didn't know.)
Re: Highlander, Methos + Amanda
Date: 2017-07-13 08:37 am (UTC)(There are many fandoms I know nothing about - I'm always happy to see something new, and I've got into fandoms from people filling my prompts with new-to-me fandoms :D it's why I prompt so many any/author's choice prompts!)
Re: Highlander, Methos + Amanda
Date: 2017-07-15 05:06 am (UTC)Ooooh awesome. Well, I'm glad I could help! I have a lot of fandoms and I kinda troll these for ones I don't necessarily write it or want to write in, but just want to dip my toe into. (I've got a Push one I need to finish... just got sidetracked with the end of vacation and moving and my kitty passing away and accidentally starting a new job.)

Date: 2017-09-21 12:34 am (UTC)The next time, the terror had faded, since it was years later. Cassie and Nick were browsing a bookstore, looking for something to read on the place when Cassie started giggling. Nick moved to investigate, peering over her shoulder to discover what had drawn her attention. She tilted the book, showing him the small series of paragraphs.
“That makes it sound like we had such a great plan,” Nick commented when he finished reading.
“And that we weren’t terrified the entire time,” Cassie agreed.
“Hey, at least you could see the future!”

Date: 2017-09-21 12:52 am (UTC)“I’ve been getting letters since they declassified the project,” Daniel explained. He nudged the letter with the pen in his hand. “And I’ve been enjoying all the crow they’ve had to eat over calling me crazy all those years ago.” He tapped the letter. “That’s from one of my loudest naysayers.”
Mitchell grinned. “Enjoying getting a little of your own back, Doctor Jackson?”
“All these years, I haven’t felt the need to say, ‘I know something you don’t…’ Daniel paused, “and now that I can…”
“You want to yell it as loud as you can?”
“I really thought I was above that.”
“Daniel, if anyone has the right to crow, it’s you. Now open up that letter and see what the old blowhard says.”
Daniel picked up what Mitchell was sure was a ceremonial dagger, slitting the envelope open. He skimmed the letter, bursting out laughing halfway through. “Well, he hasn’t changed. He insists the entire thing is a conspiracy to make me look good.” Lowering the letter, Daniel met Mitchell’s gaze, mirth still dancing in his eyes. “That just makes it better.”
Mitchell clapped him on the shoulder. “I’m sure you can write a scathing reply. Enjoy your kudos.” He left the office with Daniel furiously scribbling his reply and talking to himself. Academics.
