Jueves: Fortune Cookie Messages

[schweinsty.livejournal.com]

We're almost at the end of the week, everyone! I’m still schweinsty and today's theme is Fortune Cookie Messages! There's a fortune cookie message generator here or archives of messages here or over here, for your convenience.

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...
+Firefly, Simon Tam + River Tam, There is no greater pleasure than seeing your loved ones prosper
+The Musketeers, Treville/Cardinal Richelieu, Your worst enemy has a crush on you!
+Star Wars (OT), Leia Organa, Being happy is not always being perfect

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.

Hawaii Five-O, Steve/Danny Let Your Heart

[jdl71.livejournal.com]

Chinese food. The order had been delivered to their office. Steve and Danny sat across from each other, separated by Steve's desk and the food cartons. Steve looked down at the fortune cookie in front of him. Cracking it open, he picked up the tiny slip of paper.

Let your heart make your decisions - it does not get as confused as your head.

Steve scoffed at the message and tossed it onto the table.

Danny looked at him. "What, didn't like your fortune?" Picking it up, Danny read it. "Well, maybe you should take the advice." He said with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah, maybe." Steve rubbed the back of his head and leaned back in his chair. He looked at the man sitting across from him in his office. The man he had feelings for. And not the brotherly or friendship type. He felt more and wanted more. But, Danny was hard to read at times. He was an open book when it came to his kids or his job. But, his personal feelings, that was another matter.

Steve figured he was the same. Maybe that's why his past relationships had failed. He'd never just led with his heart. But, then again, he'd never been in love with the women he'd dated. Yes, he had feelings for them, maybe even venturing on love, but there was never that deep seeded need to be with them all the time. Sighing, he picked up the paper again and read it.

Maybe?

Maybe it was time to face the situation he'd created for himself. What was the worst that could happen? Scenarios started playing in his head. He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to reign in his thoughts. He felt his breathing starting to quicken.

"Steve, are you ok?" He looked at Danny, seeing concern in his eyes.

He nodded, getting his breathing under control. "Uh, Danny, could you close the door? I need to talk to you."

"Yeah, sure. Something wrong?" Danny looked at him, concern washing over his features. But he got up and closed the door and returned to his seat.

"Well, that depends on how what I'm about to say is taken." He felt the dread in his stomach growing. But he'd come this far. He saw Danny fidgeting in his chair. He gave him a smile, trying to break the tension that had filled the room and moved to the chair next to Danny.

"This isn't easy for me. You may not feel the same way and that's ok. If I don't say it, I'm going to drive myself crazy." He stopped, needing to catch his breath.

"Spit it out already." Danny tried to give him a halfhearted laugh.

"I have feelings for you, other than friendship." Steve looked away, not daring to look at Danny. Afraid to see the anger or horror in his eyes. He felt Danny's hand on his and looked down.

"So, were do we go from here?" Danny asked, barely a whisper. Steve looked up seeing a smile on Danny's lips and his cheeks pink from the blush spreading across his features.

Steve shrugged. It wasn't the reaction he'd been expecting. "I'm not sure."

Nodding, Danny stood up. "Why don't we grab a beer after work and talk? See where that leads us?" He smiled, opened the door and walked away.

Steve watched him walk away, the dread he felt earlier being replaced with hope. So, maybe was a possibility.

FILL: SPN< Demon dean, the future is dark

[cozy-coffee.livejournal.com]

People don’t come to her for the truth. They come for good news. All of the souls—the singles hoping to find their soul mate, the curvy girls wondering if they will ever be Barbie thin, the nine-to-five Joes crossing their fingers that they get that big promotion at work; all of them wish to leave her shop with the sun shining down on them. Annabelle takes no joy in telling people that life sucks and then you die. Therefore, she bites her tongue and foretells of love and future and better days to come.

Then he came to her. The pretty boy with the panty dropping grin who smelled like whiskey and leather and rode a black steel beauty. She sees his future, and holds the truth from him again, not out of fear of dampening his spirt, but because the horror of what he will become terrified her. The truth is, she saw the darkness that will be carved into his soul at the hands of a wicked man. She sees past his time in the fire when he screams for help while he is bound in chains of blood. Months down the road, his eyes will be as black as night and his heart as cold as ice.

She sees it all…There’s a tiny smear of red blood against his pink lip as the corners of his mouth turn up in a twisted smile. He came back from Hell wrong, broken, his voice rougher, animalistic as he emits a low growl like a wild beast. Old scars still etch his body from his time as a skilled hunter, yet now that span Dean’s entire back, as if overtaking him like jagged vines that in the pale moon light seem to slither over him like snakes. His whole body is ripe with the stinking rot of damnation as he kills his intended victim—a poor girl out for a walk on this late night.

His blade slides into her, she screams as he smiles. Gasping for her breath, shocked silent, she reaches up to caress his face, bloody fingertips stroking over his prickly chin, almost like the tender touch of a lover. He leans into her caress, it has been a very, very long time since he has felt the soft embrace of a woman. Her chest huffs roughly as she struggles for her last breaths, rising up and sinking back down, shaking her ribcage.

Faster and faster she gasps, before her chest stills as her heart silences. Her eyes dim, losing their sparkle, her body slowly going slack and dropping to the ground as his jewl green eyes slide black.

He will kill for the pleasure of it, his humanity burnt away. Annabelle is rendered speechless; never has she seen such pure evil. Her lips trembling as she lies about his future of sunny days to come. Something haunts his eyes, like he knows she is lying, but he says nothing and departs, leaving her near tears as she fights to hold in a scream on a cold, dark night.

♥ END ♥

Fill (Star Trek TOS)

[lah-mrh.livejournal.com]

"So what is it?" Kirk asks, staring through the transparent sides of the cage. He knows what it looks like, but this seems like an excellent time for a second opinion.

Spock makes some adjustments on his tricorder, frowning minutely. "It appears to be an ordinary cat."

"No such thing," Kirk replies. At Spock's raised eyebrow, he adds, "Quite apart from the fact that nothing should have survived down there, all the cats we've ever encountered turned out to be mental projections, or secretly people, or grew ten sizes and tried to eat us. I find it hard to believe that this is just an ordinary cat." He gestures in the direction of their captive, who is calmly washing its paws.

"I do not know what to tell you, Captain," Spock says. "The readings are quite clear. Earth feline, female, approximately six-point-four years of age."

Kirk glares at the cat, which stops washing its - her - paws long enough to give him an unimpressed look. "Run the tests again," he orders. "I'll be on the bridge."

When, halfway into Beta shift, the 'cat' suddenly turns into a giant, razor-clawed beast and destroys half of the science lab, Kirk doesn't say 'I told you so'. But he thinks it.

Magnus looked around the restaurant. This was the first time he'd been to the Jade Wolf. It really wasn't the type of place he'd have picked for a date, but Alec had assured him it would be fine. Despite the place looking like it was a possible dive or even a front for illegal activity, the food was very good.

They sat talking about nothing in general, just enjoying each other's company. Once or twice they found themselves clasping each other's hands. They'd blush and slowly pull away.

With the food ordered, they lapsed into a comfortable quiet until another topic of conversation popped up. Once their food appeared they found themselves sharing from their own plates. Magnus reached over with a dumpling on his fork, urging Alec to try it. Laughing, Alec leaned in, allowing Magnus to feed him. Alec returned the favor with some noodles. Alec licked his lips watching Magnus slurping the noodles through pursed lips. Finding the action just shy of erotic. Looking at him, Magnus blushed. Alec's blue eyes were blown wide with lust.

It was no secret they were seeing each other. Some would call it dating. Neither had ventured to put a label on what they were. They were just happy being together. But, actually leaving the institute or the apartment brought this to another level. A relationship. Out in public.

When asked, they'd answer that yes, they were seeing someone. Yes, they were seeing a man. So, yes, they each called the other his boyfriend. While neither voiced it out loud, each actually like the sound of it. Boyfriend. My boyfriend. And now lovers. Both content with each other and the way they felt.

With the food consumed and the plates cleared they sat trying to decide where their next public date should be.

"How about going to the movies?" Alec's eyes sparkled. "We could make out in the dark." A wicked grin appearing on his face.

Magnus faked indignation. "We could go to a club. Dancing or more like me moving against your body." He chuckled at the thought of having Alec pressed against him on a dance floor. The things he'd do to Alec once they were back at his home after the club. Then again, why wait? There was always a thrill at the risk of being discovered in the bathroom together in said club.

Their discussion was stopped as the waitress brought their check and fortune cookies.

Alec grabbed one and cracked it open revealing his fortune.

"You will be successful in life." His fortune read. He laughed at that and moved the other cookie towards Magnus.

"This is silly you know." Magnus huffed out. But he gave in and opened the cookie.

"You will marry your lover." He took in a deep breath before looking at Alec. He saw the man smiling at him. "I like this fortune." Magnus said as he took out his wallet to pay. Placing the cash on the table they got up to leave. Magnus stopped, turned back and quickly grabbed his fortune, sticking it in his wallet as he followed Alec out into the bright sunlight.
