comment_ficHello, everyone. I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
prisca1960 and maybe some of you will still remember me. This week I'm your guest host. I hope we will have some fun together. Today's theme is proverbs and quotes. Prompts should be a proverb or a quote. Fills can be anything that comes to your mind when you read the prompt. Just let your phantasy run wild and have fun.
Here are 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:
+++ any fandom - any character - The heart that loves is always young
+++ The Walking Dead - Maggie Greene, Glenn Rhee - Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again, skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts
+++ Hawaii Five O - Steve McGarrett, Danny Williams - Hawaii is the island of big dreams for both, islanders and guests. Those dreams born in paradise can indeed come true

Date: 2017-08-21 12:57 pm (UTC)FILL: Sappy Post-Canon Fluff, 1/2
Date: 2017-08-22 07:57 pm (UTC)“All right, I’m going to flip the switch now,” Steve called out from the right side of the building. “Let me know if it works, okay?”
“Okay!” Danny yelled in response.
A couple of seconds later, the neon sign flickered to life, the words “Steve & Danny’s” now proclaiming the name of Danny’s new restaurant. He couldn’t help beaming at the sight.
He’d idly toyed with the idea of running a restaurant after he retired, but he never thought he’d actually see it operating successfully. But Steve had helped Danny and encouraged him through the daunting process of starting a new business, turning mere pipe dreams into plans and into eventual reality.
Danny glanced down at the ring on his left hand, still grinning like a fool. The restaurant hadn’t been the only dream of Danny’s that Steve had helped come true.
Kono’s sighed happily behind him, and Danny turned to look at her to see that she was staring up at the sign and smiling. She chuckled to herself. “I knew you were going to end up naming your restaurant after him.”
Danny shrugged. “Well, he kept insisting that I name the restaurant after him a year before I started even making real plans for it, so it’s not like I had much of a choice.”
Chin, who was standing next to Kono, shared an amused look with her before shaking his head at Danny. “You sure that was the real reason, brah?”
Danny blushed lightly. “Well, that and I figured he earned a spot on the name after helping me out so much.” Steve had been instrumental in finding the location and helping restore the old building so that it could be used as a functional restaurant again. He’d helped Danny with many of the tasks involved in setting up a restaurant, including hiring the staff and buying the tables and chairs needed for seating. And even though Danny was still the head chef, Steve had also made it clear that he was going to assist in the kitchen frequently.
That was just the things Steve had done for Danny regarding the restaurant. Ever since he had met Steve, Steve’s friendship and constant support had made this unfamiliar island a home. Steve had saved Danny’s life countless times, and Danny honestly had no idea where he would be without him. Steve, in his own uniquely pushy way, had made himself a part of Danny’s life the minute he’d commandeered his task force. There wasn’t a part of Danny’s life that Steve hadn’t touched in some way, and it was only right that this restaurant like everything else in their life together, be “Steve & Danny’s.”
Steve’s worried voice broke Danny out of his contemplation. “Hey Danny, did the sign not work or something?”
“Nah, Steve,” Kono yelled. “Your husband was just having a sappy moment. You can come out now.”
Steve emerged from the right side of the building and immediately went to stand next to Danny’s side. He pulled Danny into a hug from behind and rested his head on top of Danny’s left shoulder. “You getting sappy about me, Danno?”
Danny rolled his eyes and automatically leaned back into Steve’s touch. “I was just being reflective.”
Steve nodded along like he didn’t believe a word Danny was saying. “Of course.” He pressed a quick kiss to Danny’s cheek and then stared up at the sign. “The sign looks good,” he said.
“Yeah, it does,” Danny agreed. He laid his hands over Steve’s where they were resting on Danny’s stomach. For a moment, everyone stood in a peaceful silence.
“You guys ready for the grand opening tomorrow?” Chin asked.
“As ready as we can be,” Steve said. “I think it will go well.”
“As long as there’s not a fire or an explosion or some other kind of unforeseen disaster,” Danny pointed out. He just couldn’t be as optimistic as his husband. The prospect of all the things that could go wrong was more than a bit alarming. The concerns Danny had mentioned might seem ridiculous, but in Danny’s crazy life, he had learned you couldn’t be too careful.
Kono smirked. “Well, I don’t know about fire, but you might want to make sure Steve didn’t hide any grenades in the back room if you want to keep the explosions down.”
Danny cut a quick glance towards Steve. “You didn’t, did you?”
Re: FILL: Sappy Post-Canon Fluff, 2/2
Date: 2017-08-22 07:57 pm (UTC)Danny shook his head and laughed along with Chin and Kono. Well, at least Danny wouldn’t have to worry about the health inspector keeling over from a heart attack from finding a grenade in the restaurant. He should have probably felt more concerned that was Steve’s main reason for not stocking ammunition in the place, but he was unfortunately all too used to his husband’s bizarre relationship with grenades and firearms. As long as they weren’t in the restaurant, Danny wouldn’t question Steve’s motivations too closely.
“Did you guys want to see the place before it opens?” Danny asked Chin and Kono.
They nodded, excited smiles lighting up their faces at the prospect. “If you guys are ready to give us the grand tour,” Chin said.
Steve released his hold on Danny, and Danny walked towards the front door with the others following close behind him. As he pulled the key to the restaurant out of his pocket, Steve’s hand landed on his shoulder and Danny grinned at the affectionate gesture.
Danny turned the key in the lock and then pushed open the door so he could walk inside. He stretched out his hand along the wall until he found the main dimmer switch and then turned it all the way up so that light flooded the space. He took in everything he and Steve had worked so hard to put together, imagining diners filling up the tables in the middle of the main floor and the booths along the far wall.
“It’s beautiful Danny,” Kono said quietly, too awestruck to speak at a normal volume.
Chin nodded in agreement. “It’s amazing.”
Steve took Danny’s hand and gifted him with a goofy, loving smile. “It really is.” He leaned in closer so that only Danny could hear him. “Not as beautiful or amazing as you, though.”
Danny chuckled and squeezed Steve’s hand tighter. “I love you too, babe. Let’s show them what we did, okay?”
Steve nodded, and Danny led the group over to the bar area, passing menus to Chin and Kono and explaining what customers would be able to order for drinks, appetizers, entrées, and desserts, with Steve occasionally chiming in. Danny spoke with a constant smile on his face, and he couldn’t imagine it ever leaving his face.
This moment right here, with Danny proudly showing off his new accomplishment to Chin and Kono and with Steve beside him, was the culmination of every hope and dream Danny had ever had. It reflected the dreams Danny hadn’t even been able to imagine, because a long time ago he hadn’t been able to picture himself this content or this unbelievably lucky.
And now, with his friends and his husband by his side, Danny couldn’t imagine himself being anything but happy and proud of the life he had made.

Date: 2017-08-22 01:15 am (UTC)It had been a long, cold, frustrating day and right now crawling into his amazingly comfortable bed and snuggling up to his warm, cuddly husband was the only thing that could possibly redeem it.
Re: Fill: Strachey Mysteries - Donald/Timmy - Home Sweet Home
Date: 2017-09-04 12:47 am (UTC)I'm sure having someone cuddly waiting there for you would only make it that much better.

Date: 2017-08-21 04:21 pm (UTC)Fill, DGHDA, Amanda Brotzman & Martin
Date: 2017-08-22 03:21 am (UTC)Martin knows she doesn't sleep well. The fear of what her subconscious state will do to her fragile mind and the nightmares of remembering the hallucinations that have held her prisoner for years are always waiting for her. Amanda told them the medication helped sooth the evening terrors, but here on the run there is no way to get any; and they don't typically stock the local corner pharmacies with it either.
The other Rowdy Boys sleep soundly, except for Cross he always snores like a freight train, through her struggles of sleep. She tries to keep quiet, not tousle and twist around a lot and perhaps to the average or normal person they won't suspect anything out of the ordinary was occurring.
Martin wasn't like everyone else and unlike the other Boys who could shut off and block out the suffering he felt obligated to stay awake with her and protect her. He brought her here, he opened the van for her, he let her drive said van; in which Gripps still won't stop talking about; the least he could do was make sure the girl got some sleep if only a little.
He stands up and walks over to her. Standing above her head, she facing the opposite way, eyes closed, but no doubt completely awake. For a few moments Martin just watches her, studies her features, so young, innocent, beautiful too but she showed more than that, a stress and suffering beyond her years. All this running, fighting, that he again thrust her into was adding to that suffering.
"How long?" Amanda questions with her eyes still closed.
"Excuse me?"
"Are you going to stare at me? Its boarding on bad horror movie." She flips to her back and opens her eyes looking up at him.
"Sorry. You need to sleep."
"That's what I was doing." Amanda knows the telling of the lie is weak, I mean not everyone can Todd afterall she thinks giving a slight smirk. Martin feel the energy in her snap to fury and just as fast as it came its gone.
"Don't play me as the fool. You haven't slept more than two hours a night and not even a consistent two hours since you have been here. Its not healthy for you. And becoming dangerous for all of us." She had already made some questionable decisions, arguments over stupid shit had occurred. Martin knew it would get worse and with Blackwing up their asses he needed everyone sharp at all times.
"Do you want me to leave?" There is genuine fear in her words. She after years of being held prisoner by these hallucinations having lost every fabric that made her who she was at last she felt accepted and human again with them. Even with the dangers that came with it. The Rowdy Boys gave her purpose.
"No, drummer girl I don't."
"Ok." Amanda smiles and the energy she fires off without knowledge she is shakes him and he holds in a gasp. He felt it from her before only when its them alone. He suspects what it is but right now wasn't the place to explore let alone think about.
"But I do need you to sleep." Martin lowers himself to his knees and without passing another word places both hands on her temples, leans down and sucks the emotional energy from her. He watches her eyes go from fear to peace in seconds. A draining like that weakness the body, mind, and spirit that it has no choice but to sleep. Amanda tries to give a smile before the sleep arrives only to fail. He stands back up, dizzy and woozy for a moment. That was a lot of energy for just one person to take.
"You're a good friend to do that. But you should have asked for help." Martin jerks around to find Vogle standing a few feet away.
"No. She's my responsibility not yours. Go back to sleep." He doesn't ask or give a tone to have the other person consider saying anything else. Vogle shrugs and goes back to his sleeping bag and area. Martin looks again at his drummer girl, watches her body breathe peacefully and deep and wonders if he'll be able to help her every night. On his own. The others would glady help but as he told Vogle this was his and his alone to handle. He suspects Amanda will agree.

Date: 2017-08-22 02:37 am (UTC)SPN, Castiel/Dean To Forgive
Date: 2017-08-23 12:35 am (UTC)His cell rang, again. He really wanted to throw it to the ground and stomp on it. Seeing it in little pieces would put a smile on his face. The phone rang again. A text from Sam this time. Why couldn't he take a friggin hint? He didn't want to talk. Not now. Not to him. He put the phone on vibrate and tossed it on the backseat of the Impala. He slammed the door, harder then he meant to. He winced at the sound and rubbed the roof of the car. "Sorry, baby. You didn't deserve that. I'm not mad at you."
He'd called for Castiel nearly an hour ago. This waiting was really adding to his foul mood. Really pissing him off, waiting for the Angel to deem him worthy of his time. He heard the sound of fluttering wings and felt the movement of the air around him. "Dean, you called for me?" Dean spun around to face Cas. "About damn time, don't you think?" Cas looked back at him, blue eyes showing his confusion. "What does time have to do with this? Is it relevant to why you called?"
Dean shook his head. Sometimes dealing with Cas was like dealing with an adult child. He let out a sigh and crossed his arms over his chest. "Dean, you appear to be angry. How can I help?" Cas asked, cocking his head to one side, waiting for Dean to answer. "Where's Sam?"
"That's why I'm angry. Why I called you." Dean said irritation coloring his words. Cas took a step forward. "Did you misplace Sam?"
Dean looked up, surprised. "What? No. I know where he is. I left him there." He shifted on his feet. "We had a fight."
"About what?" Cas asked in a quiet voice. He wondered how many times in their lives Sam and Dean had fought. But, they always found away to forgive each other.
"It was about going after Crowley. Sam wants to take him out. I think it's too soon. I think we're going to need him, his help in the future. Against Lucifer. I told him to stand down."
"You had a difference of opinion." It was a statement, not a question from Cas.
"No, a difference of opinion means we'd talk about it. He actual made an attempt to take Crowley out." Dean leaned against the car. Letting his body relax as he spoke to Cas.
"Dean. You didn't like him going against what you wanted. But, you need to get over it. Sam was doing what he felt was right."
Dean pushed himself off the car and turned to glare at Cas. He was about to say something, but Cas held up a hand, stopping him. "To err is human, to forgive is divine."
Dean hung his head against his chest and groaned. He had a feeling he'd just lost this battle.
