Wednesday: 314 words
Oct. 4th, 2017 05:49 amHello, everyone. I’m
swirlsofblue and today's theme is 314 words. Prompts can be anything but fills must be 314 words long.
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...
+ MCU, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, first meeting
+ BBC Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes + Mycroft Holmes, Eurus' insight into their relationship
+ Xmen, Charles Xavier, Going to the dark side

Date: 2017-10-04 06:06 pm (UTC)This isn’t fair. To either one of them. The familiarity of features, gestures, soft susurrations sighed into the bend of his neck, are all a kind of feast for him to gorge upon. Instead of supping at the vein, he closes his eyes and uses long-fingered hands to feed on a fleeting memory of curves and softness now recognizable in hard angles and sculpted muscle.
He leans in closer and finds Jason’s mouth, his lips, in the dark deepness of the night, and delves with tongue and teeth and saliva. He wants to taste him, swallow him down, fill himself with her sibling, her blood.
The recognizable DNA. It’s always in the blood, he knows this. For a fleeting moment he considers devouring this man, sinking his fangs into the flutter of his carotid, sucking and sucking and sucking him dry. Filling his body with the blood of her blood. It is thicker than water, he thinks. Water and wine, both. He wants the taste of Stackhouse on his tongue, he wants to be awash in their particular fluid.
Eyes still closed, panting mouth, he presses this other body deeper and deeper into the mattress, as though he could push them both through the floor and into the earth. To find refuge in the forever night of the dirt. He remembers darker days and can imagine opening this man and hiding inside the quivering viscera. He knows he can’t do this, not to him, not to her.
It’s all too much and he squeezes his eyes shut and gives over to the maleness, the differences instead of the similarities. Just fuck me, he urges him outloud. Fuck me back into oblivion, he begs. Make me forget.

Date: 2017-10-04 05:52 pm (UTC)She thinks about his fame and fortune and knows there’s not much she can offer someone who already has such an amazing life.
She sees the hordes of girls, with their crop tops and short skirts, and wonders if he thinks about how pretty and eager they are.
She hears the radio and television interviews, constantly reminded of how charming and effortlessly likable he is, and worries if he ever finds her boring.
She knows how talented he is, and that it’s almost guaranteed that his momentum will only grow, propelling him to greater success at the top of the charts and in the hearts of even more millions, and she is afraid she will be left behind.
She gets lonely when he’s on tour, spending her nights in front of her computer, waiting for YouTube videos to be posted of his concerts. She’s always so proud of him, but she can’t stave off the feeling of being far too far away. She trusts him, she always trusts him, but maybe, sometimes, she feels a little jealous of how every desire imaginable is constantly at his fingertips.
She’s heard it from family and friends a million times; that he wouldn’t be with her if he didn’t want to, that he chose her for all the things that are lovely and special and right about her, that they can tell by the way he looks at her, speaks of her, that she is everything to him.
But, sometimes, she can’t help it.
Zayn notices Harry’s look of concern as he reaches across the table and takes her hand. She’d been zoning out, musing on her own insecurities, and she must have a troubled frown on her face and a touch of moisture in her eyes.
“Everything all right?”
“Sure,” she squeezes his hand and smiles her brightest smile. “Everything’s fine.”

Date: 2017-10-04 08:48 am (UTC)Shadowhunters, Alec/Magnus, A Much Needed Break
Date: 2017-10-04 09:59 pm (UTC)“What does it look like I’m doing?” Magnus replied, unbuttoning the front of Alec’s shirt. The thought crossed his mind to tell Magnus that he really needed to get this paperwork done, but he found himself much more fascinated by Magnus’ hands, plus he had been thinking about taking a few minute break before Magnus had come in.
As though reading his mind, Magnus pressed a kiss to Alec’s lips and said. “You need a break, darling,” He said, now working on getting Alec’s belt undone. “I got a text from your dear sister saying you’ve been in here all day.” Magnus’ hand slipped into Alec’s pants and the shadowhunter moaned, very glad that the door was closed. “So I thought I would give you something else to focus on for awhile.”
“Is that so?” Alec said, finding it hard to keep a straight face with Magnus pulling his cock out and stroking it. He bucked into the touch and kissed the warlock. Magnus returned the kiss, his hand moving slowly. “This isn’t the place for this,” He mumbled, but couldn’t find it in him to actually make Magnus stop. “At least let me soundproof-”
“Already done,” Magnus replied as he slipped off the shadowhunter’s lap. “And the door is locked as well, so no one is going to walk in on us either.”
“Tha-Ah!” Alec gasped as Magnus wrapped his lips around the head of his cock. He ran his fingers through Magnus’ hair and fisted it, trying his hardest not to move his hips. He looked down and watched as his cock slipped in and out of Magnus’ mouth. The warlock watched him, his glamour fallen to reveal his golden cat eyes.
Alec smiled down at him, glad his boyfriend had come.

Date: 2017-10-04 04:16 pm (UTC)Fill: Gotham, Harvey Bullock/Jim Gordon, Hit Me
Date: 2017-10-08 05:15 pm (UTC)Jim would want more, deserved more, and when he returned from Miami loose limbed and shame faced, Harvey understood that the end was just around the corner.
He clung on until the last moment, all the same, pretended that he couldn’t see, that he didn’t know, and then Sofia Falcone walked through the doors of the precinct and crushed the last of his misguided hopes under her heel.
“You get all the luck,” he croaked out later, clapping Jim on the back in congratulations, and tried to cut off Jim’s apology before it could even get started.
Jim hadn’t made him any promises.
It wasn’t as though Harvey had ever expected that what they had would be exclusive, no matter how long it lasted. He had been given longer than he had imagined he would, at least, and that would have to be enough.
He wasn’t going to stand between Jim and his chance at being happy.
"I’m sorry,” Jim said anyway, big blue eyes so earnest it hurt like a knife to the heart, “yell at me, hit me. Anything.”
“I’m not angry,” Harvey managed, because he wasn’t. Not with Jim, at any rate. It was his own folly that had got them into this mess. His own inability to stay away from what he wanted. “You and me, we both knew it was nothing serious.”
Jim didn’t have a response for that, and Harvey told himself it was better that way. He didn't have the words to tell Jim how much it had meant, what little they had shared, and Jim didn't need to hear it.
He settled for downing the rest of his drink and giving Jim a sad smile.
"Nothing lasts forever.”

Date: 2018-08-09 07:25 pm (UTC)“Hmm,” Elijah says. There was a time when he’d tell of the things he’d seen ebb and flow. But she’s now seen as much as he had when they met.
“Reminds me of when I was human.”
Elijah doesn’t ask whether she misses it. It’s been a long one thousand years. “I never wanted this for you.”
It’s an old argument. She plays her part nonetheless. “I was never an innocent for you to keep on a pedestal. Remember I was already a wolf when we met.”
“Still, there’s bad and there’s worse.”
“Keeping that red door up was never any good for you. I’m glad we did away with it.”
“Hmm.”
Haley looks around: corpses on the couch; blood soaking into the carpet. It fills her with no joy. It fills her with no pain. It’s just a mess to clean up, something she has long accepted.
A hand turns her head away. Elijah is feeling nostalgic it seems. It’s been centuries since he wished to hide such things from her view. He kisses her.
“Let me.”
Hayley stands still as he moves into her space, scant inches between them. The compulsion allows her to do little else. His hand runs gentle down her arm. His other arm pulls her into an embrace. And he buries his face in her neck, letting sharp teeth bite down.
*
Hayley stands in the doorway, sighing at the picture before her. Elijah kneeling on the floor cradling a dead brown haired woman in his lap, weeping.
“You convinced another girl she was me.”
Elijah nods.
Hayley kneels in front of him. Stares at the replaying of his original sin: Tatia’s murder. That red door had much more behind it than either of them had expected.
She kisses her blood-drenched lips to his own. “I forgive you.”
