Thursday: Beginnings or Endings
Jan. 24th, 2018 09:12 pmHowdy! We’ve made it to Thursday, and I remain
4bdnsn0wflake, and today’s theme is Beginnings or Endings.
This could refer to a relationship, life chapter, job, etc. However you interpret it is fine by me!
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...
+ Gundam Wing, all pilots, the first thing each pilot does after peace becomes reality
+ The Boondock Saints, Connor MacManus+Murphy MacManus, Murphy can’t imagine life without Connor, but he has to now
+ MCU, Bucky Barnes, the first time he really feels comfortable in the modern world
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 2018 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: 2018-01-25 03:13 am (UTC)Fill: Gundam Wing - Pilots - Making Their Peace
Date: 2018-01-25 11:07 pm (UTC)Wufei raged and ranted, furious that people who had not sacrificed for or earned the right to peace would benefit from it anyway. At least that's what he told himself, and anyone who would listen, why he was so angry to have achieved what he was fighting for.
Heero disappeared. He planned to come back someday, but for now he needed some time alone with no pressures and no responsibilities. He wasn't sure what he was going to do, but whatever happened it would be his choice not a mission or a job.
Duo laughed until tears ran down his face and he almost threw up. Laughed because it was safer than crying and felt better than raging. Then, when he was calm again he went to see Sister Helen and Father Maxwell to ask for their forgiveness.
Trowa went looking for Cathy. He wanted to kiss Quatre's tears away and hold him tight until he felt safe again, but he couldn't, he felt paper thin and broken; someone to be discarded now that his usefulness was over.

Date: 2018-01-26 01:07 am (UTC)I can only imagine how conflicted they would be once the fighting finally stopped.
Trowa's especially wrecked me, but this:
he went to see Sister Helen and Father Maxwell to ask for their forgiveness
got actual tears.
Thank you for such a wonderful, heartbreaking fill!
Re: Fill: Gundam Wing - Pilots - Making Their Peace
Date: 2018-01-26 04:21 am (UTC)Trowa always wrecks me in things like this because he thinks so little of himself.
*hugs and wipes your tears* I'm sorry it made you sad, but glad it moved you.

Date: 2018-01-25 07:13 am (UTC)fill - Scream 1996, Billy/Stu, AU
Date: 2023-03-27 05:54 pm (UTC)There are quite a few empty chairs at graduation, Class of 1997. It's quite a solemn affair, far more than usual, and at the beginning, there's a moment of silence before a memorial speech for all of those who could not be present. As the names are read, Billy Loomis and Stu Macher, the only two survivors of Neil Prescott's rampage, lean into each other, heads bowed, hands almost clasped.
"Congratulations, Class of 1997," the assistant principal announces after Francine Young has walked across the stage. "Go out into the world and do your best to honor those who could not be with us today."
Stu catches Billy's eye as they separate to meet up with their parents, and they share a smile. Honor, Stu mouths. Billy hides a laugh with a cough turned deep, sorrowful sigh.
They'll be honoring the dead, alright. What better way than to send some company along?

(like, the body Joe's been using isn't going to know what's happened, there's stuff going on with the company, the body isn't actually an IRS agent -- argh, so much stuff to be dealt with)

Date: 2018-01-25 02:03 pm (UTC)Filled: Letterkenny fandom - Wayne/Darry - Rated: G
Date: 2018-09-24 09:43 pm (UTC)As usual with discussions that started during chorin' and ended at the produce stand, Darry came up with just about anything to talk about. When Darry and Dan got into the meaning of phrases and other such, it was almost fun to watch. They started talkin' about 'opposites attract,' and Wayne pert near spit his beer when Dan smiled and looked first at Darry, then at Wayne.
"Best be mindin' yer Ps and Qs there, Squirrelly Dan," Wayne said as he finished the last sippable bits of his beer. "Figger it out," he said as he upended the bottle. Sure, Wayne and Darry were together now. But it wasn't like they were broadcastin' it for the whole town to know. They were takin' their time. Still didn't stop Dan from teasing them from time to time.
Darry just winked at Wayne, and then went back to his discussion.
Katy drove up and parked, then got out of the truck clutching something to her chest. "What'cha got there, Katy Kat?"
Katy walked up to Darry and leaned down. She handed him something out of Wayne's view.
"Oh god. He's so cute!"
"What'cha got there, Dar?" Wayne asked.
Katy stepped to the side to reveal Darry holding the tiniest of puppies. A mix of Lab and Shepherd looked like. "He's so tiny!"
"Runt of the litter, most likely," Katy said. "Found him in a cardboard box next to the clinic."
If that didn't make Wayne's heart hurt a little, nothing would. Still, he squinted as his ten-ply sweetie fussed over the tiny blob of fur. "'nother mouth to feed, Katy?"
"Yeah," she said. "But now that you'n Darry're together, you can raise him as your own." She walked to the cooler and bent down to get a beer, Squirrelly Dan's eyes focusing far on the distant landscape, which Wayne appreciated. She stepped next to Wayne and whispered, "And baby makes three."
"Now don't go and treat the thing like a baby, there, kiddo," Wayne said. "Next thing you know, Darry's gonna want him to sleep in the bed."
"Oh, can we Wayne? He's tiny. He won't take up much room."
Wayne stood up and grabbed a beer. He handed one to Dan, and pointedly ignored Katy as she laughed on her way up to the house. "You raisin' a puppy what sleeps in our bed," Wayne said as he got close to Darry, "that's just about all the extracurricular activities'll be goin' on." He handed Darry a beer, then leaned in and checked out the ball of fluff. There was something about the smell of a puppy that settled his soul. "He can sleep next to the bed. Final offer."
But Darry was ignoring him. Instead, he was playing with the puppy and asked, "What're we gonna call 'im?"
"You heard me, Darry," Wayne said.
"Yeah, yeah," Darry replied. "Buster? No... Bull? No, he don't look like no Bull. Koda? Wayne, how you like Koda?"
Wayne signed as he sat back down. "Long as he don't sleep on the bed, I like it just fine."
~*~*~
Wayne woke up just as the first rays of sunrise came through the window. Felt like he was in bed alone, since he usually woke up with Darry plastered against his back. He turned over and saw Darry asleep on his side, with Koda tucked under his arm. Either the puppy figured out how to climb up the bed in the middle of the night, or - more likely - Darry reached down and grabbed him and pulled him onto the bed.
As if he knew he was being watched, Koda opened his eyes and spotted Wayne. His whole body wiggled, and he got out of sleeping Darry's grip.
"Oh, bother," Wayne said. He reached over and picked up the pup, then took him outside to do his business, cursing the nip in the air. When he was done, he picked up the puppy, then carried him back upstairs. He found Darry, covers pushed back, so he set Koda down so that cold paws and tiny nails landed on Darry's unprotected stomach.
"Who? Wha?" Darry said. He sat up and grabbed the pup, then looked at Wayne. And those were unmistakably the big eyes. "Morning, Wayne," he said as he pulled Wayne down for a quick kiss. He then pulled Koda to him.
"I'll be out chorin'," he said, then shook his head with the barest of smiles on his face as Darry started playing with the pup.

Date: 2018-02-01 09:12 pm (UTC)Anger, hurt, pride hung in the air thickly, but there wasn’t a trace of forgiveness.
They’d been sleeping separately, and eating meals at different times. They were only in proximity when they would pass each other by chance, and then they would each look straight ahead, one not even blinking in the other’s direction.
Harry was still convinced he was the wronged one, but he couldn’t take it anymore. If it came down to a stubbornness contest, Zayn would win every time.
He walked into the living room, where Zayn was playing video games.
“Hey,” Harry said quietly as he plunked down on the couch.
Zayn didn’t answer immediately. He kept his eyes on the telly and took a drag on his cigarette.
Harry waited several beats, and was just about to stand up, when Zayn spoke.
“Hey.”
Harry dove right in.
“I hate fighting with you. Let’s stop this, okay?”
Zayn exhaled a stream of smoke slowly while Harry waited.
“Yeah,” He said finally.
Harry took Zayn’s hand and squeezed.
“So, we’re cool again?”
“Almost.” Zayn clicked off the TV and slid closer to his boyfriend. “Still need to have make-up sex.”
Harry would have laughed, but he was already kissing Zayn, and pulling the other man down on top of him on the sofa.
