Tuesday: Warm & Cozy!

[schweinsty.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m schweinsty, and you can tell I signed up to guest host while it was still cold because today's theme is warm and cozy. Prompts should have something to do with warm, cozy scenarios or leave you feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside.

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...
+ Tangled, Eugene Fitzherbert, The first winter in his life he doesn't have to worry about cold, hungry nights
+ The Mentalist, Patrick Jane, Tea and a good book on a cold, rainy day
+ Push, Nick Gant + Cassie Holmes, Nick gives the best, warm hugs

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.

FILL!

There is this weight in her chest that weakens her heart, and she softly brushes away the tears that fall down her rosy cheeks. She doesn’t want to weaken, they need to push on and be strong to take down division, but lately the dogs of war have been too hot on their tails and she is crumbling under the latest vision.

A dark room alight by only the soft glow over the moonlight, a body in the middle of the room, and while she cannot see who the man is, she fears its nick. A hot shower does very little to calm her weary soul. She steals one of his hoodies and it’s a little comfort to her as she slips into bed with him.

It makes sense that when she is feeling down a hug can often help lighten her sorrowful feelings, and just like that, when his kind arms circle her little body and hug her snuggly soft, a little sweet smile lightens her beautiful face. It's like magic, his hugs seem to shoo away all the hurt and fear and she has this feeling of peaceful grace that warms her and make her believe that everything will be alright.

Nick snuggles her as she lays her head on his chest, she feels safe and excited about the future, like that one kindhearted hug was enough to save not only the world but her downhearted soul. They are facing a daunting task of taking down Division, but his hugs are full of hope.

Therefore, she takes a moment to give him a hug in return, no longer fearing the future but seeing it with a new hope.

Any, Any male/any male Burning Embers

[jdl71.livejournal.com]

After a long day at work, they just need some time to relax. To let go of the case they'd worked that day. It had been a bad one, involving human trafficking, forced labor and prostitution. A case like this always got under their skin, made them sick to their stomachs. On the best of days, they saw the dregs of humanity. On days like this they weren't so lucky, they saw humanity at its most vile.

Steve had known what they both needed to unwind, to get the images of the broken people out of their minds, if only for a few hours. He'd set up the fire pit and logs of wood a few yards away from the shoreline, along with a cooler of beers and two chairs.

They sat next to each other, letting the warmth of the fire and the sound of the crashing waves sooth away the sights from earlier. Steve reached into the cooler, pulled out two beers and handed one to Danny.

"Thanks," Danny whispered, lost in his thoughts. The youngest they had rescued was around Grace's age. That could have been his daughter was the thought that went around and around his mind.

"Hey, don't man," Steve said as he looked at Danny. He knew what the other man was thinking. "It wasn't Grace. She's home, she's safe."

Danny looked over at him, a weak smile on his face. "Yeah you're right. Still doesn't make it better. The ones we managed to get to safety. They're going to need a lot of help. I just don't . . ." Danny let his words slip away, carried off by the sea breeze.

"The fire's dying out." Danny said as he brought his focus back to Steve and took another sip of beer.

Steve shrugged his shoulders at the words as he looked over at the fire pit. "Yeah, they are." He saw the glowing embers and felt the heat that was still radiating off of them. He was just too comfortable to get up and do anything about it.

"This was a good idea. Thanks. Just now I'm too comfortable to get up and another log to get the fire going again," Danny said as he sank back into his chair.

"It's fine. The night's still warm. We can just sit here and watch the fire go out," Steve said as he looked over at Danny. He noticed Danny's eyes were closed, head tipped back in relaxation. Steve let out a sigh and closed his eyes. He only needed a minute or two to relax, then he'd drag himself out of his chair and add another log. Maybe.

Any, any male/any male, Spending a quiet Sunday on the couch

[paperbackwriter.livejournal.com]

Just a quick drabble x


They rarely had the chance to do this anymore.
As kids, they often curled into same position on a Sunday morning. Now it seemed like too much of an indulgence, even as Dean lay at one end of the couch, pulling the paper apart and waiting for Sam to bring them breakfast.
Once Sam dropped the two steaming mugs onto the table, he settled into place opposite Dean, each brother warming the other’s feet under their elbow.
Dean offered up Sam’s section of paper, accepted a bacon sandwich in return and, for a while, all was well in the world.

Marvel (any comic book/cartoon/movie/show), Any Femslash, seeing her girlfriend wear her clothes makes her feel warm on the inside

FILL - Natasha Romanov/Pepper Potts

[4bdnsn0wflake.livejournal.com]

Pepper wrapped her arms around herself and shivered. She never should have believed the forecast. The weather in March was too unpredictable, and the temperature must have dropped at least ten degrees since the morning.

“Take my coat,” Natasha offered as they made their way down the street.

Pepper shook her head.

“I’m fine,” she said through chattering teeth.

“You’re freezing.” Natasha called her bluff. She stopped walking so she could slip out of her leather jacket.

“Then you’ll be cold.” Pepper could actually see her breath when she exhaled.

“I’m from Russia,” Natasha put her coat over Pepper’s shoulders. “We don’t get cold.”

Pepper laughed as she pulled the jacket on over her thin trench coat. The leather garment had a quilted lining, and made her feel instantly warmer.

“I’m sure I look ridiculous now.” She tutted, but she zipped the jacket all the way up as far as it would go.

“You look beautiful.” Natasha said, and there was a fondness in her voice that almost made Pepper blush.

Pepper felt a few wet drops on her nose and looked up at the sky.

“Rain, too?” She said, completely betrayed by Mother Nature.

“Let’s get home,” Natasha took her girlfriend’s hand. “I can think of a few more ways to warm you up.”

They headed back to their apartment, and Pepper knew pretty soon the weather would be the last thing on her mind.

Lucifer (TV), Lucifer Morningstar(+any), he has an "old man" sweater buried deep in his closet that he'll never let anyone see him wear, but it comforts him somehow

Fill - "Won't You Be"

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It's grey and rumpled and there might be a moth hole or two in it. Still, it's sealed up in a zippered dress jacket covering, just in case someone decides to go snooping.

He doesn't wear it often. Maybe only once since he spotted it in a thrift shop (of all places). It's almost the idea of it existing more than anything.

When he and Mazikeen first arrived, after she'd cut off his wings, before he'd acquired Lux, he'd spent some time watching things. People. Vehicles. Animals. The ocean.

He'd watched a lot of movies. Talk shows. Classic TV.

At some point, he'd found a soft-spoken man with some strange little puppets. The man would take off a jacket and put on a cardigan sweater.

Lucifer thought the man ridiculous - feelings, of all things, good neighbors - but there was something about his voice. And when Lucifer saw that cardigan while searching for something more glittery than dross, and found himself paying for the damned thing.

Well, maybe some day he'd do a Sexy Mr. Rogers role play.

Maybe. Until then, it was a reminder that someone might want him for a...neighbor.

[4bdnsn0wflake.livejournal.com]

Prince Adam tugged at his long locks and frowned as he looked in the mirror.

“Do you think I should cut it?” He asked his wife absently. “I’m getting older and…”

“No!” Belle said, much more forcefully than she’d intended.

Prince Adam turned to face her, his expression questioning.

“It’s just…” Belle fidgeted with the book in her hands. “I like running my fingers through it, and…” She averted her eyes.

Prince Adam walked over to the sofa and sat next to his wife.

“You can tell me,” he assured.

“It reminds me of when you were the Beast.” She confessed, suddenly wistful. “When we were falling in love. That was such a special time for me.”

“Ah.” Prince Adam said.

“It’s not that I don’t love you just the way you are.” Belle quickly added.

The prince took her hand.

“Those were very special times. You helped me find my humanity again, but the Beast will always be a part of our history.”

“And,” Belle couldn’t suppress a giggle, “you were so cute sometimes. Your fur was always cuddly and warm. Like a giant teddy bear.”

“Well,” Prince Adam said thoughtfully, “I could have the servants make me a bear suit if you miss it that much.”

Belle laughed and shook her head.

“The last thing I need is for the villagers to start calling me a ‘furry’…again.”

Prince Adam chuckled.

“I suppose I could stop shaving for a while as a compromise.”

Belle twirled a section of the prince’s hair around her finger and kissed his cheek.

“Deal.”
