Máirt = Music

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Good Tuesday my doves, it is I, classics_lover still on guest host duties. Tuesday's theme is Music. Prompts can be anything to do with music. Maybe there's a musical episode in the Marvel Universe, maybe you pick lyrics from your favourite song to inspire a fill, maybe someone goes to the opera. Go bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

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 (Avengers'verse), ensemble, "Why is everyone singing?" "It's a musical episode!"

+ Dragon Age, anypair, favourite campside songs

+ Any (please no SPN), any(+/ any), Yes sir, already told you in the first verse and in the chorus,
But I will give you one more chance...

Ooohh! Yes sir, I can boogie,
But I need a certain song,
I can boogie, boogie woogie all night long. (Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, Baccara)

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.

Prompt fill 1/2

John moved around his dorm room in near silence. He pulled drawers open in slow motion, sorting through clothing and jewelry without a sound. When John finished packing his duffel bag, he began to zip it closed. John pulled on the zipper and that was the first hint of noise that made Rodney stir.

John stopped, waited until Rodney stilled and appeared to fall back asleep. He managed to zip his bag closed and get to the bedroom door before realizing that he hadn’t grabbed his wireless earbuds from their charging dock.

John snuck back over to the nightstand between his and Rodney’s beds. He pulled each of the earbuds out of their charging case and put them in his pocket with his phone. It was when John turned, however, that he made his fatal mistake.

John’s bag swung around with his body, knocking the charge case off of the nightstand with a loud clatter. Rodney jolted awake.

“Wh-what was that?”

John turned back, making sure his duffel bag didn’t cause anymore destruction. “Nothing Rodney, sorry. I knocked something over. Go back to sleep.”

Rodney did the exact opposite of what John asked him to, and sat up in bed. He rubbed his eyes and John couldn’t help noticing how young and helpless Rodney looked in the near-darkness of the room, his high fever flushing his skin.

“You should put your mask on,” Rodney mumbled.

“Oh. Right.” John reached into his back pocket for his sickness mask and pulled it on over the lower half of his face. Now he looked like he was half-panda.

“I don’t understand why you always get the cutesy ones. They serve a simple function.” Rodney rolled his eyes but John could see a sleepy half-smile on his face.

“Why else? For the fans.”

John sat on the edge of Rodney’s bed, even though he knew he should be leaving.

“You’re headed to the showcase, right?” Rodney asked him, his voice sad.

“Yeah. I need to go soon.”

Rodney sighed and rubbed at his neck absent-mindedly. “Tell everyone that I’m still sorry.”

John huffed in frustration. “Rodney, Doctor Beckett said you might have meningitis. That’s serious. You were already pushing yourself in practice when we thought it was just the flu. You need to rest. You need to get better.”

Rodney crossed his arms and looked away.

John tentatively reached out and touched Rodney’s shoulder. “You know I’m right.”

Rodney jerked away from John’s touch. “Yes, okay? You’re right. It’s only our first release since our debut. It’s only been enough time that my reputation will suffer immensely and I will decrease in popularity with the fans. No big deal.”

“Are you kidding me? The fans love you, Rodney. In fact, ever since we announced you were going to sit out for the showcase, the Twitter feed has been going nuts. They want you to get better, Daniel wants you to get better, I want you to get better -” John stopped himself. He didn’t want to take it to a personal level.

It only made things more complicated. For everyone.

Rodney made a whining sound and sunk down into his pillows. “Wake me up when you get back?”

John nodded. “I will. We can even watch the stream together if you want. That is, if you’re feeling better.”

Rodney jabbed at his pillows and repositioned himself in bed. “Okay. Be safe, have fun without me, kill it, etcetera.” His eyes started to drift shut.

“Get well soon, Rodney.”

Without thinking, John pulled his mask down to his chin, leaned in close to Rodney, and kissed his forehead.

Rodney’s eyes fluttered open and he smiled. John reached out to push Rodney’s hair away from his face when he heard someone clearing their throat from behind them.

“John, everyone else is waiting on you.”

It was his personal manager, Elizabeth. She was clearly unhappy that John was still in the room he and Rodney shared instead of downstairs in the van with the others.

“Sorry Elizabeth.”

He stood up, hastily covering his face with his panda mask and grabbing his duffel bag. He pushed past Elizabeth, and she put a hand on his arm to stop him from marching away.

“I know you’re worried. Daniel and Doctor Beckett will take care of him though. He’ll be fine in no time.”

John tried to give Elizabeth his most charismatic smile. “I know.”

Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay

Didn't know what this would be
But I knew I didn't see
What you thought you saw in me
I jumped the gun
So sure you'd split and run
Ready for the worst
Before the damage was done

Stargate Atlantis, Ronon Dex +/ any

Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
We're alive till the moment we're dead
And a drowning man is just a living man
Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath

Fill 1/2: Ronon/Evan preslash, season 2

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

When Ronon was a Runner, he’d realized he’d taken a lot of things for granted in his life. A comfortable bed. Clean running water. Clothes that fit and were repaired. Useful armor and weapons. Food that wasn’t either terribly raw or terribly overcooked. Effective medicine.

Familiar faces.

Besides Teyla, Sheppard, McKay, Weir, and Beckett, no one on Atlantis ever looked familiar, because Ronon had long stopped bothering to learn faces and names. For seven years he’d never met the same person twice. Familiar faces were something that happened to other people.
Acquaintances were something that happened to other people.

Friends were a luxury a Runner was never afforded.

The first person whose face became familiar beyond the people who’d saved him from being a Runner was Major Lorne, partially because he hung around Sheppard a lot, as his second-in-command, a combination supporting officer, logistics officer, and personal secretary, judging by the number of forms he was always making Sheppard sign.

But also Lorne was nice to Ronon. Would save him extras of desserts he knew Ronon liked, or a piece of a dessert Ronon wouldn’t have otherwise had the chance to try. Lorne always waved and smiled at Ronon when they crossed paths on their morning run. He’d bring Ronon an extra bottle of water when he ran into Ronon during weight time in the gym.

Lorne gave Ronon paper and pens so he could write for himself, even though he didn’t know any Earth writing. (Lorne also gave Ronon a brightly-illustrated book that Ronon knew was meant for children, but it was useful for learning the Earth alphabet, or at least the one most of the expedition used. Lorne had inserted sticky notes with drawings on them of things Ronon had seen around Atlantis; the pictures beneath the sticky notes were inevitably things native to Earth that Ronon had never seen.)

Lorne gave Ronon more clothes, too, clothes that actually fit, clothes that Ronon liked to wear, that were Satedan in style, didn’t make Ronon look too much like an Earther.

After a while, Ronon realized that Lorne was pretty much everywhere on Atlantis (when he wasn’t offworld). Ronon could pick out six faces in a crowd. Three of them were his teammates. One of them was the man who’d taken the Wraith tracker out of them. One of them was the undisputed queen of Atlantis.

And one of them was Lorne.

Lorne, with his bright blue eyes, his sweet dimpled smile, his broad shoulders, his soft-looking dark hair.

Lorne came to Ronon and the team’s rescue when they were held captive offworld. He and his team went searching for them when Aiden and his band kidnapped them. He was alongside Ronon and McKay and even sacrificed two of his men to try to help save Sheppard. He was loyal to Sheppard even when Caldwell made things difficult for him because of it.

And then they went offworld to help give Lorne the backup he usually gave them after Dr. Lindsey reported Lorne’s team had taken fire (and of course he’d sent her for help - and to safety).

Ronon’s world went gray and distant when Sheppard knelt, used his knife to poke at a burnt corpse, and came up with Lorne’s dogtags.

When you fall asleep
With your head upon my shoulder
When you're in my arms
But you've gone somewhere deeper
Are you going to age with grace?
Are you going to age without mistakes?

And I need your love, babe
That's all I'm living for, yeah
