Kayōbi: Words That We Couldn't Say

[sherlockian-syn.livejournal.com]

Welcome back, everyone. I’m sherlockian_syn and this week's themes are based on songs from one of my favorite animes, Cowboy Bebop. Today's prompt is Words That We Couldn't Say. Prompts can be anything involving words left unsaid - keeping secrets, said one thing but meant another, unable to apologize or forgive, etc. (Interpret it as you like.)

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...
+ Stargate Atlantis, Evan Lorne/any, Someday maybe we'll make it right / Until that day, long endless nights / We couldn't say them / So now we just pray them / Words that we couldn't say (The Seatbelts)
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark/Steve Rogers, the things Tony wished he'd said to Steve before the Accords tore them apart
+ BBC Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, I'm dying here / 'Cause I can't say what I want to / I bleed my heart out just for you (Hot Chelle Rae)

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.

Someday maybe we'll make it right
Until that day, long endless nights
We couldn't say them
So now we just pray them
Words that we couldn't say

I'll make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you're not listening,
How long, 'til we call this love, love, love
(Christina Perri)

Any, any/any, too late to apologize

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Nancy Sheppard,

I didn't say "I'm sorry babe, 'cause half the fault was mine"
I didn't say "We'll work it out, 'cause all we need is love and faith and time"
I said "If that's the way you want it, I won't stand in your way"
She's gone and now I'm hearing all the things I didn't say
(Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show)

“Good work, team,” Ros Myers said. “I know we’d have liked there to have been no casualties, but we did well. Get off home; we’ll fully debrief in the morning.”

Lucas studiously avoided looking at Ros and picked up his bag.

“You did well,” Ros said. “You saved at least one of the girls.”

“Thanks,” Lucas muttered.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh,” Lucas paused. “Yeah, just tired. You know, the downbeat after the adrenalin spike.”

“Yes. Well, sleep well.”

“Thanks, I will.”

The conditions the girls had been in had brought back too many memories, Lucas doubted he’d sleep at all.

Stargate Multiverse, Any m/m,

Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
