[identity profile] sherlockian-syn.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] comment_fic
Hello, everyone. I’m [livejournal.com profile] sherlockian_syn and this week's themes were based on songs from one of my favorite animes, Cowboy Bebop. Today's theme is Adieu. Prompts can be anything related to saying goodbye - someone didn't get the chance to, someone doesn't want to, someone regrets ever saying it at all, etc. Thanks for participating this week. I hope you had fun!

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, any m/m, saying goodbye when you're unsure you'll see each other again
+ Any, any + any unrequited love, But you can set sail to the west if you want to / And past the horizon, 'til I can’t even see you / Far from here where the beaches are wide / Just leave me your wake to remember you by (Gregory and the Hawk)
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark/Stephen Strange, You don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees / You don't want to watch me die / I just came to say goodbye love (RENT)

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.

“It’s not really goodbye, is it?” John stood at the bottom of the gate ramp.

“Not a forever goodbye. I’ll see you again.” Evan smiled.

They both knew he couldn’t be sure, though. The Atlantis Expedition personnel had been chosen with the knowledge that the trip could be one-way.

“You’re optimistic.”

“Daniel Jackson has died six times - one time for a whole year. You learn to find hope in strange places.”

John raised his eyebrows. “You’re kidding.”

“Nope.” Evan turned to go. “C’mon. There are better ways to do a send-off than this.”

“Yeah?”

“They start with homemade apple turnovers.”

Aww! A little follow-up! I love the call-back to the apple turnovers, and that Evan wants to give John a good send-off.

You're welcome, and thank you! I figure John deserves some cuteness after all he's been through.

Fill: DCEU, AquaFlash

Truth was, beyond the Justice League, Barry had nothing, was no one. Diana was a princess (even if she didn’t really get Princess Diana jokes). Bruce was a mega gazillionaire. Victor had been a star athlete and was a genius in his own right. And Arthur was the freakin’ King of Atlantis. He was super tall and strong, beautiful and charming and also badass.

For now, he was in Barry’s arms, in Barry’s bed, would sometimes make him coffee the morning after. When they stood side-by-side in battle, they shone, but Arthur was a supernova, and Barry was a fleeting comet.

One day Arthur would be gone, far out in the western seas where Barry couldn’t follow no matter how fast he ran.

Sometimes, in the darkness, Barry would kiss Arthur softly and say, Just leave me your wake to remember you by.

Oh, man. Barry feels times a million! He clearly doesn't see his own worth, which is very sad. You captured the emotion here beautifully!

Thank you! I super love that song, and that verse seemed perfect for Barry and Arthur. Barry seems like the most insecure of the lot, so I ran with it (no pun intended).

It was an awesome prompt, and well, anything with seas had to be Arthur - and therefore Barry - to me. We do love Barry. Arthur does too. Barry just has to figure it out.

You're welcome!

They stood on the street corner, looking at each other awkwardly. Finally, John held out his hand, and Sherlock, not knowing how else to respond, shook it. Then, without a further word, John turned and strode off towards the tube station. Sherlock watched as John took out his mobile and began talking, his shoulders noticeably relaxing as the conversation continued.

Sherlock watched until John descended the steps into the station. Then he, too, turned and walked the other way. It didn’t really matter when he went, nothing mattered now; he had done all he could, and it hadn’t been enough.

Rodney stood at the gravesite staring at the freshly-turned dirt, flowers in his hand. There was no headstone yet, just a marker to show who was buried there. Not that he needed anyone to tell him.

Beloved Daughter
Jennifer Keller

He tried to feel something. Anything. They’d been together for over a year, partners and lovers. Survivors. Except Jennifer hadn’t survived. And Rodney’s real partner had been lost to him. He loved Jennifer, of course he did, but it was only a faint echo of what he felt for John.

Leaving Atlantis had been hard, especially under the circumstances. Leaving without John…that had been a misery. Rodney and Jennifer had turned to each other for comfort, for friendship, for someone who understood what it had been like out there in the grandeur and terror of Pegasus.

Now he was alone.

“Stop chasing what’s already gone,” Jennifer had told him. “You have to live this life, the one we have now.”

Maybe that was true. But Jennifer was dead. Teyla, Ronon, Sam… If Rodney’s plan worked, he could fix it. He could fix everything, just by bringing John back.

“I’m sorry, Jen,” Rodney said. “I’m going to have to break that promise. There’s nothing left for me here now. This life isn’t worth living anymore. But it can be. And I’m the only one who can do it. I know you don’t like me bragging, but it’s true.”

Rodney knew he could find a way to bring John back. John, who wasn’t dead, only thrust so far in the future he couldn’t find his way home. Well, that just meant it was Rodney’s turn to save Colonel Reckless.

“Goodbye. And thanks.” Rodney put the flowers on Jennifer’s grave. He wouldn’t be coming back. He had a lot of work to do.

This is beautiful, and a lovely coda to The Last Man. I love how you show Rodney's genuine love for Jennifer without it being tainted by his stronger love for John, because that's really how it is on the show, even if his relationship with Jennifer isn't always super healthy. Thank you so much!
