Wednesday: Song Stylings

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

Hi! I’m brumeier, and this week we’re going to be filling themes inspired by the holidays. Today’s theme is SONG STYLINGS, anything and everything about songs (lyrics, karaoke, song writing, etc)! Prompts and fills do NOT have to be specifically holiday-oriented.

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 Multiverse, Any,

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
(Judy Garland)

+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, any,

Even if nobody said Merry Christmas
If even the choirs and belfries made no sound
There would be peace on the Earth, and forgiveness
'Cause it’s Christmas in our hearts
(Downhere)

+ Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, Danny is a 1950s musical heartthrob

+ Any, Any, putting together a mixed tape for a special someone

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 2016 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.

Any, Any, putting together a mixed tape for a special someone

Marvel - Kitty Pryde/Peter Quill

[templefugate.livejournal.com]

Kitty doesn't say a word. By the time the wrapping paper hits the floor, Peter wishes he was the one with the power to phase through it.

"It's a mix tape," he says, pointing to the title he scrawled out. "Everything on it makes me think of you."

"It's a casette tape."

Peter's forehead wrinkles. "Yeah?"

"You live on a freaking spaceship and give me a casette tape." She smirks. "It just seems a bit outdated."

"I have a player if you need one."

"I'd appreciate it. I'll try and remember to give it back."

"I'll hold you to that."

Stargate Atlantis, Rodney McKay +/ Any,

Looks like you've been starving
You've got those hungry eyes
You could use some sugar
'Cause your levels ain't right
(Katy Perry)

[ami-ven.livejournal.com]

Stargate, any, teaching children's songs to aliens (with mixed results)

[ami-ven.livejournal.com]

Leverage, Eliot Spencer/Parker/Alec Hardison, sometimes they can get Eliot to sing for them

Any, any, "That's your favorite song?"

Fill: Weiss Kreuz, BradxKen

[nagi-schwarz.livejournal.com]

Brad stared at Ken, unimpressed. “That’s your favorite song?”

“What? It’s pretty,” Ken protested.

“Kiss From a Rose? It doesn’t even make any sense.” Brad unknotted his tie, set it aside, then shrugged out of his suit jacket.

Ken finished toeing his shoes off at the door, then followed Brad across the lushly carpeted den. “I didn’t say I liked it because it made sense. I like it because it’s pretty.”

Brad eyed him, headed for the little bar where he kept good whiskey in a crystal decanter. “It’s because you used to work in a flower shop, isn’t it? It warped your brain.”

“My best friend hating me and poisoning me and ruining my pro soccer career and trying to set me on fire and me becoming an assassin didn’t warp me instead?” Ken raised his eyebrows but accepted a crystal tumbler with a nod of thanks.

“You wouldn’t have worked in that stupid flower shop if all that hadn’t happened,” Brad pointed out. “Besides, I’m an ex-assassin and I have perfectly fine taste in music.”

Ken cast a look around Brad’s penthouse apartment - white leather sofa and matching seats, marble-topped coffee table, white grand piano, chandelier overhead and said,

“You grew up with money. Your taste in music isn’t fine. It’s stuck up.”

Brad raised his eyebrows over the rim of his tumbler, set it aside. “Well, then what’s good music?”

Ken sat down at the piano, played a familiar riff.

“Queen? Really?”

Ken sang softly, “Mama, just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger now he’s dead.”

“You never used guns.”

“Blades are so much messier. So much more personal.”

“Since when do you play piano?” Brad asked.

“Since I was a small child. You?”

“Same.” Brad nudged him aside gently, took over, started playing the song from the beginning.

They sang together.

After, Ken asked, “Is it weird? We used to try to kill each other.”

Brad said, “We’re the only ones in the world who understand each other.” And he began to play We are the champions, my friend.

So Ken sang, And we’ll keep on fighting to the end…

Later that night, when they tumbled into bed together, Brad couldn’t help but think about tomorrow would bring and be glad when the sun would dawn with Ken still in his arms.

Marvel Cinematic Universe, Bucky Barnes +/ any, Baby It’s Cold Outside

Hot Cocoa Bucky Barnes/Maria Hill

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

“What’s in this drink?” Maria Hill asks playfully, looking over the rim of the steaming mug she’s just been handed.

“It’s cocoa. You watched me make it--you honestly don’t think I’d try to poison you, do you?”

“No, James. I was quoting. You know, ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’.”

Still looking baffled, James Barnes glances toward the window, where snowfall blurs the cityscape beyond. “Why does it matter how cold it is outside? We live in the same building, for crying out loud.”

She rolls her eyes. “JARVIS, please play ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’. The controversial version,” she specifies before the AI asks for clarification.

As the song plays, Maria sips her cocoa, which is quite good, and helps herself to a linzertorte from the plate on the counter in James’s kitchen. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that he’s missed out on a lot of pop culture references. So has Steve, but James is more adept with modern tech and he’s picked up a lot of slang from his job in the cafeteria, so it’s usually less obvious.

“Okay, that wasn’t sketchy or anything,” he says when the song concludes, proving her point.

“Right? I don’t think you’re trying to roofie me, I was just making a joke.”

“My heart is pure and my motives are blameless.” He grins and holds up a brown bottle. “Would you care for a little Bailey’s Irish Creme in that?”

Any, any, the Sound of Music

fill; mini fill, any fandom, m/m, fluff

[cozy-coffee.livejournal.com]

Laughter and music are joy to a soul. They bring smiles to sad faces, and warm love to sweet hearts. The sound of music is best on chilly rainy days, when it purrs softly as two lovers cuddle in bed. Music is best to soothe a fearful soul during a storm, and best of all, the sound of music is perfect for nights in front of a cozy fire, when two sweethearts share a little kiss.

Fill: Monsta X AU (Secretary Chae/Executive Shin)

[sherlockian-syn.livejournal.com]

"Is there anything else you need me to do, Sajang-nim?"

Secretary Chae Hyungwon was tired and wanted to go home - but he couldn't rest until his boss, Executive Shin Hoseok of the legendary Starship Enterprises corporation, gave him permission to do so.

Hoseok blinked, an indignant look spreading across his face, which slowly morphed into a petulant pout.

"Have you completed my - I mean, your to-do list?"

Hyungwon suppressed a sigh and nodded curtly. "Yes, Sajang-nim."

Now Hoseok crossed his arms and looked around his desk, exaggerating his movements. "Where is my schedule for tomorrow? I don't see - "

"It's in your inbox. Where I always put it," Hyungwon interrupted. Hoseok gave him a sharp glance.

Hyungwon muttered. "Apologies, Sajang-nim."

Hoseok stood up from his desk, and Hyungwon felt himself wilting from the inside out. It'd been such a long day already, and he didn't want to play any of Hoseok's games.

"Chae-biseo, do you like working for me?"

This time Hyungwon couldn't stop a sigh from escaping him. "Yes, Sajang-nim."

Hoseok stepped out from behind his desk and took a few steps toward Hyungwon. "Would you do anything I asked you to do?"

This time, Hyungwon yawned, his gaze turning downward. "Yes, Sajang-nim."

"Anything, Hyungwon?"

Hyungwon glanced up from the floor and saw that Hoseok was now standing right in front of him. He jumped a little, startled at how close his boss was standing to him and that Hoseok had used his first name.

Those thoughts began to drift away as Hyungwon stared at Hoseok's face, now no longer irritable and sullen. He was biting his lip now, and had Hoseok always been this pretty?

"If you asked me to, Hyung," Hyungwon said, barely a whisper. He watched as Hoseok inched forward another step, leaning in to...

Hyungwon closed his eyes.

Then, a sharp clap on his shoulder, and his eyes flew back open. Hoseok was smiling at him, although a bit sadly.

"Go home, Chae-biseo. Tomorrow is another day."

Hyungwon nodded quickly and turned away. "Yes, Sajang-nim. Tomorrow."

After seeing himself out, Hyungwon walked away from Executive Shin's office and down the brightly-lit corridor, wondering if he'd been dreaming all along.

Any, Any/Any, "Simply the Best" (Noah Reid/Tina Turner)

[sherlockian-syn.livejournal.com]

Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark + ensemble, Tony requests that the Avengers perform Carol of the Bells for a Christmas charity function

Carol of the Bells

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

"You're kidding, Stark." Clint was pretty sure Tony Stark was crazy on any given day but this time...

"Nope." He popped the 'p' for emphasis. "I made a promise, I expect to see it through. With your help."

"I um." Bruce winced. "I cannot sing."

"Then you can have a tambourine to play. Next?"

"It's for charity. I'm in," Rogers said. When Natasha glared at him, he raised his eyebrow in response. "Charity," he repeated.

"Fine," she grumbled. "But Stark, you'd better get some more women to sing. I am not the only one dressing in an elf-getup."

"Pepper's already volunteered."

"More like he volunteered her," Clint whispered to Natasha. She snorted and rolled her eyes.

"Now, JARVIS can set up the music for practice but I already have recruited the NYC student orchestra to help us out on the instrumental scene." Stark wagged his head from side to side. "I made a nice donation to them - they won't have to sell band candy for a couple of years."

Clint tried to imagine how much band candy that might be and decided he didn't want to go there. "So...we won't be in uniform because of the," he had to stop there. "Festive clothing."

"Gay apparel," Stark corrected - straight-faced.

"Right."

"And what about me?" Thor asked in that particularly bombastic way he had.

"Big guy, I figure with your dad being who he is and all, you're going to be dressed up as Santa."

"What has that to do with it?" Clint whispered to Natasha.

"Odin might be one of the original versions of Santa Claus," she whispered back.

Making a silent "oh", Clint decided Natasha - and Stark - knew too much about too many things.

"So, any questions?" Stark clapped his hands.

"Just one, well, for now." Bruce stared at Stark. "Carol of the Bells? You do know how...elaborate that score is?"

Stark smiled. "Have faith, Bruce. Have faith."

Stargate Multiverse, any, Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon & Yoko Ono

BBC Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes +/ John Watson, John mentions how much he loves the song Greensleeves and Sherlock learns to play it on the violin

Fill: drabble

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

John Watson collapsed onto the sofa, stretched his legs out and groaned. The surgery had been busy, the tube delayed and consequently overcrowded, and when he emerged from the tube station the rain was pouring down. He watched as Sherlock took out his violin and hoped he wasn’t about to play anything discordant.

It wasn’t, and John felt himself relaxing. When Sherlock finished John said, “That was beautiful. I recognised ‘Greensleeves’, but that was even better. What was it?”

“You had said you liked the song,” Sherlock replied. “So I’ve been practising an adaption of Vaughan Williams ‘Fantasia on Greensleeves’.”
