foxxygoddess and today's theme is Altar. Prompts can be an actual altar or metaphorical one, you interpret the theme how ever you want. Now, go out there and write to your heart's content!
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...
+ Harry Potter, Any, praying at the altar of our love.
+ Flash, Any, waiting at the altar
+ Any, Any, being sacrificed on an altar to a higher being you don't even believe in
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.

Date: 2019-01-23 10:34 pm (UTC)Not in the least, because while riding through flame and smoke and smashing in the heads of Saxons that had nothing to do with him, Lancelot realized the sacrifice to be made was not something Arthur had offered, but something Arthur's God might have chosen for himself. The deity certainly had an odd sense of humor.
And once the Saxon prince was dead, and Lancelot lay on the ground with a fucking arrow bolt through his chest, he realized even more clearly that Arthur's God's choice was something Arthur had always sworn to Lancelot would not be an option. And Lancelot had always laughed at Arthur's words, because he knew it would be the ultimate joke in the entire world, and he'd be the one participating, not Arthur.
Arthur's knees hit the ground next to Lancelot, and Lancelot could do nothing but smile even as he tried to open his mouth (so tired, damn it) to tell Arthur it was, in the end, alright that he'd been the sacrifice to Arthur's God, because that was the way it had to be.
Funny, really.
The only word that made it out, though, was Arthur's name, and Lancelot didn't know if the other man could quite understand the rest of what he'd meant to say along with Artos.
The makeshift altar of grass and blood was appropriate for one such as him, and in that, he felt alright with God's decision, after all.

"That's one way of putting it."
