Tuesday - Redemption

[milleniumrex.livejournal.com]

Hi, everyone! I'm milleniumrex, and I'll be your guest host this week!

Tuesday's theme will be Redemption.

Today's about showing the best in everyone, even those we normally think of as the bad guys. It can be a villain taking a rare turn towards the side of the angels, an antihero deciding to make a go at being a good guy, or one of the heroes atoning for past mistakes. You can even work three ghosts in there somehow, if that's what you want!

As always, remember the rules of the comm:

■ Don’t prompt more than 5 prompts in a row or 3 prompts per fandom. When someone has answered your prompt, you can prompt again.



■ No spoilers in your prompt until at least 1 week after the original airing or publication date. If there are spoilers in your fic, you must warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces.



■ Thank your fic providers they thrive on feedback.



■ For the sake of the code monkeys’ sanity remember to format your prompts correctly.

Formatting examples:

X-men, Magneto, He would never allow a fellow mutant to be die needlessly
DC Universe, Kara Zor-El/Owen Harkness, getting to play the hero for once.
DC Universe, Cassie Sandsmark/Cissie King-Jones, "I'm sorry I let you slip away."


None of today's prompts interest you? Make someone’s day and answer one of the myriad of Lonely Prompts.

Have fun!

Warning - Slight Spoiler for just aired episode - Wilson






Wilson thinks he is handling everything just fine. He's kept busy, organising their move, planning everything down to the last minute. House hasn't lifted a finger to help of course, his only input being to allocate a space for his piano. Wilson has to arrange to get the thing moved from House's apartment.

Wilson has made lists of things to do, things to pack, calls to make. Wilson has arranged for cleaners and movers. He hasn't let himself think of what he is leaving behind. Hasn't dwelt on the fact that this was where he lived with Amber, that when he leaves this place he will be leaving Amber behind forever.

Now though he is packing up her things. Most of it is going to charity. All he is keeping is his precious photos of her. Those he intends to wrap up carefully himself. He will put one or two up in their new place.

His fingers falter as he reaches for the first glass frame. He stares down at her. Across the room he can see House watching. Staring at him. Wilson looks up, blinking away tears and puts the photo down.

House comes over, the familiar limping footsteps echoing on the empty boards. Wilson braces himself for the mockery, for the taunts about his dead girlfriend - cut throat bitch. He tries to summon up the will not to care what House will say. He fails.

House picks up the photo and Wilson flinches, he is sure that House will smash it, throw it or otherwise destroy it. Instead House brushes his fingers over it, picks up the newspaper and begins wrapping. Carefully. Gently he puts in the box and reaches for another. Wilson blinks away more tears and swallows the lump in his throat.

Together they finish the packing, load up the box and leave the empty apartment. Time to start over and start fresh.

When Wilson opens the door to their new place he is happy to hear the limping footsteps follow him in.

It wouldn't be home if House wasn't there.
