comment_ficHi everyone! I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trinityday and I'll be your guest host this week.
Today's theme is manners.
Ps & Qs. Social graces. Poise and deportment. Some people's default mode is to be polite. Others... not so much. So tell us about your characters following proper etiquette, their mishaps, everything that has to do with manners in general.
For the sake of our code monkeys, please remember not to go crazy and to limit yourself to 3 prompts per genre and 5 prompts in a row total. If your prompts get answered, then feel free to leave some more later in the day.
Spoilers are not allowed in your prompts until a week (7 days) has passed from the original air date. If there are spoilers in your fic, please remember to warn people by bolding and leaving at least 3 spaces.
Also, remember to thank your fic provider. Not only is it the nice thing to do, but it often helps encourage them to write even more.
The proper formatting for leaving your prompts is as follows, the third example being for crossovers:
Harry Potter, Lily/James, it's polite to reciprocate oral sex
Doctor Who, Doctor/Donna, the correct form of greeting on Earth in the 73rd century
Torchwood/Highlander, Methos/Jack, the proper etiquette for attending your own funeral
If none of today's prompts catch your eye, there's always the Lonely Prompts list to look through.

Date: 2009-12-07 06:25 pm (UTC)"You know, you're supposed to kneel before royalty," Arthur drawls, sarcasm thick in his voice.
Merlin looks older now, scruff adorning his cheek and a hint of thin, wiry muscle showing through his threadbare top. His smile, though, is the same, eyes lighting up, and Arthur can't help but smile back.
"You never remembered it before," the King mutters, "I don't know why I'd expect it to be any different now."
Merlin, slow and sure, glancing coyly through his lashes, lowers one knee after the other, head bowing slightly.
Arthur's breath hitches in his chest as his mind fills with all sorts of filthy, filthy things. Things he hasn't had a chance to do in over a year.
"Sire," Merlin replies, with all of the usual defiance.
Arthur stands, heart thumping in his chest. "Welcome back."
