Hi folks.
trinityday again, your guest host for this week. And today our theme is the seven deadly sins.
Lust (or extravagance). Gluttony. Greed. Sloth (or despair). Wrath. Envy. Pride (or vainglory).
For the sake of our code monkeys, please remember not to go crazy and to limit yourself to 5 prompts in a row, with only 3 of those in the same fandom. If your original 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, warn people by bolding and leaving at least 3 spaces.
Also, please thank your fic provider. Not only is it the nice thing to do, but it often helps encourage them to write even more.
Please make sure you format your prompts correctly, the last being for crossovers:
Veronica Mars, Veronica/Lilly, lust for life
Dark Angel, Max/Alec, too vain and boastful for her taste
Pirates of the Caribbean/Doctor Who, Jack/Christina, envious of the other's freedom
If none of today's prompts catch your eye, check out the Lonely Prompts over at delicious.

pride goeth, the serpent says - Lucifer/Sam, PGish
Date: 2009-12-08 05:43 pm (UTC)You'll say yes, he purrs. You will. Everyone else has, and when we're together, we'll rule and tame and break this world. We'll be a force unlike any other--we'll shake His throne and cast Him low, our foot on His neck. We'll be everything, better than all that was or is or will be. We are endless, beyond bounds.
You'll say yes, he promises, pride in his eyes and his words. You'll say yes to me. We'll be everything.
But you have a brother and salt and blood and gunpowder and leather and engine grease. You have years with him and years apart, Hell and college between you but unable to shake everything that came before.
So even if you say yes--which you won't, you swear, you won't--it won't be a complete surrender.
You'll say yes to me, he whispers, kissing your forehead, your nose, your lips. You'll say yes.
Even if you do, a long time ago, you already said yes to Dean.
Pride defeated him before, you think, tasting apple and blood. Pride is your sin, too.
The only place left to fall is to him.
But Dean will pick you up and dust you off and hand you a knife and a gun, so even if you say yes--which you never ever will--you have a lifeline.
You'll say yes to me, he swears, anointing your brow with blood. You'll give me your consent and Creation will be ours.
Pride, you think. Unending. Weakness.
Yours, too.
