Tuesday: Movie Lines

[sherlockian-syn.livejournal.com]

Hello again, everybody! I’m sherlockian_syn and today's theme is Movie Lines. Prompts can be any lines, quotes, or exchanges from movies. Have fun!

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 Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, "It’s there, I know it is because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I, I look at you and…I’m home." (Finding Nemo)
+ Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, "How do you choose not to feel?" "I do not know. Right now, I am failing." (Star Trek Into Darkness)
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark/Stephen Strange, "Some people are just born with tragedy in their blood." (Donnie Darko)

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 2019 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.

Fill: Drabble, Lucas & Ros

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

“Because, Lucas North, the spiders run along the walls, and butterflies fly and don’t leave any trace,” Ros replied. “Besides which, you won’t find butterflies inside a cave system, they’d be quickly drawn back to the daylight.”

“I wouldn’t mind being drawn back into the daylight either.”

“Stop moaning and shine your torch a bit higher.”

Lucas did as he was told.

“There,” Ros pointed. “We go that way.”

They followed along until the tunnel expanded into a small cave.

“Right,” Ros said, “We leave the tracker here.”

“And then what?”

“Then, my little caterpillar, we return to the daylight.”

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, “Man, you're the hottest thing since sunburns!” (Better Off Dead)

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Danny stood in the doorway between the house and the lanai trying to decide if he should wake Steve or let him sleep. It had been awhile since he had seen the other man so still.

Steve took the decision out of his hands by rolling over and sitting up. He yawned and stretched giving Danny a glimpse of his tan, washboard abs. "See something you like, Danno?"

"Man, you are the hottest thing since sunburns!" Danny quietly declared.

"That the best you can do?" Steve taunted as he stood and made his way toward Danny.

"I could have gone with you are the best thing since sliced bread," Danny quickly retorted.

"That's not any better," Steve told him with a sly grin.

Danny slipped a hand behind Steve's neck and murmured against Steve's mouth, "Just go with it, McGarrett," before soundly kissing him.

Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, "For the last five years I've been trying to do one thing, get to right here. That's all it's been about." (Avengers: Endgame)

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

Marvel Cinematic Universe, Any, "This is ridiculous. It's crazy. I feel like I'm babysitting, except I'm not getting paid." (The Goonies)

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Phil Coulson routinely cursed the day he agreed to help Nick Fury gather all the world's superheroes into one dysfunctional group.

He couldn't say it was a good idea at the time, because deep inside he knew it wasn't. But trying to talk Nick Fury out of doing anything was like trying to sell ice to Eskimos.

Chaos was what ensued. It ensued on a daily basis.

In fact, today's dose of chaos involved the Avengers on one side and all the world's villians on the other side trying to redecorate Manhattan.

Phil sighed and ducked a ray of mass destruction.

"How is this my life?" he muttered to himself. "Seriously, how is this my life?"

"You didn't take that left turn at Alburquerque," Clint supplied as he ran by chasing several of the villians' minions.

"Not helping, Barton," Phil snapped.

"What are you grousing about now, Agent?" Tony asked as he stopped to hover over Phil and dispatch more minions.

"Above your pay grade, Stark," Phil sniped in replied. Stark was the only Avenger that routinely got on his nerves.

"Nothing is above my pay grade," Tony retorted. "I'm a billionaire."

"You're a royal pain in the ass," Phil told him. "Go help, Barton."

"You say the sweetest things, Agent," Tony tossed back before following Clint and hollering, "Save some for me, Leglos."

Phil sighed again. It was going to be another long day.

"Are you alright, Phil?" Steve asked over the coms.

"I'm fine, Steve," Phil reassured him.

"Okay," Steve replied before going back to the fight.

Phil went back to mentally organizing his clean-up crews when Spiderman swung into view followed by one of Doom's robots thus putting paid to all Phil's carefully constructed plans.

He threw his hands up in the air and hollered for no one's benefit, but his own, "This is ridiculous. It's crazy. I feel like I'm babysitting, except I'm not getting paid!"

He ducked another ray of mass destruction and went back to managing the chaos.

Any, Any, "I knew you'd pay a price for this. I knew you couldn't be so hopelessly geek-ridden for so long without suffering some really tragic consequences." (Pleasantville)

“Where we going?”

“We’re not going anywhere, Colonel,” Rodney said irritably. “I have a staff meeting.”

“Cool.”

John kept pace with him, and Rodney sighed. Spending time with John had been difficult since the accident, not the least because Rodney was the only one he seemed to want to be around. Which, yes, was something he’d always wanted more of but not under the current circumstances.

“John. How are you feeling today?” Woolsey asked when they walked into the conference room.

“Good,” John replied. But Rodney could tell from the slight furrow in his forehead that John was trying to remember Woolsey’s name.

“Richard,” Rodney prompted.

“Right.”

John plunked himself down in the nearest chair and started lazily swiveling in it. The laces on his boots were undone.

“And how are you doing?” Woolsey asked Rodney in a more hushed tone.

Rodney brushed off his concern. “I’ll be fine as soon as we get this meeting over with. I’m very busy.”

It wasn’t easy to concentrate, though, when half his attention was taken up with watching John, who was trying to follow the meeting but kept losing the thread.

*o*o*o*

“What’re we doing?”

“Going out to the pier, remember? There’s a meteor shower tonight.”

“Meteors. Right.”

John walked beside Rodney, six pack of beer in his hand. Rodney had some muffins Lorne had made just for them; he always seemed apologetic for taking over military command of Atlantis, like it had been a coup or something instead of a necessity.

Keeping John in the City had taken a lot of work, and some veiled threats to the right people. Jennifer had agreed that the familiar surroundings and people would only be a benefit to John’s recovery, especially after the disastrous trip he’d made to the SGC following the accident. Rodney never wanted to see John that upset and confused ever again. Not when he had the power to keep it from happening.

They sat at the edge of the pier, after Rodney unrolled a pallet for them to sit on. It was a nice night, warm without being sticky and the fingernail moon not washing out the starry sky.

“This is nice,” John said.

“It’s not bad,” Rodney agreed.

The beer was cold and the muffins were delicious, and for a while they could just sit and stargaze and not talk about anything important. Almost like it used to be.

“What are we looking for?” John asked after a while.

“Meteors,” Rodney reminded him again. “It should be starting soon.”

“Do you get tired of me?”

Rodney looked over at John, startled. “What?”

“I know I’m different now. I can’t remember stuff. Don’t you get sick of repeating yourself all the time?”

Rodney immediately felt guilty. Had he been short with John? It was annoying, in that he hated having to repeat himself. But…it was John. He’d do anything for that man, regardless of his mental capacity.

“I could never be sick of you,” Rodney replied honestly. “A little overwhelmed, sometimes. I wish I could help you.”

“But you do!” John turned, pulling his legs up. “When I’m with you…it’s like I can almost remember. When I look at you, I can feel it. You feel like home.”

Rodney’s eyes were burning, and he could barely swallow around the lump in his throat. He was sorry he’d ever complained, even just to himself, about John being his constant shadow. He opened his mouth, unsure of what he was even going to say.

“Hey, look!” John pointed up at the sky. The meteor shower had started.

He’d probably forget what he said, because he forgot most things these days, but when they both lay back with the wide expanse of night sky above them to watch the meteors streak through the atmosphere, John snuggled up next to Rodney, his hair tickling at Rodney’s ear.

“You feel like home to me, too,” Rodney whispered.

Fill 1/2: Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams

[brumeier.livejournal.com]

“I don’t like this,” Danny said, pacing around the small hotel room. “There are too many unknowns. You won’t be able to plan for everything.”

Steve sat at the small round table in the corner, disassembling his service weapon. The shades were drawn, but there wasn’t anything to see out the window at that hour of the night. The only light in the room came from the small lamp on the nightstand between the double beds.

“Wouldn’t be the first time I had to think on my feet,” Steve replied, all his focus on the job at hand.

Normally Danny liked watching Steve, liked the way his thin, dexterous fingers handled all the smaller components of the gun. Sometimes he imagined what else those clever fingers might get up to, if properly motivated.

“Maybe we should call this whole thing off,” Danny said. He couldn’t stop moving, couldn’t stop worrying. “Come at it from a different angle after we’ve had more time to plan.”

Part of being a cop was knowing when to trust his gut, and right now his gut was telling him to leave. They should go back to Oahu, regroup, bring the team in for a different perspective. But Danny could tell just by the way Steve was holding himself, by the lines of tension in his shoulders and his jaw, that it was too late to talk him out of it.

“Then let me be your backup. That’s why you dragged me into this task force to start with, isn’t it?”

Steve looked up and his gaze was flinty and sharp, like the edge of the knife he had strapped to his belt. Danny almost took a step back. He hadn’t seen that look since the hunt for Hesse.

“No,” Steve said. “You stay here and you make the call if I don’t come back.”

“You’re being unreasonable!”

“I’m keeping you safe,” Steve snapped. He turned his attention back to his gun, carefully cleaning the barrel. “That’s all that matters.”

Danny could imagine all too well how things would end, and only one of the scenarios running through his mind concluded with Steve arriving back at the hotel at the allotted time, hale and healthy and having taken care of the problem. In reality, there was only a fifty-fifty chance anyone would even find his body.

But Danny was the one who felt like he was dying, his chest so tight he could barely breathe. He needed a way to derail the McGarrett train to Crazytown, and soon. Steve was supposed to rendezvous with Moran in two hours.

Time was running out and that meant there was only one thing to do, and fuck-all what it might mean if Steve actually managed to survive the night.

DC Extended Universe, Barry Allen/Arthur Curry, "When he looks at me, the way he looks at me... He does not know, what I lack... Or - how - I am incomplete. He sees me, for what I - am, as I am. He's happy - to see me. Every time. Every day." (The Shape of Water)

“I was going to get us some cake since we needed cheering up, but I can’t get the lid off the tin with one arm in a sling,” Adam said.

“It’s all right, I’ll come and do it,” Lucas replied. He groaned as he tried to get off the sofa. The wound where the knife went into his side still hurt whenever he moved.

“Tell you what, if I bring the tin over, can you open it without straining your side?”

“I think so, don’t aggravate your bullet wound. You have to recover before Ros insists we need her help.”

Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes + Any villain, "Bravo! Bravo! A marvelous performance! Although I was expecting you fifteen minutes earlier. Trouble with the chemistry set, old boy?" (The Great Mouse Detective)

Stargate Atlantis, Rodney McKay/Evan Lorne, "When I'm around you, I kind of feel like I'm on drugs. Not that I do drugs. Unless you do drugs, in which case I do them all the time. All of them." (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World)

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

"When I'm around you, I kind of feel like I'm on drugs," Rodney confessed to Evan one day out of the blue. "Not that I do drugs. Unless you do drugs, in which case I do them all of the time. All of them."

Evan smiled.

"What?" Rodney asked suddenly fearing he was about to be rejected.

"Shut up, McKay," Evan quietly said as he stepped closer.

"But?"

"Be quiet," Evan commanded as he placed a finger against Rodney's lips.

Rodney nodded.

Evan removed his finger and replaced it with his mouth.

Rodney melted into the kiss feeling like he had gotten all his birthday wishes rolled into one perfect moment.
