Please see the most recent MOD NOTE


(updated 6 June)

Welcome everybody. How you got here I have no idea but thank you for coming and welcome again, nonetheless . As you may have gathered this is a Fic Prompting Meme dedicated solely to the hilarious and oh-so-addictive BBC Radio 4 sitcom - Cabin Pressure. I'm aiming for this to be pretty anything goes - but in order for everything to run smoothly, there are a few guidelines. Don't worry - they're not too restrictive.


FILLING GUIDELINES



As you probably all know - our meme now has it's very own database created and maintained by the great Enigel. It both catalogues each and every prompt that we post and provides links to fills. You can find it here: Google Spreadsheet

We also have a Pinboard archive which has been put in place by the lovely [personal profile] oxfordtweed in the place of our late Delicious Archive. This Archive contains a list of all the prompts this meme has to offer - you can find it here: Pinboard Archive

This is a great step forward in making our meme just a little more organised (but not too organised of course. This is Cabin Pressure) which is always a good thing.

So in order to make things easier to archive - Please nest your fills.

This can be done by either posting each part as a reply to that part's immediate predecessor, OR by replying each time to Part I OR - well you get the idea :D

It makes it simpler for Enigel and myself to link fills in a clean and clear manner. Following these guildelines will be very much appreciated guys :D

REPROMPTING



Reprompting is allowed but please include the URL of the original prompt when you do so. It will make it infinitely more easy to Archive which would make both Enigel and I very happy :)

As for everything else



  1. Be respectful to one another. Disagreements are fine, but not everything disagreeable is trolling. If you suspect someone of trolling, just ignore it. If you cannot respond to a comment without attacking or trolling someone else, keep it to yourself.

  2. No bashing prompts. It might not be your cup of tea - but obviously someone wants it enough to go to the effort of requesting it. So just scroll past it.

  3. Prompt away as much as you like guys - seriously, go wild - but please try to fill as well.

  4. NEW - If your fill includes a major element that veers from the original prompt (crossovers, established universes, kinks, et cetera), please take a few moments to check with the OP that such additions are welcome. This has caused problems in the past and it only takes a few moments of your time.
  5. Please no RPF. I'm not trying to oppress you RPF writers and enthusiasts, I would just really like to avoid any legal problems.

  6. When you post a fill (or post a new part of a WIP) please go over to the Filled Prompts Post (if it is complete) or the WIP Post (if there are still more parts to come) and, following each post's guideline's, post a link to this fill or new part.


REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM



According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.

+ Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.

It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.

Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

Forbidden Loves (5/5)

5. Prisoner/Guard
((I don't know where this came from. I haven't slept in 24 hours and I really need a nap. Please enjoy. :]))


"I could protect you."

"Who says I need protection?"

Herc gazes thoughtfully at Prisoner 55894163, who was once known as "Douglas Richardson". The other man has gray hair and round, brown eyes, and a devious, witty smirk.

"You're new," Herc says, adjusting the baton on his belt. "New meat is easy picking."

"So now you think I'm easy?" The prisoner--Douglas, Herc reminds himself, letting the name roll in the divots of his mind--asks. He leans back, crosses his arms behind his head and crosses his feet in front of him. "I'm flattered that you think I'm a spring chicken looking for someone to hide under. I must inform you that despite my youthful and exuberant energy, I am a man far too old to be in jail and far too experienced to need help from a prison guard." Douglas's smirk disappears and Herc thinks for a moment that he's being serious. "Besides, wouldn't being your 'wife' make me look like I'm sucking up to the big boys. A coward. A snitch." Douglas pauses and his eyes roam up and down Herc's muscular figure. He almost sounds disappointed when he adds, "Being with you would cause me more trouble than being alone."

Herc grips the bars of Douglas's cell. For some reason, he refuses to let that be Douglas's final answer. "What if I was your wife?"

Douglas's eyebrows rise and Herc can see more than interest in his eyes.

Thank you. Is it a too wrong it's right kind of shouldn't love thing? I kind of agree--there's something extremely fucked up about Prison AUs--but I don't care. <3

Interesting! Now that's really cool :) I've enjoyed all of these, fab job :)

(My brain is now looking at Douglas' prisoner number and singing 24601! at the top of its imaginary lungs...)

You're not alone. I saw "prisoner #" and automatically filled in 24601 regardless. XD

Thank you. I'm glad you liked them. :)

I'm guessing that is a Les Mis reference? *never seen it*

Indeed it is. You should see/listen to it if you ever get the chance, it's spectacular. Then again, I'm unrepentant fan of it so I may be a tad biased. :)

It is indeed- to summarise, Roger Allam played Inspector Javert, who is hunting the main character, Jean Valjean, whose prisoner number was 24601 :)
I recommend seeing it, if you get a chance, it's an excellent musical.

I'm such a Douglas/Martin shipper but I do love Herc's character too so much and Les Mis anyway and so I didn't stand a chance against liking this, did I?
Liked it! You did a splendid job filling this prompt!
