Prompting Post V

[cabinpres_fic]

Please see the most recent MOD NOTE and ADDENDUM

(updated 5 July)

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 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.

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.

4. Please no RPF. I'm not trying to oppress you RPF writers and enthusiasts, I would just really like to avoid any legal problems.


5. 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.

Herc and Martin flew together in Gertie once. Surprisingly, Herc flirted with Martin.

Either potential Herc/Martin, or it's because of some kind of bet? Or Herc wanted to prove something to Douglas?

AU online cathar... ehm prompt

[(Anonymous)]

Because to me, the mod for this meme will forever speak in a nice Martin voice

Martin mods a forum about planes. It’s really small, maybe ten other users at best. And they all respect him as the Mod. He has friends there, and it is a small comfort as he tries to go through his days of menial jobs that leave him too tired to study for his CPL.

Then something happens, like Justin Bieber saying he loooves planes or something, and suddenly the forum’s number of users goes up to epic proportions, and so does the fighting and the wank. Maybe one of the new users (sky_god_extraordinaire?) got there because his 12 year old daughter showed it to him, and he spends his evenings trolling the forum for fun.

Martin is overwhelmed by the wank, and posts that he will be stepping down. Cue Douglas taking pity on him and helping him keep things in order? And on line friendship, or more?

Re: AU online cathar... ehm prompt

[lunard136.livejournal.com]

(It's weird. The mods have Carolyn's voice in my head every time they speak. I think I'm a bit afraid of them even if I love them...)

Love the prompt! LOVE the idea that Martin would mod something like that (and he would be overwhelmed, wouldn't he?) Seconding!

Herc/Martin

[mycroftss]

I have been given permission to reprompt this, which is lovely. My apologies for any drama before, I love you all.

Can I just have some Martin/Herc smut please.

I love Martin/Douglas, God I do, but no Douglas involved please. Just Martin and Herc because I am a little bit in love with Anthony Head.

Re: Herc/Martin

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, do you have any legit squicks? Like absolutely never, ever, oh-my-god-that's-gross kind of squicks?

crossover, Molly/Martin, werewolf AU

[(Anonymous)]

point form for clarity

- either Molly or Martin is a werewolf
- whether or not werewolves exist is common knowledge up to the filler
- the wolfy one scents the other and this triggers a 'oh! this is my mate!' response
- would love the wolfy one having to use scent to track down the other, a bit of a hunt, puzzled friends following behind
- possibly even the wolfy one doesn't fully understand what they are doing or why
- then the two finally meet and there's courting behaviours and "O_o? Um, hello cute person, why are you sniffing me?" etc
- happy ending preferred please
- no non-con

Re: crossover, Molly/Martin, werewolf AU

[(Anonymous)]

Oooooo. I would like to see this :)

Torture, torture!

[lunard136.livejournal.com]

I love those fics where Martin or Douglas gets abducted, tortured, and the other one rescues them.

But so many times, the story is focused on the rescuing (which is great! Angst and all!) and the "You are safe now". I like the two other parts better. The "I'm nursing you back to health" and... *especially* the torturing part.

Can I have Martin or Douglas being kidnapped? and tortured and tortured and tortured?

You don't even have to include the before or the after (past the "hey, I've got you" part (though I would love it if you did) You are free to do as you like if: there is torture, torture and more torture.

My only requests are no Arthur/Martin, no cross-over because I'm too picky in those and whoever gets kidnapped has to 1-not die 2-still be able to fly the plane after a while (no wanking off arms, though a finger or two is ok).

TD;RL Martin or Douglas get tortured.
Why am I not anoning? What is wrong with me?

Re: Torture, torture!

[(Anonymous)]

no wanking off arms

Freudian typo? LOL :)

[(Anonymous)]

Martin/Douglas or Martin/Arthur share a nice, warm bath. Fluff requested. Smut always good, but optional.

[(Anonymous)]

When you say smut...what do you mean?

Herc/Martin fluff

[(Anonymous)]

Hercules and Martin in bed. Fluff.
Light on the smut, that is to say no smut at all. Just them sleeping, or having pillow talk. Just sweet stuff. :)

In the Morning (TW for FLUFF and soft kisses and declarations of LOVE)

[(Anonymous)]

Just put in the warnings in case. ;)
I hope this is what the OP wants. Not beta-ed and it may have Americanisms in it, but I can't really care about that at the moment.

--

He woke to warmth.

The sun pooled along the bright white cotton of the duvet and Hercules' soft snores filled the room. It was cool, the window open to let the early morning breeze waft gently through the room. Martin could feel it on his face, even though his eyes were not yet open.

He smiled a little and though he'd like to go back to sleep. Early mornings like this were hard to come by. He and Hercules were always flying, missing each other and barley got any time together. This was a moment to wake and reflect, Martin felt.

He and Hercules were different as different could be; but Hercules didn't mind his stuttering, how he was awkward in all social interactions. How he insisted he wasn't a horrible pilot even though Douglas proclaimed otherwise. Hercules was careful, gentle, loving. He gave Martin everything that Martin missed out on in life before Hercules.

He rolled over in those lofty arms and smiled at his sleeping lover.
They had the day to themselves. He wasn't needed at MJN, nor did he have any jobs on the side. Hercules wasn't scheduled to fly until tomorrow. He hummed lightly and snuggled into Hercules' side. The arms squeezed him a bit as Hercules came out of sleep.

He slightly groggy and didn't say anything. He yawned and stretched, all the while keeping Martin in his grasp. Martin smiled into the side of Hercules' neck.

"I love you," he whispered.

Hercules maneuvered so that he could kiss the top of Martin's head; "I declare my love to you for life, and the after life, my darling," Hercules replied.

Martin giggled. Hercules was one of those fish Martin didn't want to throw back into the sea

Martin's Dad can't pass into the afterworld...

[(Anonymous)]

because he has unfinished business to do with Martin.
He's dead. Deader than a door nail, or a coffin nail. Whatever.
And he is stuck between worlds until his "unfinished business" is taken care of.
He is directed by the person in purgatory (who over see's souls and where they go and stuff) to make it right with Martin.

So. Martin get's haunted by his Dad.
Eventually his Dad accepts that Martin's dream is to fly. Martin feels love from his Dad and acceptance. Which was all he ever wanted anyway.
The Dad passes into the after life once he accepts and loves Martin simply as his son.

Re: Martin's Dad can't pass into the afterworld...

Aw, this is wonderful, seconded. I love it.

Kind of Inspired by Game of Thrones (but not really a crossover)

[(Anonymous)]

I just watched all of season one and two of Game of Thrones in about four days, so I'm a bit GoT dazed and have all these random ideas bouncing around in my head. Only, I have quite a few WIPs that I really want to finish before I start anything new, so I thought I would prompt it instead.

There's a fantasy land, that runs exactly alongside our world, Normal Earth. Douglas, Carolyn, and Arthur are all Normal Earthians, living their normal lives. (It's up to filler if Normal Earth or whatever you would like to call it, knows about the existence of the Fantasy Land.)

Martin, however, is from a prominent family of the Fantasy Land, House Crieff. All members of the prominent families are shapeshifters, and so the emblem/sigil of each House is derived from the animal that the family members can shift into. House Crieff's sigil/emblem is the Eagle. For whatever reason though, Martin upsets his parents and they exile him to Normal Earth, and because of the rules/punishment/spells/etc., he isn't allowed to shapeshift anymore.

How does Martin adjust to life on Normal Earth (beyond his struggles to become a pilot and still live in the sky)? Do the other members of MJN Air find out, and if so, how do they react?

tl;dr Martin has been exiled from a fantasy land, and loses his ability to shapeshift into an eagle. How does he cope?

Could be gen, or pairings if you like. I particularly like Martin/Douglas, and Martin/Arthur if you go the pairing route.

okay, I swear I am going to finish my other stories now!

Re: Kind of Inspired by Game of Thrones (but not really a crossover)

[(Anonymous)]

This is a very interesting idea.
I wonder what big thing Martin did to get exiled though; it had to be serious for such a punishment.

Oh man, must resist filling!
I've got other WIP's I need to finish. lol.

Or would a mini fill be all right?

Inspired by an episode of Eerie Indiana

[(Anonymous)]

Martin gets given or buys himself some art supplies, but it turns out what he draws comes true.

So he draws himself a nice happy life where everything he's ever dreamed of has come true, thinking it'd be the best ever. Except it isn't.

Re: Inspired by an episode of Eerie Indiana

[citruspocket]

God, I loved that show.

And that would be just Martin’s luck. Seconded.

Biscuit Porn

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by Tiwtin's Biscuit Porn fill on the chatter post - BISCUIT PORN. Porn. With biscuits. Any pairing, any biscuit, just make it FUN.

Re: Biscuit Porn

[lunard136.livejournal.com]

Haven't have eaten a jammy-dodger all my life, I have no idea if you can separate the two halves to lick the insides like one would a Ultimate Fudge Chocolate from Dare (http://www.canadaonly.ca/products/Dare-Ultimate-Cookies.html) and I wasn't certain if those existed in the UK... But here's a quick comment-box fill!


Martin stood there, frozen. What Arthur was going was... 'Indecent' came to mind. He didn't move a muscle, afraid the other man would realised he wasn't alone anymore.

Arthur slowly licked the inside of one of the Jammy-dodger biscuits clean of the Jam, his eyes closed in concentration. He swirled his tongue around, following the shape of the biscuit, brought the jam to his mouth and licked his lips, a humming sound coming out of his throat.

The tongue came back to the cookie, the hardened tip giving fast, strong licks to get at the remaining jam before going through the little hole in the centre of the biscuit, turning the treat slowly around it, curving the extremity of the flexible muscle to lick at the outside of the biscuit.

Arthur brought his tongue back in, moaning again at the taste of jam, before breaking the biscuit in two with a sharp bite, making Martin wince. He must have made a sound because then Arthur turned to him.

"Oh! Hi skip! Care for a Jammy-dodger? They are really good! But you have to eat the jam, first! I could show you if you'd like. Skip? Skip... you've gone all red in the face, are you all right?"

Shower Sex (Douglas/Martin)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in the mood for some D/M shower sex. Anal sex, frottage or mutural wanking is fine with me. Just have them naked in the shower, orgasming while warm water runs all over their bodies.

It's My Detective Agency Now

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by Remington Steel.

AU.

Carolyn gets Grodon's detective agency in the divorce.
No one takes her seriously as a PI so she makes up a fake "boss" to make people take her seriously. However, she meets a con-man on the run who decides to take on the image of "boss, Mr. Richardson".

Long story short.

Carolyn = Laura Holt
Douglas Richardson = Remington Steele
Martin Crieff = Mildred
Arthur = whatever roll the filler wants.

bonus points if the romance is between Douglas and Martin, even though in the show it's between Remington and Laura. ;)

Re: It's My Detective Agency Now

[citruspocket]

This would be so much fun. Seconded.

JF's idea on football.

[lunard136.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you've seen it...

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6hy5ejfF81rnyf7zo1_1280.png

Can I have Arthur trying to explain this concept to someone? Or someone saying to Arthur that this is how football is played in (Country of you choice).

Re: JF's idea on football.

[(Anonymous)]

I *hadn't* seen this, but I LOVE it!! ::always mourned the fact that Quidditch games aren't broadcast on network TV--now that's what I call a sport!::

Douglas/Martin, tw for med-fet, catheter use, bondage

[(Anonymous)]

I'll leave it up to the filler how Douglas get's Martin into this situation.
But for reasons, Martin is tied to a bed, and Douglas is being all doctery with him. All the while Martin is gagged so he can't talk back. Douglas inserts a catheter. And stuff.

I don't know what else to add. Ummm...
I'm okay with a little Water sports, but nothing too heavy duty on that.
If Douglas inserts the catheter as part of a d/s game they are playing or to control Martin even more. That's fine.

No scat or drinking piss or anything like that.
And if it's slightly dub con with Dark!Douglas, that's cool too.
god knows we could use more dark!verse around here.

Re: Douglas/Martin, tw for med-fet, catheter use, bondage

[(Anonymous)]

Somehow this prompt is both detailed and vague at the same time. I have no idea what you want. Could you clarify, please?

Secretly BAMF!Carolyn

[truthwritaslies]

Carolyn knows she's never going to be nominated for mother of the year but no one who's ever been a real threat to her Arthur has ever been heard from again.

Now she has Martin to look after and he's got a long backlist of threats she's going to have to take care of.

*edit: Lost a bit somehow: Douglas can help. He's the "Daddy" to Carolyn's "Mummy". (And maybe there is job-well-done sex afterwards)

Re: Secretly BAMF!Carolyn

[(Anonymous)]

I love this prompt but I am confused.
Do you mean you want a Douglas/Carolyn pairing?

Martin takes lessons on how to assert himself

[(Anonymous)]

Ya know how Arthur went ti Ipswich to take lessons on how to understand people?
Well, Martin finds a class on how to assert himself. It's free!
So for weeks, when he isn't flying or moving things, he goes to this class.
Then, one day MJN is flying a ornery passenger. Martin is called upon to make said passenger to see reason.

And he asserts himself successfully.
Douglas finds this horribly, horribly sexy and that night in their shared hotel room. Douglas takes Martin to the moon because of it. ;)

Douglas/Martin. Just sex, no kink please if the story gets that far.
As it stands, anything a potential filler wants to do is fine by me.

Martin tries to top

[(Anonymous)]

Can be Arthur/Martin, Douglas/Martin or Herc/Martin

Martin is tired of always bottoming, even though the sex is awesome and he loves it.
So, sneakily, he tries to top his lover. Only, he bungles it up and ends up on the bottom anyway. Which he loves.

Luck + Martin are two words that don't belong in a sentence.

Re: Martin tries to top

[(Anonymous)]

Omg yes seconding

Carolyn h/c

[(Anonymous)]

Carolyn gets really ill, but her minions are off flying somewhere, which means she's alone.

Not that she minds. Not at all. Even if the kettle is all the way downstairs, and her thermostat doesn't seem to be making any difference in the temperature and she's run out of medicine... Alright, she clearly minds it a lot.

What happens when her miserable underlings come home?

Re: Carolyn h/c

[(Anonymous)]

Seconded! I don't know if I've ever seen sick!Carolyn whump or H/C!

Arthur as a cult leader

[(Anonymous)]

The last scene in 'Newcastle' always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Not just 'cos Arthur picks MJN over Caledonian, but that Herc, as a potential new father figure, has recognised something special in Arthur.

The prompt:
Carolyn and Herc have been spending more and more time together, which mean Herc and Arthur are spending more time together. Herc is still impressed by Arthur's attitude and outlook on life and mentions it to someone. Maybe his one of his ex-wives is a columnist or one of his brothers is a publIsher but who ever it is has the power to get Arthur started on the road to becoming a self help guru. Perhaps he gets his own advice column, which he can do between flights, or they help him publish his blog: 'Tossing your way to happiness' but Arthur is an instant hit. Celebrity and fame follow.

Arthur is still Arthur though and deals with the rabid fans, paparazzii and stalkers the same way he'd deal with passengers- and he absolutely refuses to give up being a steward.

Bonus points: If Arthur actually becomes a cult leader, but instead of being all creepy and sleazy he is the nicest cult leader ever. Getting his followers to shoo geese away from planes and giving Tobelerones to strangers.

As a side effect of Arthur's celebrity, everyone else's at MJN find there life improves and all there problems get solved. E.g. Everyone wants to fly on GERT-I and be served by Arthur so all Carolyns' money problems vanish.

Sorry, I know there are some spelling and grammar errors but it late and I'm typing on my phone.

Martin is stalked

[(Anonymous)]

ugh, I can't get away from all the story idea's for whump!Martin.

Martin is suddenly being stalked. Someone is paying his bills, sending him flowers and other gifts. They know what flight Martin is on and they send flowers to his hotel room.
But it soon turns scary when the stalker starts sending video of people who he has tortured and killed. Martin is his next victim.

What does Martin do? is he kidnapped by his crazy stalker?
Does he go to Douglas for help, or the police?
Does he die?
I'll leave all that up to filler. Just give me crazy stalker going after Martin and I shall be happy.

SEX IN PUBLIC!!! (tw for caps, and public sex)

[(Anonymous)]

Douglas/Martin or Arthur/Martin.

Before a flight Martin runs into his lover.
They have a quacking wherever they are. Hanger bay behind some crates, or in a broom closet (if its big enough) - Martin is usually a screamer in bed, so he has to be very quiet. ;)

Re: SEX IN PUBLIC!!! (tw for caps, and public sex)

[(Anonymous)]

Yes please :)

A quacking!

[(Anonymous)]

Arthur is ecstatic to learn that during sex, if the angle of thrust is just right, he can make Martin make duck noises!

Re: A quacking!

[(Anonymous)]

Lol. I love it. :)

Gerit gets highjacked

[(Anonymous)]

Gerti is highjacked.
An OC villain or Gordon...? it doesn't matter.
What does matter is that Martin saved the day and for a few seconds, despite his stuttering, he is BAMF!Martin.

queue sexy times with Douglas later on; mostly Douglas trying to distract Martin because suddenly Martin has a freak out when he realizes what he did and that he could have been *killed*.

Re: Gerit gets highjacked

[(Anonymous)]

lol, Gerit is highjacked. I think you meant "Gerti is hijacked".

Also "cue", not "queue". A queue is a line of people waiting for something.

I swear I've seen a similar prompt before. Probably last prompt post.

Martin/Herc

[generalbutton]

I don't know about everyone else, but Herc's voice drives me wild. How about he seduces Martin with his voice; sends him crazy drowning in that syrup, unf.

Can be established or not. Smut please? :D

Re: Martin/Herc

[(Anonymous)]

Seconded!
