Thursday takes us to The Streets

Good late morning lovelies! I remain untldeathtakeme and I am occasionally late, as I am today, sorry! Today's theme for prompts is The Street - physical or metaphorical. Let's prompt about the rough streets, concrete city streets and the Life that happens on them, and anything else you can dream of!

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...

+ Any, Any+/Any, the color of streetlights and shop lights reflecting colors on dark puddles on darkened pavement.

+ bbc Sherlock or Doctor Who, Any+/Any, AU where Person A is the Tough Street Kid and Person B is someone in a position to help, but Person A is stubborn.

+Marvel Cinematic Universe, Steve Rogers+/Any,

Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're going to get back on your feet
(And you can't stop now)
(The Killers)

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.

Any, any,

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?

Any, any, If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well. (Martin Luther King Jr. )

FILL
Zayn walked the dark, empty streets of her neighborhood, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She hated when she and Harry argued. Especially when it was her fault.

She shouldn’t be jealous; she knew she shouldn’t. Harry had always been faithful to her, in spite of all the beautiful women (and more than a few attractive men) who fawned over him at any given social function.

Harry smiled, gave hugs, posed for pictures, but he always came home to Zayn.

So, why had she flipped out over those tabloid pictures of him talking to an old flame at that trendy restaurant?

Zayn hiccuped as she struggled to stop crying.

She’d made some awful accusations; ones she only half-believed herself. She wondered now what she’d hoped to achieve.

She could be warm inside their flat, in Harry’s arms, but instead she was freezing on the cold, damp street, alone.

Zayn wasn’t sure what she should do next, until she came upon the local convenience store.

She roughly wiped the tears from her face and blew her nose in a tissue she found crumpled in her jacket pocket. It was time for a little self-soothing.

Once inside, Zayn headed straight for frozen foods, then stopped short when she saw Harry leaning against the door of one of the freezers.

“I thought you’d end up here.” He said, and held up a container of ice cream and two plastic spoons.

Zayn walked over to him. She fiddled with the hem of her coat as she met his eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

“I don’t want to fight anymore.”

“Me either.”

“So, let’s go home and make up, okay? We can watch a rom-com and eat some mint chocolate chip.”

“Sounds good,” Zayn said with a small smile. “Except…”

“Except?”

“There’s two spoons, but only one ice cream.”

Harry laughed as he pulled open the freezer door.
