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...
+ The Dresden Files, Harry Dresden+/Any, lying on your back at night somewhere safe and watching the stars.
+ Doctor Who, Any Doctor+Any,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory (T.S.Eliot)
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark/Stephen Strange or Tony Stark/Any,
Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
So, tell me how long
Before the last one?
And tell me how long
Before the right one? (The Smiths)
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.

However for Sam Winchester it doesn’t seem to be a good nights rest, Castiel being able to sense the pain coming from the other mans dreams as nightmares filled his closed eyelids. He watches as the younger Winchester turns in his single bed, moans and groans in the dead silence of the night, fills the all too dark motel room. Castiel can just about make Sam’s scrunched up face in clear pain, as the street light from outside the window gives a dim enough light into the room through a small gap in the curtains.
He moves a hand to place two fingers on Sam’s forehead, watching as his lover now laid still and peacefully, the sharp painful lines of discomfort slowly fading from his face. Castiel leans down then, pressing his lips to Sam’s forehead as he gives him a kiss.
“Sleep well, Sam."
The angel whispers before there is another flutter of wings and he leaves Sam to a peaceful dream, a childhood fake memory of him and Dean when they where young, as they fly a kite, smiles and laughter on both Winchester’s faces. It’s a made up scene that Castiel had thought Sam would prefer instead of the nightmare he had been having. A childhood memory Castiel wished both brothers could have actually had growing up, in reality to the ones they did have.
