Prompt-and-Fill session #5 -- Hangin' Around
Happy February all, and welcome back to another fun-filled edition of the prompt-and-fill monthly feature here at roundtable.
Each month, we are happy to pay homage to the brilliant creative devise in fandom known as the commentfic meme. Here, will throw down a theme designed to span both SPN & RPF genres. We will then ask you, the participant, to prompt your fellow writers & artists with ideas, au tropes, lines of song/verse, a line of dialogue, word banks, some scene you are dying to read, etc.
After you've prompted, fill someone else's prompt! The idea is to stretch your mind as far as you need; to feel free to respond with any idea at all. It's a way to jog your creativity, to keep its action clicking in some small way.
Responses are completely open, so think wide broad and deep: a sentence, drabble, paragraph, 5k, fanmix, vid, painting, photo edit, macro, manip, icon set, stick figure comic, ms paint drawing, dialogue exchange, haiku, limerick, etc. would not be out of place here!
Previous challenges:
Prompt-and-fill #1: Truth & Lies.
Prompt-and-fill #2: 'Tis the Season!
Prompt-and-fill #3: On Our Way Home.
Prompt-and-fill #4: Happily Ever After.
Session #5: "Hangin' Around"

Downtime. Boredom. Procrastinating. Waiting, stalling, breathers, being in transit. There are hundreds of in-between moments for these boys where nothing and everything happens: between jobs, between shots, trying to fall asleep, trying to sleep in, midnight stakeouts, driving for hours, waiting for planes, waiting for witnesses, waiting for food to come, etc.
Spending so much time with that one other person, sometimes all you can do is stare at each other. And that's where relationships are made. Sometimes when you love someone, you realize it's all those connecting moments nestled in between that make it, rather than the flashes of activity and purpose.
Do they entertain each other or annoy each other? Drive each other up the walls, or save each others' sanity? Have anything in common, or nothing? What do they notice about each other that no one else would see? What's missing when one has a quiet moment away, without the other to help fill it?
Now, prompt! And then fill! Multiple fills on the same prompt are welcomed!
The fills so far!
