Things/times/places prompts
Idea borrowed from munditia:
If you name a prompt and a female character from one of my fandoms (please see below), I'll try to write one-sentence-style comment fic for them.
Please put prompts in "character, prompt word, rating" format and indicate if you want only gen or anything goes.

She's slightly alarmed when Kate says it's "kind of important" that Elizabeth stop by her quarters this evening. Kate's only just returned from rehab on Earth after her injuries and Elizabeth worries that there's something about her recovery Kate hadn't mentioned.
When she arrives, though, Elizabeth finds Kate sitting with Teyla, Miko, Laura and a few of the other women from the medical staff. And they're all grinning at her conspiratorially.
Without further explanation, Kate shoves a piece of chocolate at her. "Taste this."
Elizabeth wonders if some sort of alien influence might be at work. On the other hand, chocolate. She bites off a piece. Laura turns to ask Teyla something while Elizabeth eats. At first she just chews, but as the chocolate melts onto her tongue, her eyes widen. Her heart speeds up a little and she can almost feel the endorphin buzz start to cascade through her system ( ... )

It depends on who's in charge of their supply lines... Gen. O'Neill could be convinced. ;]

Then she realizes there is a way to put her unique stamp onto the outfit without interfering with tradition.
The engraving and painting process is time-consuming but the results are worth it. The graceful feathers arc across the individual blades, not visible in their complete beauty unless the fan is fully extended, exactly like the feathers of the dangerous tiger birds of the Fire Nation.

So their first meeting wasn't auspicious. He was holding a gun on her friend and the planet's sunlight was hurting them all and the Wraith could've shown up at any moment. Janet never blinked, of course. She got the transmitter out like it was nothing.
Then everything was new and strange and he spent a lot of nights running or walking through the city alone, trying to get the fear and the impulse to run out of his system.
His nocturnal trips often ended near the infirmary. She wasn't always there, but some nights she was still up, watching over a patient or working on paperwork.
He'd sit. They'd talk - well, she would talk, about her daughter, her home, her friends. Sometimes he'd tell her little things about Sateda, or Pegasus. They talked about missions, about the expedition members. Gossiped, even, though he didn't want to call it that.
Then one night, as he got up to go, she shot him a smile, one that made his skin tingle and his stomach lurch unexpectedly. "You can come talk to me during the day sometime, you

Great job! :)

She's not afraid. She's not angry, or anxious. This is a different sensation than Katara in those moods. She's actually nervous now.
It's kind of mind-boggling. Katara's a master waterbender already, she's traveled the world with the Avatar, fought battles and faced down the prince of the Fire Nation, and here she's nervous about sneaking into a fancy party.
She almost says something, because it's kind of funny. But it also makes Katara suddenly human, rather than the bossy older sister Toph never really wanted and sometimes could live without. And it reminds her Katara's really not that much older than her.
They're almost to the front of the line anyway, so Toph shrugs it off and fingers the token with her family's crest on it, and concentrates on the people around them, just in case the guards chuck them out of the line, or worse.

It would be easier to make this decision if she could get the damn song out of her head. If she could consider the pros and cons (not write them down; she's not Rory) she could maybe figure out what to do about this job offer.
Right. Think. On the one hand, Europe. On the other, not Stars Hollow. Friday night dinner versus... okay no down side there. Fine dining versus Sookie's pancakes. Cathedrals and palaces and gardens versus her newly renovated house and her new bed with the heated mattress pad for winter...
The song comes back, though, constantly intruding, a relentless invasion into her mind. There's only one thing to do with an earworm this bad. She hits speed dial on her cell phone. Unfortunately she gets Rory's voice mail, but that doesn't stop her from singing.
"You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and then you have The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life..."

I really like the mix of light and serious.
