A/N: We started this collab hell knows when, but it took me ages to do my part. I’m still uncertain about a few things, but to hell with it. Here goes. ;)
1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of 15 words or less more for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.
1. Gretchen Morgan
2. Lincoln Burrows
3. Paul Kellerman
4. Sara Tancredi
5. Alex Mahone
6. T-Bag
7. LJ Burrows
8. Brad Bellick
9. Fernando Sucre
10. Michael Scofield
First time 4 & 6 (Sara Tancredi & T-Bag)
The first time he sets his eyes on the pretty doc, it ain’t nothin’ much. They all fantasize to while away the sleepless hours. The first time he looks at her as Scofield’s girl - now that’s something entirely different. He’s got more bones to pick with Pretty than there are in her body. It doesn’t occur to him that this piece might just be a little too big even for ol’ Teddy to swallow.
Angst 7 (LJ Burrows)
He might be too used to looking over his shoulder, caught in between pathetic endeavours to attract attention and failing attempts to avoid it. What he does now is trying to live a normal life, be lazy, break promises - because that’s what normal people do. He is tired of being one of those who cannot afford this luxury.
AU 1 & 8 (Gretchen Morgan & Brad Bellick)
Suppose in another life he could have been a Company agent. Suppose she would have shown up at the NA meeting once or twice, all vulnerable and available. Maybe then-? Yeah, right. Along with a lifeguard class muscles, a beach tan and a life that made sense.
Threesome 3, 6 & 9 (Paul Kellerman, T-Bag, Fernando Sucre)
Paul wonders sometimes if things would have turned out differently if the Scofield/Burrows duo hadn’t torpedoed his entire life. Suppose he had been given another assignment. Sucre would have been easy to catch up with, irrational and blinded by his feelings for the girlfriend as he was. (Michael never did play by the rules, even when in love.) Bagwell would have been a pleasure to put down, a dirty, rabid dog just begging for it. (Burrows could be pretty dense, and Paul had no respect for dumb people, but he was never an animal.)
Perhaps life would have been easier. But it would have made a lot less sense. Easy things always do.
Hurt/comfort 5 & 10 (Alex Mahone & Michael Scofield)
When they learn about Cameron’s death, Lincoln backpedals from his revenge plans for a moment and offers Alex his help. Michael says nothing. Alex understands.
When they learn about Michael’s tumour, Lincoln is worried sick, Sara is being rational and Alex deliberately avoids asking if Michael is okay. Michael understands.
Crack fic 1 (Gretchen Morgan)
To get the sixth card, Gretchen had a plan. The schoolgirl attire fit her perfectly, stirring up all kinds of memories, good and bad. Now, if only Bagwell hadn’t scrapped her rendition of Baby One More Time…
Horror 10 (Michael)
He hears the gunshot and he barks out Linc’s name, perfectly unable to do anything to help him; but the scariest thing is that he understands the mechanics of the torture, and views it as something neutrally natural because, just as Christina says, he can see the bigger picture.
Baby fic 5 & 9 (Alex Mahone & Fernando Sucre)
Sometimes Sucre texts Alex in the middle of the night because he panics and because Maricruz has been on her own long enough, so now it’s his duty to perform all the Daddy and all the Mommy things at once, and because people like Linc or C-Note had not exactly been doing a bang-up job as fathers in their own time. Alex refrains from reminding him that he was hardly running for Number One Dad as well, and just spares whatever piece of advice he has.
Dark 2 & 8 (Lincoln Burrows & Brad Bellick)
It starts in a tunnel under Fox River where they leave him alone in the dark. It ends in a tunnel underneath GATE where, once again in the dark, he dies. The difference is, he is not alone anymore. Lincoln’s voice hits him just as water washes away all the fears, all the insecurities, all the wasted dreams of Brad Bellick.
Death fic 2 & 3 (Lincoln Burrows & Paul Kellerman)
It makes sense that Kellerman dies years later, shot in public with an assassin’s rifle. The country mourns him as a hero. Lincoln shuts his eyes for a moment to acknowledge, half-grudgingly, another one down.
