bigglesevents | Cuddles4Biggles Prompting Fest

Welcome to our second prompting fest: Cuddles4Biggles or the Biggles Cuddlefest! This is based on Smut4Biggles and uses basically the same rules.

Rules:

* You may request any combination of characters, pairings, or gen. "Any" or "original" are perfectly fine too (e.g. "Erich von Stalhein & Any Biggles Team Member"). The only requirement is that cuddling, hugging, petting, or other physical contact must be suggested by the prompt or fill.

* Here is a suggested format for leaving your prompts (not required):

Warnings (if any):
Characters or pairing:
Prompt:
Do not want:
Gift to me on AO3? (Y/N)

[The last line is new and completely optional, but if you don't want to be given AO3 gifts for a particular prompt, you may indicate it. I'm adding this because I've seen some promptmemes that had this, and personally enjoy having the option. Also, some people just don't have gifting turned on in general.]

* You can also use the DW subject line if you like, e.g. "Biggles/Algy, snuggling for warmth". Not required, but helpful.

* To fill a prompt, reply to it in a comment with your fill or a link to the fill elsewhere. You can post it anywhere: your DW, AO3, Tumblr, etc. There is no minimum or maximum fill length, from a sentence to full-length fic is fine.

* Anonymous prompts and fills are fine.

* You may also fill your own prompts.

* Please do not gift anyone an unrequested pairing. If your fic ends up changing as you're writing it to be about a different pairing, or include other pairings, it's perfectly fine to post it on AO3 without gifting it to anyone and simply credit the original prompt as inspiration! You can also use the details of your prompt to let people know that you are okay with other pairings than the one(s) you're asking for.

* Feel free to comment on other people's prompts! "Ooh that's nice" or questions for clarification are perfectly fine.

* IMPORTANT: Please warn in the subject line or first line of the fill/prompt for the following: Noncon (i.e. rape), Dubcon (i.e. sex pollen, drugged but consensual sex), Character Death, Underage, Self-harm. Other warnings may be added at your discretion. **Please let the mod (me!) know if you need a warning added. Please also note that once a comment is replied to it cannot be edited, so replying to a comment to ask for a warning means it must be reposted.**

The following content is not permitted in this fest: Nazi RPF or kinking on Nazi symbols or paraphernalia; fills that contain recipients' DNWs; slurs that are considered offensive in the present day. Mods may delete or screen comments that break the rules or contain other offensive content not covered above.

I will add a fills post when we have some fills!

Gift to me on AO3? (Y/N) Yes if you like

Nggght, I love this prompt!

Biggles strode into the Air Police operational office with his mouth open to speak, started to say Algy's name, and then stopped, mouth still half open.

"Do not," Algy said between his teeth, "say a word."

He was sitting on the ragged sofa in one corner of the office. The old sofa was a fixture of the office, drawn out of the way of the desks, where it had provided a soft, if badly sprung, place to nap for more than one tired member of the SAP over the years.

At the moment, it was giving Algy a place to sit, and von Stalhein a place to sleep — slumped on Algy's shoulder.

They'd all had a very long day, in pouring rain, and all of them had been drooping and stumbling with exhaustion when they returned to the SAP office at the aerodrome late that evening. Biggles had seen Ginger and Bertie off first, both of them limping from minor injuries. Algy, for his part, was unhurt, just wet and muddy.

Von Stalhein had said he was completely fine, repeated it several times, in fact, even though Biggles had seen him knocked about and nearly run over by the smugglers they were apprehending. Having him out in the field with the team, in this case to provide translation services, was still a minor miracle that Biggles had not quite adjusted to yet.

Now he gazed at the image in front of him. Algy had one of the scratchy old wool blankets that they kept in the office (for just such occasions as this) wrapped around his shoulders, his hands clutching a heavy old pottery mug of coffee. Von Stalhein had another, similar gray blanket draped over his lap. There was an untouched cup on the spare desk at his end of the couch — well, what had been his end, until he had fallen asleep tilting onto Algy.

"If you might consider providing some assistance," Algy said, low. Still, Biggles couldn't help noticing that he wasn't moving at all, even though his position looked uncomfortable, one elbow on the arm of the sofa and the other resting on his knees.

"Of course," Biggles said quietly. He slipped into the room, straight to Ginger's desk, where Ginger's old box camera sat among a clutter of paperwork, magazines, and stained mugs.

"Do not," Algy said grimly. "Don't—Bigglesworth—don't you dare—I know where you sleep—!"

But he kept his voice low, even as Biggles took his hand off the camera, smiling.

"Would you care for a relief shift, Flying-Officer Lacey?"

"Oh God yes, you have no idea how happy that would make me."

"Of course, if you'd rather have some quiet time to—"

"Biggles," Algy said, teeth almost audibly grinding.

Biggles decided it was a bad idea to wind him up any more, he'd already been a good sport about the entire thing, and slid onto the creaky springs of the sofa in the space between the armrest and von Stalhein's narrow hips. "Erich," he murmured, and putting a light hand on von Stalhein's shoulder, gently moved him a little.

Von Stalhein came awake with a jolt, and Algy, with a swift motion that put Biggles in mind of their long-ago boyish days, ducked out from under the burden and stood up. Von Stalhein blinked, squinting as if the lights in the room were too bright. He raised a hand to his forehead. "I—apologize, I—where am I? Ah," he added, with dazed comprehension, as Biggles steered him carefully to a more or less upright position.

"I think it's time to go home and sleep, for all of us," Biggles said. He kept a hand on von Stalhein's shoulder, steadying him as he swayed in the grip of nearly intractable exhaustion.

"Tell me about it," Algy said loudly, and took his mug off to the kitchenette.

Algy is, as ever, the real star of the show! Like Biggles, I was transfixed by the image of Algy sitting down for a break on the sofa and Erich ending up sound asleep on his shoulder, yes, of course they would wind up like that, and Algy would cope even with gritted teeth. Biggles teasing him with the camera but then offering to relieve him is utterly delightful. And I'm sure Biggles will fuss over Erich a bit before they all crash in bed <333

This is just perfect, thank you!

Ahahahaha!

then stopped, mouth still half open.
"Do not," Algy said between his teeth, "say a word."

AMAZING. I can even believe it would happen to them, because Algy is such a softie that he wouldn't actually move despite really really wishing he could.

Biggles definitely should have taken that picture. Algy would have taken that picture in his place, but Biggles is just happy to see them XD

And then Biggles, craving to be a little slept-on, offers himself as a willing sacrifice :D

Adorable!!
