The Bedtime Meme

In the great green room, there is a telephone and a red balloon, and a picture of
The cow jumping over the moon,
And there were three little bears sitting on chairs,
And two little kittens and a pair of mittens,
And a little toyhouse and a toy mouse,
And a comb and a brush and bowl full of mush,
And a quiet old lady who was whispering "hush".

WHAT TO DO:

1. Post with your character--name, fandom and any particular preferences go in the subject line as usual.

2. You can either roll or pick a scenario (or scenarios!) from the list or leave your comment blank.

3. Reply to people!

4. Have fun and be mindful of your partner's preferences--while this is not inherently a smut meme, it could definitely turn that way.

OPTIONS:

1. Washing up for Bed: You and your partner have had a long day, and now it's time to wash it all off. Don't forget to scrub behind your ears!

2. Bedtime Story: Some people just can't get to sleep without some sort of story. It can be a familiar book, or even a story of your partner's life.

3. Warm Milk and Cookies (or Chamomile Tea): A warm drink and a few cookies in the belly are just what some people need to relax before bed.

4. Pajamas: What (if anything) you wear to bed says a lot about your personality. Dressed to impress or totally relaxed?

5. Lullaby: Philomel with melody or rock-a-bye baby? Either way, you're looking to lull your partner into a restful sleep with the sound of your voice.

6. Goodnight Kiss: Nothing says 'sweet dreams' like a chaste (...or not so chaste...) kiss at bedtime.

7. Comfort Object: Whether it's a nightlight, a teddy bear or an old blankie, bedtime's not happening unless the comfort object is in the room.

8. Cuddles Forever: The ultimate in fluffy warm coziness before falling asleep.

9. Reluctant Sleeper: Your blankets are itchy. The room's too hot. You want another story. Whatever the reason, you're not ready to settle in and go to bed.

10. Wildcard!: I know I forgot something, so here's your wildcard for whatever else you can fit into this meme, and any mix-and-matching you want to do

Jamie fell asleep on the couch.

He didn't mean to, he'd been watching something while Coda worked. He doesn't really know how long he was out, either, but when he wakes up, Coda is... still in the exact same position. Jamie rubs his hair as he sits up, then slips off the couch. He leans against Coda's back and wraps his arms around them, not even looking at the screen.

"It's late," he murmurs. "Let's go to bed."

( Good with modern if needed. #7 doesn't really apply to her, but open to the rest! )

[ Maeve stands up with an exasperated sigh and puts her hand on her hip, the apartment around her is completely trashed; tables upside down, couch cushions zipped open and torn apart, food from the cupboards all over the floor ]

Homelander, I swear I've literally turned this place upside down. I can't find it.

[nothing smut please]

[All prompts.]

"Personally, it's not worth it without the marshmallows." Leonard leaned back against the counter while he waited for the milk to get hot, watching it since watched pots never boiled and he didn't want it to boil. Just hot enough for hot cocoa. "You want cocoa too?"

He was willing to share, as long as there were enough marshmallows for them both.
