Fragments
By Berry's Ambitions
A/N: My 50th story! I can't believe how much I've posted on here during the past five years, and the fact I'm only just beginning! I was hoping to do something special or symbolic, and this is the result. My best friend Elena adores this pairing as much as I do and I really wanted to do something nice for her, so here it be. :D Besides, I've been wanting to write a Sulley/Randall for a while because I think they're a really interesting and underappreciated pair.
The prompts featured here are mixture of random words I asked a friend to give me and a word generator online. Not every prompt connects to the other ones, and some have AU elements. There are some sexual themes and references to mpreg, just to warn anyone who's squicked out by that kind of thing. Anyway, enjoy and feel free to leave feedback! :)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Monsters Inc or Monsters University.
1) Pickles
Every night for nine months, Sulley finds him hovering around the fridge with the jar in his hand.
2) Garbage
Randall doesn't know how his boyfriend can stand the bane of Monstropolis that is Taco Bell, let alone eat it.
3) Socks
Randall's feet get cold from dangling out of the bed, so Sulley decides to rummage through the drawers to see if he can help.
4) Jock
The minute Randy laid eyes on Jimmy Sullivan, he promised himself that he'd spend the next four years going out of his way to avoid him.
5) Cross
Sometimes Randall tells him stories about the human world - of a higher power and the symbols He presents.
6) Cheese
For their fifth date, they look in the newspapers for the movie with the worst reviews to laugh at together.
7) Vent
When Johnny Worthington became too much to bear, Randy knocked on Sullivan's door.
8) Paper
Sulley goes through with trying to write the apology letter to Randall and by morning, Mike labels him a tree-killer.
9) Window
Now staring at the world through the bars of his prison cell, Randall wonders if Sullivan ever once felt remorse for putting him there.
10) Binder
After deeming his homework lost forever, Randy discovered it waiting on his bed with a sticky note attached.
11) Insect
Randall watched in disbelief as Sullivan scooped the bug off the Scare Floor, carrying it outside to safety.
12) Teeth
"I like it rough," Randall shrugs by way of explanation, pinning Sulley's arms to the bed as Randall straddles him.
13) Titan
It takes approximately two hours to move Randall's imported couch from the truck to the top floor of the apartment, where Sulley lives.
14) Smile
Observing Sulley as he attempts to push the cellphone's tiny buttons, the corners of Randall's lips twitch upwards almost involuntarily.
15) Glass
Sulley winces at the large cut on Randall's palm, promising that he'll double-check the next time they clean up broken dishes.
16) Steel
Randall searched Waternoose's eyes for any sign of pride after Sullivan's banishment, becoming crestfallen when he recognized all-too-familiar resentment there instead.
17) Screen
"Since when was that barrier on our door?" Randall yells, glowering at Sulley as his boyfriend hands him an icepack.
18) Phone
Sulley requests Randall to move in with him after receiving the long-distance bill at the end of the month.
19) Metal
Randy pulled the pillow over his head, cursing Sullivan's awful music taste to the bowels of hell.
20) Emotion
Looking into the eyes of his former enemy, Sulley wonders if there's a word for how he's feeling.
21) Shadows
Randall refuses to sleep with the door closed, explaining to Sulley how the swamp didn't allow any light in.
22) Spiders
After being jarred back to the waking world by Randall's petrified shriek, Sulley sighs and reaches for the rolled-up magazine on the night stand.
23) Life
They stare in awe at the sonogram, trying to process the fact that this tiny creature's existence depends on them alone.
24) Horse
Sulley encourages the hesitant Randall to step forward where the friendly creature is waiting.
25) Plastic
"Look," Sulley pleads into the receiver, trying to be heard over Randall's fury, "I didn't know I had to take the cover off the turkey before I put it in the oven!"
26) Super
Being the (former) Top Scarers has nothing on the fact they are their daughter's heroes.
27) Battery
Listening to the storm rumble on outside, Sulley pulls Randall closer to him beneath the blanket, relieved that the old lantern he'd purchased at a garage sale had come in handy.
28) Candy
Following Randy's inquiry about how the bubblegum tastes, Sullivan proved himself to be very generous - and forward - with his response.
29) Tune
When Sulley wakes up, he hears him singing in the shower.
30) Ailing
Sulley doesn't know the first thing about taking temperatures, but for Randall's sake he'll certainly try.
31) Accelerando
He laughs quietly as the other monster's body reacts to his touches, spasming and trembling in the most delightful of ways.
32) Highjack
"You gave Wazowski the password to the Wi-Fi again, didn't you?"
33) Senses
Sulley hates the taste of coffee, but enjoys kissing Randall so much in the morning that he's developed a tolerance of it.
34) Proposal
He asks him to marry him one morning while they're laying about in bed, their favourite place to be - which somehow manages to be more romantic without fireworks or diamond rings being involved.
35) Castle Walls
Sulley was the first person to see through Randall's bitter defensive mechanism and the raw pain it veiled.
36) False
Peering down at the test in the toilet, Randall isn't sure if he should feel relieved or disappointed.
37) Wilt
"Mike, I don't want to give him flowers, because flowers die."
38) Tantalizer
Randall swats at the furry hand with a wooden spoon, reminding Sulley that the cupcakes will be ready when they're ready.
39) Frizz
Randall takes one look at Sulley one rainy day while waiting for the bus and collapses to the sidewalk with laughter.
40) Haunted
For exactly three months following Randall's banishment, Sulley suffered from an inexplicable case of insomnia.
41) Conservation
"Randall, I'm pretty sure we waste more water when we shower together."
42) Crossbow
Randy doubts the bullies will harrass him any more after some self-defense tips from Sullivan.
43) Jury
Sitting in the back row of the courtroom as Randall faces charges for his crimes against him, Sulley fights the urge to be sick to his stomach.

Sulley shushes Abby as she cries, holding his baby daughter close to his chest.

"I can't believe you bought two percent milk instead of one percent!"
47) Midnight
They should have really been asleep hours ago, but fate (and pure hormonal impulse) had other plans.
48) Behavioural

49) Dissenting
Sulley watches the news report with a sinking heart, feeling like the slander against Randall is the fault of himself.
