Davy feels guilty for not getting them a gig. Prompt: NIGHTMARES | Breakfast Table | “I'm haunted by the lies that I have loved, the actions I have hated.”

Yeah. I not-so-suddenly had an interesting Davy headcannon for how he gets the Monkees some of their gigs. (Tbh, this doesn’t feel all that out of the realm of cannon for this show, and I dunno how to feel about that lol.) This is about the TV characters only, which is probably pretty obvious from the plot and context but still, thought I should mention that. XD Content Warnings: All but directly stated (except for here, where it is) sexual and romantic contact in exchange for favors/jobs (and hesitancy about it), struggling to make ends meet when it comes to food and jobs, difficulties with eating, misplaced guilt, lies, almost crying Words: 2,844

The Monkees are in a bit of a tight spot, at their last gig, Micky's kick drum went boom, and not in a good way. Prompt piece used: Multiple Whumpees

I didn’t have time to write my original prompt for this day so I just took the “Multiple Whumpees” part and wrote whatever came to mind. This isn’t really based on a specific episode? It’s KINDA inspired by that one where they go on the children’s show and get humiliated repeatedly but isn't actually set there. It could be after anything that includes the breaking of Micky’s drum set, which is multiple episodes unfortunately. (All of them are getting whumped trust me, it’s just that Micky is the focus.) Also it’s kinda bad sorry. :( Content Warnings: Nervousness, mentioned struggles with living/getting money, instrument damage (trust me) Words: 1,255

Mike, Peter and Micky get a bit tied up. Oh, yeah, and there are some guns too. (Episode: S1Ep4, Your Friendly Neighborhood Kidnappers) Prompt pieces used: SET UP FOR FAILURE | "I warned you."

This was my first time trying to write these guys (SORRY), and at the point of writing I had only watched about six episodes. Sorry for any mistakes. Title is a direct quote from the episode this was inspired by. I don’t know why this turned out so long (for a whumptober fic of mine) I guess I just really wanted to write it. I also wanted to add more but I ran out of time before I could figure out what. :( Words: 4,269 Content Warnings: Swearing, kidnapping, being held at gunpoint, being tied up, hair pulling, very purposeful aspects of non consensual stuff (no assault of that nature actually takes place, but please do be careful, the layering of all the fears was very important to me while writing this) (Btw, this was inspired specifically by this dialogue in the episode because I went insane when I first heard it: MIKE: Hey, no, man, I’m sorry. A kidnapping is— NICK TRUMP: Contest rules. Rules! MIKE: Well, man, I don’t know. NICK TRUMP: Look, I’ll tell you what to do. Think it over. MIKE: Um, a kidnapping, man. NICK TRUMP: I promise, if this doesn’t work, we forget the whole thing. Talk it over. Go ahead, go, go. Discuss it.”
