I thought of another one! There's this quote in the 1978 Robin Hood cartoon that I just adore and always makes me think of AU ideas for my current OTP. (quote grabbed from IMDB here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070608/quotes/qt0454782 )
For context, Robin Hood and Little John are talking as they're cooking dinner (which Robin manages to burn spectacularly while think of Marian, hence the comment about mooning and moping) and the quote goes:
Little John: Look, why don't you stop moonin' and mopin' around? - Just - Just marry the girl.
Robin Hood: Marry her? You don't just walk up to a girl, hand her a bouquet and say, "Hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?" No. It just isn't done that way.

The prompt is the "Hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?" part, or even just the idea of it. If whoever uses this prompt can't work the quote in, no big deal.

(I mean I guess there could also be a Robin Hood!AU in there, or using more of the quote, but I was imagining it as basically canon but with them having spent time together as kids and having fallen in love as kids either without realizing it or without saying it and then coming together again as they do in canon)
