Fluff, Relationships, and Traditions

[scribblemyname]

This entry is part 52 of 52 in the series 365 Challenge

So characters have habits, ways they interact with certain people and situations, things they do and like to do, stories and histories together. I've known a lot of my characters' for a long time but getting them all into fic is interesting, particularly for the ones I don't know that for.

I've got about five novelettes I want to turn out plus a short story, created out of the 5 Things Meme and then the whole Pieter/Ashen dynamic that originally played in my head before I even wrote that first Ashen drabble (and it is awesome to me, but got sidelined drastically with a deluge of other prompts), but, but, but...

I'm on day 265 of my challenge and story count 157 and I'm still plying angles and there's all those little things above that I'm itching to nibble at. Want to help a girl out?

Particularly of interest to me are things like where does Wesley work (not sure actually), and then relationship things that I haven't gotten to like how Justus always recognizes Shift regardless of her current form or demeanor, friendships, sibling relationships, Ilsa and her husband, etc.

Calling for prompts, as promised:

1. character(s) and/or canon/fandom
2. random word, quote, or other prompt

Oh, and I'll try to keep it short and fluffy or sweet. Try is the operative word. :grins:

Re: Kingdoms and Thorn Ficlet: Tell Me in the Morning

And I think I gave him the wrong name too. I try not to overlap their handles even though overlap is only realistic, but it was supposed to be Shelter, if I recall correctly. Same idea, but Refuge was already taken. :shrugs: We'll see.

Yeah, I knew I'd have to pry it out of her, but she resisted, then Storm let it go and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor and tell them, I shall get it out of you! Characters don't always cooperate, you know.

Well, he is Shelter, too.

It does make sense that they'd have overlapping names on different teams, since they gave them for the roles they were at the time.

Yeah, that has to come out. He didn't let it go forever, just for the night, but still...

Characters cooperate? What is this mythical thing you speak of? This happens?

:giggles: It's not TOTALLY mythical. :keeps giggling:

Sometimes it just feels like it is. :P
