Fluff, Relationships, and Traditions
Sep. 22nd, 2013 07:54 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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:
- character(s) and/or canon/fandom
- 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:

And Storm being back, gotta love him making an appearance.
She's having a lot of fun teasing him. :)

Date: 2013-09-30 09:10 pm (UTC)Though remember when I had a hard time finding fluff for Storm in the first place? He's had a hard life. He actually meant it when he said it's sometimes better not to remember. He considered the Department an improvement over his childhood.
Additionally, I don't know who he might end up with, so I skip him on most romantic prompts. I know he's dated, but I don't think he really trusts himself with girls like that.
Minder is being almost OOC with her having fun with him, but not really. She doesn't get to have fun so often, so she takes huge advantage when she does.

Date: 2013-09-30 09:14 pm (UTC)It can be better not to remember, but ouch for him with that being an improvement.
He is an interesting one, and I wouldn't mind seeing him in a romantic relationship, but it's hard sometimes to find one.
One needs to find the good when they can. Or so Franklin said.
