Down to the Wire

[scribblemyname]

I need to write a ficlet of 369+ words before the end of the month to reach my monthly word count. Or 4 drabbles.

Due to clock ticking pressure, I am suddenly devoid of non-epic ideas, even for the prompts I got.

Any quick 1K or less requests? Please?

ETA: You are all awesome! Thank you! I hit my word count and can work on long fic and betas again with a clean conscience.

Any particular kind of prompts required?

[scribblemyname]

Small in scope! Write and finish by end of tomorrow.

Okay, off the top of my head have a bunch of prompts (because I can always prompt lol):



"Courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow" - quote approximated from Mary Anne Radmacher according to google

it never rains but it pours

Douglas Adams: 'I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.' Dare you to interpret in the context of SHIELD, or any other beauracratic agency.

Just read this post about Steve's fighting style being similiar to Peggy's because she taught him, and she taught him to fight as a small opponent. What might Clint and Natasha's fighting styles have picked up from each other? Or any other mix of people who spar/train together?

the best laid plans...

banned books weeks/the idea of books being banned

hair care products (and the misuse of)

a character with an uncoventional career (and career history) contemplates what their CV might look like, or attempts to write a CV. (Possibly for amusement purposes. Or for something amusings-sweet ie Clint 'applies' to be Natasha's parntner in SHIELD. CV submitted to Natasha or Fury or...?)


Any use/need any more?

MCU Fill: On the Appropriate and Inappropriate Uses for Hair Care Products

[scribblemyname]

"Clint." Natasha was giving him that look again that was all in her eyes, the longsuffering one that said she was disappointed in her attempts to civilize him. She plucked the bottle out of his hands and said firmly, "Hand and body lotion is not a hair care product."

He leaned back and sighed, not bothering to tell her it had served him fine as conditioner for years and saved the expense of buying both.

"And hair spray—"

He winced at the bite in her voice. Here she had a valid complaint.

"My hair spray is not to be used to kill spiders."

"It's powerful stuff," he said with as serious an expression as he could muster.

Natasha glared at him. "Use your boot."

Bwhahaha :D Well that was a lovely piece of amusement to kickstart my day. Oh you crazy assassin kids lol.

I'm going to have to write up an actual resume for that one. :rubs hands gleefully: I don't even care if I make the deadline on that one.

Heehee, happy to enable!

[scribblemyname]

Ahem. Might be more helpful to add, a specific scenario, pairing, or character can also be particularly helpful. A scene. A funny line of dialogue. I can write 1000 words fairly quickly actually, so if you want something exchange size that doesn't stretch my research brain, go for it.

[inkvoices]

I did a mix of generic and more specific :) Hope something helps you reach the word count!

[scribblemyname]

Thank you!
