Prompts and Drabbles

[scribblemyname]

I'm getting ready to read about 100,000 words of canon review for the collaboration, which is no small chunk, and before I do, I kind of wanted to write some drabbles. Any prompts?

1. fandom or canon - tagset of fandoms
2. character(s)
3. fluff or angst
4. one to three word prompt

I won't lock you into any characters if you can use this:

Queen protects king

(Full quote being: "Every man needs a woman in his life when things are a mess; because just like in chess, the queen protects the king.")

[(Anonymous)]

I almost did the full quote last time, but...

"Delicate tangles"

Or "emptiness of my hand"

(From her poem in Joe vs the Volcano, "Long ago, the delicate tangles of his hair filled the emptiness of my hand.")

Okay, so these aren't prompts, but I stumbled on them last night trying to get around my own issues, and they might be encouraging, so passing along for others to see/use if they can:

Dancing in the rain

[scribblemyname]

I LOVE these! Thank you!

Friendship

(So vague, I know. Sorry.)

[scribblemyname]

I love the quote. As for the pairing, hmm... :thinking:

You're welcome. I thought they were pretty and also good thoughts, so I had to share.

Traditional food

(Cooking, eating, thinking about... Don't care. Been writing a character who makes it for his sister and it's been interesting and fun, so passing along accordingly)

Kingdoms and Thorn Drabble: Dangerous (or She Bites)

[scribblemyname]

Sear's protective. She wanders into the hospital where Meld works when he can get away with it (as much as Rachelle fights to keep him from overworking, from pouring too much of himself into the broken bodies of the wounded and sick, she won't stop him) and waits for him to make his rounds with all the patience of family.

The medics rib him sometimes. "Your girlfriend's here."

They don't tease about Rachelle because she's no one's girlfriend and says so, but Sear...

He shrugs it off because they're friends, they're family, and she's protective. She doesn't stick to words.

I was going to say I couldn't think of an original set, and almost put forth Rogue/Remy (Ultron spoilers have ruined Clint/Natasha for me) but then I remembered... You have Red Wolf/Whisper, and they fit in canon.

X-Men Comicsverse Drabble: Tangled

[scribblemyname]

Between Rogue and Remy were all these delicate threads, the ties that bind. While the love was there, the trust was fragile and easily broken. It tangled up in the fears she harbored and the lies he wielded.

"Ah never know what angles y'all are playin'," she'd chide him when he begged her one more time to just trust him. "Last time Ah did that, didn't turn out so well."

And Remy couldn't deny it, but the last time he'd trusted her, she'd abandoned him in Antarctica. "We could always forgive each other, neh?"

Another try, another touch, another thread.

[scribblemyname]

Oooh! Excellent choice is excellent!

(I am alternately chucking Age of Ultron to the curb—the studio had already greenlit the pairing and half-implemented it when Whedon decided he needed Natasha to have a platonic friendship as if Steve didn't count—and treating it like X3, as optional apocryphal canon. I don't blame you.)

I like her watching out for him.

Re: Kingdoms and Thorn Drabble: Dangerous (or She Bites)

[scribblemyname]

I like their friendship dynamic, even if she IS overprotective. :grins:

Ah, these two. So dysfunctional and yet... One always wants them to work and reaffirm those ties. (And really can't suspend disbelief to say that many of those things weren't just plot devices and not what they'd really do if they could.)

Kingdom and Thorns Drabble: Unrepentant

[scribblemyname]

Whisper could lead the team if she wanted to. She didn't. She could let Red Wolf handle himself. He was strong enough, brave enough.

He was hers, and she wasn't going to lose someone who belonged to her ever, ever again.

Red Wolf sighed as he leaned back on the bed pillows and ran his hands through his hair. "I could handle the warrant," he said, a little biting, a little frustrated. "Legally, they can't interrogate me for what I did as a team operative."

Whisper just looked at him until he finally looked up at her. "Queen protects king."

Don't get me started. :mutters ominously in the direction of Marvel: And I haven't heard good things about the new comics storylines coming either.

[(Anonymous)]

They do bring down a country for him. :)

(I've decided not to see it and will therefore ignore it as canon in any respect, but sadly cannot unsee the spoilers. I guess it doesn't matter much, since I'm not writing fanfic and don't really read it except on occasion, but it does put me even further on the outside of Marvel than I was before.)

[scribblemyname]

Do you want me to drop in prompts? From what you said, I wasn't really sure what mood you were in.

Aw, that was actually rather cute.

[scribblemyname]

You won't be the only "Ultron does not exist" member of fandom. I fully support your decision.

Here's one of my favorite things about those spoilers: the family could be Barney's or a part of the visions Wanda gave the lot of them. That's where most of the fics went pre-movie.

He should have known she's more stubborn than he is. :grins:

[(Anonymous)]

A part of me would desperately like to write again and get the voice out of my head.

Another part of me is saying I've got no business doing it.

*sigh*

Um... I guess if you have some, go ahead. As long as you have time to post them and it's not inconvenient for you, then even if I can't write, it doesn't hurt, right?

Meld does seen to need it some.
