Thursday: Aspec Characters
Jan. 16th, 2020 12:01 amSubject: Day of the Week: Theme [including the day of the week and theme is mandatory! how you do that is up to you.]
Hey, guys,
drabblewriter again, and today's is a theme that's recently become close to my heart: aspec characters. Prompts can be anything involving a character on the asexual and/or aromantic spectrums and/or who is agender.
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
~any, any, finding out there's a word for how they feel (or don't)
~Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order, aroace Cal Kestis, he finally understands why following the Jedi creed of sexual and romantic nonattachment was always so easy for him
~Harry Potter (or HP AU), any aromantic character, voluntarily taking a love potion to see what romantic attraction is like
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2020 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out the just created Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet. For more recent prompts to write, you can also use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.
While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Date: 2021-01-07 02:12 pm (UTC)"Hey, what happened?" Hinata ran her fingers through Kiba's hair.
"Nothing" Kiba mumbled, words muffled and Hinata's sweater hid his tears.
Shino frowned, he shifted to put an arm around Kiba's waist. "Something happened," Hinata said in that gentle, quiet way of hers.
After a long silence Kiba answered, "Asahi broke up with me," was his quiet response. He didn't want to talk about it, but his friends wouldn't let him wallow in peace.
"Why, I thought things were going well?" Hinata hugged him tighter. Kiba spent more time getting over relationships than he did in them. And always for the same reason.
"Why else!" Kiba started, then faltered, realizing what he was about to reveal. "I-I don't - I don't ask for sex?" Kiba burrowed further into his friend's side, embarrassed.
"What? That's ridiculous!" Hinata exclaimed.
"What do you mean, you don't ask for sex?" Shino always had a cool head. Which had always tempered well with Kiba's fiery personality.
"I - just don't think about it." Kiba scratched at his neck. "And Asahi said that I must not be attracted to her since I never want it. But I was, I think." Kiba groaned
Hinata hesitated, biting at her lip, "Kiba, have you heard of asexuality before?"
A soft, "no," was Kiba's response.
Hinata stroked her fingers through Kiba's hair. "It means, in its broadest terms, that you lack sexual attraction."
"Huh," Kiba turned over so he could see his friends' faces. "But I do enjoy sex, I think. I mean, don't I?"
"Do you?" Hinata asked, one brow quirked and her pale eyes focused on Kiba.
Kiba thought about the very few times he had had sex. His first boyfriend had been a bully about it and the one and only time they had had sex Kiba hadn't enjoyed it. But he had really enjoyed the few months he and Takai had dated. The sex had been okay, he enjoyed it but ultimately Takai had broken up with him for the same reasons as Asahi.
"I just don't think about it, I guess. I have enjoyed it before but it's just not on my mind. My mom always said I was a late bloomer, I just figured that was a part of it."
"There's nothing wrong with it or you." Shino had his phone in hand, "there are several websites and communities you can check out." Kiba felt his pocket vibrate. He smiled up at his best friend.
"We'll figure it out together. You're not alone, Kiba." Hinata leaned down and kissed his cheek, her black hair fell around them for a moment before she flicked it away.
Kiba smiled, feeling lighter now that he had a definition for how he felt, that his friends would be right there with him as he figured it out.
