Hello everyone, I'm still crimson_antics and this is my third day of hosting.

Today's theme is The Four Elements. Your prompts can be about fire, water, earth, air, or a combination of those.

Don't forget the rules:
* Three prompts per fandom, and no more than five total. If one of your prompts is filled, you may post another.
* No spoilers for new shows/seasons until at least one week after airing.
* If your fill do contains spoilers, please warn accordingly and leave enough space for people to pass by.

Please think of our codemonkeys and use the following format for your prompts:
* Supernatural, Lucifer +/ Michael, Heaven on fire.

Gormenghast, Steerpike (PG)

[matrixrefugee.livejournal.com]

In one room on the third floor of the north wing, the top of a wardrobe, it's sides and doors swollen with water, afforded Steerpike a place on which to perch and rest, like a rain-bedraggled raven. The night closing in turned the storm-darkened room as black as the inside of a coal sack. Exhaustion set in and he dragged himself as far to the rear as he could go, to avoid falling into the floodwaters that half-filled the room, should he turn over in his sleep.

His eyes hardly seemed to drop shut when voices boomed nearby and he smelled the scent of the smoke from a torch burning nearby. His instinct was to shift further back till his body pressed against the wall, but he could not risk his movement being detected, and he lay still as a dead tree.

"No sign of the rat here," a voice that might belong to a guard said close by.
