comment_fic | Tuesday ✎ Dawn and Daytime [DW]

Hey, everyone, and welcome to

creepy_shetan, your host for this week.

Today's theme is dawn and daytime. For prompts and fills, anything involving the break of day and things you can see or do during daylight hours is welcome. Is it a nice day to enjoy with friends and family? Maybe it's an average day of school or work. Or is it a good time to relax in the sun or go on a day trip somewhere special? Or, perhaps, it's a good day to die...

Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^

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 the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
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 things started...
+ Resident Evil (game/CGI 'verse), any (+/ any), at first light
+ Star Wars, any character(s) from Andor or The Acolyte, running errands in town (and avoiding trouble?)
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), resting in a cool patch of shade on a warm and sunny day

We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word! comment_fic

Standing in the gentle shade of a lightly swaying tree, Meteor closes his eyes, content to bask in that wind which brings the scent of summer. Just barely out of reach, on a patch of short grasses, G'raha is splayed out, enjoying the full heat of the sun. As if in invitation, his tail flicks at Meteor's shoes.

"I don't like being cooked when I ought be relaxing." Meteor drops into a cross-legged sit, still hiding in the shadows.

"For shame. We've been gifted a beautiful day and you'd squander the spoils for the dreary pockets of stygian cover." Devoid of malice, G'raha chuckles airily. His fidgeting is audible, grass crinkling as he runs his hands through the dirt.

Meteor flicks open his eyes just as G'raha sits upright to stretch while he yawns. "Too beautiful a day to ignore, not beautiful enough to stay awake?"

G'raha just groans and falls back into the grass. "It's a wonder nobody knows how much of a jokester you are. A wordsmith worthy of being sung of by wandering minstrels purely by merit of intellect."

Smiling with naught more than warm air on his skin, Meteor lightly nudges at G'raha's shoes with his own. "They know plenty well, but 'Saviour of the Universe' has a better ring to it than 'Amusing Guy'".

"I suppose." G'raha pauses to breathe in the smell of grass. "You're far more approachable than I would have previously speculated. Even after everything, you're still…"

"Weird?" Shuffling closer and into the sunlight, Meteor leans over G'raha. "Just some guy?"

He's silent for a moment, but G'raha finally murmurs, "I was intending to say 'grounded', or 'yourself', but you do qualify for the lofty title of Weirdest Person In Eorzea."

"Is there a reward for my achievement?"

The laugh that shakes G'raha's body is quieter than the breeze. "What do you desire for it?"

"Dunno, maybe a bowl of high-quality soup." Meteor shakes his head as a stronger wind blows through.

"Indeed, sometimes simplicity is good." The far-away look on G'raha's face is obscured by the bright light shining his way, but Meteor still feels compelled to look away.

Do I sense UST? Or trauma? Hrm. XD;;

Your description of G'raha made me look him up, and yup, he's a feline person. :3 I have a friend who loves FFXIV, so I know a little bit about Eorzea.

Thanks for the relaxing fill!

It's part UST, part trauma. FFXIV is full of opportunities for it XD
