comment_ficHello! Come on in and join us. :D Since our last theme was full of sunlight -- or, at least, typical daytime activities -- let's give the globe half a spin...
Today's theme is dusk and nighttime. Prompts and fills can relate to things that happen at sunset or during the night. Sleeping, dreaming, settling in and getting comfortable, enjoying the company of others, feeling relief at finally being alone... Then there's the night life, the city lights, the starry sky above, sparks and glows in the dark, shadows that may or may not be worth exploring... Whatever your characters can sense or do that is especially special in the dark of the night.
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...
+ Guilty Gear, Sol Badguy (+/ Ky Kiske) + Sin Kiske, campfire memories
+ Batman/DCU (any 'verse), any Gotham resident (+/ any) + a late-night shopkeeper, last customer of the night
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), they should be asleep, but the view of the stars is much too enchanting to miss
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!

Date: 2025-05-09 03:57 am (UTC)The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link, Without Knowing Why
Date: 2025-07-04 10:26 am (UTC)One hundred years of leaving Zelda to shoulder Ganon's malice, one hundred years of as many peoples living without a guiding hope, one hundred years in which Link hardly existed at all and yet still maintained the responsibility of his namesake.
The wonder of distant stars and galaxies fades into the recesses of his mind in the face of all-encompassing danger. In some way, a sky bereft of stars, empty of light and life, is morbidly comforting. Even if Link fails, they'll be no worse off than that cold and endless void, lacking in anything and everything.
When day breaks, the lone star called the Sun will resume the journey to restore the balance of time, and all the same, the lone hero of Courage will cleave through the darkness.
Link flops onto his back, pulling out his Sheikah slate to flip through his pictures. Delicious recipes and rare plants, friendly people and broken weapons, beautiful sunsets and damp caves, quiet locales and roaring waterfalls, there's not a moment preserved of that childhood he wishes he could return to. Innocent youth may cling to his body, as if a ghost of himself, but the struggles he'd thought only adults had rip and tear at his skin.
On a night like this, when the cold burns and loneliness is embroidered onto the fabric of reality, the only stars in the sky appear as twisting forms in the distance, shimmering draconic figures with a scale for every constellation that shies away from Link's eyes.
