comment_ficA pleasant Thursday to you all! Just gonna leave this pinch hit here, and I'll be on my way... towards not fun things...
Today's theme is 2 out of 3. Prompts should offer three related or unrelated things (separated by dashes or commas), and fills should involve any two of those three things. Prompters, you can use an online random generator if you'd like. Writers, try your best not to be lured in by Bunny Number 3. (Or, perhaps, fill a prompt twice? Three times, just to be fair?)
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...
+ The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit (book and/or movie 'verse), Bilbo Baggins + any, the wind in the trees -- a teapot -- writing
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), teaching -- medicine -- homemade
+ any sci-fi fandom, any (+/ any), for free -- second thoughts -- warming up
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.

Date: 2025-10-16 06:08 pm (UTC)Jamie, Roxanne’s new camerawoman, brought Megamind fully into frame as Roxanne tipped her microphone in his direction.
“Citizens of Metrocity!” he announced, grabbing the mic from her. “You are about to bear witness to an innovation in the production of baked goods!” He waved a hand across the length of the unimpressive folding table before him. “Watch as this tray of uncooked dough is subjected to the full, concentrated power of the sun!”
He raised a hand triumphantly to the sky, but as nothing happened, the maniacal grin frozen on his face slowly melted into a scowl. He spun around to glare at Minion, who was stationed off to the side, staring down at a handheld computer. “Minion,” he hissed, “that was the cue to activate the death—I mean, the baking ray.”
“I did activate it, sir,” Minion affirmed chipperly. “It just appears to be warming up.”
“Wait a minute,” Roxanne frowned. “This is the death ray you shot Metro Man with, isn’t it! And you repurposed it to make cookies?”
“I seem to remember a judge dismissing those charges,” Megamind pouted, crossing his arms. “Not enough evidence. Remember your journalistic integrity, Roxanne. And anyway, it was just sitting there, in the Earth’s orbit, collecting dust.”
Minion looked up from his computer and gestured to the screen. “Um, sorry to interrupt but—“
“I can’t believe this,” Roxanne scoffed. She snatched her microphone back, unappreciative of the dig at her professionalism. “You still haven’t fixed the power issue?”
“Uh, guys?” Minion tried again.
“It worked fine this morning!” Megamind shot back, and suddenly a golden beam of pure energy cut through the Earth’s atmosphere and blasted the table.
The light subsided in a flash, revealing the singed figures of Megamind and Roxanne. They had at least fared better than the table, which had been reduced to a pile of ashes and melted plastic that gently smoked in a pit of rubble that represented the city’s newest pothole.
Minion sidled up to Megamind and offered him an oven mitt, which he took with a quiet, dignified air. Roxanne and Jamie watched with amazement as he stepped into the pit and scavenged through the debris. When he pulled out the baking tray, it looked slightly more warped but bore a picturesque array of golden-brown chocolate chip cookies.
Megamind cleared his throat and proffered the tray of cookies with a smug smile that Roxanne found slightly charming and mostly irritating. “Free sample?”
