streussal again with today's theme: women! Stories with a focus on female characters, canon or original (though preferably not genderswap of dude characters).
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.
If your prompt or fill contains anything that can be a trigger for the reader, please add a warning for that to give the reader the chance to decide if they want to read or not.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing. 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...
+ Sense8, Nomi Marks/Amanita, truth and beauty bombs
+ Kill Bill, O-Ren Ishii, I've been putting out fire with gasoline
+ Durarara!!, Anri Sonohara +/ Celty Sturluson, sparring
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 2015 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: 2015-11-04 11:33 am (UTC)you shoulda crowned her (she's a goddess)
Date: 2015-11-05 03:36 am (UTC)He never seems to notice that she has exactly what she wants. He should. She found him when no one else could. She blackmailed him, she threatened to kill her rivals and she meant it, she offered to kill her friend and she meant it, she has killed two shinigami and who else can say that?
She knew that Rem loved her, but she did not love Rem. She knew that Rem would die for her one day, from the moment she found out how a shinigami dies. She knows a lot of things.
She knows that Light does not mean it when he calls her his goddess, which is funny because she is already the goddess of their new world and he doesn't even notice. He could have killed her the moment Rem crumbled away into dust, but he did not and he will not because Misa is still the girl, the goddess, who plays things just right to get exactly what she wants.
She could destroy everything, if she chose to. She could burn down Kira's kingdom with a few pretty stories in a black notebook. She won't because she loves, but she could.
Light is the bright, glorious, terrible god building heaven on earth. Misa is the goddess of destruction wielding a sword at his back and he is hers whether he loves her yet or not.

Date: 2015-11-16 03:04 am (UTC)The men all stare at Helen hungrily, coveting her flesh; but it is Andromache who speaks with her long into the night, after Paris has sated his lust, has recited poetry honoring Helen's beauty, and it is Andromache who realizes that beneath the veneer of the queen, there is a girl who still longs to find love with someone who would be content to wander through a garden holding hands (and so they do, often, and Hector thanks her for helping Helen settle in, and Paris barely notices, and Andromache holds Helen close as the war drags on and on and on, and the night the horse is wheeled in, Helen steals into Andromache's chambers, shakes her awake, and murmurs, "Grab your son - we have to hide away," and as Andromache stares up into her eyes, she remembers all the rumors of Helen's divine heritage, and Helen repeats, "Astyanax, love, hurry," and so Andromache rises).

Date: 2015-11-04 12:42 pm (UTC)Filled (tw: murder, implied rape)
Date: 2015-11-04 03:00 pm (UTC)Not a single sorry bastard of the pack of slavering wolves at her door notices that she is slowly poisoning them each night they linger in her home, the mercury mixed into the wine they guzzle down with such fervor even as their greedy gazes fall on her and their lustful hands take liberties with the women Penelope is supposed to protect.
Penelope cannot protect them the way she wishes she could, with sword and knife; each woman given a personal trophy. If Odysseus were here these men would not dare but they are not and it is only the knowledge that they would lose what ever they hoped to gain if one dared force her that keeps her safe enough.
Penelope weaves her webs the same as she weaves the shroud and her son passes the word to those loyal to her to put aside the wine. To keep watch for weakness, for sickness and to pass along anything she can use.
Some die but not enough. Some fall ill but again too few. She cannot risk the poison too often or someone will catch wise to her deception.
It is a deeper sting than Penelope cares to admit when twelve of her serving women prove themselves to be on the part of her unwanted suitors.
As Penelope stands before the assemblage, she prays once more that Artemis strike her dead before she is forced into the infidelity these men have been hounding her for over the past two decades. The goddess does not deign to grant her desperate plea.
When Odysseus throws the rags from his shoulders and side by side with Telemachus begins the slaughter Penelope cannot help but take up a sword herself, the long caged anger and helplessness turning to wrath as the scales are finally tipped in her favor.
Penelope thinks, as she yanks her sword from the guts of another hated suitor, that if she dies tonight it will all have been worth it to see these men dead at her feet.
She'll spit in their eyes as Charon helps her into his boat.

Date: 2015-12-25 03:37 pm (UTC)“... but Lux she’s the chosen one who is destined to--”
“Fuck destiny. Fuck fate! I said I won’t allow it, dad.”
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I know your frightened for Rae but she has a strong mother who raised her right. She’ll be fine.”
Lux blinked. “You’re right, dad. I am strong and I taught her right.”
“Rae, what are you getting at?” he asked, the panic clear in his tone.
“As the mother of the so called “chosen one” there is no reason why I won’t be able to take Rae’s place.”
“Fate says--”
“Like I said, fuck fate dad. I’ll help those bastards win this war and then they’ll have to leave me and my daughter the hell alone.”
