dreamsofspike and today's theme is "the end of the world as we know it". Prompts can be anything involving the apocalypse or post-apocalypse settings. Any type of apocalypse you want - worldwide disease epidemic, zombie outbreak, nuclear war - whatever you choose. Just put your favorite characters in the middle of it and show us how you think they'd react.
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...
+ Supernatural, Dean Winchester/Castiel - Cas gives Dean a reason to keep going when everything else is gone
+ Grimm, Nick Burkhardt/Monroe - Nick is still just about the scariest guy around, even in a world filled with zombies.
+ The Voice RPF, Blake Shelton/Adam Levine - no one could have predicted that the zombie outbreak would start during the live season finale
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: 2015-11-12 11:12 am (UTC)Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice. - Robert Frost

Date: 2015-11-12 02:08 pm (UTC)Every morning, she wakes and the sun is still shining. She feeds the cat, showers, cooks and (mostly) eats breakfast, dresses, trudges to her car, drives to work, clocks in, works eight hours (somehow), and then goes home.
Home, where everything is quiet. The cat makes noise sometimes. She turns on the TV just to hear people talking while she cooks dinner and eats. Feeds the cat. Crawls into her lonely bed. Sleeps.
Every morning, she does it all over again.
Time's supposed to make things hurt less, but it hasn't yet.
Mom told her, and Becca, too, It's not the end of the world, you know. There's more fish in the sea. You'll find someone else.
But she spent half her life in love, wrapped up on someone else -- and someone else just... walked away. Like it was easy.
She's living now for the day she wakes and the world is in color again.
So she wakes. Takes care of the cat. Goes to her pointless job and does well. Eats. And again, and again, and again.
Because the world didn't end. And while half of her life so far has been wasted -- well, that's not quite true. Not if she learns something from it.
So she wakes, checks that the sun is still shining, and decides, You've taken enough of me, deleting the pictures of that face from her phone.
