comment_ficNow it's time for the free for all!
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.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Have fun!
So, I generally post the free for all around midnight. Last Saturday, I posted it, went to bed two hours later, and was then woken two hours after that because my roommate's room had caught fire.
If I hadn't already posted the free for all, it would not've happened last week.
Anyway. I'm in a weird place right now because I'm still mostly numb. My apartment is unlivable. My cat died in my room from smoke inhalation. I'm still coughing sometimes because I inhaled a lot of smoke, trying to find my cat and fight the fire. I have three classes of my own to attend and am teaching another twice a week.
So. I'm still processing, I guess. Not sure why I added this to the free for all.

Date: 2017-01-21 03:38 pm (UTC)"But Jenny -"
"I'll stay with Julian. It's fine."
"Jenny, he's a monster! Summer -"
"Tom? Jenny? What's going on?"
"Summer? Summer!"
"Like I said, Tom, go. It's fine."
"Do you ever regret the choice you made?" Julian's voice was soft, distant. Disinterested.
He would be hanging on Jenny's every word. She lay tangled in his arms in a nest of furs beside a roaring fire in yet another of the strange dimensions. She'd thought, once she became his queen in Niflheim, she'd be trapped like Persephone in a world of shadows and cold. Not so. The universe was hers to explore.
"No," she said. "I don't regret it. Because I'm with you, and I know you love me, and we are - free. Freer than I ever could have imagined." She turned to him and looked into his impossibly blue eyes and kissed him.
Sometimes, though, she missed the little things. Like really feeling the sunlight on Midgard.
"Mama, mama, look what I found!"
Jenny looked up from the book she was reading (found, in the cracks between worlds, half-written in dreams, half-scribbled into a spiralbound notebook; it was better than Shakespeare, who she saw, sometimes, stumbling around the Fairy Realm).
Jocelyn was holding out a hideous blue insect like it was a prize puppy.
"That's lovely, dear, but you know how Daddy is about bugs. Go put it back where you found it."
"All right." Jocelyn beamed at her mother, kissed her on the cheek, and scampered away.
Jenny watched out of the corner of her eye to make sure Jocelyn was actually putting it back, and she saw Jocelyn reach out, trace a circle of runes on the wall, saw the portal open. Jocelyn kissed the bug somewhere on what might have been its face and then pushed it through the portal, which dissolved a moment later in a pungent rush of ozone and magic.
What had happened to the darklings Jenny had assigned to watch after Jocelyn, to make sure she didn't get permanently lost or hurt in one of the many dimensions she was constantly traipsing off to?
She liked to experiment with rune combinations all the time, would sit tracing them on the wall for hours till one of them opened to another world, and then she'd carve the combination onto a rune staff for safekeeping, and then dash off.
With a darkling in tow.
Where was it?
Jenny and Julian were enjoying a sumptuous feast with envoys from the various realms - Delirium in a frightfully pink and black tutu, Titania and Oberon on far ends of the table because they were feuding, Jack Skellington and Jack Frost trading tales about children - when a darkling approached the table and whispered to Julian. He nodded and sighed. He was wearing that fond expression of his that meant Jocelyn had done something outrageous again.
"Pardon me, love." He pressed a cool kiss to Jenny's cheek and ducked away from the table.
Titania and Oberon, who'd just discovered they were cheating on each other with the same lover, were the center of attention while magic flared around them, and no one noticed Julian depart.
They didn't notice Jenny depart a moment later when another darkling summoned her.
Jocelyn was sulking in the corner of her play room, facing in the wall and refusing to look at Julian.
"Darling?" Jenny asked.
"Jocelyn has brought us a guest." Julian gestured, and that was when Jenny noticed him, tall and pale with long dark hair and ice blue eyes and curious green robes.

I wonder, if someone cares

Date: 2017-01-21 03:30 pm (UTC)I, sometimes I lose myself in me
I lose track of time
And I can't see the wood for the trees
You set them alight
Burning bridges as you go
I'm too weak to fight you
I've got my personal hell to deal with, then you say
Walk my path
Wear my shoes
Talk like that
I'll be an angel then
Things can only get better
Can only get better, now
I found you

I will be sending lots of good vibes your way. *hugs*
Re: Not A Fill
Date: 2017-01-28 02:40 pm (UTC)Thank you. I'm living with my parents at the moment. The shock's finally worn off, so I sobbed for a little while three days in a row, which sucked. And I'm still fucking coughing.
