Prompt me?

[schneefink]

I'm trying and failing to be productive: reading a few pages here, a few there, but not really getting anything done. I'd like to finish something, so: give me fic prompts? Funny or silly or serious, only titles or with more details, and I'll try to write you short snippets. I'll try any fandom that I'm familiar with.

Avengers okay?

[schneefink]

Sure, with emphasis on "try": I've never written Avengers before, not sure I have all the voices.

[astridv]

My brain is in a five-times place, apparently... like...
Five times Clint and Natasha were in a tight spot.
or
Five times Natasha fired her guns and one time she didn't.
or
Five times Natasha and Clint weren't on vacation and one time they were.

Or, if you're looking for something funny and silly, a furry animal generally does the trick. :o) (But I can't think of a title right now.)

[schneefink]

Five times Natasha's and Clint's vacation was interrupted and one time it wasn't

1. Paris
If they'd bothered to read all the briefings they would have known about the major anti-possibly-magical-drugs operation that SHIELD ran in Paris that week, was the only response Hill gave to Clint's complaints. Yes, it was an unfortunate accident that the young witch happened to color the Eiffel tower pink and ruin their vacation photos. No, apprehending fleeing criminals (even if they were flying at that time) was a civic duty and they would not get additional vacation time. But they could be assured that the nation of France was most grateful for their service and would never forget the fate they'd spared the Louvre. They all agreed that pink would not be a good hair color for the Mona Lisa.
Sometimes Hill was really annoying.

2. Venice
Apparently the canals of Venice were populated by alien squid monsters. "Do you think Coulson knew?" Clint asked, pulling an arrow out of the gelatinous mass.
Natasha seemed to consider it while keeping a careful eye on the water in case there were more. "Did he smile when you saw him last?"
"Damn it," Clint groaned. "Oh well, at least he'll probably send a clean-up crew. These things are starting to stink."

3. Kazan
He'd known that Russia was a bad idea. Clint swore, took out another shooter and then hid behind the wall again. Not that the city wasn't pretty, but in his opinion a place were every mafiaboss was trying to kill Natasha wasn't an ideal vacation spot.
From the roof above him he could hear her shouting things in Russian that were almost certainly insults. The shooting immediately intensified and Clint sighed.
At least Tash was having fun.

4. New York
Clint didn't know why he thought it'd be a good idea.
"Because you are lazy," Natasha said without looking at him. She finished the french fries and then lay down on her back.
"Yes, fine," he admitted. And it wasn't all that bad. In fact, this abandoned spot in Central Park was actually kind of nice. Peaceful. Still, he couldn't shake the restlessness between his shoulder blades. "It's just, this is New York. I'm always expecting another alien invasion."
Natasha gave him an incredulous look.
Five seconds later the robots attacked.

5. Santiago de Chile
This time Clint was almost sure that Hill's "there are no other agents currently in the region and we need you to come in and deal with these out-of-control mutant kids" was an excuse. To be fair, the prank last month had been rather fun, especially the peanuts. But this was their vacation, and that should be respected.
He told this to Natasha afterwards. She raised an eyebrow. "Normal agents would have had some difficulty subduing a group of panicking level 3 mutants."
Clint shrugged, and if she hadn't tightened the bandage at that moment he would have grinned.

+1 Hawaii
"No, Clint," Natasha said when she saw what he was looking at, "the volcanoe is not going to blow up while we're here."
"You don't know that, it could happen," he protested half-heartedly. They hadn't exactly had good luck with vacations recently.
Natasha rolled her eyes. "It won't. Now enjoy your vacation."
"Okay," he agreed after a short pause. "Let's go get ice cream."

[astridv]

Yay, that was great, thank you! "At least Tash was having fun." :D

[schneefink]

She knew exactly what to expect when she picked the place *g*

[darkicedragon]

Okay to ask for Noblesse? :3 (Believe me, I'll be asking for silly domestic fluff stuff because auuuugh, the current stuff. XD XD)

[schneefink]

Haha, sure. I can maybe do silly domestic stuff *g*

[darkicedragon]

\o/ Cake. Homework. Research. Family. Cleaning up. Visiting. Pink. Watching TV. Normal.

Oh, god, okay, done. XD;;;;; Hopefully they're not too broad/vague. XD; So, uh, just throwing all these out for the sake of hoping at least one will bite; don't worry about filling all of them. :3

[schneefink]

Ha! I'm a bit tired, so you only get not-really-fic from me. But I want, unsurprisingly, all the stories about Seira. I'd need to reread the early chapters to remember stuff about the children - I was never their biggest fan, but I think them doing homework together with Seira and Regis would be cute. And then girl bonding time! The girls persuading Seira to try nail polish! Everybody else in the house is shocked, or at least Regis is. Tao finds it amusing, M-21 and Takeo and Rai don't understand what the fuss is about, and Frankenstein secretly thinks it's cute. Now I really want that nail polish scene. Maybe one day *g*

[darkicedragon]

Season 5 is the best for Seira, omggg. 8D I've been sort of trying to write her more (and failing D: ), but yeah, she'd have more presence with the kids. *muse muse* I have been wondering how they find doing homework for a while, or just studying/school in general.

God, Tao would probably lend Seira his nail polish, if she wanted to try out black for a while. XD XD

[schneefink]

Tao and Seira talking about nail polish during a boring wait during a mission or a fight, and everyone else just staring at them, yes xD

[marginaliana]

Fandom of your choice - the one with the terrible trousers.

[schneefink]

If I could write the Doctor or Jack Harkness, it would be something along the lines of:

"No."
"This is very fashionable in the 48th century!" he protested, plucking at the pink-maroon spiral pattern.
"Among who, punk bands? I am NOT wearing this."
"But it's perfect! How else will you fit in?"
"I don't care, I'll sit this one out if I have to. But I'm NOT wearing this."
"But they look so good on you! Look, you're in the society pages!"
Damn time travellers.

;)

[marginaliana]

Heheheheheee!

[rainsometimes]

If you're up for it, One Piece with a theme of "cold" - physically cold, that is, like this blasted March we're having.

I have a particular fondness for hot baths in cold weather but anything with a companionship tone (doesn't have to be with the Strawhats) would be terrific!

[schneefink]

(Sunshine today, yay!)

I'm thinking about something with Whitebeard's crew, if that's fine :)

[rainsometimes]

Absolutely!

[schneefink]

Almost all of the new guys choose to go with Marco. Marco doesn't even raise an eyebrow, just tells them to pack their warmest clothes and where to meet in ten minutes. Jozu does the same to his, much smaller, group, carefully hiding a grin when he catches Marco's eye. The rookies don't know it yet, but their "scouting party" is actually more of a training exercise: they'll spend five days in a winter island forest. Everyone who chose to go with Marco because they saw him playing with fire will be disappointed, because his flames are cool. Last time the rookies forgot to bring a lighter and came back after two days, skin frozen blue and barely even shivering anymore.

Before Ace left, he and Marco would play with the campfire on evenings like this, red and blue flames against the sky and the soft falling snow. And then they would sleep close to each other, Jozu in the middle because he was the warmest, and none of them would be cold the whole night.

Jozu looks at the new guys and silently wonders which of them will make it for long enough to share warmth in the snow.

[rainsometimes]

Aww, that's so sad!! ;_; Man, the Whitebeard Pirates are tough on their new guys.

Thank you!

[schneefink]

They're not letting the new guys freeze to death! Jozu was talking about general dangers of the pirate life, like Marines or monsters and stuff like that. They don't get to cuddle with Jozu until he's known them for a while ;)

[rainsometimes]

Oh! I thought "share warmth in the snow" was something they needed to do within the next few days.

[schneefink]

Well, probably yes, unless they can make a big enough campfire or brought very warm sleeping bags, but not with Jozu specifically ;)

[rainsometimes]

Sorry for the misunderstanding! I was being stupid.

[schneefink]

Np, it was unclear! That happens when I write during the night ^^

[mific]

Teyla Emmagan losing her cool and blowing a diplomatic mission. :)

[schneefink]

Good prompt, and that exactly would be John's reaction face *g* I already have an idea, just need to think about how to get more explosions in it.

[astridv]

I'm bookmarking this thread because I want to see what happens when Teyla loses her cool and blows a mission. I imagine it's a spectacle. :)

[mific]

eeeee! \o/ (I have elsewhere commissioned a suitable Teyla icon in anticipation!)

sga gen crack: Shep the pink dolphin meets a grouchy blue walrus named Rodney who has lost his tusks. And go!

Oh oh, and pineapples and the ides of March

[schneefink.livejournal.com]

Pink dolphins and pineapples! Obviously a holo deck gone horribly wrong.

The holodeck had created several strange artificial creatures, among others bouncing green jellyfish, but for some reason Rodney was almost immediately sure that the pink dolphin speeding around and launching himself up into the air as high as possible was Sheppard. Fortunately Sheppard didn't seem to notice him, or the teasing would never end. As soon as they got out of here he'd find out who'd reprogrammed the holodeck and there'd be hell to pay. He was almost sure it was Zelenka, that annoying little Czech. Even though he was a walrus Rodney tried to grin at the thought of what Radek had looked like after his last visit at the kid planet.
There had to be an off-switch somewhere in the system. He'd put it in at a high-level-protocol, after all, but maybe it was disguised somehow? He dived deeper, trying to ignore how strange his body felt. There, he could see something bright yellow on the ground that obviously didn't fit here. "A pineapple, seriously?" he tried to say, but he couldn't, because he was a walrus.
Something bumped into his side. He rolled around awkwardly and came face to face with the bright pink dolphin that he could swear was laughing at him. Shit.

Random fic prompts? I can do that!

Something violently green appears to terrorize someone at night.

Random OTP is (for, er, reasons) turned into kitchen appliances.

Someone puts a tracking/monitoring device (or spell) onto a Snitch and sets it loose beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries.

Some things do not look better with 3D glasses. Impending doom is one of them.

Suddenly, flamingos. And perhaps an octopus.

(Pick one of the above. Or all. Or mix and match as you please!)

[schneefink.livejournal.com]

Violently green octopi! xD
Thanks, I'll see what I can come up with!

[schneefink.livejournal.com]

Characters are more or less from an original fic I'm sometimes writing:

"Elephants," Sophie said.
A big grey translucent elephant appeared in the middle of the room and blinked out of existence after a second.
Julia sighed in frustration and let her head fall on the table. "I know! But it's always elephants, I know really well how they look by now," she complained in her typical 'telepathy is hard voice.
Sophie raised in eyebrow. "Panda."
This time the image of a panda bear disappeared after mere moments.
"Eagle."
Suddenly the room was filled with giant pink flamingos that stayed for three whole seconds before disappearing. A smell of fish seemed to linger even longer.
"It wasn't an eagle," Sophie commented. "Well done."
Julia groaned.

[diddilypuff.livejournal.com]

I don't quite know what I just read, but I am greatly amused nonetheless!
