Friday DE

[thebattycakes]

Hellooooo Milliways! Happy Friyay, y'all!

I've been in a funk, I'll admit, but the last couple of days I have felt the fire for creativity and been excited about taking up things (and then yesterday had to curtail that because work and a deadline ate up my entire day). So, let's get creative and have a Fic Friday!

BUT, let's do it with a twist.

Stealing one of my own ideas from the DE Suggestion Box (feel free to leave your own for future DE's!), today will be reverse fic prompts.

Instead of tagging in with your characters, tag in with random fic prompts and people can browse through and pick up ones to write fic with using their own pups and then share.

One of the things I find myself doing as I go about my day is I pick up random ideas, song lyrics, snatches of dialogue that could make for a story. Most of the time I have characters in mind to assign these to, but sometimes I don't and I end up squirreling them away until I find someone they'd work for.

Share those tidbits now, whether their phrases, song lyrics, first lines, whatever, and maybe they'll find a home with someone's character.

No word limit today, short or long, if the mood strikes, write!

Mish mash of song lyrics, randomness, and some are prompts I received and for different reasons I wasn't able to work with, but they are too good not to be used so I'm sharing them here.

'And if you feel like night is falling / I wanna be the one you're calling'

'And sometimes our compass breaks / And our steady true north fades / We'll be just fine

Sitting side by side at the end of the world

"I can't anymore."

The worst hearts you've known can be salvaged and saved

Bubblegum

'You can tell a few things about the soul of a town / From the blood of the men gone in the ground'

'I've been sleepwalking, wandering all night / trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right'

Worn out boots

I love this!

– And then they laughed
– You are like a hurricane
– Salvation lays just a touch away

Ahhh, this is tremendous, Bat! And you know how much I adore prompty-prompts. Please allow me to offer up a lyrics smorgasbord, y'all:

→ I'm alone in a way that I've never been since you left me behind

→ there's a world I want to leave, and a world where I want to stay; there's a dream that I believe, when I wake up it goes away

→ I was a knife in a gunfight, and I fought so madly; you were a wolf in the daylight, and you almost had me

→ walk through the night, straight to the light, holding the love I've known in my life, and no hard feelings
