Day 5 Theme - Nature

[cmk418]

Characters rarely spend the entirety of their lives indoors, so they've interacted with nature at some point.

Here are some ideas to get you started: Get your character out and about or if they can't go out, let them try their hand at gardening. How would your character behave on a camping trip or a ten-mile hike or a river raft trip? You can also involve weather- does your character dance in the rain or is she moping on the sidelines? If they are confined or the environment is no longer safe for people to be outside, write or show a backstory scene or dream sequence with them interacting with nature.

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Want to get a jump start on tomorrow's theme? Check out the prompt list here. Please don't post until that day. If you are coming in later to the fest and want to post on the theme of a previous day, that's fine, just make sure to put which day that you are writing for in the subject line.

Day 5 - Vid Rec

[colls]

Fandom: Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek Picard
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Seven of Nine
Rating and/or Content Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Links: All of these lines across my face by Pixie(magnetgirl)
Summary: Annika still has work to do.

Reccer's Notes: This one is a bit of a stretch to fit into today's theme (the title refers to the natural process of aging?). The vid though, is an emotional ride and it's so well done. It's a wonderful look at Seven's character journey and the music is by one of my favorite artists.

Day 5 - Fic - Warrior Nun/Monsterverse/Arcane - Jillian, Jia and Vi

[jacquelee]

Title: A Dream Come True
Day/Prompt: Day 5 / Nature
Fandom: Warrior Nun (TV), MonsterVerse, Arcane
Character/Pairing: Jillian Salvius, Jia, Vi (sort of)
Rating/Warning(s): G / None
Word Count: 1263
Summary: Doctor Jillian Salvius has dedicated her life to science. Studying one of the Titans on Skull island is a dream come true for her, even more when she meets Jia, the most unusual assistant she could imagine but also the best.
Author's Notes: This is possibly the weirdest thing I've ever written and the idea was not mine, but yes, I can see the vision of Arcane characters as giant monsters, so Vi is Kong and Cait is Godzilla (the latter does not appear in this fic).

Day 1 Fashion: Catherine the Great

[impala_chick]

The Hulu TV series The Great has fantastic costumes. The show is set in 18th century Russia, and the best outfits of the show are worn by Catherine The Great. I love how the designers pushed the envelope and really showed Catherine's growth over the three-season series through her costumes.
