Day 4 Theme - Needs

[cmk418]

Today's theme is Needs.

Here are a few ideas to get you started: Even if one of your favorite characters is an action hero, she still has basic needs that has to be met. Food, shelter, the need for companionship, the need for intimacy, the need to be alone. How does she make sure that her needs are fulfilled? Does she have a hard time asking for help? Does she have an unusual reaction to getting something that she didn't even realize that she needed?

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 in the pinned post at the top of the page. Please don't post until that day.

Day 3 - Fic - Dragon Age - Lace Harding

[melime]

Title: Kindness is a choice
Fandom: Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Character: Lace Harding & Female Rook Mercar
Prompt: The Caregiver
Rating/Category: T/Gen
Summary: Lace takes the Titans' pain and she answers with kindness and compassion.

Kindness is a choice

She feels this anger, that is and isn't hers. It's in her blood and her bones, this ancestral pain, reasons forgotten but injustice still so keenly felt. All there's left of the Titans is this pain, loud, incoherent, overwhelming, threatening to overtake her. She's only a voice for this anger so long unheard, she's only…

“You're Lace Harding! You're more than this rage!” Rook's voice just barely cuts through the screaming. “You believe that the world is beautiful! That people are good! Hold on to it! Hold on to who you are!”

And it means something that it's Rook telling her this, because she doesn't believe that, because she spent most of her life in Tevinter and saw enough to mistrust even the people who say they want to help. When Lace met her, she was all anger and pain, not for herself, but for every slave in Tevinter. Anger over the injustices that someone else suffered, that she felt that she couldn't do enough to stop. But Lace couldn't help her by agreeing with her anger, as justified as it might have been. And she couldn't meet the Shade's anger with more anger now.

She reached out to the red lyrics given shape and voice, her face staring back at her in anger, and she wants to give in to it too, but she knows better. She meets the Shade not with rage but with compassion, because this is who she is, who she's always been, but kindness is a choice and it's one that she has to keep making, even when it's hard, even when it hurts.

She takes all that pain, and she offers them kindness and compassion. This might not be enough to heal what's left of the Titans, but she hopes it eases their pain.

Day 4: fic rec, Bad Sisters - Bibi/Eva

[sisterdivinium]

Title + link: loved in shades of wrong
Author: atlantisairlock
Fandom: Bad Sisters
Characters/Pairing: Bibi Garvey/Eva Garvey
Length: 5153 words
Rating: T
Warnings: Sister/sister incest, unhealthy relationships.
Summary: Bibi and Eva, and five times they kiss, throughout the years.

Reccer's notes: I could probably recommend everything the author has written for this fandom, but if I had to choose only one story of those posted up until now this might be it for me (the size of my comment below it might be proof enough, as well as the public bookmark I made of it). There's a lot that can be said about this fic and if we're talking needs then I think it fits in well with the theme given how these two clearly need one another so much that they're willing to put aside societal expectations and even some common sense, at times, to fulfil that primal necessity for one another. It hurts them, it hurts people around them, but in truth it is denying that evident need in one way or another that leads to those negative consequences, not the need in itself. The fact that this is all explored within a frame that is both respectful of canon and reinvents it at the same time makes it all the more riveting as one can see what has been left the same and what was altered to the best effect in drawing Bibi and Eva so much closer to one another.

Fandom: 911/Angel the Series

Character/Pairing: Cordelia Chase/Sal Deluca  

Prompt: Needs

Rating: Teen

Length: 2424

Summary: Cordelia Chase is not afraid of fire. She had faced down vampires, an evil mayor, hordes of demons trying to ruin graduation day, an unfaithful boyfriend, and tax agents who stole all her best outfits. This bravery puts her on a direct path of a hot firefighter from the LAFD and a new job - which means she’s far too busy to take a job as a receptionist by the time Angel comes along.

Day 4: Fic - Yu-Gi-Oh - Ishizu

[kerk_hiraeth]

 

      TITLE: It Must Be Tuesday https://kerk-hiraeth.dreamwidth.org/22023.html

      PROMPT: Day Two - Guilty Pleasures

      FANDOM: Buffy the Vampire Slayer {AU}

      AUTHOR: kerk_hiraeth 

      RATING: PG

      LENGTH: 200

      CHARACTERS: Buffy; Faith; Andrew; OC;

      SUMMARY: The life of a Commander-in-Chief is not all grim or boring, or necessarily sensible and sane.

      A/N: This double drabble is set in a fanon-adjacent version of Jet Wolf's, much mourned by me, Chosenverse. Faith and Andrew have a bizarrely nerdy friendship and both have equally bizarre relationships with some of the Junior Slayer's. Timeline-wise we are, maybe, somewhere around where season nine or ten might have been.

 

 

    Goddess watch over you,
