be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Harry Potter: Slytherclaw)
[personal profile] be_themoon
So yesterday I ended up crying to my mum about various things for half an hour, which was actually really nice and helped loads. It was a mixture of one of my best friends being a jerk over nothing and my teachers thinking it's fine to laugh at me for getting mad at this one boy whenever he's an idiot (look, he used to frequently say things like 'I hope someone kills Obama' or 'I want to snipe Obama' and none of the teachers did anything, and now he adds comments like 'Ah, Betsy, my bestest friend' and is purposely even more annoying to me and the teachers think it's funny) and also the fact that I know all these amazing Christian guys and if I ever wanted to date them I couldn't because of my current not-a-Christian status. Also just the stress and the not-actually-learning-anything-in-school (THIS IS A BAD THING, OKAY?) and too many PEOPLE.

This is only exacerbated by the fact that all three of my sisters are hardly available. Mary's in... Utah, and every other week is in the field without a cell phone and having a lot of her own problems, Esther's practically inaccessible because she's always working/at school/with Matt-her-boyfriend, and Katherine (with horrible timing) is finally hitting hormone-land and flipping out half the time.

SO. GUYS. I need prompts for my various WIP's that are original fiction, because honestly I do not know these characters. SO. Here are characters!

Various Wall-fics that want to be written

Sidonie - 16 year old girl living on the Wall.
Flavian - her brother, around 21, commander of 20 horse, one of only three sections on the wall
Adrian - a centaur, Flavian's second-in-command
Albion - 45-year-old Commander of the Wall, born and raised in Britain, is planning to stay behind when the Romans pull out
Tiresius- wizard, part of the command section on the Wall, answers only to Albion (specify age when prompting, I know his basic story from around 18-60)
Flynn - a wizard, was onceu Tiresius' best friend, died when they were both 17
Risa - Tiresius' wife. He was ordered to marry her as part of political manuevering (complicated). Sharp-witted but gentle and kind, and is now the only one who can bring out what is left of Tiresius' conscience
Maris - Tiresius' daughter, born when he was 30

At the First Glimpse of Thunder
Cedric, Holland, and Sebastian Monroe (boy, girl, boy) - 18, 17, & 15
Cecilia Bardsley - 14, their next-door neighbor
Adam Bardsley - 20, Cecilia's brother, currently a Lieutenant in the Homeland Navy

So basically, give me any two (or three) of these characters (crossovers between the two different places are absolutely fine) and a word or phrase. An age if you have Tiresius in it would be great. So yeah! Prompt away? Pretty please?

ETA: I've done two, would love more! Also, OMG TENSES. DANG IT. I CANNOT KEEP THEM STRAIGHT. *dies* If you spot tense mess-ups in my fics for your prompts, there's a 99% chance I spotted it within five minutes after posting it. Sorry!

Much love to everyone giving me prompts!

ETA THE SECOND: Cecilia has an older brother. Huh. *eyes charries* Can't you guys EVER tell me this at a reasonable time?

(XD I would read original fic by you! <333 AND AHAHA, YES. SEBASTITAN, HE IS SO LOVELY. I shall write you more!)

It's the night Cecilia comes out (unofficially, of course - she can't really come out unless she's in the Homeland) and even at a ball thrown just for her she's managed to vanish.

Sebastian sighs and sidles out the door, heading for the Bardsley's garden. She is there of course, just 'taking a little breather' as always before heading back into the crush of bodies and heat. He doesn't blame her - tonight has been unusually difficult to get through, and he hasn't enjoyed watching her flocked with men.

So instead of saying anything or trying to drag her back in, he sits down next to her on the bench. She sighs and rests her head on his shoulder, and he gives her a bemused glance.

"How much wine have you drunk, Celia?" he asks, and she looks up at him, blinking wide-eyed. The blood rushes to his face and he can feel his heart beating abnormally loudly, and instinctively he moves his head away, barely able to hear her laughing answer ('not enough, your face is still ugly'). He hasn't been this close to her in almost a year - they've grown more distance as they've grown up and as he gained a reputation for being a dashing player.

It's only by sheer force of will that he can keep his feelings in check and not let them show on his face, but a strong will is something he's always had. He stands up and offers her his hand, suddenly very aware of the way her pulse is beating against the base of his thumb.

"Come on, we should head back in," he says, and his tone is light and teasing, exactly the way he wanted it. "They're probably missing you by now - you are the belle of the ball, after all." She wraps her hand more tightly around his, leaning against him a bit, and he can smell the jasmine fragrance on the air that is distinctively hers and always has been, ever since she was three and starting wearing the flowers in her hair. He is all too aware of how her lips would taste of wine, and so he turns and leads her inside, sitting down with a small shake of his head and a smile when she asks him to take this waltz with her.

He doesn't dance the rest of the night, instead finding a girl who's more than happy to kiss him in the corridors.

Her lips taste of wine, but she doesn't smell of jasmine.

(Oh, Sebastian. You have such a low opinion of yourself, and it's not warranted at all. *pats Seb*)

(YAY H/G AND INSPIRATION. *proceeds to write more*)

"It's none of your business who I kiss!" Sebastian snaps, and Holland scowls at him.

"I'm your older sister, of course it is!" she snaps back, and sticks her finger practically in his face. "You're getting a reputation, and it's not a good one. Father will hear of it soon, you know he will! Why can't you be more like Cedric?"

"Cedric's perfect," Sebastian says, a hint of bitterness in his voice. "Why should I even try?"

"You could make an effort!" Holland says, brandishing her finger. He winces and leans backward.

"Are you done now?" Sebastian says. "I have maids to seduce." Holland's mouth opens and then she closes it.

"You're hopeless," she says. "Just remember it's not my fault when father calls you in for another talk in his study." Sebastian shrugs, his hands in his pockets.

"I've dealt with it before," he says.

"I know," Holland says, and sighs. "Oh, Seb, I'm worried for you. I'm leaving soon. I want to know that you won't be charming your way through the ranks of maidens and generally being a never-do-well."

"That's generally what I am," Seb points out, but the rancor is gone from his voice, and his jaunty smile droops a little.

"You could be so much more," Holland sighs, and pulls him into a hug. "You never even talk to Celia anymore, and the two of you used to be such good friends." Sebastian stiffens.

"She's busy, you know," he says as Holland pulls back and grips his shoulders, studying his face. "She came out a few months ago, you know." He makes the words more careless than he should have - Holland knows him well, and she bites her lip.

"You've argued, haven't you?" she says.

"In a way," Sebastian says with a shrug, and ducks under her arms. "Come on, let's go the Bay. They're flying the 'ship sighted' pennant."

"All right then," Holland acquiesces, and follows him out as he grabs her hand.
