be_themoonSo 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?

ALL FOR IT
Date: 2009-04-26 06:21 am (UTC)Sebastian is just coming out of the house's front door as Adam hurries up the steps, and he flashes him a broad grin.
"She's in the music room," Sebastian says, and keeps going, his jaunty walk unmistakable.
Adam manages to slow down his steps and walk through the house to the back where Holland's pianoforte rests. She's playing as he comes through the door, her back to him. It's 'Greensleeves,' the song she used to sing to him, and she's singing along to it quietly now. He pauses inside the door and listens as she sings the last verse, watching the slender curve of her neck as she bends over the keys.
"Greensleeves now farewell, adieu
God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me."
He moves forward and joins in on the refrain, and if she is surprised, she doesn't show it, just smiles at him and improvises a rippling cascade of notes.
"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight:
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves."
As the song ends, she spins on the stool and stands up, and he scoops her up and twirls her around, her shriek of laughter bubbling up.
"Adam!" she says breathlessly. "We weren't expecting you until at least tomorrow."
"I called the winds to bring me home," he says, and kisses her, reveling in the scent of vanilla that has always floated around her. "I missed you," he whispers against her neck, and she stands on her tiptoes as he pulls back to kiss his forehead.
"Come," she says, twining her hand in his. "Tell me how the voyage went." She leans against his shoulder as they make their way to the couch and then nestles against him as he begins to tell her stories, interrupting himself often to kiss her again.
