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?

Awwww, this. I steal so bad for Seb, but it's really, really nice to see that he's a better now, at the least. :)

Also, the romance. 'Tis very sweet.

I greatly dislike this Mr. Monroe. Greatly. :\

But...either way, I am working on your prompt, I just need to go shower and study for bio first. I'll finish it during a study break. *promises*

But, as for other prompts, hmmm....I want more of Ced and Seb. Not necessarily in prison, just more of them. Prompt word = draw.

(He's a trooper. *pats Seb*

SEB/CELIA WOOT.

I do toooo. I do not like Mr. Monroe at all! Well, okay, I can sympathize with his reasons a bit, because I do know them and though they're biased and unfair, at least they have some basis. BUT I STILL HATE HIM. *eyes* Also, I need to remember that they do have a mother. I think.

It's okay, I can be patient. I know, I know, SHOCKER. :P But yeah, I understand school. :/ And my mom is sending me to bed soon, really early because, y'know, I didn't get much sleep last night. *shifty*)

Cedric paces, trying his best to ignore the chain that clanks it's way across the cell behind him like a mocking shadow. They’ve been down here for two weeks, and three times the guards have marched Sebastian down the hall to gods know where, bringing him back bruised and bloody and bearing a light of triumph in his eyes. It’s been three days since the last time, and Cedric’s sure that they’ll be here any minute now.

“I can’t take it anymore,” he says, collapsing onto his cot. Sebastian looks up from where he’s sitting on the floor, doing something with pieces of straw.

“Mmm?” he says absent-mindedly as he returns his attention to the floor.

“The waiting,” Cedric says in frustration, and gets up and starts pacing again. As he comes near Sebastian, the younger man grabs him by the wrist and drags him down to sit next to him.

“It’s amazing what you can do with pieces of straw when you have lots of idle time on your hands,” he says, sounding almost amused, and Cedric stares at the floor in front of his brother. Somehow, using only straw pieces of varying shapes and sizes, Sebastian has managed to draw a picture on the floor.

“That’s Holland and Adam, isn’t it?” he says, pointing to two small figures standing together, and Sebastian nods.

“We’re over here,” he says with a grin, and sure enough there’s a figure easily recognizable as Cedric (though he couldn’t have said how) standing on the other side of Holland, with Sebastian standing nearby, his arm wrapped around a smaller figure.

“Celia?” Cedric guesses, and Sebastian nods with a wistful smile. For a long moment they both look at the drawing on the floor together. Then the door opens, and the guards come in. They haul Sebastian up, unchaining him from the wall, and as he struggles to stand on his own the various sets of feet scuff away the drawing on the floor as Cedric watches.

That night, instead of being sick in the corner as he has been the last three, Cedric patiently draws pictures in the hay, his jaw set heavily firm as he places each piece of straw just so.

Hahahaha, yes, remember their mother. I get the feeling that she's one of those meek, easily forgotten women. Because, you know, we seem to forget she exists. :\

Awwwww. I am loving ALL of these Ced & Seb in prison drabbles. They're so heartbreaking but so amazing at the same time. :)

Also, throwing up a lot can't be good for Ced. :\

Hmmm....another prompt? How about...Sebastian telling Cecilia about the whole prison thing?

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

(I think she must be... it was a political marriage - she was a princess of the people who used to live here and who more or less died out, which is how the Homeland got it as a colony. They've grown fond of each other over the years, but I don't think she's very strong, especially after having three kids. Hm.

It isn't good for him, but he can't keep his food down on the nights they question Sebastian. Poor Cedric. *pats Ced* Mmm, that sentence should be clarified, the last one in the drabble. It should read, 'That night, instead of being sick in the corner as he has been the last three times they took Sebastian, Cedric patiently draws pictures in the hay, his jaw set heavily firm as he places each piece of straw just so.' I didn't make it clear enough.)

"Did you shrink while I was gone?" Sebastian asks Celia with a smile, and she laughs at him, leaning against the back of the bench.

"No, but you got taller," she says. "I actually grew half an inch. I think you must have grown three!"

"Just two," he says. "Amazing what your body can do even when in prison."

"What happened there?" she says, and her face is serious as she lifts it to his.

"What do you mean?" he asks, but he knows what she means.

"Holland and Cedric are treating you like you're made of glass," Celia says. "Even Adam is keeping an eye on you. And it hurts when I hug you. Doesn't it?" Sebastian looks down at his hands.

"Yeah, a bit," he says.

"So I want to know why," she says, placing a hand on his shoulder. "And I think I deserve to."

"You do," Sebastian says. "They took me in for questioning on Happenstance Harbor - provisions, militia, the harbor itself, everything they'd need to know for an attack." Celia is watching him, her face carefully blank, so he continues. "I wasn't the important hostage, or even important at all, so they could do what they liked to me. My ribs are still healing," he adds, and looks down at her again.

"Are you okay?" she says, and places her hand delicately on his chest, watching him anxiously to see if it hurts him.

"I'm fine now," he says, and covers her hand with his.

Awwwww. I love this. It's so sweet. ♥ I think I may like Seb/Celia more than Adam/Holland mostly because there is more angst to their relationship (mostly because of Seb, but it's not his fault. His life isn't the greatest). YAY. :)

Ooooh, political marriage. INTRIGUE. Also, hmmm, you know, today in History, we were talking about how the Inca took their conquered people's sons (like, the princes) captive to "Inca-fy" them and also to keep them subdued. AND I THOUGHT OF CEDRIC AND SEBASTIAN. HAHA.

Moar, perhaps? How about...Cedric and Mr. Monroe. Paintings.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

*very, very amused* That's awesome! Hehe. You thought about my story in history class. ROFL. Also! I need to stop clicking post before I'm actually done writing the comment. I meant to say awwww, thanks for pimping Revolutionverse! <333 When I commented on your post. But I did not. D:

Oooh. Cedric and Mr. Monroe, hm. I shall have to think about this. *considers*

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I also thought about this one time where bedlamsbard told me how the Pevensies sort-of-not-really kidnapped Corin (in Warverse...and in HHB) to "Narniafy" him. XD

And no problem! It's so awesome, of course I had to pimp it. And sorry for kind of shoving a name on it. :\

Consider all you want. :)

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

XD I remember that! I was reading through the comments on one of her fics I think and I remember reading her comment about that and going '... huh. that makes sense.'

LOL That's fine, really. I don't really have one, other than Harborverse, which really.... doesn't work, since half the important action is in the Homeland. D:
