Apr. 25th, 2009 01:44 pmSo 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?

Also, throwing up a lot can't be good for Ced. :\
Hmmm....another prompt? How about...Sebastian telling Cecilia about the whole prison thing?

Date: 2009-04-27 12:42 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2009-04-27 09:19 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2009-04-28 10:42 pm (UTC)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. :)
