Open Post 2016 2017 Edition
☻Pick one of my characters or drop any of your characters in and get a random choice.
☻Pick a scenario or use RNG (or make one up if you don't see what you want here).
☻Have fun!
I. Roadtrip
1. BREAK DOWN. Oh snap. Your car decided to break down out in the middle of nowhere. WHAT DO? Is that Leather-face? Will this be "Children of the Corn"?
2. HITCHHIKERS? Is this even a good idea? Threads may also have a third participant. Go wild.
3. WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST HIT? Dude, I hear deer mess up cars... Or I think that was a deer...
4. DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS CAR AROUND. Alas. You're the parent or disgruntled friend who has had it up to here with all the fighting in the back. This thread may also have a third or even fourth participant, if you can wing it.
5. OMG, I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS LANDMARK! No, no, and no. You tell that person that they're going to be driven around and they're going to like it.
6. THE GREAT ESCAPE. Either dinosaurs or the moth-man is chasing you. Don't stop now.
7. MAKE OUT. For whatever reason, the person you're traveling with in the car. You would love to make out with them and then some.
II. Cuddles1. SWEET DREAMS. It's been a long day and all you want to do is sleep or just rest your eyes for a bit. Hopefully whoever is close by doesn't mind if you use them as a blanket.
2. STORMY WEATHER. The heavy rain, thunder, and lightning won't be letting up anytime soon. Luckily, it's the perfect weather to stay indoors and snuggle up close and keep warm.
3. SLOW DANCE. It's the end of a party, or maybe it's only the two of you, but the tempo is slow and the lights are low. Let your dance partner take the weight and just sway.
4. SURPRISE ATTACK. Time to invade someone's personal space. Are they working too much and need a distraction? Maybe you just wanted to brighten their day. Either way, they won't see it coming.
5. MOVIE NIGHT. It can be on the sofa or in a darkened theater, but you've got your popcorn and someone to settle against during your favorite movie.
6. I LOVE YOU, MAN. It's totally platonic, really. You're just very good friends, no matter what people like to think. But you just love your friend so much you want to hug them, whether they like it or not.
7. JEEPERS CREEPERS. Welp. You were just frightened. Was it a spider in the washroom, a ghost in the attic, a bad dream? Either way, you're looking for someone to cling to right now, and who better than that person right there?
8. HURT AND COMFORT. Whether you're sick in bed, just been dumped, or suffered a traumatic event, you need someone to wrap their arms around you and make everything go away.
9. SUNDAY MORNING. Maybe you just had a wild night. Maybe there's just not enough space at your place and you need to share your bed. Or maybe you just got really tired and someone else happened to be there. Doesn't matter because now the person with you looks way more comfortable than any blanket or pillow. Drape to your heart's content.
10. MOMENT AFTER. You just had incredible, vigorous sex and if you weren't a cuddler before, you are now. You're probably too exhausted to do anything else anyway. Just enjoy the moment.
11. PLAYER'S CHOICE. Pick one or make up your own!
III. Hurt/Comfort1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little paper-cut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though.
6. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to make up.
7. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
8. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheat on, abuse, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
9. LOSS. You've experienced a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
IV. Texts from Last Night1.Go here
2. Make Magic happen
V. Intimacy1. PHYSICAL INTIMACY. It might just be innocent touches or it might be foreplay.
2. LONG CONVERSATIONS. Honest words can be more intimate than touch.
3. DRUNK. You're over-sharing or simply maudlin.
4. FORCED INTIMACY. Magic. A truth serum, whatever - you didn't mean to bare your soul, but that is precisely what you're doing right now.
5. SLOW-DANCING. There is something inherently intimate about trusting someone else to lead you, and someone trust you to lead them.
6. OTHER. Intimacy can come in many forms. Pick your poison.
VI. SENTINEL GUIDEPrompts
oo1. The Meeting:
How did you meet? Was it at an event organized specifically for finding your other half? By accident? Did you follow a mystical calling to them? Some other way?
oo2. Rejection:
Sometimes Sentinels or Guides propose a match but it's just not perfect. You don't feel the pull or maybe you think there is someone better or maybe you're already claimed. Maybe you were claimed and someone better came along?
oo3. Protection:
Sentinels are meant to protect Guides, any Guides, but it's even worse when they feel their Guide is in danger. They go feral; blind to anything but stopping and killing whoever threatened their Guide or the bond. Maybe someone attacked your Guide or you haven't bonded yet and you feel threatened or maybe you're the one doing the threatening. Whatever the reason, Sentinels in a feral state are dangerous and only their Guides can stop them.
oo4. Lost:
Sentinels often lose themselves in their senses. Either you're a Sentinel who has lost themselves or a Guide that has stumbled on one or a friend trying to draw them out. Unbonded Sentinels will find it hard to escape without a Guide. Or maybe you're bonded already which means you just need yours to come home.
005. Persecution:
Sometimes normal people or the government fear the power of Guides and Sentinels. Guides are empaths, feeling the emotions and sometimes passing thoughts of others and it can make people feel violated. Sentinels often have enhanced strength, which can make them dangerous. So they scorn them, hurt them or in the case of governments, regulate them.
oo6. Old-School:
Guides used to be treated on the same level as slaves. Unable to work unless their Sentinel said. Not allowed out on their own. They used to wear collars and couldn't own land or inherit money. Maybe the old ways haven't completely fallen out of style.
oo7. Unbonded:
Nothing sucks more than being an unbonded Guide or Sentinel. Always looking for your other half to fill that empty feeling but you probably have friends that aren't your match or who are trying to set you up with someone. Maybe you're skeptical about the whole love at first sight thing and haven't been looking.
oo8. Wildcard: Some mish-mash of the above or anything else you can come up with!
Other Options
Don't like any of the above? Here are some other options:1. Picture Prompt: go here or any of your other favorite picture sites. Leave me a few pictures and I'll set something up.
2. Pick a prompt from this prompt tumblr or try googling OTP prompts
3. Insomnia! One or both of you can't sleep. Be awake together.
4. Leave me a scenario, lyrics, a word or a quote
no subject
I like the company better.
no subject
I like the company too.
no subject
[ it's endearing the way that he mouths the words to her and that tumbling, fluttering, falling sensation that he's so very good at causing in her takes over. She grins like an idiot as she holds his gaze, finally dipping her head. Emotions that she doesn't have words for fill her up to bursting and why didn't anyone ever tell her love was like this? Maybe they tried and she just didn't believe them. Her lips part as if she's going to say something, but everything sounds far too sappy even to her own ears. Instead, she looks up at him, tucking her hair behind one ear, struggling for breath and something that doesn't make her sound the way she feels: trapped in an amazing fairy tale. ]
Alright, Mr. Salvatore. What have you got planned next?
[ She thinks, but doesn't say, and can it involve kissing me]
no subject
[ As if he already doesn't know where he wants to be. Stefan knows that all fairy tales turn back into reality: Cinderella's glass slipper is left at the castle steps; Sleeping Beauty and Snow White wake up from their slumbers; and even the Little Mermaid turns to sea form. But until they have to confront reality - and frankly, Damon - they've got time to remain between the pages of a fairy tale. ]
no subject
[ She mock gasps at his suggestion. ] That's an awfully bold suggestion, but...it is one of my favorite rooms in the house, so I'll forgive you.
[ She slips off the chair and reaches for his hand.] Lead the way.
[ Is it any wonder that most people prefer the Disney versions? Elena may want a happy ending, but she knows that it might not be possible. She'll be content with happy right now, especially as happy right now is so very good.]
no subject
As you wish.
[ Happy is perfect. Happy means they get this moment to themselves, and while the world may come crashing down at their feet? He can at least tell the world that he's living with zero regrets. ]
no subject
He leads her up the stairs to his room, a room that she's seen many times before. Once they're inside, she turns around then finally to him. ] Alright, you've got me here, Salvatore. What are you going to do with me?
no subject
[ One of which he'll steal right then and there, if she'll let him. He briefly rests his forehead against hers, ] Then... I have plans that should probably wait a decent half hour.
no subject
[ She will definitely let him steal a couple of kisses or more. In fact, it's obvious that she delights in those kisses, returning them with a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth and sparkling in her eyes. He rests his forehead against hers and her hands come up to cup his face. That mischievous smile is back.]
Let me guess, swimming? I heard that was a myth, you know.
no subject
[ He says, like he's not an immortal vampire relishing in the mischievous smiles and little touches. It warms his icy-cold veins. (Not that, you know, he gets around it with ample amounts of caffeine pumping through his veins.) ]
Trust me. I'm gonna be good, and I'm gonna wait.
no subject
[ Hey, anything she can do to help. No, seriously though. She loves seeing him laugh and smile, having him flirt and tease her this way. ]
Well if you can wait, I can wait. [ She flounces (yes, flounces) over to his bed and plops down on her stomach, taking her phone out to scroll through, making a good show of pretending she's not impatient at all. ]
no subject
[ It takes him all of thirty seconds to regret this life choice, and before he really knows it, he's flopping right beside her and hastily tugging at his buttons to get his shirt off. ]
And what if I decided to change my mind?
no subject
Oh, I wouldn't want to compromise your beliefs, morals and stomach. There could be cramps.
no subject
My beliefs? I thought you were the one who didn't want to wait.
no subject
[ He really did. She lowers her phone just a bit to look at him. Her look could be mistaken for sincere by anyone who didn't know her, but there's a twinkle in her eyes and a laugh playing around the edges of that sincere set to her mouth. ]
Oh, I was. I am, but I'm going to be a good girlfriend and respect your boundaries.
no subject
[ He flops around, all dramatically like a Magikarp, before staring up at the ceiling and letting out the most dramatic of sighs. ]
Fiiiine. My boundaries are non-existent.
[ Stefan played himself - and he knows it - but he does try to be the good boyfriend.
If that means waiting and waiting, he'll do it. ]
You saw nothing!
[ Like when she wants to torment and annoy him.
He finally breaks and Elena tosses aside her phone with a laugh, leaning in to kiss him, her hands going to his bare chest. ]
darn right I didn't c:
A century and a half of experience should've made this second-nature, but he's clumsily fumbling a little more, as if it's the first time (or second!) all over again. ]
no subject
She likes that he fumbles a little, that he's not smooth and suave. She's certainly not smooth when it comes to this. Her heart pounds so wildly in her chest and her breath hitches a little. Her skin is too warm and Stefan is too far away. She remedies the last, at least, by moving closer to press against him, her mouth tasting his. As the kiss deepens, she gets a little earnest and accidentally bumps her teeth against his. She blushes. ]
Sorry. [ It's a chance to breathe though, which she's having a difficult time doing right now. ] I'm not--you're only the second person I've kissed. [ She admits it with a bit of an apology in her voice. She'd been head over heels in puppy love with Matt, but their relationship hadn't had any passion. It'd been nothing like this.]
no subject
But in this moment, he is a guy who likes a girl, and he laughs good-naturedly. This stumbling and nervous rush - it's to be expected. It means they like each other. No apology necessary, in his book. ] It's okay.
[ He pauses, furrowing his brow as he watches her catch her breath, ] Should - should we slow down? I can take it down a notch.
