DARKLINA BINGO 2023

Welcome to Darklina Server Bingo 2023! The 8 cards above were made by combining prompts submitted by server members for several different prompt categories.

Fill 5 prompts in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). You can fill all 5 in a single work, or across several works that you create. A "bingo" must be contained on a single card.

Anyone is welcome to play and share—whether you're in the server or not. But for server members, we have 3 additional NSFW cards on discord 👀

Feel free to @ us if you share a bingo creation on tumblr so we can reblog it!

FAQs

YES - You can fulfill squares on multiple cards with the same work!

YES - You can get multiple bingo's on the same card.

NO - Someone else getting a bingo does not retire the card! You can keep working on any card, even after it's been bingoed.

NO - You don't have to include all 5 squares in one work to get bingo. You can (and it'd probably be awesome!) but you can also do 5 works that fill only 1 square each if you wish.

YES - All ships and/or character-focused content is allowed!

YES - You can use a WIP started before the event to get a bingo square upon posting it!

YES- It can be an existing work, so long as the CHAPTER you post is within the window of the Bingo Event,

YES - If you have fulfilled a prompt but have not yet gotten a bingo with it, you can mark it off on other cards! HOWEVER Once you get a bingo with that prompt, you CANNOT keep marking it off on cards. If you want to count that prompt toward another bingo, you'll have to include it in another work!

Here is the ao3 collection where you can share your work. To distinguish your work from the ones from previous years, please use the tag: #Darklina Discord Server's Autumn Bingo Event 2023

Live where you fear to live

“I want you to be fearless,” Aleksander said, with the earnestness of a young man and the gravity of an elder; in any given moment, which was the real Aleksander, the most true? Alina couldn’t tell. “In this room, alone with me, if nowhere else in the world.”

“I don’t know what that would mean,” she said. She kept her hands folded in her lap, pressing them together to what, convince Aleksander she wasn’t out of her depth? “What it would look like.”

“It means you can ask me anything, without worrying that I will get angry or refuse to answer you. Or leave. It means you can tell me anything and know that I will listen, that my shadows will always welcome your light, that you can reveal yourself to me as quickly or slowly as you want,” he said. He walked over to crouch in front of the chair she sat in, looking up at her as if she were on a throne, an ikon to be worshipped. He laid a hand, very lightly, on her knee, reminding them both she was more than that to him. “It means I will always welcome the darkness in you as readily as the brilliance, that I will not let you burn or blind yourself if I can possibly help it—and if I cannot, I will tend to your hurts myself.”

“Why are you saying this?” Alina asked.

“No one I ever cared about said it to me,” he replied. “Not directly. No one was ever able to give me this and I wanted it so. I want it for you, so very much.”

“A Little Palace within the Little Palace,” she remarked. “A sanctum within the sanctuary.”

“A home,” he replied. “One that requires only our two hearts, two minds, two souls.”

“It sounds like merzost, the making at the heart of the world,” she said, but she put her hand on top of his and reached out with the other to touch his cheek, his temple. To stroke his hair in a caress that was tender and possessive, which she would not have tried before.

“Merzost has a cost that is paid most dearly, in a coin no one can ever imagine when they conjure it,” he said. “There is no cost here, moya dusha, only a gift I wish to give you.”

“Will you make the same promise to me, to be fearless? To tell me everything, anything, to ask for what you want,” she said.

“I will try,” he said, his eyes shining with tears.

“I want,” she began, breaking off, thinking of how she would say it. He waited, his patient silence coaxing her better than words. “I want you in my bed at night, I want to see your face when you sleep. And when I wake you up, I want your hands on me, the scent of your skin, the taste of you in my mouth—”

“Kurva,” he said quietly. “Yes,” he added, though she hadn’t said when or how.

“I want you to explain amplifiers to me, properly. I want you to let me decide what enough power is,” she said. He nodded.

“I want something impossible,” she said, warning him. Or daring him. He seemed to take it as the latter, his smile curved like a scythe.

“Tell me, my fearless girl, my beloved,” he said. She could see that what he said pleased him almost as much in the saying as in her own delighted response.

“I want Ivan to stop being so impatient with us,” she said. “Just because he and Fedyor have such a good marriage, doesn’t mean it’s that easy for everyone else.”

“I’m sorry, Alinochka” Aleksander said and he did sound genuinely sorry as well as amused and commiserating. “You have already found a desire I cannot gratify, though I share it, I most certainly do. Shall we begin with the others?”

Today's the day Everyone! It's Bingo Day!!

The Darklina Server Bingo will run from today through September 30th, but you're free to keep working off of prompts & cards after the event ends!

This year's Bingo event is different from last year's, so please do check the rules out! If you have a question you can ask it here on our server's tumblr page or, if you're in the server, you can ask on the server. Amended rules are posted on Ao3 and on tumblr so that people not on the server can participate. See below the cut for more details and the rules!

🚨 Rules 🚨

Please note, these rules have been slightly modified to remove server-specific language from them. If you’re a server member and you need to take a look at the full set of rules, please head over to the Bingo Rules channel.

1. START: We are starting with 6 Cards that are available for everyone's use, both on Tumblr and on the Discord. No one has ‘dibs’ on any one card. 2. WHAT COUNTS AS BINGO: Fill 5 prompts in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). You can fill all 5 in a single work, or across several works that you create. A "bingo" must be contained on a single card. 3. HOW TO GET "BINGO": Include the square's prompt in the work itself and tag it when you post it. The element should be a significant part of the story--not a passing mention. We are not going to pick through works; we can all agree to follow the honor system. 4. ANNOUNCE YOUR BINGO: If you’re not on the server and you get a “bingo” you can let us know on our tumblr page! You’ll be able to show off a photo of your bingo card, link to the work(s) that satisfied the bingo so folks can go read and enjoy them, and get back to creating! 5. HAVE FUN & PLAY TOGETHER If you need help thinking of ways to incorporate squares into a story, pulse a friend! Collaboration is allowed & encouraged. ❤️

Bingo!

“Sex pollen, Nina? Seriously? Isn’t that like ancient? Like from Kirk/Spock-slash-in-mimeographed-zines era old?” Alina asked, holding the bingo card in a pincer grasp to indicate her general skeeved-out-ness. Nina gave her a grin that was usually reserved for waffles and post-ski-post-sauna-Matthias, which Alina unfortunately knew after agreeing to share a ski-in-ski-out house when they were college sophomores because they were friends and roommates and Nina offered to pay Alina’s share of the rent in exchange for Alina making a double-batch of snickerdoodles. Inej took a big gulp of her White Russian and Zoya laughed.

“There’s a lot to be said for a classic, baby girl,” Zoya said, tapping her own card. “I’m personally more offended by the utter disrespect for Dune and the Bene Gesserit with the gom jabbar reference and also because the potential need for a tetanus shot is just not doing it for me.”

“I don’t even know what A/B/O is. It’s not blood types and vampires, is it?” Inej asked. “It doesn’t seem like a good idea to ask the interwebs. There might be stuff I couldn’t even unsee.”

“Yeah, it’s not blood types,” Nina said. “And you would probably need a dose of Versed if you Googled—”

“This is your weirdest bingo game ever, Nina,” Alina said. “Honeymooners is right on the same card as breathplay and tentacles—”

“Sun or shadow tentacles,” Nina interrupted.

“Tentacles are tentacles, Nina,” Zoya said.

“I thought we were going to play fuck-marry-kill for a while and then watch something terrible and delicious from the 80s like Lace,” Alina said. “I cannot even imagine what you told Matthias about tonight.”

“I didn’t tell him anything, just that you were all coming over and we were hanging out,” Nina said. “He might have maybe seen an open tab or two on my phone while I was making the bingo cards and turned a little green around the gills…”

“That’s why he agreed to work a double, isn’t it?” Inej said. “I could have swapped with Tamar, you know.”

“My advice is, never explain what Dead dove: do not eat means to him, especially the way you probably would, with a million examples,” Gen said. “He’ll go back to divinity school in a heartbeat and then where will you be?”

“I knew I left off priest!sex!” Nina exclaimed. “Fleabag really put that one back on the map, bless Phoebe Waller-Bridge.”

“Amen,” Zoya said, joined by Alina and Gen, Inej nodding along. Whatever they might disagree about, the glory that was Andrew Scott united them all in a moment of lustful appreciation. Then Alina’s phone buzzed and she looked down at it.

“C’mon, you said, you promised you weren’t going to be all lovey-dovey, joined-at-the-hip about Sasha tonight, not that it isn’t sweet, but I didn’t pick up a case of insulin with the vodka,” Nina complained mildly. Alina made a big show of turning off the phone and jamming it into her purse.

“Fine, fine. He was just telling me he won his Ebay auction, for those vintage amplifiers,” Alina said.

“That means you got the townhouse downcity, with the extra bedroom,” Inej said. “If you have space for those—"

“Yeah,” Alina smiled. “I wasn’t going to talk about it tonight because real estate gets so boring, but yeah. We got it, we close in six weeks.”

“That’s better than winning any sex-positive fanfic bingo card in the world, no offense, Nina,” Gen said.

“None taken,” Nina said. “I’ll let you in on a secret. I managed to get Lace and Lace II on Blu-ray, so we can ditch the bingo cards and settle in for some peak trashy TV.”
