#five sentence ficlet

For a pairing: Draco/Harry?

"You can't possibly be serious, Draco," Heir Theodore Nott says, his voice full of censure as he stares at the pendant necklace swinging from Heir Draco Malfoy's fingers.

"I couldn't possibly be more serious," Draco replies smugly as he twirls the necklace, waiting for his quarry to descend the stairs so that he can offer it; the traditional first courtship gift offered by a Malfoy is a pendant necklace.

"He's going to throw it back in your face and refuse," Conte Blaise Zabini states.

Heir Harry Potter steps off the staircase and into the Entrance Hall, sandwiched between Miss Hermione Granger and Mister Ron Weasley, and immediately raises a hand to catch the necklace when Draco throws it at him with a, "Potter, catch!"

The smirk that spreads across Draco's face is unholy when he turns it on his best friends, purring, "Told you," with wicked relish as Harry howls with laughter and dons the necklace, the pendant of which states: Property of Heir Draco Malfoy.

Originally written for a five-sentence ficlet prompt on CuriousCat. Anonymous sent: "It has been a year and three months," and kylux, please.

"Is that right?" Hux sniffed, nose in the air. "How many days, then, if you've been keeping count?"

"A year, three months, five days, and," Kylo checked his watch, "two hours."

Hux stared at him for a long moment, then scowled. "It's been three hours," he began, but then Kylo was on him, kissing him everywhere, face and neck and ear and mouth, and he said "I knew you were counting too," and Hux couldn't keep from wrapping his arms around Kylo's neck.

“Do you think, that maybe in another universe, we would’ve grown old together?” The words were whispered quietly into the air between you and the blonde, your heart breaking as you took the sight of her in as the silence grew.

You watched closely as Leah swallowed hard, her eyes meeting yours for only the briefest of seconds before they darted elsewhere, anywhere but at you, and you cursed mentally as you found yourself absolutely smitten with the way the white suit rested so elegantly on her frame.

“…Maybe, yeah…maybe...in another life, perhaps,” the words were followed with a small shrug, a wince accompanying the action as the skipper looked at the ground.

Feeling your eyes starting to sting, you nodded at her words, your own escaping softly as you took a step back slowly, then another, slowly backing away before she could see you break.

“Yeah, maybe in another life…congrats again, I- I wish you two the best, I really do."

"He's gonna sell it all 'cause he's Danny Phantom"

that's so fucking funny, i hate how much i love this!! i have made it way too long, rip to my five sentence rule - there's such a goldmine of content here lmao

👻

"I'd say it's been going on for... about a month now?"

"Two months," Sam interrupts. "It started just after your parents came in, remember?"

"Oh, Ancients, yeah, them. I can't believe I forgot that."

"Yeah, dude, it's thanks to them that this all started!" Tucker's practically vibrating in his chair, far too cheerful about the whole thing.

"Yeah," Danny sighs, looking directly into the camera. "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Thank you very much."

"Danny's parents are ghost hunters, which, as you can imagine, got Michael very excited. And very into ghosts. He accused Meredith of haunting him the other day, now he keeps spraying her with holy water and yelling 'Begone, foul spectre!' He's really taken a liking to Danny's parents."

"Can't imagine why."

"Yeah, and then—then—" Tucker dissolves into laughter, wheezing as he tries to catch his breath. "Then he brings in that personal trainer! In her yoga pants and crop top, with a pilates ball and everything! Sends her over to—to see Meredith, and then—oh Ancients—then when the woman leaves and Meredith is still there, he locks himself in his office and blasts the Lord's Prayer!"

"We think he mispelt exorcist. Hired someone in exercise instead."

"Exorcists are all phoney, anyway! And PTs are only slightly less phoney, so make sure you do your research and get someone that actually knows what they're doing before you commit, kids." Danny says, pointing down the camera. "That's how I got so jacked."

Both Sam and Tucker share a look before bursting into even more laughter. With a soft smack on his arm, Sam can't help but tease, "Please, you're 5'4" and look like you'd break your arm if you ever picked up a ream of paper. No wonder your sales are so low."

"Wow, that's so rude. I can't believe you'd do me like that. I'm 5'4 and a half, thank you."

"That's right, babe, and we love you for it."

Their laughter peters out and the trio slowly pull themselves upright in their chairs, remembering the cameras and the story they're meant to be telling.

"Honestly, thanks to these guys, the past few weeks have been a nightmare."

"Now who's being rude? At least this is one of those fun nightmares that you can laugh about later."

"Nope, this is a normal nightmare that everytime you think you've woken up from, you get back to work and see your boss dressed up in a hazmat suit that your parents sent him and realise that actually, maybe the real nightmare was the work colleagues you made along the way."

"Oh. Yeah, that sounds about right, sorry, Danny."

Tucker puts him on the shoulder and stays silent for a grand total of five seconds before turning back to the camera with an ecstatic grin on his face and a deep breath.

"Anyway, everytime one of us goes into Michael's office, we sneak something off his desk and blame ghosts. Sam's hidden some speakers in the ceiling that play recordings of her crying on a timer."

"I should have been an actor. I also got some of the warehouse guys in on it, so everytime Michael goes down there they'll throw a box or two around and make some ghostly moans. Didn't even ask why, they just agreed."

Sam's back to looking very proud of herself. Danny's back to cradling his head in his hands.

"Is that why Boxy's been about lately? Guys, seriously? I need to sleep!"

The only answer he gets is a shrug as Tucker turns back to the camera.

"Oh, and I've also installed a script on his computer so that whenever he types the word 'ghosts'—or 'goats', again, he's not really great at typing—his screen starts getting all staticky and closes down. He shrieks everytime, it's so funny!"

"I wonder if he'll go with a different PT to exercise his office next?"

"We should suggest P90X—your office ghost free in three months or your money back!"

Sam and Tucker are both burst into laughter, sinking deeper into their chairs as Danny just shakes his head. It takes a solid minute for the two to calm down, and more than one pointed question from the producer to get them back on track.

"Where's it going? Does it really have to go anywhere? Can't the joy of the bit be destination enough?"

"I wish it would go away," Danny groans, still not lifting his head. "I get enough of ghost hunting in my free time, I don't need it here, too."

"I've changed Danny's employee file to list him as deceased just to see how long it takes Michael to notice."

"Seriously? Tucker, really? That's—"

"Genius, Tuck. And then we can be all: 'Michael, what are you on about? Danny's been dead for three years!' I can't wait to see his face!"

"You guys know that Dwight's going to actually try to end me if he finds out, right? Pretty sure Dad slipped him a Fenton blaster before he left."

"You know what they say," Tucker says, grinning directly down the camera, "'Gaslight, Ghost them, Get pranked, boss!'"

‘Mooooony,’ Harry’s wails echo through the house and Remus can’t help a sigh from escaping his lips. ‘Help me with my homework!’

‘What’s the magic word, Harry?’

‘Accio?’

‘Don’t be cheeky, you know what I mean.’

‘That’s the magic word you use all the time!’ Remus looks at Harry without blinking in the way he does to convey how little of Harry’s shit he is going to take. ‘Help me with my homework, please?’

‘Now that’s a polite boy,’ he smiles and with a flick of his wand puts away all the work papers previously scattered on the dining table. ‘What’s it, this time?’

Harry climbs onto his chair and sits on both knees to make himself taller. ‘French.’

‘Ah, Padfoot was always better at that,’ Remus mutters, chewing his lip and thinking hard in an attempt to remember the rules and lexicon he had looked over with Harry before. He only comes back to reality when Harry speaks, curious green eyes looking up at him.

‘What’s a Padfoot?’

I wanted to play, but didn't had any good sentences in head so:

"Eddie is dating again, and Buck is perfectly normal about it"

Eddie is dating again, and Buck is perfectly normal about it.

He's being so, so, so normal about it, actually. Like, if there were a contest of the most normal and chillest people in the world, Buck would totally win that shit.

Seriously, so fucking normal.

Except, well—

Maybe he's freaking out.

Just the tiniest, teeny little bit.

And maybe, sort of, kinda drove to the same restaurant Eddie is having dinner with his date on.

And maybe he's trying really hard not be seen right now.

And maybe, perhaps, he's regretting some life choices that led him here in the first place.

But other than that, he's being super normal.

Send me an ask with the first sentence of a fanfic and I’ll write the next five.

For the fic ask—-

Do you think about that sometimes?

"Do you think about that sometimes?" Anakin asked, as the two of them looked out over the moon of Endor, invisible to all except Luke (but it was Luke who mattered most, really).

"How our lives - heavens, how the world - would be different if we had never met? Well, yes, occasionally," Obi-Wan admitted.

"And?"

"You may be responsible for half the gray hairs on my head, my brother, and there were times, out in the desert, when I doubted...but now that we are here...I would never wish not to have met you, Anakin."

It’s not that Alex wanted to be up this early, believe him he would love to be able to sleep in for once.

And the Greater Polyphantoms Polycule?

It’s not that Alex wanted to be up this early, believe him he would love to be able to sleep in for once.

It's just that Grammy noms come out at the crack of dawn, and with Flynn on the other side of the country with Carrie to promote her fashion line, Alex was the one elected to get everyone up to watch in case they got a nomination.

Willie was first, given he was sharing a bed with him the night before, and usually an early bird. All it took was a few kisses and he was up making coffee while Alex dealt with the other three.

Thankfully the boys were curled around Julie like a pile of codependent puppies, so that meant he didn't waste precious time searching.

Julie was easy to wake up, wave a mug of coffee under her nose and she was a pretty easy riser-even if you weren't allowed to talk to her until she had drained that first cup.

Luke was a restless sleeper as it was, and deprived of his favourite teddy bear-aka Julie, he snuffled awake soon after, blinking up at Alex with a confused expression on his face.

"Surprised you fell asleep with what day it is," Alex said wryly.

Luke leapt out of bed at that, demanding to know if the ceremony had started, running around manically until Julie sat him down with some calming tea and his guitar. "You've got about twenty minutes, it's okay mi vida," Julie assured him.

"Which might be how long it takes for us to get Sleeping Beauty up," Willie joked, pointing at the still slumbering Reggie.

Reggie was a notoriously heavy sleeper, usually needing several alarms to even get him close to drowsy and not log like. Alex often envied him that ability, especially on the tour bus, where Alex usually dozed more than anything.

"Hey Reg, wake up, we got trophies to collect!" Luke yelled, bouncing on the chair.

"Luke, chill. Drink your tea man," Alex cautioned. "You'll burn out before they get to us at this rate."

Willie took Luke aside for some meditation and breathing while Julie went down to the kitchen to make food. Leaving Alex with Rip Van Winkle.

He knew shaking Reggie would never work, and though he was tempted, tossing water on him would only earn Julie's ire since it was her bed. So Alex went for his tried and true approach-tickles.

Reggie squirmed awaked, giggling, batting Alex's merciless fingers away after a few minutes, glaring at the drummer. "Man Lexie, what gives?"

"Luke was about to vibrate out of his skin if you didn't get up in time for the Grammy noms," Willie supplied.

"Oh shit, I knew I was supposed to set an alarm for something," Reggie said with a snap of his fingers, then leapt out of bed, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

None of them knew how he did that either.

The rest of the morning was a blur of celebrations, phone calls, interviews, and a whole lot of screaming.

But they were all passed out in Julie's oversized bed by mid afternoon, and Alex already called not it for next time. And every year after that-of which there would be many.

Everyone declared that was more than fair before drifting off into sleep, cuddled together, already dreaming of glory and just where to put all their new statues.

For FSF can you please write unhinged fem Harry Potter and tom riddle/voldemort. Maybe someone hurt someone close to her and she takes revenge on them and voldemort is just happy to encourage his wife and giving her pointers on the best method.

The Dark Lady Hecate swans into the meeting her lord-husband, The Dark Lord Voldemort, is overseeing, her ebony robes so blood-soaked that not even the dark fabric can disguise it; a trail of red drops follows her as she walks through their parted Death Eaters before seating herself on the throne beside her lord-husband's.

"My lady," Voldemort purrs, his carmine eyes alight with avaricious hunger.

Hecate leans her chin on her left land, the Resurrection Stone ice-cold against her skin where it's mounted in the ring Voldemort used to propose to her, and turns her cutting gaze to their First Vassal as she states, "Theo is avenged, Theodred."

Heir Theodore Nott is her closest, dearest, most precious friend, and if that pureblood wretch had wanted to live, she shouldn't have broken his heart.

As Lord Theodred Nott expresses his gratitude, her lord-husband leans over and hisses, "You are never more beautiful than when you're bathed in blood, my love."

Ren just looked at him, inscrutable as always behind his mask. After a long moment Armitage gave up, sighed, and tried to twist away, but there was no space; his pelvis ground up against Ren's, and he froze. "This is intolerable," Armitage seethed, willing his face not to go completely red.

It was at that moment Ren finally decided to speak; his voice crackled, amused, through the vocoder in his helmet. "You seem to be tolerating it just fine," Ren said, and with horror Armitage realized that not only did he have a semi, but it was pressed up against Ren's thigh.

“Would you love me even if this goes wrong?” 

It’s the terrified look in your eyes, accompanying the words so precariously, so timidly that has Leah nodding in ‘yes’ quickly, easily, simply because it was the wholeheartedly truth and nothing less. 

“I love you no matter what…football or not, as long as it’s me and you…”

Words followed by a gentle kiss on your forehead, she wiped your tear-stained cheeks and shot you the most confident smile she could muster, the sight of you in a hospital gown with a bloodied leg, bone nearly showing, not the idea place to be making this commitment.

Squeezing Leah’s hand once more as you swallowed nervously, you closed your eyes as you took in her words, shakily breathing in before nodding to the nurse, your grip on Leah faltering as you’re wheeled away for the next four hours.

For that first sentence ask game: "I didn't realize this drink came with strings and the watchful eye of Big Brother, Bagman."

[send me the first sentence (and a pairing), I'll write the next five (5)]

"I didn't realize this drink came with strings and the watchful eye of Big Brother, Bagman."

Hangman looks slightly pained when she looks back at him across the hightop bar table, and Natasha realizes belatedly that she’s being maybe a little mean to the guy who just helped her dispatch a bigger dickhead just by suggestive hand placement and a too-friendly ‘Can I help you?’ But it’s the principle of the matter—she’s plenty lethal herself; she doesn’t need Hangman’s flinty gaze to do her dirty work for her—so she doesn't feel too bad about it.

“I think those strings came when you started kissing him voluntarily, Phoenix,” Bob offers helpfully from beside her. 

“You could be a little nicer to your boyfriend,” Rooster piles on, because he’s a piece of shit.

Natasha turns back to Hangman, tilting her head at him to see if he has any words of defense now that the damsel in distress is him, and not her, but all he has to say for himself—like the illiterate fool he definitely isn’t—is, “Please don’t call me your brother.”

So happy I discovered you through the sentence prompts.

Mine: “You underestimate my power.”

"You underestimate my power."

Alex laughs, then immediately stops laughing at the look on Pez's face. "You can't be serious."

"Do you know, strumpet, for once in my life I am. I know you have your ways of convincing Henry to do things, but I have something you don't have at your disposal."

"Oh yeah, what's that?"

"Embarrassing childhood stories."

Ramiro/Ángel 46

46 - Family

"Do you miss your family?"

The question is asked far too casually to be anything less than practiced; Ramiro knows Ángel well enough to know that he tries to pass off worries as casual thoughts that just occurred to him. He'd find it sweet that Ángel cared about that if the question didn't dig up the fact that Ramiro would never see them again, that he would be traveling an ocean away and would never be able to return to visit them in the future. His aging mother, his two sisters and their husbands and children... they were all but lost to him now, and there was nothing that could be done to change that or ease that particular pain.

"Let's talk about something else," Ramiro says quietly, and he doesn't miss the way guilt flickers across Ángel's face for the briefest of moments.

#1899 #otp: you came back #my original idea for this ficlet was about maura creating the simulation for her family and ramiro fighting back to protect his (ángel) #but it was too much for five sentences! #so have some general angst as they travel to the kerberos!

For the next 5 sentences ask: Mick kept his eyes on the road, diligent for speed traps and the pigs that hid in them, but registered movement to his right, and then heard the click of the tape deck.

Mick ignored it, forcing himself to stay focused on the tarmac stretching out ahead, into the darkness. That's what Leonard Snart would do; he'd stick to the plan, refuse to let himself be goaded into a reaction; he'd survive, right till the end.

You're willing to sacrifice our love...

In the coolest, most rational voice he could manage, Mick said, "Play that song one more time, and the Rogues are gonna have to bail me out of the Portage County jail for actual fucking murder."

Sighing, Len reached out and turned off the tape, while Mick made a triumphant little noise and went back to enjoying his turn at the wheel in peace. The lakeside cabin was only ten miles away now, and he was looking forward to his cosy weekend with Len - without interruption from Len's narcissistic background musical choices.

Give me the first sentence of a fic and I'll write the next five sentences (sometimes six if I get stuck and need one more)

Dipper x janna

Eyes part 3 word :curse

I actually didn't write part 3 of this fic, mostly because I try not to do more than one direct continuation of a particular fic because I don't want to write a story in three sentence chunks. (At that point, I typically only continue them as part of an exchange or a thank you or a giveaway or whatnot. Sometimes an idea will get into my head and I'll write something, but I've been beating those ideas back with a stick because I am desperately trying to finish up some of my ongoing WIPs.)

However, there's plenty that can be done with 'eyes' and 'curse' as a prompt, so.... Have another take on the idea. Variations on a theme are always fun, aren't they?

-|-

Janna blinked, but the apparition—seemingly little more solid than a fading rainbow and just as translucent—did not obligingly vanish; instead, the girl grinned as she noticed Janna’s gaze and rose from her makeshift seat on the edge of the tombstone.

“I’d say welcome to the club,” she drawled, “but you don’t want to be part of this club, because the benefits stink more than Dipper’s feet in the morning.”

Janna glanced at Dipper, who was completely oblivious to all of this as he frowned down at the page of his spell book, and was about to open her mouth to ask questions when the ghostly girl continued, “We’ve got three days before the curse claims you and you stop seeing remnants and fade to join me in limbo, but I want to get out of it and back to you guys before that happens, so I’ll start by telling you what didn’t work for me and then we can figure out how to tell Dipper I’m not any more dead than Grunkle Ford ever was.”
