Original/Fandom: Original
Prompt: snow

One should be careful for what they wish, for not only did the child have skin white as snow but her demeanour was icy, as bereft of compassion as the cold winter winds.

Original/Fandom: Original
Prompt: countdown

With a villainous laugh, he pressed the button, and began the countdown.

Original/Fandom: Original
Prompt: firefly

Alone, staring up at the night sky, with the stars shining like a million fireflies, she finally felt at peace with the world.

Original/Fandom: Original
Prompt: daybreak

That ghosts might indeed be real was a shock, and they stayed cuddled up under the bedcovers until the safety of daybreak.

Original/Fandom: Original
Prompt: compass

It probably hadn't been the best action to take, but he'd lost his moral compass a long time ago, and moving in any direction was better than standing still.

Original/Fandom: Original
Prompt: friendship

The email reminded him he wasn't alone, that he had people who cared, and sent a sliver of light into the darkness.

Original/Fandom: Original
Prompt: underworld

The cave entrance was dark and ominous and he could easily imagine that the tunnel beyond led directly the underworld.


Original/Fandom: Firefly
Prompt: role models

"I know they're not good role models," River said, as if reading Simon's mind, "but they are the ones we need right now."

Original/Fandom: Firefly
Prompt: proposition

Mal knew it could lead to trouble, but he couldn't help accepting Saffron's latest tantalising proposition.

Hobbes had given up on taking orders after leaving the military and becoming a mercenary, but he'd gladly follow wherever Erica lead.

Original/Fandom: Legend of the Seeker

AWESOME shorts!!!

[meridian_rose]

Thank you very much :D

Ooh, lovely :D

I especially like the first one and the compass one. And the Once Upon A Time lawyer one made me giggle, even though I haven't seen that show.

Also LOL at Zedd's persimmon covered eyebrows :)

[meridian_rose]

Thank you :D I try to cover serious and cracky because it's hard to squeeze anything like a fic into one sentence fifteen times and some variety is probably as welcome to readers as it is to me!

I'm not sure I'm quite as pleased with this compass prompted one as the previous story I wrote but I'm very glad you liked it - the idea of interpreting the prompt as a 'moral compass' appealed to me here. And lol, yes the universal distrust of lawyers by non-lawyers goes beyond OUAT!

There's probably a story about how Zedd became covered in persimmon :D Powerful Magic

I like 'snow', 'compass', 'underworld', LOLOLOL I love 'lawyer', naturally, I adore 'pirates', and 'order', awwwwwww, I ship Erica/Hobbes. :D
Super short stories are so cool! :D

[meridian_rose]

Thanks! I know 'snow' made me think about my abandoned Eirwen wip - I still think I did a better job with 'compass' last time but I'm glad this one is popular! LOL, yes Mr Gold fic :D Glad you liked pirates :D I haven't written 'V' since Christmas so it was fun to revisit it, and one of my favourite ships.
