WIP Game!
Rules: You will be given a word. Share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that start with each letter of that word.
Saw @wolfsbanesparks’s post about this and decided I may as well put all my google docs full of unfinished fics to use!
Word: HEART
H: Hal raised his hand and let his ring scan the image for a moment, but the ring couldn’t translate it. “Well, whatever language it is, it’s either a dead one or one that is isolated enough that the Green Lantern Corps doesn’t have any data on it.” He stated with a shrug. (From unnamed Billy Batson-centric fic)
E: Everything faded into the distance as her mind went blank. She could barely feel the rain that usually calmed her, that was supposed to calm her.
Her father was in Gotham.
Her father was in Gotham.
Her father. (From ‘A Childhood Defined By Violence’)
A: And when she wrapped herself in that blanket, it felt like it could shield her from the oppressive fluorescent lights that were nowhere near Duke’s warm glow, the looks people gave her that projected worry-annoyance-disgust-worry-worry that greatly contrasted the love-enjoyment-happy-curious-happy look in Damian whenever he was around animals. (From ‘A Childhood Defined By Violence’)
R: Relief flooded through Billy’s body. The fact that they thought he was just turned into a kid meant Billy could just go along with it and not technically lie. Though the relief faded away as he quickly remembered he couldn’t transform back. (From the unnamed Billy Batson-centric fic)
T: The urge to break-destroy-hurt-break-sob-break-break washing over her body as pure panic started to force her mindset into what she was raised to do.
To be violent. (From unnamed whumptober fic)
I haven’t actually got any released fics yet, so don’t expect any of these to come out for a long time (except the whumptover ones, but I dunno if I’ll have those done in time anyway.)
I don’t really know anyone who hasn’t already done this game, but if you haven’t done this yet and want to try or maybe you want to do it again;
Your word is: HANDY

"Today, on the news, we have a strange story at the least... An old hero from Japanese legend who faded out of stories perhaps twenty years ago has suddenly reappeared... In Paris."

"Take my hand we'll run down the roads that winds.
Always keep on, no man left behind.
Boys and girls bear blood of the samurai
And the pride of their lives gone by.
the dead of the nights the blossoms fill the sky
Though your voice calls and fighter I can't make out the cries.
Watch them bask in the feasts a prison o-f their greed.
Looking down we laugh upon the guillotine
the smothering dark will blot out all the stars
Though you Scream out your hearth I can't hear where you are
We are hurt but we dreams of skies we've never seen
So let's raise our guns and fire 'till we're free!"

"Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power on?
Well, let the drum beat drop.
Guess what! I'm not a robot.
Guess what! I'm not a robot."

Whumptober Day: 2
Our Whumpee is...
Leona!!!
(I didn't spin a wheel today I just chose Leona bc I'm projecting)
"They don't care about you"
Due being a very prestigious school, NRC doesn't have much time to spare. They have a lot of curriculum to get through.
This causes their break periods to only be a week at a time.
While most students see this as a con, to Leona it's the best part. The less time he spends in that stupid, stuffy, suffocating palace the better.
So when he was told be would be spending another two extra weeks at home he was not pleased.
Farena was the one who broke the news to him citing some random noble coming to visit.
"You're school doesn't mind so neither should you! School isn't fun anyways right?"
Leona snapped at him and threw him out.
Whenever Farena couldn't talk to Leona he sent father in. Which was worse.
Much worse.
Apparently he 'didnt value family' and 'was an ungrateful brat.'
"You've asked why you can't be a king this is why!
"Your friends will come and go they won't be there for you when you need them! One day you'll be dying and they'll let you. They won't even miss you! No one would miss a useless ungrateful brat!"
"They don't love you how family does."
"They don't care for you how family does"
"I doubt they care for you at all."
He was just an asshole. His words held no meaning heck, he barely even knew Leona.
But it still hurt
Leona sat there covering his face with his hands and breathing slowly. He wasn't crying. Crying was weak.
Leona was weak.
Who would care for a weak, Useless, Whiny, Ungrateful brat?
Authors Note:
Real conversation.
I really love Leona hes so me! Sorry this is late I was gonna do it yesterday but I fell asleep whilst doing homework. Like I woke up on the paper lol.
Whumptober Day: 1
As per the poll I spun a wheel!
And our Whumpee is...
Idia Shroud!!!
As for our other guy? (Whumper?)...
Ortho Shroud!!!
Fitting. (I originally got Neige but I dont think they've even met...)
(HC's as per the earlier poll but they will be a little story ish for angst reasons!!!)
Maintenance day.
(Safety Net/ Swooning/ "How many fingers am I holding up?")
Idia has made a habit of performing Ortho's maintenance on the first day of every month and well. Today's the day.
It's quite simple really. Even a genius like Idia doesn't have enough will power to perform complex maintenance every month.
Heck! Idia barely has enough will power to get up in the morning! (That's normal right?)
Regardless of Idia's lack of motivation he gets up to perform the maintenance on Ortho.
Orthos maintenance is easy. Just checking in on all of his systems and updating his databank. A few hours work but nothing that Idia can't handle.
Unless there's an unexpected variable.
An unexpected variable such as a virus
Idia notices a slight error in the code. Just one small error.
But then he notices another
And another.
And suddenly bright red warning signs are flashing all across his screen.
This can't be happening
Viruses are dangerous and even one minor slip-up can cause Ortho to malfunction and...
Idia looks up at where Ortho is standing.
He looks tired.
And then. He falls.
Idia runs over to catch him just in time before rushing to manually reset his code.
He needs to be careful. One wrong move and...
Idia can't afford to lose Ortho again.
And he will do anything to make sure he doesn't.
Authors Note:
Hi!!! sorry it's been a while Ive been really burnt out and busy with school but I'm back for Whumptober! I really hope this is good. It's not as headcanon-y as id like it but it's nearly midnight here and I gotta get this out on time! I'll be trying my level-best to be posting everyday in October.
Uhhhh How TF am I going to choose which character to do for the whumptober prompts? I'm indecisive help.
(the first prompt is Safety Net/ Swooning/ "How many fingers am I holding up?"
So the @whumptober thing was posted and I don't know if I should do headcanons, little drabbles, or like a character analysis centering around the prompt. Or a mix?
