Taking in strays is, all in all, an understandable vice. The dips in between their ribs, those large and forlorn eyes, they can help you forget the claws and the teeth and the danger lurking beneath fur. But the habit's a knife edge; your efforts may not be rewarded with kindness (animal instincts aren't discretionary) and you may get bit despite what you've overlooked. A stray doesn't care about pity. All it can know is survival.

These warnings apply to strays of the more human(oid) sort, too.

But what may even more perilous with this type than any drawn blood is what you can get when they grow to trust you. You can earn their undying loyalty...or their love. Either from such a wild thing is a precarious path to go down, if you allow yourself to do it.

Hey, y'all! I'm still awake and online, so here's a relatively early pinch hit for Tuesday. ♡

Today's theme is "X words of Y." In your prompts, please specify a word count (let's go with any number from 50 to 500) and a genre, trope, situation, emotion, radical AU theme, form of relationship, time of day, event/activity, writing format... Y'know, anything like that. Try to keep the prompts short and sweet! For fills, use whatever word counting method you like!

Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get things started...
+ DC comics, any Gotham resident +/ any, 150 words of outsider POV
+ Resident Evil (game/CGI 'verse), any playable character +/ any, 300 words of interaction over comms
+ author's choice, any +/ any, 250 words of a "different first meeting" AU

We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word! comment_fic

My hair is no longer washed out color and grey. The bad news I'm 98% sure someone put black cherry dye in my violet box. Because this sure as shit ain't purple (and this is a brand and color I use often) but it IS definitely cherry red. Eye rolls. Still better than it was.

I'm 100% over everything.

At least the majors did well on the label the organs exam.

And I did get my holter monitor UPSed off.

We decided as a group we're going to do water aerobics next monday by ourselves. That feels good. I need this pool time

I'm thinking of not doing

intoabar this time but I keep reminding myself it DOES NOT have to be a freaking epic.

I got a disappointing email today. They canceled the writing contest/anthology for the Bourbon City Steampunk fest. I was the only applicant. Awww. They said I could do a reading if I want. I'll put that back on them. If they want me to fill that slotted time with a reading I sure can. If not, that's fine too. I won't be disappointed not to have to read. I am sorry there won't be a paying anthology though. But who knows this could be a networking opportunity for me.

It's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is # A song that reminds you of your favorite season. Boy I read that wrong. I thought it said all seasons. Ah well. Share my friends, share

( There is one that easily comes to mind )

here's the whole prompt list

1. I got my hair cut this morning. It's been about six weeks instead of the usual four because four would have been when we were in Japan, and she didn't have any (convenient for me) openings last week. I actually didn't mind the length it had gotten to, but I went ahead and set my next appointment for four weeks anyway.

2. I worked from home today and am considering working from home every day this week except Friday, as I really don't have anything requiring me to go in. I had multiple snuggle sessions with Jasper today, which is a pretty good reason to stay home, IMO!

3. Tuxie was out in the cat house this morning. I'm always so happy to see him using it.

This week is a sticker from Sunset Road's "Celestial Cottagecore" designs.

This was a decent week. I ended it feeling better than when it started; I started the week feeling like I was struggling against a cloud of depression, just not really wanting to do anything. Feelings improved as the week went on, and ended up feeling fairly good about what we did: happy that we went out on decent walks/hikes on both my days off, I did almost everything on my to-do list, I got quite a bit of reading done.

Goals for the week:

I did call my insurance company (supposedly my referral to dermatology will be fine)
I did finish reading Be the Sea
I worked on my reviews
I did not work on my reading page
I did clean up my plushie baskets, at least a bit
I dusted my small bookshelf
We went to a fundraiser for my old high school at a local ice cream place
I watered my plants
We went and got crickets
I started reading Return of the King
I paid our car insurance
