Nostalgia Writing Prompts
writing prompts to evoke nostalgia
a collaboration with @theluckywizard and @exalted-dawn-drabbles. thanks!
a childhood blanket
a nursery rhyme
old clothes that no longer fit
a home-cooked meal
meeting an old friend
the smell of a character's parents' home
an old portrait
a long-standing grudge
a long-standing prank war
finding items thought lost while cleaning
telling stories by the fire
coming home for a visit
a years old scar
comfort food
visiting an old haunt
seeing someone who looks exactly like an old friend but isn't
sibling in-jokes
an old favorite song
an old hated song
childhood pets
holiday gatherings
giggling underneath the covers
parents fussing over their adult chlidren
embarrassing baby stories
climbing into a loved one's bed after a nightmare
waking up to the smell of cooking
hitting one's head on the same low-hanging beam
marks on the wall that marked your growth
passing on a beloved object to the next generation
finding an old secret stash
doing chores the way a character's parents taught them
coming back to find nothing has changed (except for character)
timeworn decorations
an object thought unimportant kept as a treasure
the same weather as for an event in one's youth
receiving heirlooms
stargazing
a tune you almost forgot
the same spot in the floor still squeaks years later
bedsharing with family
borrowing your parents' clothes
Codex: Letter Recovered from a Venatori's Corpse
Quest Unlocked: Notes of the Nightingale
[A well-loved letter. It appears to have been opened and read countless times by the recipient with the numerous amount of creases on the paper.]
Princess,
You need to train those blighted ravens of yours better, give them more treats or whatever. Or throw them further. I don’t know. I know we’re far out west but you have to do something. I bet you’re already done with your business in the Free Marches by the time you get this letter, since I only got yours an entire half year after you sent it.
Dumb birds.
might try to ham out really short oneshots or just little blurbs or something for leliana/marjolaine to try and feel out their relationship + marjolaine in general for my other fics

a/n: a different kind of wip this time, it's with my inquisitor hissera adaar, over my warden! :)
tw/cw: none
--------------
Her internal dialogue paused as she heard without seeing a mortal approaching with footfalls Purposely heavy. Not a threat. Instead, a dim candle in a dark room that no light could Hope to escape. A light so small even the smallest of winds could snuff it out. Flickered, flicker, flickering…
Ah.
“Greetings, Spymaster Nightingale.” Hope said, not pulling her focus from the flora. “May I help you with something?”
“Inquisitor.” The Nightingale greeted in turn. “Not with anything new, no, but you are late for our weekly meeting.”

content warning
drugs that make a character woozy and disoriented. slurring words and falling slack, everything too heavy and confusing and muffled
blown pupils, wandering eyes, breathing too much or too little. sweating, shaking, puking, so limp and pale it’s almost like they’re dead
fevers so high a character's mind just turns to mush. glossy eyes tracking the ceiling, listless and unaware until eventually there's sweat sticking all over the sheets and they start mumbling some vague responses to caretaker's questions
tranquilizer dart that brings a character down all at once. one sudden jerk or look of confusion, not enough time to glance at it much less pull it out before eyes are rolling back and they collapse into the dirt
tranquilizer dart that comes on slowly. pulling it out and running and running until each step becomes too uncoordinated, stumbling or getting dragged along by a teammate until even their begging to stay awake, let's go, becomes hazy and distant
struck so hard that everything rings in one ugly roar. staggering or falling, told to sit down, just stay down. so confused and lost, repeating the same questions and forgetting the answer over and over and over again
character so messed up they struggle to follow any part of the conversation. everything too heavy and confusing and muffled, just useless and incoherent and completely oblivious to the situation
nervous prodding or pleading by caretaker, begging them to just stay awake or focus
jostled around by captor, told to get the fuck up and follow orders, easily manhandled around and restrained
mumbling nonsense and spilling secrets. stoic characters without any masks, so confused and broken and vulnerable, slipping and powerless in every sort of way
"you're okay, i promise you're okay"
“ah, shit. you’re a mess—”
“I guess you won’t remember this anyways…”
gaze drifting and blank, too faraway to track anything caretaker/captor is saying. nudged and prodded and pleaded at to no avail, just incoherent and out of it
too weak to move. beaten absolutely senseless or bleeding all over the place, a character just hurting and spent beyond means and sprawled flat against the ground
getting dragged along or stepped on, pinned down as if they're in any state to go anywhere
hypnotized and stunned into mindlessness. repeated mantras and rewired thoughts, a character made pliable and blank and used like a puppet
paralyzed but fully aware, left slack and useless and desperate with limp muscles and depressed breathing. assumed dead and abandoned, grieved over or dumped aside like a corpse, forced to watch and unable to do anything
poisoned and just getting worse and worse. teammates desperately looking for a cure while character deteriorates, puking and passing out and getting high fevers, hallucinating and begging for relief
characters taken out of commission when they're otherwise the strongest one. exposed to a weakness, given magical restraints or cuffs with neural suppressors to keep them docile, targeted and taken out
vertigo taking a character side to side, brought down and useless
Desperate Dialogue
"Please, don't leave me alone!"
"I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate."
"There is no other option."
"I don't know what else to do."
"Tell me what to do and I'll do it."
"Please, I really need your help."
"I need you in my life!"
"This is extremely important for me!"
"I'm desperate, I really need this!"
"Just play along, please!"
"No, no, no, please no!"
"I will do whatever it takes!"
"Please, just hear me out!"
"Stay with me, please!"
"You hear me? I love you!"
"Come back, right now!"
"No, no, don't leave me here!"
"I can't do this any longer, I just can't!"
"What can I do to make you believe me?"
"I'm desperate, ok? Please, just help me this once."
"I need to show them that I'm serious about this!"
"We won't make it out of here if we don't work together!"
"The moment you turn around, our deal is done!"
"I really need you to do this for me."
"You can't leave me, I won't allow it!"
