Announcement!

Tl;dr: On June 24, 2017, this blog will stop posting daily prompts.

Hey all! On June 24th, 2016, we mods embarked on a mission to provide daily writing/art/roleplay prompts to the Black Butler fandom. We’d guess some of our prompts have made you smile. We suspect quite a few have left you scratching your heads. But most of all, we hope a couple have inspired you to explore a new story, to make a new contribution to this fandom.

Due to assorted personal reasons, we will stop regularly posting prompts after our one-year anniversary. We intend to keep this blog up, so this fandom can look back at our 365+ prompts and use them for inspiration in the future. And if we come up with an idea that we just have to share with you, we might just make a prompt for it.

On another note, if you took one of our prompts and ran with it to make fic/art/something else, please shoot us a link! We’d really love to see what you’ve come up with.

Thank you for following us, sending us your ideas and one-word prompts, and just generally being enthusiastic Kuro fans.

Kuro-prompts out.

We have officially posted our last daily prompt. Farewell!

Prompt: How I Met Your (Other) Dad

Modern AU prompt.

Sebastian Michaelis was a total playboy back in high school. He slept with anyone he wanted, and one day it finally comes back to bite him, when one of his ex-conquests turns up on his doorstep with a baby girl in her arms and telling him that she was his responsibility now.

Fast-forward ten years, and Sebastian is up to his neck in work, trying to keep them both afloat. He doesn’t have time for friends, or lovers, or time for himself. He only has time for work, and little Sieglinde.

One morning on his way to take Sieglinde to school, he’s so exhausted by work, he runs a red light and gets into a minor accident with a motorcyclist. A motorcyclist who just happens to be his daughter’s new class teacher. And the most beautiful man he’s ever seen in his life.

Even with his work schedule and raising Sieglinde, he makes five minutes (morning AND afternoon) to better get to know Mr. Ciel Phantomhive.

Bonus points if little Sieglinde picks up on their chemistry, and starts making ‘innocent’ little comments about the two of them when its just the three of them in the room.

Prompt: Just Two Monsters

When the Shinigami finally catch up to him, Undertaker finds himself jailed in hell on earth.

When the contract is complete, Sebastian finds himself full, and yet emptier than ever. The demonic pride that had sustained him for millennia shatters.

And so Sebastian slinks into Undertaker’s lonely cell. The ex-reaper tries to send him away, but he simply refuses to go.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Prostheses

After the accident, Doctor Blanc must use the marvels of modern medicine to piece Drocell back together, systematically replacing flesh and bone with plastic and metal.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Curry Buns?

Depict Agni and Soma’s existence post-canon-- 1st-season anime canon. How do they throw their strength into rebuilding London? Can they stop the flow of tears with smiles and curry buns?

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Mistaken Assumption

‘I don’t know how to tell you this, but I’m just not into the whole cat-boy thing.’

‘...but you love cats!’

‘They’re my babies, not a kink!’

‘So, you don’t find the ears or the tail attractive?’

‘I’m afraid I’m getting nothing from this but the urge to mother you. And I’m sure that’s not what you want from your husband, is it?’

Modern AU prompt. Ciel tries to spice things up with Sebastian in the bedroom, only to have things hilariously backfire.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Les Miserables AU

Either they are playing the characters in the musical, or they replace/are the characters in the story! You can guarantee it would be hella dramatic and hella angsty, and it’s especially fun for pairings! However, whichever character is which is up for interpretation.

Thanks to @danielfenturd for this submission!

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: ‘...the things I do for love.’

Crossover prompt with the HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’.

Edward Midford has always loved his sister, Elizabeth, and she has always loved him. He would do anything for her, and anything to ensure their secrets are not discovered...including pushing little Ciel Phantomhive from the window of a decrepit tower in Winterfell.

Bonus points if Alois is Joffrey Baratheon.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Tattoo Parlor/Flower Shop

A Cielizzie tattoo parlor/flower shop AU. Bonus points if Lizzie’s the one with the tattoo parlor.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Ciel's daughter

What would Ciel be like as a dad to his five year old daughter? May I add she’s an “exact” copy of her father; grey-ish blue hair and beautiful blue eyes.

Thanks to @demigodgirl91 for this prompt!

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: In Memoriam

Depict the Phantomhive servants as they discover Agni’s death and struggle to come to terms with it. What do they most clearly remember about Agni? How do they try to honor him? Do they hope he might one day resurface alive, as Sebastian did after Charles Grey “killed” him?

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Professor Michaelis

Professor Michaelis specializes in philosophy-- particularly moral philosophy. That’s likely why nobody suspects him of sleeping with his undergrad TA, Ciel Phantomhive.

Fortunately, the good professor never really believed in those moral theories anyway.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: The Games We Play

Modern AU. Sieglinde has never been particularly interested in playing video games conventionally. She’s more interested in the little level errors, like where her character can fall through the map, and the quirky glitches which give her a quick and dirty shortcut through tedious spots.

Exploiting all of these to her advantage, she starts a youtube account, and the gamer known as ‘The Greenest Witch’ quickly becomes known as an infamous speed-runner.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: The Prince and the Bodyguard

Write Agni's internal monologue as he appreciates Soma, leading to some risque revelations to himself about the relationship he really wants from him.

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Four Swords

Art Prompt. Draw the P4 inspired by this videogame box art:

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: Song Lyrics, pt. 2

Here are some more lyrics from songs that could inspire Kuro fic/art!

“Just one kiss

Is enough to get me drunk right from your lips I would swim Through the deepest oceans just to hear your name (I would, I would, I would) I thought I knew right from wrong But the blood upon these hands has proved me wrong My mistakes can't be covered up You should cover up Won't you cover up?

Just hold on And dance like there's no tomorrow Let's hold on Cause without you there is no me...” -’Where Are The Birds’ by Good Tiger

“Yeah, you do your thing so well I dream of heaven and live in hell.” -‘Till I Can't Take It Anymore,’ which has been covered by a lot of people, though the person who came up with this lyric prompt likes the Charlie Rich version!

“Infecting the mainframe with all my rage Fear and anger my heart shaped cage The circuits scream louder as data flows With every byte the volume grows Press play just to hear it loud And then feel it louder Scream out and keep moving on Like a viral process...” -’Vyperpunk’ by Dope Stars Inc, although the person who came up with this lyrics prompt was listening to the Deathstars remix!

“The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek . . . But I hardly know this beauty by my side” -‘The Lady in Red’ by Chris De Burgh

“Wakin' up in someone else's bed Was what I was waitin' for. Oh my days, what have I done? She saw me sneaking out the door. What have I been waiting for? Been wasting all my time, Watchin' my youth slip away Surely is a crime.” -‘Up All Night’ by Alex Clare

[kuro-prompts]

Prompt: The Fraud

Bravat attends a school for young magicians. It’s filled with seers and sorcerers of all kinds-- Ciel Phantomhive summons extraterrestrial powers, Sebastian Michaelis throws butter knives and fireballs, and Undertaker dabbles in the gray area between healing and necromancy. Bravat is known for being one of the country’s most promising diviners.

There’s one issue though-- Bravat doesn’t actually have any magical powers.
