What’s in the bag for June?
We have eight Swagbag works this month, and another full house of prompt fills!
1. Character prompt: Write a fic from the point of view of an inanimate object, or make artwork celebrating the role of an inanimate object.
Let The World Come At You Love - QuickSilverFox3
Billy looked to the ocean, the ashes of his home and his family covering him like a second skin, and heard the siren song once more. He picked himself up from the ground, the world around him no longer certain, heart hardened to stone, and began to walk.
-
Billy follows the song, and finds his knives, and a surprise at the end.
The Dancing-Place - Fontainebleau
I lived a lifetime, and I am grateful for that. Even the greatest of cities must be born to a small beginning, no more than a huddle of huts behind a wooden palisade or a camp of tents on a foreign shore, and no city at its start can know its own destiny.
Happiness is a Warm Gun - dancinbutterfly, FiliTheLionKing
Only things that can kill, can speak.
2. Theme prompt: ‘Role reversal’.
Beggars Can’t Be Choosers - QuickSilverFox3
Sam has a cunning plan, and he knows exactly who to unleash it on.
-
Joshua only shrugged, shit-eating grin plastered reflexively onto his face, slipping only slightly in the face of Billy’s glare.
“If you die, mon cher,” Goodnight pressed a kiss to Billy’s free hand, “I have poetry ready and prepared.”
3. Format prompt: Letter or Diary format
When The Edge Falls - mysticalninjakoala
…I know this is sudden Mon Cher, but I think I’ve reached my peak. My heart and body can no longer go on with this. Not without losing some of my soul in it, and I’m really not sure there’s still any of it left…
Notes Passing In The Night - QuickSilverFox3
A collection of notes, reports and letters following the Battle of Rose Creek and the developing relationship between four unlikely companions.
4. AU prompt: Steampunk AU
To Get Him Back - QuickSilverFox3
Emma Cullen knows what she needs to do, and she’ll do whatever it takes to succeed.
5. Sentence prompt: “No. You cross that line and we’re done.”
Take What’s Broken (Make It Whole) - QuickSilverFox3
“No. You cross that line and we’re done.”
Faraday paused, eyes — aching with every blink, a dull thrum reverberating through his head — slowly moving from the screen to stare at Vasquez. The other man refused to meet his gaze, jaw clenched tight enough that Faraday winced in sympathy, nails rasping over his stubble.
-
Vasquez and Faraday play Animal Crossing, and talk.
A rich haul for the month, and congratulations to QuickSilverFox3 who scoops the pot again!
