Bad Situations for Two (for drabbles or AU starters)
Send “How did we get in this mess?” and I’ll use a random number generator:
Our characters are pinned down under enemy gunfire inside a building. Write a drabble for what they do.
One of our characters has been declared “Patient Zero.”
Your character walks in on mine in the shower.
My character finds yours passed out on his/her bed.
There’s been a mixup by the hotel and both characters have been assigned the same room and have to spend the night together (optional: neither know each other)
One character drops something both characters need down a storm drain.
Characters are drunk and can’t find the way home.
One crashes into the other’s car.
Being mugged while together.
Both characters happen to a safehouse on the side of the road during a terrible storm.
Car dies while in the middle of nowhere.
Characters kidnapped/taken hostage together.
Being photographed in a compromising position and blackmailed.
Exposed together to a virus/plague/poison.
Snowed in with minimal resources.
Caught in a zombie apocalypse together.
Characters locked into a room for “Seven Minutes in Heaven” at a party… and the party-goers forget to let them out.
Being locked in a mall overnight.
Partners in a criminal act gone wrong
