☀️ The heat is on, and so are we! One month until the DamiDick Summer Challenge kicks off, and we’re turning up the temperature and the chaos. 😎🔥

As promised, you'll get to vote on a wild card prompt each week. That means five prompts total per week: four planned and one spicy surprise cooked up by YOU.

We’re now accepting suggestions for those 13 bonus prompts—so bring the weird, the wonderful, and the why-not.

Think of:

💔 Secret late-night texts no one’s supposed to see

🔥 Stuck in a heatwave with only one fan and a whole lot of unresolved tension

🎡 Summer fair shenanigans with too many opportunities for accidental hand-holding

🏊 Poolside tension where one of them is absolutely, unfairly shredded and the other is trying very hard not to stare

🏖️ A beach getaway with just one bed and way too much eye contact

🍹 Cocktail-induced confessions that maybe weren’t entirely accidental

🌠 A rooftop stakeout that turns into a slow-burn heart-to-heart

🏴‍☠️ Time-traveling beach pirates who don’t know how to express feelings but are excellent with swordplay

🎡 Stuck on a Ferris wheel at sunset with just enough unresolved tension to kill a man

👀 Beach body moment—shirt comes off, feelings come on, and someone needs to walk into the ocean to cool down

🧃 An AU where Damian and Dick are rival summer camp counselors trying not to fall for each other (and failing)

☀️... or whatever your sun-soaked brain can come up with.

✨ WE WANT IT. THE YEARNING. THE SLOW BURN. THE “WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?” ✨

🎭 Any genre, any rating welcome—Go G, go NSFW, go absolutely feral—it’s your summer too. We want slice-of-life, fantasy, romcom, angst, smut, fluff, emotional devastation... as long as Damian Dick is in the center of the mess.📌

Ready, set, summer chaos. 🌴🕶️🍉
