It’s that time of the year again; the time I give all of you wonderful writers a month-long rundown of fluffy prompts! They range from regular and dialogue so there’s something for everyone. If none of the daily prompts on the lists manage to grab your imagination, there’s a list of alternate prompts which are free to use for any day and are there for your interpretation.
The event will start on July 1st and finish on July 31st. But of course, if you can’t complete it in that time, there isn’t a hardcore limit. Create when you can. No rush!
This is a mixed media event so you can do anything that works with the prompt: fanfiction, art, gifs, etc. You can mix prompts too! If you have any concerns or questions, just ask!
Please remember to tag this blog (@fluffuly2023) and tag each post with #fluffuly and #fluffuly2023 Have fun and let’s have an amazing month! :D
Peter Parker Bingo 2023 | 🕠 @pparkerbingo | Bodega
2023 masterlist :: (ao3 link)
RATING: General
WARNING: Waking up early after being jet lagged.
Waking up in the lakehouse is exactly what Peter needs. It has more benefits than his apartment in Boston, and it’s the holidays, a perfect time to get away. | peter parker/harley kenner
luffuly 🌝 2023 | ptpkb 🕠 2023
It’s cold outside, which is because of the winter holidays, Peter is sure there is snow but to actually know that he would have to wake up and move away from the excellent, warm, comfort he has found in his bed. His bed at the lakehouse, his (third?) home.
Peter ultimately prefers the lake house, it is quiet compared to Boston, and New York has always been his home even if he isn’t in Queen’s anymore. Just out of New York, the lakehouse allows for quiet and a small working farm that Gerald likes to eat from, a perfect match.
The lakehouse also comes with some added benefits that his apartment in Boston doesn’t have.
“Peteeer,” Morgan whines from the bottom of Peter’s lake house bed, she’s adorable and Peter’s little sister, but it’s not really the best noise to wake up to, “Harrrrleeeeyyy,” but hearing his boyfriend's name along with his does bring a small smile to his face.
He can hear Pepper’s laugh from the doorway, the laugh that he has come to love after not hearing it for 5 years, “Morgan I think the boys are still jet lagged from their flight last night, let them sleep.” Peter thanks the gods that put Pepper Potts in this world because she just gets it, she lets them sleep when needed and still forces them to participate when necessary, it is a great balance. Especially when it comes to Stark Industries' work.
The frown on Morgan’s face can be heard by the two boys waking up slowly, holding on to each other, because they know the little girl better than herself. She squints, “But Daddy said they were here so they can play pebbles with me,” Harley giggles from the bed. Pepper shoots them both a look that Peter catches but shakes his head at, Morgan much too interested in her mum (and her dad being in trouble) doesn’t notice.
Pepper bites her tongue, not knowing if she will laugh or berate when she finally comes up with her comeback, “Did he?” She asks, to Morgan’s continuous nodding, Tony should be proud of his honest daughter.
Both boys know for sure that Tony is in trouble from the sound of Pepper turning around and heading out of the bedroom, little feet following closely. Knowing they’re gone leaves Harley and Peter to burst out into loud laughter. The laughter that they are sure Morgan can hear, but is much to focus on her dad being told off to care.
“You feel like throwing some pebbles today,” Harley asks Peter turning to lie so they are facing each other. Pepper is right, they are jet lagged and they only touched down at 10 pm last night, but they are both MIT students who aren’t aware of what a bedtime is and so the small tiredness they feel doesn’t seem that extreme.
Peter smiles holding onto Harley, prepared for the day, “sounds like a great day.”
The lakehouse is perfect for Peter, it has a lake they can skip pebbles across and a great family to go with it, a brilliant selling point.

“Let’s just say that … I don’t find it as exciting as you do,” Steve choked, a worried look on his eyes.

Summary:
Neither John, nor Rodney, had expected to remember, nor mark, their own first year of couple-hood; even though the night on which they had finally acknowledged their love, in a blur of mutual confession, enormous relief, and wild and naked limbs, was strongly imprinted on both of their minds, down to the colour of the boxers they had removed with their teeth (John’s, black; Rodney’s, pink with vibrant yellow duckies) and the way that that first kiss had felt, all clumsy and needy and like everything finally made sense.

WARNING: Ineundo's, Harley Keener is Harley Stark, Tony Stark is Harley Keener's Dad, Hanging on the side of a roof
They are both smiling, happy to just be and sit. “You would soak up the sun like a cat, and you could watch me surf down at the beach while you try to focus on the book you’re reading,” Harley tells Peter, coming up with all the reasons Peter would love Malibu. If they weren’t sitting on the edge of a building Peter would have hit Harley for the surfing comment, but they are and so he doesn’t. | Peter Parker/Harley Keener
fluffuly 🌝 2023 | rpb 📪 round 2
“You would love Malibu,” Harley sighs into Peter’s shoulder, legs dangling off of the top of their apartment building in Boston. It is sunny out for once and despite living in the penthouse, thanks to his dad’s expense, Harley can’t help but want to always feel higher, luckily Peter shares the same sentiment.
Peter lays back in the sun, basking in the warm glaze it gives on a Friday afternoon, the semester almost over with only two more exams to go between them. Harley’s final is in Unified Engineering: Thermodynamics and Propulsion, a bore of a class to be in when your whole life you’ve been working out the aerodynamics of a potato gun and Peter’s is in Just Code: The Ethical Lifecycle of Machine Learning, the last subject in his political science major before being able to focus solely on his chemical engineering course.
They are both smiling, happy to just be and sit. “You would soak up the sun like a cat, and you could watch me surf down at the beach while you try to focus on the book you’re reading,” Harley tells Peter, coming up with the best and snarkiest reasons he can think of for why his boyfriend would love Malibu.
If they weren’t sitting on the edge of a building Peter would have hit Harley for the surfing comment, but they are and so he doesn’t. He does have to admit that Harley often makes it hard for him to concentrate on things, but Harley is his boyfriend if Peter wishes to watch and preen he has all the right to.
The will set soon and so Harkye just keeps rattling off reasons before it does, “And you would love dad’s lab, and I have my own small section but I was too young when we lived there permanently to have my own like in New York.” He smiles thinking of both homes, the move to New York, meeting Peter because of the move, and all the other great things New York has offered, “there’s the boardwalk we could go to and ride all the rides, go shopping, just enjoy each others company in a king size bed.” For that Peter does really hit Harley, once he knows it is safe, and Halrey is prepared for it.
Moving further into the roof so they aren’t as dangerously dangling off from it Peter sighs, “Too bad we are stuck here for summer break,” he shrugs off the possibility of going to Malibu rather happy just to soak up the small amount of sun Boston will give them this summer. They should really be focusing on the upcoming exams they have but Peter just couldn’t resist the slither of sun.
“We don’t have to,” Harley takes Peter’s hand maneuvering him to fit into his lap, leaning back onto his chest, “I’m sure Dad wouldn’t mind us crashing, he, Steve and Morgan are all staying at the lakehouse permanently, nobody uses it but I know it’s clean and available.” Harley had already asked his dad about the possibility and while Tony was suspicious Steve thought it was a great idea, letting it slip that it is always prepared for visitors.
Peter smiles at the idea, that it actually might be feasible before he comes back to the reality of Peter Parker, not Harley Stark. Frowning thinking about the bill and the cost, Peter shakes his head in Harley’s chest “There is no way I can afford the flights Harls.” He sighs not moving to face Harley, because he really feels quite bad about ruining the fun of the summer and all the imaginary plans created in their heads.
Harley just laughs, holding on to Peter and kissing his cheek, “But I do, I mean well, Dad does and I know he would love to spend it on you, I would love to spend it on you.” They really care about each other and Harley appreciates Peter’s absence of using Stark money, but Harley doesn’t care, not when it comes to Peter.
“It is all worth it if it makes you smile,” Harley says, turning Peter to face him once again, leaning, matching their foreheads together, “I love you,” he finishes.
And Peter just smiles thinking of all the possibilities, the life ahead of them, the world for them to conquer as they sit up on the highest building, above everyone and everything. They love each other and the summer sun will be nice and they can watch the sunset and sunrises, bright and beautiful, sunshine. Harley makes Peter happy, and he’s in love.

“It’s okay,” Bucky smiles at him while Rebecca climbs on his lap. “I can show you”

Excerpt:
That’s the funny thing that happens when you fall in love with your best friend, Steve realises. You expect to spend every moment of joy by their side, and every moment of sorrow too, along with everything that happens between those.
And only some lucky ones like Steve get to do it, though, now being blessed by the opportunity to be frozen in time, and feel like nothing has changed: with the chance to relive every birthday over again, even if they are so much different from what they used to be like before the war. Their war has ended now, and time only freezes when his eyes find Bucky’s, staring at him like he’s the most precious thing he’s ever seen, and making him feel like he is twenty-one, and sixteen, and even ten, all at once right at that exact moment.

WARNING: Panic Attacks generalised detailed, Sensory overload mentioned, Emotional support animals
The dog lying on Peter’s feet brings him back to a sense of normal, one that isn’t spinning, freezing or closing in on him. This one was much more supportive. It was also fluffy, trying to ground Peter again, barking quietly to get him out of his head, it was working. | tony stark/stephen strange
fluffuly 🌝 2023 | isb 🏥 round 3
Peter Parker struggles, his breaths are rapid and he feels enclosed in a tiny room despite knowing the library is one of the larger rooms on campus. It isn’t like his normal attacks, sensory overloads, those are from his senses being powered up to 11, these are new. His therapist says their panic attacks, something she suspects he has been going through for many years but learnt, and was taught, to ignore and mask, because it was unsafe to panic. Now in a stable house, she observes that Peter has been able to let down his guard, so his mask began slipping allowing anxiety to reroot itself.
Moving in with Tony and Stephen has been good, frightening and confusing at first, but good. Much better than most of his other foster homes, all of his other foster homes, because here they cared about him. They let him eat ice cream on week-nights and explore new environments at his own pace, there’s no pressure on grades or work ethic just as long as he is getting things done, healthily.
This explains the comforting body in front of him, and the dog lying on Peter’s feet bringing him back to a sense of normal, one that isn’t spinning, freezing or closing in on him. This one was much more supportive. It was also fluffy, trying to ground Peter again, barking quietly to get him out of his head, it was working.
“Hi Pete,” Stephen says quietly as Peter opens his eyes back up, the dog, his dog, sniffing his hand, the cold wet nose standing out to the rest of the feeling, “Ms Carlyle called and said you came here for some peace and quiet.” Pete nods feeling the mixed white, black and light brown fur that the dog below him brings, recently washed he notes.
Tony noticed that when Peter moved in he felt uncomfortable in the new, accommodating space, very different to what he experienced previously. After searching and researching Stephen and Tony found Tigger, a qualified trained service dog, Australian Sheppard, perfect for Peter. They got to explore their new home together and calmed each other anxieties, spending time together made the move much more comfortable and now Peter gets to grow with Tigger. It helps that Stephen and Tony love him as well, Peter and Tigger.
Peter sighs smiling, calmer than he was moments ago, “Are we going home?” He asks quietly so as not to ruin the peaceful atmosphere that the library creates, the reason he came here in the first place.
Stephen nods putting Tigger’s leash into Peter’s hand, “Tony has been begging to take you out of school to get milkshakes since we met you, he thinks it is a right of passive as a teenager.” That makes Peter chuckle slightly, it is going to take him a while to move away from the weird funk that panic attacks put him into, but Stephen is on the right path.
When they get to the car, after Stephen goes through all the proper procedures to sign Peter out, they meet Tony, hanging out the window of the range rover, “look at Mr Parker skipping school!” It doesn’t set the comfort levels in Peter off and so instead he just shyly waves.
That is enough for Tony, he smiles turning around in his car seat so he can face Peter “I don’t know what Stephen has told you but I have made the important decision that on days like this burgers and milkshakes are required, what do you think?” He reaches to ruff up Tigger’s fur who just ignores the man and digs back into Peter’s skin.
Stephen rolls his eyes and looks his husband in the eyes, “what am I going to do with you?”
Peter is laughing, giggling in the back seat. Panic attacks are forgotten and burgers and milkshakes are on the forefront.
