I found out that creativepromptsforwriting is doing another prompt week and it’s Valentine’s Day themed and HOW DID I MISS THIS???  Regardless, now I gotta write something for the prompts! C:

As usual, the stories are for the characters in my game Romance The Backrooms, a liminal space otome with 5 main love interests.

There were too many good prompts to choose form, so I ended up writing multiple stories.  They will be splt into 2 parts; I’ll link Part 2 when it’s up.  Enjoy!

These may or may not be canon.

Today’s Overall Prompt: Accidental Love Confessions

__________

Story 1’s Prompts: Confessing in the middle of a stupid fight; During a very stressful situation, one screams "I care about you, can't you see that I love you?"

Characters: Glarence & Carla (the main character)

Other Info: Inspired by my BPD.

“I push everyone I care about away,” Glarence snapped.  “I’m unstable—everyone around me can see that.  So why the FUCK don’t you?!”

“Because I care about you, and I’m not letting you just shove me into a corner like some forgotten toy!” Carla shouted, clenching her fists.

Glarence scoffed.  “You don’t care about me.”

“Of course I do!” Carla exclaimed.  Anger & passion ran through her in equal measure, and she shouted. “Can you see that I love you?!”

Glarence’s eyes widened in surprise.  “You do?” he asked, utterly dumbfounded for perhaps the first time in his life.

Carla looked into his eyes and nodde.  “I do,” she replied.  “I love you, Glarence.”

Story 2’s Prompts: Saying "you're lucky I love you" and realizing too late what they said

Characters: Kalcal & Zenobos

Other Info: I write a lot of Kalcal x Zenobos stories, this is the latest one of the bunch.

Zenobos gave Kalcal a plate of food, looking embarrassed.  “I kind of burned the Hound meat,” the green entity said sadly.  “I’m sorry if it tastes bad. . .”

“Hey, your food always tastes amazing!” Kalcal replied, taking the food and ruffling Zenobos’ hair playfully.

Zenobos giggles.  “And if it does taste bad?” he asks.

Kalcal laughed.  “Then consider yourself lucky that I love you, buddy!”

Zenobos blinked, and stared at his friend.  “You. . . You love me?” he squeaked.

“Of course I do, buddy!” Kalcal exclaimed.  He leaned down and kissed Zenobos on the forehead.  “You’re the person I’m closest to in the world.  I love you more than anyone.” Zenobos blushed.  “Thank you, Kalcal.”

“I have dreamed of you.” (Romance The Backrooms x Elder Scrolls)

While working on the Love Confession Weeks prompts, I found this interesting prompt by @creativepromptsforwriting .  It inspired me to write an Elder Scrolls AU for my Romance The Backrooms characters.

As usual, the stories are for the characters in my game Romance The Backrooms, a liminal space otome with 5 main love interests.

Prompts: “I have dreamed of you.”

Characters: Glarence & Carla (the main character)

Other Info: Like it says in the title, this is an Elder Scrolls AU.  The basic idea is that Glarence is a Daeric Prince (these are basically arch-demons in the Elder Scrolls universe) who has been appearing in the dreams of a mortal named Carla.  When Carla wakes up from her latest dream, Glarence is by her bedside.

For the nerds out there, Glarence takes the place of Azura, and in this AU, there are only 5 Daedric Princes, each of them being 1 of the main love interests in Romance The Backrooms.  Kalcal is Boethiah, Uri & Manorial are Clavicus Vile & Barbas respectively, Zenobos is Hermaeus Mora, and Adiel is Meridia.

Though I love the Elder Scrolls games, I’m not completely immersed in the lore, so be sure to let me know if there’s anything I should fix or improve.  Thanks!

Carla (an Dunmer) sat up, blinking the sleep out of her eyes as the end of her dream echoed in her memory.  Then, she saw a familiar figure sitting in the chair by her bedside, and gasped—it was the one she had been dreaming about!  The King Of Dawn And Dusk, clothed in a robe and holding a staff. . .

“Daedric Prince Glarence!” she gasped!, hardly believing what she was seeing.

“In the flesh,” the daedra replied with a chuckle.

“I have dreamed of you, my lord,” Carla said, sitting on the edge of the bed to face him.

Glarence smiled.  “What was I doing in your dream, mortal?”

“You were leading me through the streets of the Imperial City, telling me that if I followed you, I could be seated by the emperor,” Carla replied.

Glarence nodded.  “Dreams can be so revealing, can’t they?” he asked.  “They can tell you so much about who you’re fated to be . . . if you believe my words, of course.”

“I do,” Carla replied.  “I want to follow you, and let you lead me to my destiny.” “Excellent,” Glarence said.  “I do love guiding mortals. . . Let’s get started.”

24 Days of Gift-Giving: Six Sappy Sentences

Happy December, everyone!

So, @creativepromptsforwriting is doing a writing thing called “24 Days of Gift-Giving” where each day of December has a prompt, so I figured it would be fun to write something up for each prompt!  Feel free to participate too, if you’d like!  It could be a fun writing game!

Like usual, I will be doing these for the characters of my story Romance The Backrooms, a liminal space otome with 5 main love interests. 

Today’s Prompt: Six Sappy Sentences; “You make me fall in love with you over and over again.”

Characters: Glarence & Carla (the main character)

Other Info: Post-RtB, takes place in the frontrooms (Earth).  This is Part 2 of Day 5’s story; you can read Part 1 here.

__________

After the party was over, Glarence & Carla relaxed together in the living room, cuddling with Cold Case on in the background (Carla was getting Glarence into that show, and he was really enjoying it.

“Did you like the party?” Carla asked shyly.

“I loved it,” Glarence told her with a smile.  “It was really thoughtful.  Thank you.”

“I’m glad.”  Carla looked relieved.  “I know you said not to make a big deal about your birthday, but I figured you’ve never gotten a big party before, and you deserved one.  So I called up Adiel, and he helped me organize it.”

“That was nice of him,” Glarence said.  He reached over and ruffled her hair playfully.  “You really know how to make me feel special, huh, human?”

Carla laughed.  “I certainly do!”

Glarence’s hand glided down to her cheek, which he cupped tenderly.  His face turned more serious, and he said, “I love you, Carla.  I’m so glad you’re my partner.  You make me fall in love with you over and over again.”

Carla blushed.  “I love you too, Glarence,” she told him.  “You’re really important to me.  I’m glad I have you by my side.”

Glarence planted a gentle kiss on her cheek.  When he leaned back, the two shared a smile.

Today had truly been a special day, and it had made their bond stronger.

24 Days of Gift-Giving: Five Fights (and Reconciliations)

Happy December, everyone!

So, @creativepromptsforwriting is doing a writing thing called “24 Days of Gift-Giving” where each day of December has a prompt, so I figured it would be fun to write something up for each prompt!  Feel free to participate too, if you’d like!  It could be a fun writing game!

Like usual, I will be doing these for the characters of my story Romance The Backrooms, a liminal space otome with 5 main love interests. 

Today’s Prompt: Five Fights (and Reconciliations); He had told her not to make a fuss about his birthday. He definitely hadn’t told her to plan a surprise party.

Characters: Glarence & Carla (the main character)

Other Info: Post-RtB, takes place in the frontrooms (Earth)

__________

Glarence tried not to make a big deal about his birthday.  For one, it was on a leap day, so he only got to truly celebrate it every 4 years.  And even if it wasn’t, it’s not like the day he started existing was anything to write home about.

He tried to emphasize this to Carla as February 28th (it was not a leap year) approached.  It would be the first time his birthday passed since he was with her, and he tried hard to tell her that it would be just another day.

So when he came home on the afternoon of the 28th, opened the door, and was greeted by Carla and his friends yelling, “SURPRISE!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Glarence was, to say the least, quite shocked.

At first, he was angry.  He had told Carla not to make his birthday a big event, but she had gone against his wishes!  But the more he thought about it, the more his anger started to dissipate, and his heart began to melt.  Carla was the kind of person to make milestones into big celebrations, no matter how large or small.  It was her way of showing the people she loved how much she cared about them.  And the fact Carla had done this for him truly showed that love towards him.

Carla saw Glarence’s emotions on his face, and she went up to him, taking his hand.  “Are you ok?” she asked.

Glarence nodded and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.  “Yeah.  Thanks, hun.  You really surprised me,” he said to her.

Carla grinned.  “I’m so glad!  Now, let’s go to the kitchen with everyone!  I got you a dark chocolate mint cake—your favorite.”

Glarence smiled.  “That sounds great.”

And so, off they went, with their friends.

(Go here for Part 2)
