Invite to join the GK Pick-Me-Ups prompt collection!

Myself and @nanuk-dain got inspired this week by a little gif they found on an old hard drive, and we'd love to invite others to partake in the fun! Here's the prompt (and the gif, under the keep reading):

Write a fic where one character literally picks up another one

Can (but doesn't have to) follow the general idea of the scene below: Present - Fantasy/Memory - Present

Whatever pairing -  - Whatever length - - Art welcome!

If you post on AO3, please use the tag GK Pick-me-ups so readers can sort by this prompt. If you want to, we'd love for you to add your story to the collection too!

Feel free to pass the invitation along, and join us in creating a wee pick-me-up for the GK fandom!

(also, if anyone knows the source of this gem, please let us know so we can give proper credit where it is definitely due)

I think I've read all of Out of the Wood like three times, it's just so good! I just wanna read about more woodsy goblin shenanigans!

Aaaa, I’m glad you like it! With any luck, I’ll be brainstorming more woodsy goblin shenanigans today.

Out of the woods is so good... I can't wait to watch them fall in love

Gahh, thanks, Lucia! I can’t wait to figure out how that’s going to happen

just read ivory tower again all in one sitting it's inCREDIBLE!!!! one of the best fics I've ever read certainly character - wise your e/c have the best chemistry I've ever seen omg!!

Oh my gosh, thank you! I love writing romantic tension so that’s a relief to hear!

I wholeheartedly agree with that one anon about Ivory Tower! It has me totally enthralled and I ADORE Unsung, but I feel like the setting of Ivory Tower, the character dynamics, everything is just so fascinating and it has me so ready to learn more. I don't think I've ever been more invested in a fic than with Ivory Tower. My limbs start buzzing when I think about it too long.

Gah, that’s so good to hear! I’m going to try and work on it a little bit now and hope that the dayquil doesn’t make me space out

I wanted you to know that I suffer a lot from mental gunk, and when I get really panicky or sad, I read over my favourite scenes that you've written and it helps me get into a better brain-place. Thank you for your amazing work, I truly appreciate it. <3

😭

I’m so sorry to hear about your mental gunk and so so amazed and flattered to hear that my writing helps. oh my goodness.

I absolutely love how you write Erik even switching from the Ivory Tower to the smut fic you just wrote I can tell you write the same character with different sides to his behavior it's wondrously cohesive and I can't wait for whatever you do next.
