yaaayyyy prompts!! maybe a mix of both the five sentence ones and the vulnerability prompts? whichever floats your boat!

"I owe you an explanation."

"You've never owed me shit, Tommy."

That doesn't satisfy Thomas though, judging by the way he still stands and fidgets by Patrick's side as he unloads the truck. He's wearing that woollen overcoat the army gave him, and it seems to swallow him up. Patrick didn't think it was possible for anything to look too big on Thomas, not after that growth he spurt he'd had at fifteen and the way it had stretched him in every direction, but here he was, home from the war with a wife and kid and looking smaller than he had ever been before. He was pale, and thin, and fragile-looking, and it made Patrick sick in a way he didn't know how to explain to see him so changed.

The amazing thing about books is how they have lives of their own. Writers think they know their business when they sit down to compose a new work, and I suppose they do, right up to the moment when the last piece of punctuation gets planted on the final sentence. More often than not, that punctuation is a period. It should be a question mark, though, because what occurs from then on is anybody's guess.

Oh oh oh you'll get a kick out of this but I found a bunch of family-name-heraldry-and-motto things on holiday and the Foster one? 'Strong Though Broken'. (Yes I did buy the little family crest pin, bc I'm trash) - Nathan

I'm going to start crying thinking of little baby Arthur going through his father's stuff, because Libby wants to throw them out, only to find this rattling tiny tin box hidden somewhere in his clothes. He can't get it to open, the lid is on too tight, but he can hear something rattling in there, and he wants it, so he keeps the tin box and brings it with him when he runs away, and tasks Esther to keep it safe for him for a little while until, finally, the war ends and he goes home a whole man yet still half the man he was, and Esther gives him his little tin box back, and he hangs on to it, out of habit, completely forgetting to open it.

Until one day, when he really fucking needs it, he pries the thing open with his blunt finger nails and in it, like a ghost, like a message from above, like a reminder of his past, and a herald to a Future, is the Foster family crest pin that Thomas had stolen off his old man's drawers in hopes of pawning it off but never could quite do so; battered and dented, but still winking up at him with a tiny banner around its bottom: Strong Though Broken.

May I dare you for the ABBA Shenanigans fic? To either find or create an appearance of one of these quotes from the songs in the fic?

And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise

All I've learned has overturned

The Gods may throw a dice (their minds as cold as ice)

Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze

The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself

The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive

(And for the slight chance of fugitive appearing) You say that I waste my time, but I can't get you off of my mind

If that's not your thing, I know you have included some of these songtitles, so I'll gladly take one of those instances, too. Or any other snippet you want to share, really :) I am very excited about the abba fic, too

Okay, I know I'm late to answering this, but I'm doing it now!!!

I'm not sure I'll manage to fit the exact quotes (because they are a bit clunky to put into prose when they're rhymed, I think), but maybe I'll manage to at the very least indicate them or use them as metaphors, and I'll definitely put in as many titles as I can!

What I can well imagine is using the first one as indicating the moustache Stonn has (which, in the fic, he literally glued to his face because he thinks it looks neat XD), and some of them could definitely fit River or Missy, both of which are characters who can just toss in lyrics without it seeming out of character. And who knows, perhaps Mels could just start singing "Take a Chance on me" to Fugitive? It would definitely seem in-character to me!

I'd love to send you a snippet, but I think you've read pretty much everything I have written for it so far. I will promise you though that MarchingBand will definitely appear (as Fugitive will have to officiate the wedding after Vella hrm... "disposed of" the old priest. And some version of River definitely has to show up to the wedding, and since River Song shows up earlier in the story... Why not use Mels XD)
